Not feeling all too confident in this game. To compete against Denver we HAVE to match them Offensively, particularly in the passing situation. I just don't see it happening.

We have Cam, that is never going to happen (I want to be optimistic..... But with this moron at the helm I cannot, I ate the age of 14 am more qualified to run an nfl offense) Cam needs to go! Wisenhurst, Turner, Jackson, hell Fly could run it instead and I would be happy. Our D haas to win it.

Peyton has always shredded the Ravens, and this defense isn't half of what some of the defenses of yesteryear have been. Considering how good that Broncos defense is compared to the Ravens offense, I just don't see it happening. If we win it'll be a shoot out, and even at home I don't see us being able to go toe-to-toe with Manning with the current state of the team being what it is.

Once we're out of the running for sure though, I'm pulling for Manning to get another ring. He's arguably the greatest of all time and deserves it, and now that Tebowmania is over I don't hate the Broncos.

Oher and Osemele are going to have nightmares this week... how are they going to block Miller and Dumervil? Yikes!!

[Florida Ravens Fan]

Well many of you said we wouldnt be able hang with RG3 and the skins, but we did and it was on the road. I beleive we can beat the ponys, but will.the team show up is the question. We have broken all the bad records this year so i also wouldn't be surprised if we lose 3 in a row.

This one is going to be tough, even though we are at home - the Redskins were one of the worst passing defenses in the league, whereas the Broncos are one of the best. It will be much, much harder to match Peyton Manning in a [u][b]shootout[/b] [/u]than it was to match the Redskins today.

you love this term as much as i love to post..."cat," 'brah or bruh" and definitely...."smh" LOL!

As a die hard Ravens, after the last two weeks of lacluster proformance I do not give the Ravens much of a chance of beating the Broncos. Our defence if thats what you want to call it is just horrible. Can't tackle no pass defence at all. I think we will loose 2 of the last 3 and barely make it into the Playoffs and loose in the first round. We should hire the little girl football player the is on utube to teach us how to tackle. Cam's Play calling is a shame, we need to find a better play caller then him.He has cost us some loses this season,

[CorvusCorax]

If there was a time to go on a hot streak, now is the time!

[Dfence4champs2052]

Our defense probably looks like a 8-course meal to Peyton and DeMariyus. Put a little[i] farva [/i]on it.....ssswwwwwwwwwwwwww

[i]Can[/i] this team go on a hot streak though? The offense is wildly inconsistent and the D is dealing with a ridiculous amount of injuries.

remember joe has never won more than four in a row... that would stop us after wilcard game... i'd say win next two, give cinci the win to get pitts out of playoffs... then win the four in the row... wildcard, divisional, championship, sb.

[Dfence4champs2052]

As much as I am a Ray Lewis worshipper, he won't be able to completely affect the game. He's not in game shape and even when he is, he still can't make [i]these[/i] guys around him any better. They are definitely stop-gap players.

[Ed_Reed20]

Can't wait to see the changes Caldwell makes. Maybe we'll finally see screen passes to Rice and Torrey in the same game.

[nextgen_RavensFan]

I hope w ejust get back to basics and keep it simple and steady. Ball control which limits the time joe handles the ball. Make things as easy as possible for him till the season plays out it's course and then i guess try to go back to the no huddle next season. We need to keep the oppositions offense off of the field as our D can stop no one right now. It also keeps joe from taking a pounding while we try to fix the issues at LT in the off season. A rattled Joe is a scary Joe. Only throw when it is third and long or when you get the match ups you want and try not to consider the Bomb a routine play.. LOL

[nextgen_RavensFan]

I am a HUGE Ray Lewis fan but would rather see Ellerbe come back. Even though Ray is the general he just is not better then Ellerbe at this point. With the news of the day we may be a surprise as no one really knows what Caldwell will do with this offense which is a very good thing.

[UMDan]

Denver has to be one of the most balanced teams in the league...

