Next Up: Ravens AT Patriots, Gillette Stadium, Monday December 12.

[Moderator 2]

MNF football away against Suggs second favorite QB---- Brady.

[Ravensfan23]

So glad to see the Ravens hitting full stride heading into this game. They aren't afraid to go to NE and walk away with the win like most teams seem to be. I expect this game to have a AFCCG feel to it. 

[ThatsMyJoeTerback]

Arrrgggh. Just break Brady's soul and chuck into the air of Foxborough.

After we win, of course

I have this penciled in as an L. But IDC. If we can play them tough, I'll be confident about our postseason chances going forward. Philly doesn't scare me. 

[D_UP]

Should be good. GO RAVENS! 

[Cillmatic]

Gonna be a good game. We can win this!

[TuckerTime9]

Playoffs are coming and we got a preview of January Joe today. 

 

I think Joe's going to march into Foxborough and show everyone just how passionate he is! 

[Bryden88]

I also have this has a loss, and had it a loss even when we were 3-0. I do however have hope for an upset special.

 

So I have a prediction.

IF we lose to New England, we have to run the table in order to make the playoffs, and it will be very very tight.

IF we beat New England, we're almost certainly going to run the table up to week 17 which will be a sitting backups game.

 

Steelers play down to weak opponents, so i expect them to drop at least two more games this year IMO. Not even counting against us.

[hen826957]

This game is gonna be interesting. New England is not that tough to be honest. If this Ravens offense be like how it was today l could see a victory as in matter of fact if they make the playoffs, they are a threat in the AFC playoffs.

[DomMcRaven]

Count me in as one of the ppl who have this game as an L. Hopefully, we can at least be competitive. 

[reed20]

Going to be one hell of a game.

Barring anything too crazy its very likely the division comes down to Ravens vs Steelers again.  Most scenarios for both teams winning the division that are plausible involve winning that rematch because especially with only 4 to go it gets a little crazy to do it without that.

[allblackraven]

Bring it on!

[Purple_City39]

The Ravens team that played today will crush the Patriots.  If the Ravens team from previous weeks shows up, it'll be a long Monday night

[JO_75]

Too soon to say AFC Championship Preview?

[JoeyFlex5]

Seems people are overeating the patriots.. They're far from unbeatable and they are far worse off than they were when brady first returned. And we are a great matchup to beat them. If our offense plays like they did today then they don't stand a chance.

[PuRock]

Several weeks ago I was already embarrassed about this game on national TV.  Now I see it as a winnable major statement game.  It won't be easy.  But we should have some confidence going into this game. 

[Tank 92]

Wonder what tricks Billy has up his sleeve.  You know he's saving something for us.

[K-Dog]

Even at our worst, we play this team tough. I expect the same next week.

[Purple_ICE 81]

Gonna be a tough road to the playoffs, but we are arguably the best team prepared to go into Gillette stadium and win given our history and subtle rivalry with the Patriots in the Harbaugh/Flacco era. We have won big games against dominant Patriots teams before so maybe we pull out a win next monday. I predict we lose, but hopefully I'm wrong. 

Then we got 3 tough matchups against Philly, Pittsburgh, and Cincy. It's nice to see our squad finally gel and have some success and playoff hopes, but these last 4 games will show how strong our team really  is this year. 

 

 

 

[hn68wb4]

Very winnable game, we always play the Pats tough and Flacco is always clicking on all cylinders against them. Unlike last time we've got a legit #2 CB and a safety duo that's come into it's own and is playing very well. If our offense is moving like they did in 2014 playoff game then this'll be a W. Defense needs to clean up those missed tackles from the first half - yes Ajayi is hard to bring down but Blount won't make it any easier. Other than that, keep the turnovers coming D and we're poised for a deep run. December Flacco is upon us and he's a marvel.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

I dont like this. You need the win, but you almost dont want to show all your cards, because you will prolly see them again in playoffs.

[Raven'evermore]

 If we keep using the no huddle, don't make too many penalties and stay healthy, we will win. 

[sflegend89]

I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most memorable games of the year. No Gronk is a major plus for us heading into this matchup but Bennett is still dangerous, don't sleep on him.

This is a Pitta and Smith Sr. type of a game. Flacco will turn to them in a hostile road game, nationally televised nontheless. If we can limit Blount and Flacco can deal like he did this week I like our chances.

You never know with Brady and New England, very tough game to predict other than the fact it will be close. I'm really not looking forward to hearing that stupid fog horn effect they always play lol.

Umm...I hate the Steelers but even I have to admit they play very well in December- look at what they're doing to the Giants. I seriously doubt they'll drop 2 of their last 4 games. But- 1 game at a time. Ravens will have to play their best game next Monday. I think if they find a way to win next week then they will have unstoppable momentum heading into the last 3 games of the season.

[hn68wb4]

I come bearing good news for all, we have officially regained the #1 total defense spot from the Cardinals - but as of now we're only ahead by 14 yards...so in essence we're neck and neck to be called the top defense.

they do tend to play well late in the season, but the steelers have been know to lay an egg even more than us. you can almost never count on a full month of good football from the steelers.

They tend to play better in December as do we, but I don't think what they're doing to the Giants is very emblematic of anything. During that game they lost JPP and Hankins (I'm not sure if he ended up coming back into the game or not) in the first half and Pugh, whos been really good this year, was ruled out before the game. We should have never lost our matchup with them, and if we hadn't lost Jimmy halfway through then we probably wouldn't have. They're just overrated, one dimensional on offense and injuries on defense. They only won by 10 points, so this game doesn't exactly make me tremble about the Steeler's capabilities.

[RavensFanMania]

We are going to win the division.  No ifs ands or buts about it.  

We will also take down the Pats in Foxborough next Monday.

[ta2d1]

I see this as a loss but, with the perf9rmance today and the loss of gronk I'm a bit more optimistic, if we somehow pull this out then the sky is the limit.. GO RAVENS!!
