You mean their offensive line is a bunch of holders that's what they are. Hopefully the Patriots offensive line isn't as grabby as the Texans offensive line. Then again who needs the Patriots offensive line when the refs will protect Brady.

Light,Mankins,Connely,Waters. I think thats a pretty solid group lol. Regardless if they hold Brady always has plenty of time

[MagicianCamille]

If our O plays like that again we're toast.

At least the Pats don't have a d-line like the the texans

give Flacco more time hopefully.. We need our recievers to get open too!

[Gordo52]

We gotta beat the best to be the best. If were the better team we will win. If not then we dont deserve to. I just cant wait already lol

[BmoreRav]

We need to get this performance out of our minds. We've seen all season that we can struggle one week and look like world beaters the following week! Not to mention that the Pats are nowhere near as talented on D as the Texans are. We have to give them a lot of credit for their performance today!

[dpatrickguy]

The Texans are going to be pretty darn good next year that is for sure

Houston had a great defense this year though too. You have to credit them for their defense.

I think that's what our fans aren't fully grasping; this is a GREAT defense, #2 in the league! Straight up they made our OL look amateur hour. But that being said, Patriots have the #31 defense. It LOOKS to be an easier matchup. I'm excited!

Oh of course not. Would you expect the talking heads to give an equal and objective analysis?

Ravens O sucked beter get better, Ravens will need about 28 pts to win next sunday...

The New England Offense isn't going walk over our Defense,some of you act like they will.

[D_UP]

Those patsy fans will look at this game today and think this game will be cake for them. I think the Ravens are going to brutalized these soft dudes.

Not if it involves a Raven

[Militant X 1]

no doubt that the prognasticators will pick the patriots to win next week and site our stalled offense and joe flacco's gameplay as the reason for it.

If our horrid OC can dial up 20 points on the #2 defense, you have to believe they could put up 30+ against the 31st ranked defense. I expect Ray Rice to have a big day against that putrid defense. Keeping the Broncos to 10 points doesnt cover up the holes in their run defense. Sorry

Brady cant score from the bench. Ravens need to play smash mouth football, and when Brady is on the field, get pressure on Tom. For he has shown several times, that when he is under pressure, he becomes Capt. Turnover and throws picks like its his job. See 2009 playoffs.

Ravens 35- Pats 17.

Brady terrible under pressure and will make mistakes when under stress. See 2009 playoffs.

Ravens 35- Pats 21.

Kubiak is waaaaaaay better than Cameron is. I'll take Kubiak from you right now. Except that Hail Mary call on 4th and 2. Could do without that one haha.

[b]Its also hard facing a team twice. We have faced the texans 3 times the last 2 years.[/b] They know us pretty well. And there total defense this year was #2 overall behind the Steelers. We did good vs them. Im confident our offense will definetly show up vs the 31st ranked defense next week. Its our time Flock. I can feel it.
[/quote]

Yeah I know .I guess it's going to be tough next year, because both of won our divisions so we play each other next season. I think that one might get a primetime slot. Anyway, good luck. I'll be rooting for yall to beat the Pats and to go all the way. That way we can say we gave the SB champs a run for their money.

[kokodog1]

goooooooooo ravens! beat pats!! your rougher, your tougher! the pats will be caught off guard! at the end of next sunday, the ravens will stand tall, brady will fall!

[Raven07]

Pollard vs Tom Brady... i just realized that the guy to knocked Brady out for the year s few years ago.... Bernard Pollard (then a Chief) not sure if its the same pollard... or not

Patriots really don't frighten me at all. Joe has been playing top rated defenses all year which has been responsible for his drop off. If Cam Cameron has half a brain which is debatable seeing as he attended the Texans previous game and still couldn't gameplan properly after 2 weeks, then we should win.

Maybe that was the point, play bad but good enough to win so that we can be the under dogs again and shock everyone.

[baadbobby]

The Ravens secondary stepped up big time today; exactly what they need to do in NE.
The way to beat Brady is to keep him off the field, Ravens run game will have much more success against the Pats and this is also what is needed.

could be right but I'm betting the Pats will score at least 28 points at home...

[RavenousBG]

I don't know the score, don't know that the Ravens will win or lose this game. The offense's inability to get a rhythm scared me a bit but the Texans have a better defense than the Pats. But I do think that defense will play a role in this game.

Most people in today's world no longer believes that defense wins championships. I can see that the Patriots don't believe so. But I don't think the Patriots score a lot of points in this game. There will be a lot of FGs. So I will say I expect a 23-20 score. It's playoff football which is usually close when it gets past the wildcard level. Just understand that the Ravens aren't the Broncos.

[cursona pirate]

Did anyone see the highlights? It was only 30 seconds long... But of course Brady is on for like 45 minutes!!
Lol why isn't this pinned!

[KDPPatsfan]

First of all, congrats on your win against the texans. I've read what all of you ravens fans have said and now let me explain why this will be a much different game than what you all believe.

Reason 1:
Patriots have a high powered offense. I would love to see the ravens secondary cover welker, branch, Gronkowski, and Hernandez. Patriots also shut down Miller and Dumervill who are great pass rushers.

Reason 2:
The Patriots have a better O-line than the Texans. The Texans didnt allow a sack on Yates. Suggs has only 1 sack in 4 games.

Reason 3:
The Patriots stopped the #1 ranked rushing offense in the leaugue so I am confident we will stop Ray Rice, Ricky Williams.

Reason 4:
You are coming to OUR HOUSE and there wont be a repeat of the playoff game 2 years ago!!

Reason 5:
Patriots have the most takeaways in the league with +17, and we are ranked 31st in the league for giving up YARDS. Do you look at yards on the score board? Patriots are middle of the pack for giving up points.

Reason 6:
We have Chung and Spikes back. We held the Broncos to only 10 points, shut down their rush offense and a patriots pass rush is starting to emerge.

Reason 7:
Can the Ravens score more than 30 points?

FINALLY

Reason 8:
REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD.

Patriots will win 38-17

Great game guys. Good luck next week. Just beat those Patriots.
[/quote]

Well as much as I know our OC called a pretty lame game, I'm really hoping that it is your team's great defense that held us back. It is what keeps me hopeful for next week since the Pats D is so bad lol

I asked another of your fans if we might borrow your O line?

Great game. Your guys played their hearts out.

[JO_75]

Just like Brees, Rodgers is falling apart when facing a real defense. Let's hope our defense can do the same to Brady next Sunday. This is not the Broncos weak defense they will be playing. This a real defense who won't let Brady throw all day. We need to play championship football next week if we are to win. Let's hope more than Webb, Ray and Ed show up next week.

[1/28/01]

We drop a 30 burger on 'em and hold them to 21!

Their D is just about nonexistent! Get Ray going early and dont stop. 2009 all over again!

[ravensdfan]

Gotta love Suggs.

Made me look at today in a little bit different light with this quote:

"I always say there is a right way to do things, there is a wrong way to do things and there is just the Ravens' way of doing things. It wasn't pretty, but we're not really a pretty team. We got the W, and now it's on to the AFC Championship." - T-Sizzle
