AFC Championship Game: Baltimore @ New England

[phaytal]

As a life long Bronco fan I'd like to come here and give props for an amazing performace tonight. I think we underestimated your O, and Flacco was spectaclar.

Congrats, and bring one home for Lewis!

Man watching the speed on offense from the Packer/49ers is scary. I feel like I am watching a different sport all together compared to the Broncos/Ravens game.

Losing to NE in the AFCCG (again) would be so, so heartbreaking.

For this reason alone, I would have to go with the Texans.

[MsMarvel73]

I don't want us to play the Texans again...specially in Reliant Stadium.

From a storybook perspective, I would rather see the Ravens and Flacco beating the Pack. Flacco beating Luck, Manning, Brady, and Rodgers? That'd be insane. lol.

It would be..... Screw Rothtard, that puts Flacco into top 5 QB status

Yea. I think I prefer the outdoors in the playoffs. The Texans are a tough team on the fast turf at Reliant. Plus they have the better D (its getting healthier again). NE plays a similar style like the Broncos. Short quick passes, running down the middle. Would prefer to play NE since we just played a similar offense. We also line up pretty well with TEs.

I want NE. NE!!!!

[flaccopoe]

Would love to see the Ravens' D humiliate Brady again! If JAC could pick him off twice...

[PuRock]

The thing that scares me about NE's D is the Wilfork vs. Birk matchup. Can't be running it down the middle.

[i]If [/i]the Patriots win, tomorrow, I WILL be at Gillette Stadium, next Sunday.

[cnyravens]

[i]Doesn't matter . Just as soon play the Texans so we can be spared all the BS with Brady crying like a little girl all game to the Refs and them kissing his butt .[/i]

[i]Oh...and I'm sick of that loudmouth Puke Eric Decker!!!![/i]
[i]Was hoping someone would literay decapitate him!![/i]

As a Texans fan, we definitely don't think it'd be an easy win if we played you next weekend, we would just be insanely thrilled to host a 2nd home playoff game for probably the first time ever in Houston. But that opportunity doesn't seem like it will happen unless Schaub plays like Flacco did today.

You will live and die by Schaubs play tomorrow. He has been very lackluster of late. Start him off with some short to intermediate confidence boosting routes and hand it to AF over and over!

Yep. Texans can beat the Patriots. They just can't fall behind and play into the Pats hands. Texans are pretty complete they just need to execute on the road.

GB defense are atrocious, playing zone all day.....couldn't get any pressure on the rookie QB..

Turnovers like crazy from both side of the ball but GB top the turnovers.....

In playoff, anything can happen....like today happening for us.....

If you think about it. The only team left with a suspect defense is the Patriots.

Now that Post is awesome. 3rd and 13 and Pi88a does it again. He's like the American Express, he's everywhere when you need him.

Me personally NE.. Revenge still ensues

It will be revenge either way. Expect a pack of Texans fans coming over to tout the greatness of [i]their[/i] team if its them.

I agree! Wouldent mind San Fran either. Don't want Falcons or Seahawks.
[/quote]Last time I checked Seattle won't be playing on their home turf come Festivus Maximus time. I think their homefield edge is what makes them so dangerous.

Btw does anyone remember right after we lost to houston how everyone just wrote us off including a significant part of this fanbase?
[/quote]I do. I must admit that I was embarrassed for those people.

Meh. The Ravens just beat Peyton Manning on his home turf, something I thought I'd NEVER see (beating Peyton period, that is). They've also got a couple of W's vs Brady. And they destroyed last year's SB champs a few weeks ago.

So I'm not really worried about Matt Schaub and the overrated Texans at this point. JJ Watt is a beast, and Johnathan Joseph has always been a pain for Flacco, but the game vs the Giants and Broncos has shown that this is a much, much, much better Ravens team, particularly on D, than the one the Texans ran roughshot over in Week 7.

[CorvusCorax]

It doesn't matter who we face, we will play inspired football.

[Raving_Heathen]

I just realized... if the Texans somehow beat the Pats tomorrow, the QBs left in the playoffs will be:

Flacco, Schaub, Kaepernick, and Wilson/Ryan... That's so weird. lol.
