Belly flop!!
This game is going to be crucial for us. Hopefully it will turn out to be like last years playoff game against them.

First play prediction anyone? I am guessing a pass to Mason to start the game off.

24 Ravens 17 Patriots

Lets Go Ravens!!

Bad News NBH. They emptied the pool a few days ago. Ouch!

I'm always second to the used pool. Oh well, I'll take it if the Ravens can win.

[flaccopoe]

Brady scores 2 TDs by throwing long passes (to bypass our stellar defense) and makes 2 FG drives. win Sunday 27-20!

Butt buster! (classic diving board move)

Here we go!! This game will further shape our season. During the Flacco era, we had yet to jump the hurdle of beating the playoff caliber teams. We've always been beating the teams we're supposed to, but losing to the likes of Pitt, Indy, Indy, NE etc....So far, we've taken down Pitt, NYJ and the hight flying Broncos! Let's keep it up and beat NE on the ground!

27-17

[DrMoonTooth]

We've got to put a harness on Brandon Tate. If we can keep him in check, we'll be that much closer to another tough road win. I'm just not sure they can replace the playmaking ability of Moss in one BYE week.

Hello Mother, Hello Father,

I'm pinned under,

Haloti Ngata,

Where's the ref at?

Is there one near?

The Brady rule is in effect so throw a flag here!

Anyone know if we are going to be wearing black?

In addition to the previous responses, the team wouldn't wear an alternate jersey on a road game anyway. Teams tend to save their special jerseys for their home games, especially since they have no say in their jersey selection when they go on the road.

LOL That's great!

Ravens 27 - Pats 10

I really think our defense will be too much for the Pats this go around.
Brady will have to stick to throwing to short routes (to keep from being on his back) and their ground game isn't very good, especially against our run-D. Our offense should be able to run or pass against their D. I see a nice win here!

[ravensfan2424]

Pats arent that different from the Broncos:

Exceptional QB

Little to No Running back skill

Average offense line

Average Defensive Line

Mediocre Linebackers

Above Average Secondary

Excellent returners

Decent Kickers


No different, should produce same result

[ravensfan2424]

i know we are wearing white for being on the road but does anyone know when we do wear black? isnt it Tampa, New Orleans, and idk the last one

Not the Patriots. Their secondary is horrible. But other than that, yep, Josh McDaniels made himself a little Patriots.

Read the game day thread....oh wait, that's this thread

Edit - Looks like this may have been a new post that was merged, which makes it even worse, ha!

Pound. The. Rock. Please.

Ravens. 31-17

Suggs seems to take playing against Brady personally. He usually has a good game, and is in great shape this year.
Plus Brady's new haircut should be added incentive for Suggs.
How much does that mop cost to cut through?

It depends on if he's using Justin Bieber's stylist or not!

[ravensdfan]

Wanted to take a dip before going to work. I think this will be a tough game. I WANT the Ravens to destroy them. Here's to the O tearing up that young secondary!

[BEKKA6218]

wishing u guys the best today i love u guys i know u guys r going to the superbowl this year

[Jamal]

I hope Suggs continues his forcing a fumble against Brady streak.

[RavensAllTheWay]

What's really good about this years Ravens team is that we have so many ways to win games and practically every win comes in different fashion. The Patriots are known for finding ways to win, but Deion Branch and Julian Edelman are gonna have to show up today if Tom is gonna have a chance.

[Purple Nurple]

Wes Welker is gonna get hit.

[Ravensfan23]

I've said this for the last 2 games, and the same holds true for this game. Everyone seems to take one area of the game and keys on that being the deciding factor of if a team will be able to beat the Ravens or not.

Steelers, #4 ranked rushing attack and Troy......but everyone seemed to ignore that 17th ranked pass defense that Cam took advantage of.

Broncos #1 ranked passing attack, but everyone seemed to forget that football is played with both an offense and defense, so if your defense can't stop anyone, what good is a great passing game?

Now this week it's all about Brady minus Moss, how will BB put this offense together to attack the Ravens defense, or the Pats won a SB without Moss.

However again what people seem to not realize is that the Pats defense is poor. They are giving up over 50% on 3rd down conversions. Much like the Broncos game, the Ravens will move up and down the field controlling the clock and keeping Brady on the sidelines.

People in NE are really upset about trading Moss, and the Ravens could really turn that crowd into a bunch of boo birds early if they can get a few 3 and outs and get a early lead.

I see a tight game but the Ravens will start to pull away and the Patriots won't be able to keep up.

I think they will try to take Rice away early and Flacco will make them pay. That will loosen things up late for Rice and McGahee. I look for an explosion on the offensive side of the ball. Close to 500 yards of total offense and atleast 4 TDs. I just don't know exactly where it comes from.

I feel more confident this game, than any of our other games so far, even the Browns. That's saying a lot. Usually I always think it'll be a tough battle. Just too many matchups to exploit.

Oddly, I feel the opposite way. I think it's going to be tough going there and beating them (again). I'm cautiously hopeful but that "bye week" thing is a huge hurdle.
