Divisional - Baltimore Ravens (11-6) vs. New England Patriots (12-4)

I'm very happy to see that all of the analysts are picking the Patriots to win.

Don't want anyone to give us a chance.

ESPN Tommy Jackson and Berman both picked Ravens. Ditka, Keyshawn, Carter picked Pats

Dang I missed it. I wanted to see that. Thought it would be later.

It's avaiable on the Sportscenter app.

Well, Berman picks us every single game no matter what, so that doesn't mean too much.  Surprised Jackson picked us though.

 

I laughed this morning when they ran the highlights from our last playoff game in Foxborough, and then subsequently all of the analysts went through reasons why the Pats are better and the Ravens are worse than they were then.

You guys remember the play we just missed, I think against the Jags, when we did our typical play action bootleg, but instead of throwing to the guys rolling with him Joe stop and threw deep to the backside where Owen Daniels was going going down the sideline? I'd love to see us try something like that early on, maybe even on the first play with one of our speedsters being the target.

excatly what I want for the first play. 2 TE 2 wideouts. Smith wide right crockett right tight end, Daniels left and Torrey wide left on browner. Play action run left, Joe rolls out right. Crocket blocks initially then comes out right as a dump of if no one is open.

Torrey kind of runs a deep post towards deep middle or defence right. Heruns over the top of the safety, while Daniels runs a shallower posts behind the mlb and in front of the safety's to try and hold them. If safety drops he should have Daniels open in the gap, if safety bites on Daniels, bombs away to Torrey for a pi at least.

If nothing on dump to crocket. SSS can run a deep out or something so joe can throw away without a flag or whatever.

They're going to need to use guys like Gilmore, Aiken & Brown heavily in this game. The Pats will believe they can shut down the Smiths and win - those guys will be huge for a win today.

 

I have tried to put aside my disdain for Brady but then he went and said he was a machine. No man. Just no. There was only one machine, jerk, and he retired.

 

Just beat these arrogant blowhards.

And THAT was exactly why he said it......  It was his way of trash-talking....  He knew that the Ravens would pick right up on it...  The only machine that Brady is...  is he is a Whining Machine...  a Flag-begging machine... 

 

Yup...  How many championships have they won since they were caught spying????  Oh yeah, that's right...  NONE!

Anyone catch that duel interview with Suggs & Smith?

Really enjoyed it. Love the "inner city traffic playoff" quote 89 gave

The link is on FB through the Baltimore Ravens Fan Page...  It was GREAT!...  LMBO...

[beanfigger]

The last time the Pats won a title, I think I saw a 1-800-COLLECT commercial at halftime. This is our time. We can be the team of this decade and remove, yet again, the team of last decade.

Everyone is talking about the weather like the Ravens have no history or clue about playing in cold weather...  Remember Denver????

[Zeus]

I've started drinking. And when I drink, we mostly win.

Need a wingman?

Suggs is the "face" of the DEF.  And he has a history with NE especially with Brady. 

[Alaska Alaska!]

Why are there Patriot fans here?

Why not?  Besides Pats is a cool dude.  He's always here.
