Wasn't me that started it! I was once reprimanded for not using a pool, though.

Who started it? Was it Nurps?

[Ravensfan23]

TThe last 2 minutes of each half will be curcial, i hope Harbs plays it aggressively. I think Peyton will toss at least 1int, but it will still come down to who has the ball last. I don't think Peyton will torch the defense too bad, they'll get plenty yards, but the defense will force just enough FGAs.

I actually think the offense will have a renewed approach and have a huge day against a strong defense. If the Ravens don't turn the ball over, i think they win.

Our hopes come down to hoping the Cowboys do in Pitt, then we'll have to deal with Cincy head to head.

Pretty sure we will already know come week 17. We could lose out and Pitt and Cincy would both have to win 2 and then tie there head to head week 16 game for us to miss the playoffs. This will all be known by the time we play Cincy. Someone paying more attention to all of this and not home alone with 2 kids under 2 and 1/2 while the the wife is in NYC please confirm if my thinking is accurate.

[FerrariFan87]

The Ravens have no business winning this game given what's gone on the past two weeks, our ten million injuries, and Manning's history against us. That's why I think we squeak out a win at the Bank.

[ReigningPurple]

Wow, a whole range of emotions leading up to this game. I, for one, dont have a whole lot of confidence coming into this game. We gave up our home record and Manning has won the last 8 we played. Demarius Thomas is a BEAST and their D Line isn't exactly a joke. I know in my heart we are capable of coming out on top this week........but it's gonna take better work by Oher (no penalties, not getting blown off the line) as well as more accuracy on the deep ball by Flacco, and plenty of feeds to Ray Rice. Either way, I'm excited for this game and looking forward to seeing the changes Caldwell has put in. Just hoping against another letdown.

Gameday!

Really wish we could have that Philly game back!

Everything about this game says disaster to me. Peyton Manning against a bunch of 3rd stringers? Bye.

I think we can beat the Giants. God help us if the week 17 matchup is for the division.

I have to agree. All 3 of these games look like losses, I say we win one of them and squeak into the playoffs.
I'd love to be proven wrong, but if we can't stop a backup and a 37-year old 3rd string QB, may God help us against potential league MVP Peyton Manning. If it rains our chances will improve my a smudge.

even though peyton is, i don't think the rest of the broncos are prepared to face a slightly above-average team like the ravens. playing teams like oakland, kansas city and san diego twice a year can really soften you up.

Think he means altogether.

Mili, Berad (I think) started it a while back cause people were playing around trying to be "first in" to the game thread. Sorta like first into a pool... And the it just stuck. Now its generally a race to be first and slap up a pool pic. I still have the self-awarded best pic with a Ravens pool table. Had to mix it up

Sorry, buddy. My storm troopers in the pool with admiral Akbar saying "it's a trap" was far above and beyond your silly pool table.

Agreed.
On my way to the store for some purple kool-aid

[ratedr]

I love Faulk flat out saying these offensive issues are Cameron and Harbaugh's fault.

Also, fun stat from Kurt Warner: Flacco has thrown 73 big-play passes. Brady? 53. P. Manning? 49. Hopefully we'll see the short/intermediate game at work today.

[Tank 92]

For us to have a chance today our D needs to come up with at least 3 or 4 big stops. A tough assignment in Peyton, but the 12th Man gives them a boost!

I know our O line is hurting, but I think we find ways to put up points.

Go Ravens!

And Sizzle playing will definitely help!

Dear God. Please don't let Sizzle hurt himself further.

Don't think he'd be playing if this were the case. Of course nothing is guaranteed especially with our recent run of bad fortune with injuries. But it's pretty well documented that some have played many games with this injury.

The newlywed has a HUGE game and ruins Peyton's day. I hope............

[/quote]So basically...Peyton is gonna score 50 and Flacco is gonna get sacked 12 times.

Cool.

[cursona pirate]

Yeah the game is on tv up here! We are missing Pollard today. Our defense is screwed!

[Latch]

ellerbe, pollard, yanda and mcclain are all out. pardon me while i curse the injury bug.

[Guest Moderator 6]

At least Jimmy Smith is back.

[Purple Nurple]

Pollard and Yanda out. This could get ugly very early.

It's next next next man up this season. Fingers crossed. Lets go.

[FerrariFan87]

That Inactive list is no bueno

[jimmypowder]

The injuries are completely out of control . Yanda, Pollard, Ellerbe,McClain , who knows how much Suggs can play
Lewis can't make it back yet . Our linebacker group is decimated .

Rookie Omar Brown was moved to the active roster this week and he's active today for his first NFL game.[/font][/color]
[color=#333333][font='Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif]
Good for him, I wonder if he'll see the field at all though.[/font][/color]
