That was pretty much the last game I watched at a bar (due to some stupidness afterwards), but I remember going crazy when they rattled off the back to back gallops! Insane!

We went to the bar with a couple that are Cowboys fans. It was fun.

The Cowboys coming off a bye concerns me, but this is Tony Romo we're talking about. I like our chances at home.

I hear they're bringing in Pee Wee Herman to shore up the blind side.

Romo is better than the QB we faced today so that concerns me. Not really! I just hope the offensive game plan shows up in Dallas for the game.

Cowboys gonna be tough.

We still havent played our best game. It will come. This game aside from Houston & Steelers game, is the most anticipated game for me personally.

I want to see us blow the Cowgirls out. Some of the player might not have recovered from that SB run of last year. But that magic will come back. Some have came back stronger than ever (Ed Reed). Lets make a statement! Blow these cowgirls O-U-T!

We just need to find a way to turn things around in some poor performance areas, but like others have said, "at least we have been getting the wins" so at least we don't have to dig out of a hole. The game that actually scares me is the Texans two weeks from now.
[/quote]

I agree with the previous poster. A win next week against the Cowbows at home will make a possible loss the following week against Texans in Houston bearable. A loss against the Cowboys puts a lot of pressure on the Texans game. I would consider 5-2 going into the bye week a success...but 6-1 would be a lot better.

I'd hardly call Dez Bryant a stud. The B word is already being thrown around him.
[/quote]

Not sure why he recieved a neg for this comment. I was watching the game last week when after his six or so drop the announcers were calling him a possible bust.

Ravens haven't lost to Dallas before have we? We are undefeated against Dallas right?

At the end of the year, a wins a win. We won't give a crap about this game. We looked ugly, but sometimes things happen. We're 4-1. We're doing great so far this year. Our defense looks horrible but our offense looks great. (Excluding the game today, a lot of drops). I'm ready to move on from KC already. It wasn't an easy win, but it was a win. And KC played hard today. All will be good soon. We're to talented to play like that again.
[/quote]

Exactly. This is a game we should've lost but didn't. I'll take a ugly win over a pretty loss. This is a game we probably lose last year. At the end of the season this could be the game that got us homefield. Thank you defense for showing up when we needed you this week and Flacco for the first down run.

[sflegend89]

Expect a big game out of Q he's way less vulnerable to press coverage then torrey, he actually strives in press at times. Not a single sack today.. front 7 needs to step up and at least put pressure on Romo. Sizzle will be back soon enough.. I think we hold it down at home and win another close game. 20-17 Ravens. Anyone know what the longest home winning streak in NFL history is?

Nope chuck testa, I mean....... Wrong Texas team. It's Houston (sorry, didn't know what it meant earlier). We have never beaten the texans and I hope it continues. The first thing we need to do is shut down Austin, and play better run d. Then let the o go to work

I was pretty sure Ravens have never lost to a Texas team and are undefeated against both Dallas and Houston.

I watched the last game at Texas Stadium with my best friend who is a Cowboys fan. We argued a lot and he was pretty steamed after both runs, but he handled it with class. Up until Ed Reed mimed like he was pushing down the plunger on a box of TNT and yelled, 'Boom!!,' making out that they were blowing up the stadium and then Ray Lewis said, 'Turn the lights off!,' and my friend exploded out of his seat and said some unsavory things about the Ravens. Wouldn't talk to me for a couple days after that about the game . To this day if I just make the plunger motion he threatens me. Never forget!

Oh my God, this is fantastic. This is the kind of stuff I rant about to myself in the house after the Ravens lose

[PerpetuallyBored74]

If the Cowboys use zone coverage then we will crush them; Flacco and the recievers will have a huge game.

But if they go man to man press on us, then our recievers will struggle to get off the line and get open downfield before Ware & co.can get to Flacco. Especially if Cam is stupid enough to call a lot of deeper pass plays with slow-developing routes.

But if the Ravens are smart enough to use mostly shorter passes with quicker routes balanced nicely with our running game, then since it's a home game, even if the Cowboys use the press, we should still win--although the score will be closer.

Usually any team coming off the bye is tough. But I am not worried about that aspect with the Cowboys traveling on the road.

I am soooo glad this game is at home. If it were in Dallas, it could be embarrassing.
[/quote]

Dallas are about .500 team at Home since the new stadium opened... They have just been better on the Road over the last 2 seasons , similar to the Giants.

We are very strong at home so I'm not worried about the cowboys. Cowboys are one of those teams that gain lots of yards but fail to put points on the board.

* Remember we Shut Down Texas Stadium for them lol

[jdynamite]

The Cowboys haven't ran the ball enough to develop a run game over last few games, but I guess after last night they might attempt to run more on us, but I'm confident the defense we saw in the 2nd Half stuffing KC Run will show up, stop Murray and company.
Tony Romo will give Ed Reed at least 1 int, with a forced pass down field.

[jdynamite]

Ware is always a handful, I think if we can establish a Ray Rice early get a few runs, get the offensive line used to pushing them off the ball.. Then slip in a screen or two. Or line up Pitta or Dickson over Ware to chip him on release, give Flacco a little more time.

Just our luck to get another team that is coming off a bad loss.

We were in this situation like 3 times in a row. Brady trying to avoid being under .500, the Browns fighting for their first W and now KC struggling to sort out their problems on the offense. They all were unfortunate to run into the Ravens. The team that sort of wins.
Yeah, we really have nothing to brag about, but we just win. We could have have been undefeated right now. Flacco always manages to pull a victory out of his you-know-what. Has a bad first quarter again NE and then manages to outplay Brady for the next three. Throws a bad INT against the Browns and then puts two drives together, that end in TDs. Has a bad game against KC and then manages to rush for a crucial first down. Heck, he threw a gamewinning TD against Philly after he struggled horribly in the second half.
He is a winner. [u][b]Sort of.[/b][/u]

[FerrariFan87]

Can someone let me know who's going to block DeMarcus Ware? I'm terrified of the Oher-Ware matchup and especially KO-Ware... not good!

[Purple Crush]

I really don't see their "man" corners staying step for step with our speedsters outside.

One of the reasons why they haven't had success on the ground (and gave up on it at times) is that they've faced the #2, #3, #4 ranked run defenses (BRUTAL). They also faced the #16 ranked rush defense,the Giants, which they had success against.

Considering we were abysmal against the run yesterday and are currently ranked #20th, I expect we'll be seeing a healthy dose of Murray this game. IMO, we can go either way defending against Murray. If we make the first tackle we'll be fine.
