I know their team is depleted, but Peyton Manning is still Peyton Manning.

Hmm wonder if this guy is going to come back after they got beat and eat those words about how "not scary" ray rice is.

Either way it was a good game and NO will make a decent playoff run imo.


On the Colts: I hope we do play them in the playoffs.

I WANT to play Indy. We will smash them.

I want to play them as well. Time for that monkey to jump off our backs too.

Any way you slice it, barring some upstart surprising someone, the road to Dallas will be a tough one.

As it stands right now, through Indy, Pitt and probably NE.

We get through that, don't think there is an NFC team tough enough to take that Lombardi.

If we are the 5 seed, wouldnt we play NE round 2? Then to Pitt, unless the Jets can upset them.

I might be wrong, I can never remember what leagues re-seed the playoffs.

Yes, we'd play NE first if all things stay the same. Then to Pitt unless someone knocks them out. Either way, right now it seems as if we'd have all three of them to get past on our way to Dallas.

I think we can beat all three of these teams in the playoffs. And, it would depend on who wins what on Wildcard Weekend whether we'd go to Pitt or NE.

Round after the wild card depends which seeds win the WC games....no way to predict anything but the WC round at this point.

Congrats to your team; you beat us today. We played with absolutely no sense of urgency, and you laid the wood to us when it counted.

I try to dislike every team that we play, but fans like you guys made it impossible this week.

Here's to a deep playoff run for both teams... and maybe a re-match.

!@#*%(^$@#$# . Great game. Funny, I thought for sure when we got the ball inside the 10 yard line with just over 3 min to go....ugh. ( My Raven buddy txted me...."oh no" lol )

Anyway, just as I originally thought...Ray Rice. Our tackling was just bad. I said earlier I was going to watch that closely and sure enough it was 1 guy....doesnt work.

Hard fought game on both sides. Homefield advantage always plays a role at this level deep in December. I think defensively, we were out coached. We look like we were expecting more pass and got more run. Offensively, we got into a rhythm at the end of the 1st half, stop u on 1st drive of second half and come out running instead of 5 wide. Lots of talk about that this morning. ( actually I have a self-imposed ban from Saints message boards since they are in "FULL MELTDOWN MODE" since yesterday...to be expected. )

Good luck the rest of the way. Maybe we can play again...this time on a "neutral field"?


ps...Just glad i am not a Giants fan or I would be floating in the Hudson right about now...
