Divisional Playoff - Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos

[callahan09]

OK what kind of adjustments are made after the half? I dunno about our D, but I think their D starts giving help to Champ covering Torrey, resulting in more big plays far downfield to Boldin like we had last week!

I'll look for it...someone look for it....post it for me!!!! I am going to go do some dishes now that it's halftime and then I will go the Squirrel Dance in the kitchen!!

Its like its 0-0 again

[Florida Ravens Fan]

Lol i love Flaccos beanie .

[Ravensallday24/7]

Wow the QB position has come a long way since this Franchise started. Joe=Clutch.

[bioLarzen]

Guys, I say this was about as good a half for us as we could realistically hope for. No sign of another washout, the O being productive, the O-line holding up excellent - I mean where's Von Miller???

The only thing we badly need is pass rush. We had none of that in the first half

WE IN HERE!!!

I love how Gumble keeps mentioning Champ saying he could handle Torrey. You thought wrong old timer!

Its amazing what happens when there is ZERO pass rush. A 34 year old corner, looks like a 34 year old corner.

Not to be a downer, but I wouldnt count champ out yet. We're burning him so far, but dont get to arrogant. Pride comes before a fall.

Take the downer somewhere else! You know darn well Torrey has gotten deep in Champ's head by now.

[BmoreLuv]

Half away from the AFC Championship Game!!!!!

[redrum52]

Game is far from over. If they could get them to punt or a turnover I feel the offense would feed off that.

[cursona pirate]

We are still in this game. Flacco has been sharp!

Praeter has Cundiffed the kick.

[/quote]Yup Champ is a beast. IDK know if he has the speed to keep up with Smith, but he will make adjustments.

And what did we win for that? Can we ourselves world champs?
[/quote]
No but you can't win the super bowl if you don't make the playoffs

[Guest RBates]

Offense is Ballin out. Keep this up!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!! Defense get it together in the second. The refs helped them down the field. Now beat the refs and the Broncos. You spent all off season getting ready for this. We can do this. Lets go Ravens!!!!!!!!!

[Militant X 1]

21-21...halftime!

i must say that although it has looked choppy at times the Ravens are putting on a much better showing than they did a few weeks ago. THEY CAN WIN THIS GAME! now all they need to do is make their adjustments (i.e. get the running game going, get a more effective pass rush on peyton and then more takeaways on defense etc.) and then come out swing for 30 minutes. let's go Ravens! make us proud...silence the crowd and get the W!

So who said our Ravens didn't have a chance in this game???? Wish I could stand in front of all of those people now.
[/quote]

I'll admit I was one of them. There's still a whole second half to play, but if the Ravens can pull this one out, I'll be more than happy to eat dirt or wear a dunce hat or whatever.

[AsianRice]

Who said Torrey running wild and McKinney makes Miller or Elvis looking like little kids squirrel around daddy's foot????

Lets huntin'.....

[H8R]

Where are the Joe haters at?

[luvrayrice27]

okay im glad we were able to recover...but still there is much that needs to be fixed at the half

Yep

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Peeta's back.

Almost said it right that time.

[flaccopoe]

Damn, the TEs have half of the receptions!

[ratedr]

So instead of 28-14 we have 21-21, what a momentum shift.

And this means we can still run the ball in the 2nd half.

I'd rather smaller drive sustaining plays to eat up clock while scoring than quick strikes. If they do that it would be beneficial. I could see the TEs having a big game if they go that route.

[arnie_uk]

Pass rush needs to step up. Stop rushing three or four guys

[JO_75]

I don't know what's worst. NBC's constant mention of Ben's taped ankle or CBS's constant mention of Peyton's gloves.

[callahan09]

Damn, Flacco passer rating 133.3, Manning 98.3. Both have 8 passing first downs. Difference is the run game support. Manning has benefited from 5 rushing first downs, and the Ravens have gained none! Only 3.0 yards per carry for the Ravens. Damn. I love seeing Flacco play well in this hostile environment with NO run game support, but we need to get the run game going in the second half!

Agreed. If the Broncos roll coverage Torrey way, so be it. Q, Pitta and even Dickson have getting separation and/or making tough catches so far. Joe seems to be sharp for the most part as well. The key is continuing to protect him.
