Next Up: Saints

[beanfigger]

Not a "must win", and with it being only our seventh win if we get it, it shouldn't seem so big. But I just have a feeling that winning this game will go super far for us moving forward. Could easily see us going 11-5 if we get this one.

And it led to this gem

 

Yeah, if anyone says Flacco doesn't show emotion, they need to watch this

Anyone know what precipitated this?

Anyone know what precipitated this? 

Looks like possibly the referees missing calls or making questionable calls

He got kicked in the head wile already down.

There was LOTS of that stuff getting missed that day.

[Militant X 1]

Not all of the crowd. I'm gonna be there and I'm gonna be jumping.. First game in a long time

 

You need to scream and yell at the top of your voice for all of us back here on the east coast that can't physically make that game.  Our boys are count on you to cheer them on to victory!!

 

Go Ravens!1

Man if I go to destin.. I'm prolly not leaving.. Love destin

On a really right schedule though.. 3 different trips from this Saturday through thanksgiving

Yeah, here ya there. The condo we bought this past summer is slowly looking more and more like it could be a permanent residence!

On topic - Beat them down! Get up by 3 scores and then don't stop. Throw a 50 burger on 'em!

Question is, do I dare come out of retirement?

Gets too cold up there in the panhandle for me....  I'll take "real Florida".....  below the Freeze Line.  My kids lived up there in Tallahassee for about 3 years...  There was about a 20 degree difference between there and here.  I'll take my Melbourne.

 

Saints worry me a little...  They are coming off 3 straight losses.  They're gonna be a ticked off bunch.... and needless to say, a very ticked off crowd.

 

We need to come out fast.  Score First.... and yeah, put up some serious points to stay ahead....  Pass Rush is essential.. and our Secondary better put it together..

please do. that hot tub last week is an image burned into my brain that I can't get rid of. REALLY don't want to have to go through that again.

From what I remember, Flacco had been sacked and was already downed when another defender (Will Smith, I think) came in late and gave Flacco a knee to his lower back. This was on a 3rd down and was uncalled / dirty. This was the season before the Saints were busted for their bounty program.

 

Flacco and the Ravens were upset because the Saints received a VERY generous call when Ed Reed grazed Drew Brees' helmet on a play and it was called 'roughing the passer'. Plus, it was a dirty play and should have been called.

I can't watch at work but this video might show it. Believe this was the play

 

(2:25) 5-J.Flacco sacked at NO 15 for -10 yards (99-J.Wilkerson).

 

In the 3rd quarter, there's a "Watch Highlight" link

[52N19]

Gonna be there for this game.. First game in years

Extremely nervous about it.. Saints looked rough today but it's gonna be N.O. At home and on Monday night football against a patchwork secondary

Please please show up pass rush

watch out for the guy who stole the ball from the bengals fan.

Kicked in the head, kneed in the back.  A leg and the upper half of his body.  I was in the ball park

[I AM LEGEND]

I saw this stat and I dont know how real it is.... 14 straight home wins in primetime for the saints?

Edit*

Its true and they win the games by an average of 20pts

:/

We'd also never lost coming off a bye under Harbaugh until last year. The only reason streaks occur is so they can be broken.

When's the last time they lost two in a row at home?  

 

Time for three in a row!   

[Tank 92]

That was great tv.  and that guy had attitude!

 

She did get her ball later in the game, but it definitely was not the first one.

[Dewy101]

You have to wonder what Gubiak was doing when the Steelers were blitzing us. Titans are making them look like fools

[PoeDinkum]

Inititally I was dismissive of the likelihood we win this game and was more concerned about beating the next 2 AFC opponents. HOWEVER, with as crappy as the Aint's have looked these last 2 weeks and the fact that they lost Cooks and their starting free safety Bush, I do think that this game is very winnable and FRANKLY a game we should win.

 

I don't think we will see too many new offense wrinkles so as not to put too much on tape for SD and Miami, but I do expect that execution and effort will be significantly improved. NO SLOW STARTS. IF we come out of the bye with the typical effort that defined this team the last 3 weeks we are going to be in for a very long 6 game stretch.

[JetLife94]

With the way juice has progressed as a blocker, he ain't going to TE

That and taliaferro is only 6 foot

[omar586]

the ravens needs to work on their IN-GAME adjustments,  i was watching the colts-pats game, and saw fleener the TE was eating the pats D up, BB was quick, he put browner on fleener and that was the end of it. i would like to see quick in-game adjustments when things get out of hand.

[darklight1216]

I thought Joe Flacco was kneed in the head by a Saint too.

We'd also never lost coming off a bye under Harbaugh until last year. The only reason streaks occur is so they can be broken.

Last year was definitely a year for ending Ravens streaks. There was the bye record, the season opener, beating the Browns, making the playoffs... There's probably some more I'm forgetting.

 

Anyways, I'm hoping for a win, but we all know how Baltimore's recent road woes are not encouraging.

I remember for a post last year I got to nine broken runs off the top of my head.

 

Gun to my head I'm picking the Saints. But you know the Ravens won't be going in there with a defeatist attitude - none of this "they're unbeatable at home in primetime" or "I dunno how we'll stop them without Jimmy" business. They'll go in, believe they can win and do what they can do get it done while leaving excuses at the door. So that's also my take as a fan: no reason to believe they can't do it.

 

Also working in our favour is that we're 4-0 whenever I miss a big chunk for any given reason (and not just winning, but winning comfortably), and this game's on while I'm at work. No way we don't go to 7-4.

[Georgehd]

I know the double negative was confusing and not proper English, but I do believe they were saying that it's very likely Brees destroys our secondary.

Sorry about that went back and reread your post,you had it right

[berad]

You know the Saints are going to come out ready to play, 2 straight losses at home. BUT they lost to more physical teams so that's what we have to be.

[thisme007]

Flacco,needs to bring his A game,and the defense need to be physical..

[The Mom Gene]

And it led to this gem

 

In Flacco's entire career, I have never seen him that pissed off.

[ratedr]

Reading the Saints forum is interesting. Talking about who needs to be fired, bad cap management, and how they have no defensive leadership without Jon Vilma. All sounds very familiar.

[redrum52]

Let me be honest. I don't care how we win this game, as long as we win and come out healthy.

[DomMcRaven]

Seriously! I don't want us to lose because we failed to make the adjustments and then hear all about it on these boards......again.

[Neal Could Block the SUN!!]

Going to be a long weekend!

We can hope

Cleveland loses to ATL

Cincy loses to HOU

Spitsburgh loses to BYE (we can hope!!)

Show up big Monday night. Punch the Saints in the mouth and take their lunch, lunchbox, pudding, carrot sticks........ (Gotta Love SSS)