OFFENSE: 3rd in points, 4th in yards, 6th in pass yards, 20th in rush yards
DEFENSE: 5th in points allowed, 4th in yards allowed, 7th in pass yards allowed, 6th in rush yards allowed

So the way to attack them is not clear. I hope the coaches do their homework. I do honestly think we can beat anyone, if the game plan is right.

[Xelfer]

If Ray L is healthy, he WILL play, but our record against P Manning is WEAK! Period! However, he will be facing our D at thier BEST, R. Lewis & Sugg's WILL be there . . . game changers for P Manning, add REED & . . . . EVERYONE else, fighting for our lives . . . I'd be scared to be him . . just saying

Won't matter. Peyton will carve our [profanity deleted] up.

Today's game was the only one of the remaining 4 I had us winning. An epic 5 game collapse is on the horizon.
[/quote]

Oh ye of NO FAITH in the TEAM I believe in, I suggest you forget even wearing Purple Pride EVER again! The Giants won last year . . . what was thier expected future at this point then? Odd's we're they would not EVEN be in the play off's, let alone the Superbowl . . and WIN it! So, please hush, let the Ravens FLY without your doubt & FAN like a Raven & aspire them to come together.

I'm with you, Game Plan MUST be right & tight. Seriously, I'd shove some Rice down thier throat . . . I don't see ANY game they actually STOPPED a runner . . . a team THAT had one. Stat's for them against the run, BULL!! Let R. Rice run . .

ur dead on it 'man'. if we end up 9-7, wouldnt shock me. we only beat peyton 1 time (out of 8), his rookie year, and barely did. reed usually gets him once, wont be enuf, he'll shred our mediocre dbs all day and basically clinch that 2 seed. i wont even get into champ eating up flacco, or von miller, we lose.

they way to attack peyton is exotic blitz packages and stunts and schemes. ooops, we can't do that. where's marvin lewis? rex? ray? webb? sizzle? siragusa? harris? boulware? thomas? starks? mcalister? woodson? sharper? adams?

Lewis, just for old times sake....sack the hell out of Peyton one last time.

Have Torrey go over the middle, LBs cannot cover him, and he can outrun most DB's Baily is gonna have a long day!

Just do not break his neck, I cannot take these backup QB's anymore lol!

[frozen joe flacco fan]

Correction, bro! The Giants game will be played in our house at 4:25 PM. You said it will be played in Peyton's little bro's house. Beating the Mannings will be a monumental task but I think we will win one of them. If I were a betting man, I'd bet on winning the Giants game. Anyway, if we can't beat these teams down the stretch , then we certainly won't be able to win a playoff game so bring on the Mannings! It sure would be nice to have the Bungles game be meaningless for us. I've given up on the first round bye.

After a second straight loss to a backup QB, Peyton Manning is laughing sitting on his couch thinking about what he will do to us next week. He knows he can come into our house and win, he knows he will be contending with a inconsistent offense, and he is just gitty as a school girl to man handle our defense.

We go to his little bro's house week 16, and the giants are an offensive machine as well. Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz will blow past our weak secondary, and Bradshaw is a scapper who can gut defenses.

Frankly I do not see us making it to the playoffs with more than 10 wins.

The Redskins game was god awful, how do we throw for 3 TDs in the first half then only score 1 TD in the second half? FEEBLE offense all around. The playcalling was terrible, Flacco didnt show up in the second half and our defense...well its pretty much the reason we lost. Why on earth is Cam calling run plays on 2nd&10 in fricken OT??? We have the first possession thats when you go after their weak secondary! Deangelo Hall looked like a high schooler yet Cam didnt take advantage of it when he should have.

Flacco looked like he needs to work on blitz recognition and quick release. Case and point- The interception, he wasnt ready for the blitz like a good QB should be and was to sketchy and late on the release it got tipped and picked.

I think we are in for a rude awakening the next 2 games. RG3 is nothing compared to Eli and Peyton.

After watching the Pats DRUB the Texans (karma baby) and seeing Peyton come into our house, we have alot of work to do. We really wasted those two opportunities to clinch the division. SMH.
