I couldn't sleep last night either. All I kept seeing was Jacoby catch that bomb

I'd actually rather the Ravens play in Houston but against the Patriots.

Hey, I'm even going to be in attendance next Sunday if the Ravens do indeed (barring a crazy turn around by the Texans) play the Pats. But I just think Houston is less hostile. I do believe though that the Ravens can't let the Pats do to them what they're doing to the Texans. Keep the game close, within a score, and you have a chance to win the game.

Any announcement on when the game will be?

Sunday at 6:30; regardless of who wins this game.

I think that it will be revenge in New England. They are up 31 to 13 in the 4th. Let's stop Wilfork, hold on to all passes in the end zone, and make every kick this time. We will meet the Falcons in the battle of black birds in N'Orleans.

Doesn't matter who it is. Houston or New England. Heck, we can battle who ever doesn't make it to us in the parking lot. I don't think we will be denied.

9ers are gonna role the FAILcons.

[Hjulmann]

We did it once this year, why not again? No Billy Shankdiff or Lee Evans this year either. I think we can take em

[luvrayrice27]

not that i want to play the pats (i kinda think we would have had a better chance to beat texans) but it looks like thats going to be the matchup for next week, unfortunately.

Have faith. I think next week's game will be A LOT closer than the Patriots game is playing out this week. Even if we would lose, I think it'll be close. Fight to the end, and whatever happens, happens.

[CapoRocky]

Correction 38 to 13. We can run on the Patsies and we surely can pass deep on them. I like our chances.

Let them hate. Please let them AAAAAAAALL hate. This Ravens Team has always been much, much more successful when they've been hated or underestimated. Not sure what it is, but even during their SB run, they were prohibitive underdogs in every playoff game, except maybe that first Broncos game.

And in 2007 against that vaunted Pats offense? Ravens were awful that year but almost pulled out a W... with KYLE BOLLER as our QB.

On the other hand, any time the Ravens have been favorites, they've fallen short. In 2006 vs the Colts in the playoffs is a prime example. Also anytime the media has pronounced the Ravens as "the best team" or "the most complete team" the past 2 years, they lose shortly thereafter.

Underdog Ravens == the best Ravens

I would love to invite people if I were able to! My husband and I are being invited ourselves.

well.....lets go get our revenge on the Pats.

[The Raven]

Looking like we have a AFCCG rematch next week.

[bdravens]

looks like we're off to foxborough. the way their ST look if say Jacoby could be due for a couple big returns.

D is starting to show up now, too. Keeping P. Manning under 300 is hard enough in itself. I like our chances too, man. Plus I'm REAAAAALLY thirsty for a conference final revenge.

[Milehigh18]

Broncos fan here. Just go into NE and beat the living [profanity deleted] out of these guys.

[Yatagarasu]

New England looks unstoppable out there.

This Championship is going to all out firework show.

Brady will and is going to score on our defense, we just have to slow him down.

[PuRock]

I liked our chances more against Denver than NE. Its going to be tough. Winnable. But our offense can't stall much. Its going to probably be a shoot out. We all know Joe can do it.

Yep, 18 point lead with 11+ left. Extended forecast for Sunday has a high of 35 so it will probably be in the 20s for most of the game. The Ravens will feel like they are playing in Palm Springs!

Pats are looking scary good right now! However, I still have faith that we will do alright and make it to the SB!

[Gordo52]

Well, this is it! Ravens vs Patriots, chapter 3.

Let's close the book on these fools.

...get ready for the NE fans, ughhh!
