[Chi_Town_Raven]

Sharpe didn't pick us to go to the SB

[oryeman]

I been sticking with my prediction all week. Ravens 31 Dolphins 14.
Go Ravens! SQUISH THE FISH!!!!!

[Tonymontana45]

i like that, squish the fish, lol

[Chi_Town_Raven]

I like lewiss pregame swearing.

[theFRANCHISE]

Bill Cowher was the only one to pick the Ravens to lose on the CBS pre-game show.

Gee, thanks, coach.

[Ravnet]

Hello,

This will be a nice game to ease us into the playoffs. Joe will get some valuable experience and guys like Rice, Mason, and Samari will hopefully get some much needed rest

By the way, why is Barnes not on IR? Am I missing something?

He also just picked Cincy to make the playoffs next year...

[Chi_Town_Raven]

So basically, your saying we already won? I'm not, it'll be a good game.

[Tonymontana45]

I can see where hes coming from and the afc n has a way easier schedule but they would have to overpick the ravens and/or steelers

yup valuable experience for our 3 year vet Flacco. oh damn he's still a rookie? I couldn't tell

[theFRANCHISE]

I'll say this for the record:

Regardless of whatever happens today, I'm proud of this team. I know a lot (and I mean, A LOT) of people have this "Super Bowl or Bust" mentality now that the Ravens have made the playoffs, but I can't complain with where the team is at now, and I'm looking forward to seeing how far this team can go, now and into the future.

If we lose, I'll be upset, yes; but I certainly won't get too down, considering how far we've come from last season.

But if we win, I also won't assume a trip to Tampa is in the cards. One game at a time, after all.

WOO IM PUMPED!

I second this.

[Chi_Town_Raven]

Ya, but I'll be pissed at all the cocky Raven fans here if we lose, because Fin fans will make us eat crow. Don't be cocky!

This team has to win today. They can lose next weekend and the season will be a success, but you can't lose a playoff game to an inferior team. This is a must win for the franchise. If we lose it will be a big black mark on the Ravens.

Hey, that's why I've never gotten too emotional or pissed when we've lost this season.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

Come on O, lets hit paydirt here.
Set the tone, dont let them.

[Man Crush on Flacco]

Let's go Offense

[Tonymontana45]

woot no figures, good start

[Chi_Town_Raven]

I have my good luck charm talking.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

Thats good...Hopefully we can have lots of success on the ground.
First down!

Damn straight this is a must-win for me. (J/k, I know what you meant)

I wouldn't call the Dolphins an inferior team though. Again, to do what they've done this season and to play as well as they have, they're not an inferior team by any stretch. And even though it was against the faltering Jets, to still come back to win their division on the road is amazing.

[Man Crush on Flacco]

First down good job

[Ravnet]

Pretty soft crowd to begin with. It's probably rocking for Miami, but Joe has seen a lot worse.

[H8R]

Here we go GUYS! MOVING IT WELL!

[Ravens52]

Nice run by McClain and great catch by Mason

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

Atleast our QB's first playoff pass wasnt intercepted =)
*Knock on wood*
