What non-divisional games are you looking forward to the most?

[JEEPercreepermd]

Which non divisional games this year do you have circled on your schedule?

Here are mine

Week 1 @ Denver- Denver is a good team, The Ravens will be out to show that last years playoff win was no fluke. The biggest fluke in that game wasn't the Jones td. It was their two ST td's that were the only reason we didn't win that game handily.

Week 14.vs Minnesota- We'll get to see what this new look defense can do against AP.

Week 16 vs. NE- How can this NOT be on a list? It's Brady, It's Belicheck..at M&T.. We are in their heads and they know it.

Packers

[CARavensFan]

Broncos - For obvious reasons.

 

Packers - Could be a potential fireworks show.

 

Patriots - Games are always good.

[berad]

@ Bears - because I may have an opportunity to go there :lol:

[PolishRifle]

@Denver - The Ravens are a very good team on paper, but that doesn't mean that they will be a good team on the field. After the game against the Broncos (another great team and possible SB contender) we will know how good this new Ravens team really is.

[TDubbs]

Buffalo Bills! Simply for the fact that it's a September game (Thankfully) and it's just across the border for me! Other then that, the New England game at the end of the season could have major playoff implications, obviously. 

[Ravensfan23]

Packers easily. I have ARod and Flacco as my top 2 QBs coming out of this season and to see these guy go at it will be huge. They won't pub it like this, but we are gonna witness the future of the QB position in this game. Arod will be 30 this year, Flacco is 28, these guy have a lot of football ahead and while ARod seems to be right in his prime, Flacco is definitely heading into his. It won't match Manning vs Brady because they won't have the opportunity to play each other as often. But they are the next to QBs to establish their own class imo.

 

Even though it's gonna be a 1pm game, it's gonna be a game worthy of prime time and might just end up being a Super Bowl preview.

Denver.
No question.
Hit the ground running on this one.
I expect a near copy of the playoff game.

[gabefergy]

Denver easily. Gotta shut up the talking heads... again.

[ghost1986]

Bears after their draft blunder even though we still got Jimmy and Packers cause they've been my bro's favorite team since we were kids.

[5aiah]

The Packers because they present the biggest threat passing wise of any team that are frontrunners for a SB run coming out of the NFC. They have also added arguably the two best RBs from the draft, both whom have very different games and are quite experienced, giving Arod something he has never had in his career. Also can our offensive line hold up against Clay Matthews and company? Can our CBs stand on their own two feet against a highly talented receiving corps? Can Pees out play call the packer offensive gurus? Lastly can our safeties truly do battle with the QB of the generation? Exciting stuff man that is boosted for me because I was a Packers(Favre) fan before Ravens existed.

[devilbloose]

All of them but the Jets, Phins and Bills. But I'd have to put the Packers game on the top of the list. As much as Arod got sacked last year, I'm looking forward to Suggs and Dumerville lighting him up!!!

[Gordo52]

1. Packers - get to watch my two favorite QB's in what should be a classic.
2. Broncos - so many different story lines. And of course, week 1!!!!
3. Patriots - nothing needs to be said.
4. Texans. I want revenge.....I also want Ed to suffer that week. I'm talking bout three 70 yard bombs to Torrey Smith. Gut feeling Reed picks Flacco off though (if he plays).

Edit : forgot NON-DIVISIONAL games. I had Steelers on turkey day @ 4.

[GrimCoconut]

1. Broncos: Dumervil, revenge pt 2, opening season game.
2. Packers: Flacco vs Rodgers, revenge.
3. Texans: don't like this team, Flacco vs Reed, revenge.
4. Vikings: DL vs Peterson, revenge.
5. Dolphins: coming for you Ellerbe.

But sometimes those are the best games.  Its always fun to beat up on the putrid.  Did you not have fun while we took the Raiders out to the shed last year?

 

I look forward to the relaxing games.  The ones where there is ZERO stress involved.  Where I don't have to pace my living room.

[beanfigger]

The Bills game is on my birthday, and I'm trying to talk to the wife about giving me a trip up there for that game as my gift.  If that happens, that's one of my favorites.  However, nothing is better than Ravens-Patriots as far as non-divisional rivalries nowadays.

Don't sleep on the night game we have to play against the Lions in Detroit either.... that is a sleeper upset waiting to happen...

[SuRihtanil]

Jets because I enjoy watching the Ravens defense smash them up.   I have disliked the Jets since Rex left and all that funk was in the air and Jets fans thought their defense and team was better than ours...

 

Also Denver and I hope we beat em and Dumervil gets a sack.

[scrock]

Broncos, Texans, Packers, Miami, New York, Detroit, Patriots

[easternshore97]

All the NFC North matchups. We should not lose to any of those teams yet they all have the potential to take it to us.

...where the heart maintains a normal rate, where the blood vessels in my head do not swell. I am with you PU. Love the "relaxing" games. Its is a nice break from the typical blood pounding brawls that the Ravens love to play so often. They love to play them close and exciting. Sometimes it is tough on the ol' ticker to be a Ravens fan.

No doubt.  Forget doctors, If you survived the playoffs last year as a Ravens fan, you have a good ticker.

 

Seriously though, how many people do you think had heart attacks during last years playoff run?  Looking back at the Radiers game, that was like sitting by the beach in the Caribbean.

By far the most stressful 5 weeks I've ever experienced in sports. Especially The Denver game. I can still feel the choking feeling,heart throbbing, stomach turning sadness after that Demaryius Thomas TD, following the 4th down fail and then the usage of all our timeouts.
As our offense went onto the field I thought to myself, I know Joe can do it, he's proven he can....But who's going to make the drop this year? Ugh!!!

I love close games and all, but this one was just way too dramatic! Overtime was just as bad. It wasn't anywhere near the Superbowl though on the "Last Stand" and on the following Kickoff.

The good guys didn't let us down though. :)
