Jumping On The Texans Bandwagon Today....who Is With Me?

[Texunsss]

I agree that your division is def. the most brutal in the sport, but this sunday will be just as brutal for you guys. It is going to be a great game and its sad that only 16% of voters on NFLN want to see this game. Really? GG

What do they know? Obviously they don't like defense and run stuffing

I noticed a lot of fans rooting for Houston yesterday, including me. But now that Denver won, I think Houston is a much more formidable opponent. Anyone wishing that they rooted for Cincy instead? Not that it would have impacted the outcome of the game, but purely from a psychological standpoint.

[Moderator 2]

Nope because we tend to crap out mentally against Cinci. Lets face it, it the playoffs and the best 6 teams in the conference no matter how you slice it

I hope yall get what yall wish for. I myself, would think you would rather play a 6 seed over a 3 seed any day. But whatever floats your boat. [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/img]

6th seed but in a tougher division. We will see how you look at the Bank.

[True]

Honestly I don't mind who comes inot M&T because either way I'm confident the Ravens will play their best at home (8-0).

no!

what is up with all of the negativity of the Ravens playing the texans at home? wow! the texans are a good team BUT they beat the bengals. the bengals! you know, the team that we beat 2x and we beat the texans 1x. now they come to M&T where there hasn't been a playoff game in a few years...the players are fired up...we fans are fired up and the entire city of Baltimore is fired up....and yet....we're making negative posts about them? smh!

Not at all. Rather get the divisional folks out of the playoffs.

Plus the media attention would be too great if we were to play Tebow.

Steelers fans thought they got a good draw. Look how that turned out.

We play the team in our path.

[FerrariFan87]

Yup, I wouldn't have changed a thing... no team is an easy out in the NFL, especially in the playoffs. Our guys will be well rested and ready to rumble.

Either way, Cincy would have went to NE..... So, it makes no difference.

Also, the Texans don't know us as well as Cincy.

Yeah but obviously neither is in the playoffs anymore, so you can't keep relying on that statement. The Texans are going be a tough out, even if you are perfect at home.

[BmorBirds]

Just let things fall how they may. I'd rather beat the best like we have all year than looking for the easy way out.

We are use to that. We are a small market team that everybody loves to hate.

I actually prefer to have this game fly under the radar.

Try being constantly overshadowed by the Cowgirls who haven't been good in over a decade.

[Ravens549]

Denver has a better chance of beating Pats than Cinci. Did I really just say that?

I feel your pain. Always loved your team and organization. We as orgs seem to have many of the same struggles.

Our organization is very classy. We tend to be drama free and usually always fly under the radar. I guess it doesnt help that we struggle on the national stage. Your divisional games are fun to watch year after year and I hope (next year) you guys win a ring =)

I agree, sort of. Denver is on an emotional high and just took out one of the most battered teams in the playoffs. (How Ben managed to play this long with that bum ankle is a testament to his toughness.) There are still an 8-8 team (9-8 now, I guess).

I do hope they take out the Pats for us if only because then we'll get the Championship here at home. I'd love to be able to go to both games. But really only the Steelers and us have teams built to take on the Pats. Cinci at least knows the model, even if they aren't as good at execution.

Can you imagine if Tebow Time happened in Baltimore in the AFCCG!?!? I'd never be the same.

[JimJ]

Texans are a good team but I'm not too worried. They beat a rookie QB at home. Coming into M&T with a rookie QB and facing a team with tons of playoff experience is a different story. The only reason I think it will be close is Andre Johnson is a beast and so is Foster (though we stopped him last time). I could see one or both of them busting a big play or two, but we should still be able to rattle Yates and get the W. I'm hoping Suggs has a huge day feasting on the rookie.

[darklight1216]

Root for a divisional rival? No thanks.

~Mili[/quote]Exactly... what the hell is goin on? R we really scared of the Texans? They have proven nothing by beating up on the Bengals.. yes they r a good team and a good defense, but we been there and done that. This team is special.. we r undefeated at home and 5-0 all time against the Texans. It won't be easy but I kno we will win this game.

[keebl3rs]

After watching the Broncos beat the Steelers 29-23, I'm not taking anything for granted

Having said that, I feel confident that if both teams were to play their best football.. we'd come out on top.

Really. The Texans are a solid team, but they will be at the Bank. That is a tough stage to play on for anyone not the Ravens.

You're crazy dude. Steelers are a better team than Houston.

You still think the steelers are the better team now lol?
