Ellerbe might not play. He re-aggitated his injury...

If Pierce and Rice run the ball effectively, and let Flacco throw off the play action, the Ravens have a great chance to win.

However, if the run game is in effective, and it turns to an aerial duel between Flacco and Manning, I believe we are screwed. Its just hard to out throw Manning.

Establish the run early, set up the play action with intermediate routes, take the occasional shot down the field to Torrey on play action plays. Ontop of that, play good defense like we did the last time and honestly there is no one in the league that can beat us.

If we hadn't had the joe flacco pick 6 right before half at their 2 yard line, it would have been 10-7 with us receiving the second half kickoff...instead it was a crushing 17-0 lead. If we don't make those mistakes on sunday, with all of our guys back, were gonna beat the supposed "best team in football". Go Ravens!!!

[RavenAsh87]

Looking back, it's hard to believe how much has changed in such a short time. I hope the weather is cold and snowy! That definitely favors us. Go Ravens!

[ellicottraven]

Play like we played against the Giants and we win hands down. If we choose to play like we played them last time, we will most certainly lose. It just depends on how badly we want it and how Joe Flacco decides to play and how the O-line protects him. If all these things fall in place we will be near impossible to beat....

People don't realize Peyton always played this time of the year in a dome so playing in Denver in January will be just as much of a challenge for him as it will be for us and judging how well we played in foxboro this time last year I feel we have the upper hand when it comes to environment

We need to show the entire sports world we are a force, that no one believes we are.

[Joe Flacco is #1]

Love moving Joe out of the pocket :D good job C!

[CxM_27]

Cary and Ed were picked apart last game... If they can clean that up and the rest of the team performs to their ability we CAN beat this so called "best team"

People don't realize that? So only YOU knew that Indianapolis plays in a dome...thanks for the info...

[iluvpurple]

No turnovers by us......that will be the big difference in the game.

[TheCityThatReeds20]

o-line protects flacco...and the rest of the offense protects the ball...we will win. Obviously easier said then done but this just shows it is possible. I think torrey smith will go off in the altitude with Joe's arm.

[sujaybobba]

I think it will be tough for Ravens to beat Manning and Broncos, but we are looking more motivated and different then what we played them the last time. It will all depend on Flacco. Hope he elevates to the elite group with this game.

[Mystigo_Dragon]

Thank you for reminding the "Bernard Pierce Bandwagon" that our running attack is two-headed and while it's great that #30 and even #44 are getting more reps we serve Rice as the main course!

[/quote]Where did this information come from? I haven't heard that he might not play.

[Bjonesy45]

If we run the ball effectively and use play action, time should be on our side. Falcons werent bringing much pressure just beating them in the secondary. Remember those blitz packages against the colts, peyton doesnt have as strong of an arm and isnt as fast as andrew luck so hopefully we can rattle him early on in the colder weather. They do have a better offensive line though so id like to see what approach they bring

[Bjonesy45]

Oh and if torrey can get a good amount of separation, and joe airs it out even with the high altitude, id like to see that. Thatd be great

[Bjonesy45]

Joe should be ale to unleash some more bombs

[Zeus]

Cary Williams please play well, Manning will be picking on u all game

[PolishRifle]

It's nice to see Flacco moving in the pocket a bit. His athleticism is really underrated, just because movement of tall guys like him tends to look a bit awkward. But it certainly made our OLines efforts look better. XD

[jrs034]

It's hard to believe but the ravens have gotten better since the loss this article just proves it I think the broncos got another thing coming saturday

[BmoreB]

The 5 changes mentioned in this article are pretty substantial. I'll throw in one other:

Flacco seems to be playing with more of a purpose and simply more decisive. He's going to look back on the first Denver game and play lights out to amend. I truly believe that.

[kkdesign47]

The team that lost to the Broncos three weeks ago is a much different team than the one that will show up this Saturday. I love how everyone is underestimating the Ravens because it'll make the win that much sweeter.

Its funny - people were saying the same thing last years about Joe and Tom Brady - we lost but, Joe out played Brady

[ravensdog86]

One Thing Getting on My Last Nerve.....

People Keep Calling for Pierce to Take Rice's Job, or for Ravens to put out Fliers for Possible Trades for Rice within Next couple years.. when calling in to THE FAN, and crap...

Why in the world would we get rid of a Top 5 RB in the NFL, in Rice
Just because Pierce has looked good over a 120 carry stretch,

Fact is most teams have 2 RB'S, just look at the Saints with Ingram, P.Thomas, D.Sproles, C.Ivory they have 4 play makers out of the back field..

We have 2 game breakers, no reason to get rid of 1... Use both of them in multiple ways
Not Trade

To me.... the broncos seem soft... I'm sorry but they don't wanna go toe to toe, man to man with us
