Raven Vs. Giants Will Be Shown To The Majority.

[tweety]

What do we have to do in order to Win this game with the Nation watching?


If we can block those DEs will will shine on offense. I think we need a big day on the Rush between the tackles. Giants are number two on the pass and 7 on the Run. It will be the first Pass Defense Flacco has faced since the Colts. Pocket Presence will be key. Let's hope Cam Cameron is going to be heavily prepared.

If Washington, Rolle, Ivy, Reed, and Leonard can hold their ground against 16th in the pass. It will be #1 Run vs. #1 Run Defense. I think the Giants will give up on the Run quickly. We must shut Boss, Burress, and Toomer down. Jacobs is going no where.

[PuRock]

Without wearing the purple goggles. This is a tough game. It's in New York, Giants can put pressure on the QB. They are third in the league in sacks. We are in jeopardy of giving up our #2 defense status to them. We only allow 2 more yards a game than them.

It will be a true test, to see what the Baltimore Ravens really are. But I just can't see us winning this game. They are going to exploit our secondary. Plex, Boss, Toomer, Smith. They like to use large WR sets. We just have to hope that Manning has one of those bad days.

I may be a homer, LOL, but I refuse to go against my team and say we won't win the game.

Realistically, I think we have a really good chance to win the game...we have matured so much as a team, I really think we can win this game.

[Ravnet]

I don't understand why you guys care so much about what the mainstream media thinks of our team.

Back to the point, I think it'll either be a blowout by the Giants or a game we squeak by in.

Pass offense on stats seems like our downfall, but realistically it may be our pass D. Rolle and the Secondary looked good towards the end. I don't want us to count on 4 ints but more 3 and outs.

[Black&Purple]

Isn't the game Sunday @ 1? That isn't a national game is it? Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "We are the number one game next week." could you clarify that?

As for the Giants, it obviously will be a very tough game to play with their great defense, and their great offense. I think one of the biggest keys will be for us to run the ball well, and for us to shut the run down for them. As for your poll being multiple choice I chose win, lose, and good game.

[nevermore621]

To me this is a true test of the OL and DL's. If we win the game in the trenches and back it up solidly at the various positions in the supporting cast I think we win this game.

Hopefully we win the turnover battle, get an early lead and take the crowd out of the game.

[K-Dog]

Flex schedule.
it could change.

If the NFL has been paying attention this could be a HOT pick for the 8:30 slot.

As far as the Ravens go. Patch the holes in our secondary and we will have a good chance.

The OP means our game is the headline game of the early games in the CBS doubleheader.

That means roughly 65-70% of the country will get our game, other than the home markets of other teams playing in early games.

I'm actually just happy I finally get the see the game because I'm off at college in VA. The more we win the more I see. The more we win the better chance we get at the playoffs.

They don't have the same Offensive weapons of the Colts, you think a blow out is possible? I have seen a few Giants games and they defense seems to be there biggest strength.

[Lets_Go_Joe]

Woo I will be able to see this upocoming game. I think this will be a very tight game, maybe like a 24-17 or 24-21, not sure who wins though. I think the Ravens can win, they just have to have a wail of a day in the secondary. Hopefully we will look good on the big stage

[mjccia]

Its going to come down to turnovers. the team with the + differential wins. I love the future ravens offense but its still young and prime for game costing mistakes. Dance with the one that brought you. Run the ball and run it some more. Unless we are down by 14, Cam needs to chill. They are not the raiders or texans field position is worth a whole lot more then the chance at a 50 yd TD. Its going to be close and but in the end the ravens wins 24-21 a Reed pick on a flustered Eli Ray-Ray and Suggs try to show us who is worth more money.

[tweety]

Flacco hasn't turned over the ball in 111 attempts. While Giants have no one strong in the secondary the DEs can cause the mistakes. Maybe Heap should become primarily a pass blocker this game. Screen is a great way to get outside the DEs and forcing there secondary to make the stop. I'm interested in what creative ways we are going to put points on the board.

Our secondary has had a one game scrimmage to see how to work together. The starters today will be the defensive starters tomorrow and most likely for the remainder of the season. Secondary needs to continue to built they chemistry. I think it will be a big test to both our D and O, test we have the capability to pass.

[Whitty Hutton]

2 wins out of 3 on the road will be something to be proud of...

