Merged: Ravens Will Face Pittsburgh

[DJDeezy]

Assuming Baltimore has the weapons to make a run deep into the playoffs, which team in the AFC would you like most to avoid, and which would you like the Ravens to face?

[Mt. Crushmore]

No: Patriots.  They have been playing great recently.

 

Yes:  Bengals.  Playoff Dalton is a thing of beauty.

I agree with the Bengals

The Pats were a close second for me in terms of teams that I don't want to face, but Julius Thomas and the Denver WR corps scares me more than Brady's weapons. Although with our current secondary, they could both pick us apart,

[Static]

I want the Bengals or Broncos.

 

I don't expect much from either QB

[FoxRox75]

No: Pittsburgh Steelers - they've been scary lately and I REALLY don't want to be 0-4 against them in the playoffs.

 

Yes: Denver Broncos - they've been slipping a lot lately, and I would like our odds to beat them right now.

[Inqui]

Careful what you wish for. There's an unwritten rule about not talking up who you'd rather face for a reason, so that's all I'll say on the matter. I'll just take whoever's in front of us and hope we're still around in the fourth quarter.

 

I just wanted to get that out the way, so as you were.

[RaineV1]

I want them to face the Pats. The Ravens seem to do better against the Patriots than any other team in the playoffs.

 

I don't want them to face the Bengals. For whatever reason the Bengals have had the Ravens' number this year and I'd rather not test the old motto Third's Time A Charm against them.

[Militant X 1]

Just Win!  Regardless of who the opponent may be.

Probably only applies if you're an active participant in the game. Luckily fans can say whatever they want on the internet, and it'll literally have no bearing on the outcome of anything

[rmcjacket23]

I think the Broncos are a matchup nightmare for us.

 

Based on how teams are currently playing and their personnel, I think I'd rather play Indy.

[beanfigger]

The only thing that's guaranteed right now is that we will, in fact, play in NE should we win next week, so I'm definitely not going to list them because that implies we go one and done.

At Pitt scares me a lot more than hime vs Pitt, whereas I don't see too much change in the other squads in terms of home or away in January. I'd love to go through Denver, NE and Cincy on route to Arizona.

[D_UP]

Dude with our secondary any team can do whatever. So it really doesn't matter. Anything can happen once you get to playing.

[ravensdfan]

 I certainly did NOT want to go to Denver & then NE in 2012. What that season taught me is that you have to play who you have to play. It is completely outside your control.

 

That said - I would rather go to the ketchup field and potentially hand them a fourth playoff loss than potentially be Dalton's first playoff victory. That is just me though.

[52520Andrew]

I don't want to face Denver. They are going to be fired up from 2012 and Manning will more than likely have a week of rest and watch plenty of film on our secondary.

Not really a team I want to face as they all can beat us or have beaten us. It will be tough. I chose New England since if we face them, it means we make the next round.

[Ravens Rule123454321]

The obvious answer to me is the bengals. Dalton is the worst of the QB's and with our secondary I see the other QB's lighting them up. And honestly it doesn't matter who we go against if the offense sleepwalks through the games like they have been doing recently we don't stand a chance against anyone. 

[The Raven]

There isn't a single opponent that scares me more than another. Every one of these teams can beat us, and we can beat all of them.

 

That being said, I'd love for our Super Bowl journey to go through Pittsburgh. We owe them a playoff loss.

[GrimCoconut]

I'm not concerned about any team because they all have their warts. The Patriots played well lately but I think our weakness plays to their weakness. I'm not concerned about the Bengals. The Broncos haven't been sharp lately and I just don't trust Peyton, though I'll admit he's most likely to tear apart our secondary with his WR corps over any other team left.

[ROH522155]

I voted for the Colts only because they're the least embarrassing team to say I'm "afraid" of. Bring on any one of these fools.

[SuggsBarber]

Every team presents matchup problems for us.So in light of that,I'd go with the qb most likely to choke.Which is Dalton,imo,but we have zero answer for A.C.Green.Sanu too,for that matter.

[jimmypowder]

Bengals is who we want . Dalton is a choker in the playoffs .

I do not want the Big Ben - Antonio Brown , Bell combination

[redrum52]

Don't want to see the Broncos. Would like to play the Steelers.

[Gordo52]

Every team is beatable but the Colts scare me the most. Don't like the way we matchup with them and hate how nobody is talking about them.

[hawkprey]

Every team worries me, no team scares me.

[cursona pirate]

Who cares who we face. In the end if we want to get to the BIG ONE we need to beat some good teams. It aint gonna be a walk in the park. 

[HazDaGeneral]

I just wanted to know who would you rather see the Ravens face in the first round of the playoffs?

[K-Dog]

I honestly like the thought of facing pitts-burgh.  I think we know them better than any body.

Every one on that list is beatable.  I guess figure out who has the best O-line and they would be the one I dont want to face.
Maybe Denver.

[GrimCoconut]

Bengals. They choke in the playoffs. They do have our number, but I think we can beat them and I think they will overlook us as a result of their success, and become their mistake. I would also like to play the Steelers in the AFCCG and have Flacco beat them then. 

[redrum52]

Steelers. We've got history and still haven't beat them in the post season.

[redrum52]

Bengals. They choke in the playoffs. They do have our number, but I think we can beat them and I think they will overlook us as a result of their success, and become their mistake. I would also like to play the Steelers in the AFCCG and have Flacco beat them then.

Nvm what I said. This would be perfect too, only if we won of course.

[3-4ravdef509]

Not sure. I feel confident against Bengal's offense and Steelers defense, but nervous against Steelers offense and Bengals defense.
