Kickoff at M&T Bank Stadium was originally scheduled for 1 p.m. ET, but was [b][url="http://blogs.baltimoreravens.com/?p=2561"]moved by the NFL due to an oncoming snow storm in the Baltimore area[/url][/b].

Devin Hester might not play. Him not on the field would be a really good thing.

As I said before, the D needs to pressure Cutler, get him rattled and out of rhythm and turn him into the turnover machine.

Playoff spot is ours to win or lose and it starts here.

[ROH522155]

Im so excited!! Ravens win 24-13!

I hate 4:15 games.

That's why I really don't want it to be on Monday. Do you think that a Ravens/Bears game would take precidence over an NFC East matchup?

Fox always shows Redskins games over Ravens games in Northern Virginia (last week, for instance) but since Washington plays on Monday I was finally going to be able to watch my team play. No such luck.

While we're on the subject, here's the coverage map.

You can't expect a local team to be shown over the Steelers.

It looks like my area should be showing the Ravens game, but Fios tells me other wise. I don't know what will happen now that the Eagles game has changed.

Well I'm going so I dont care, lol. But it think the only the Chicago and Baltimore areas will get the game.

[MsMarvel73]

Well according to the update, my area will still be getting the Ravens game. Like I said before, I'll believe it when I see it.

Here's a shot at the AMAZING job the crews did at M&T Bank Stadium prepping for today's game: [url="http://twitpic.com/udb84"]TwitPic[/url]

I'm in awe of how great of a job they did, clearing all the snow off the field. Some of the upper decks are still a little messy, but otherwise, great work.

Amazing is right. The grounds crew deserves something special for their great effort and an exemplary job done under harsh conditions.