[Jesse Conroy]

I am scared of this game, hopefully the giants lose tonight, and that way their spirit can be down, and our momentum from 4 straight wins will carry on.

i hope this becomes a 8:30 game so i will have a chance to watch it

[POE]

I think if we just play football the way we have been it should be a good game. We can't give up the big plays and force Manning to win it because I don't think he can. He has some good WR's and a good O-line but I think our D will be too aggressive for their liking, this worries me a bit because sometimes it's too aggressive for example the Colts game, but if we can get to the cornerback and take away the underneath routes I think we have as good of a chance as anybody.

If they lose tonight they'll want next weeks win even more with the Skins breathing down there neck.

Won't happen flex games have to be announced 12 days in advance for NBC. They've already pick the game. Cowboys vs. Redskins. Our game will not be a 8:30 game.

[RedFire]

it's like how i'm in south carolina right now and i always see the steelers at 4pm. but when we had mcnair and steelers struggled that yr. you could get the final four games down here at da CBS 4pm national tv spot that the steelers usually have.

I dont know how you can think this is a sure win....for those of you that voted....not saying tweety voted for a win. But I think that we might be in for a lot more then we can handle...I always see our oline

getting destroyed on the stuns by the defense, where you have a man lined up on your guard/tackle and you run him to the other side of the field hoping that he linemen will follow leaving a big gap for the

LB to come in and sack the QB. I saw it work during the Texans game and the Giants do that alot! The key is locking down Burress, Boss is a bit overrated. I definitely think Cam Cameron should do a TON of

trick plays on the G-Men b/c they are an aggressive defense. The main key is to establish a running game and then throw SHORT passes so the rush doesnt kill Flacco and then that should open up some

deep passes. Not only will this be a test for the offense but it will for the defense because of some of the new talent we have at the starting positions. Look for this to be close but result in a loss in which

everyone will think the Ravens suck . I AM NOT SAYING I THINK THE RAVENS SUCK just for those who dont read that closely.

[neepo13]

I honestly dont expect us to win this game. I'd just like to see us go out and make a game out of it.

[Moderator 2]

I just don't want to be embarrassed or injured.

[tweety]

Watching the Giants play right now, turnovers have been a big factor. Giants runs seemed to be the largest part of their Offense we can stop that. And as expected there outside pressure is they strength on defense. They secondary is great but the pressure they set up put them in the top spot.

The Eagles have used some trick plays and it has pretty much given the Eagles both their TDs. Hopefully this game will humble they Giants Defense before they play us. To beat this team who has only lost one will be a great victory.

I'm excited to see as this is one of four games I know I will be able to watch this season (Cowboys in a thursday night).

Nah... lol

[tweety]

It looks like the eagles have unveiled Brandon Jacobs fumbling problems. We have to exploit this before their staff fixes it. And they move the ball with majority runs.

[theFRANCHISE]

Watching the Giants/Eagles game right now, I'm starting to think next week's game is VERY winnable if the Ravens commit no turnovers and control the clock as they have in the past couple of games.

One of the big keys will be Baltimore's ability to run. Taking away Donovan McNabb's two runs for 28 yards thus far, the Eagles have only managed under 70 rushing yards combined. If the Ravens can run the ball better than Philly, then that dials into ball control and time of possession.

Another big key will be pressuring Eli Manning. Assuming the Giants' ground attack is contained (which will be a difficult task unto itself), Manning can be pressured into making mistakes. Though he throws the ball on the run better than a lot of his peers, he has also thrown a couple of near-INTs and one pressure INT tonight.

The Eagles' crucial flaw in tonight's game (regardless of the outcome -- it's at the two-minute warning right now) has been their inability to run the ball. They couldn't run to set up the pass, and that forced the game onto McNabb's shoulders. The Ravens can't force the game onto Flacco's shoulders, regardless of how well he's played the past couple of weeks.

Run to set up the pass, and everything will play out on offense as it should.

[itscbm5042]

Yeah the Eagles had no run game because they have a finesse little RB in Westbrook. And the announcers kept talking about "earth, wind, and fire" well I would take McGahee, McClain, Rice over Jacobs, Brooks, Bradshaw any day. If we can run the ball on them then we'll be just fine. Its a great defensive matchup and a great offensive matchup. Should be a very exciting game to watch.

[aj3380]

The redskins vs Cowboys is the main game next Sunday at 8:30. They mentioned it at least 10 times during the giant vs eagles game.They let everyone know if the game will be flex 12 days before the game. But they usually flex games that have an impact on the standings. The ravens vs Giants game has no drama, if the giants lose nothing happens to them in the standings because its an AFC team.
