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.

SSS basically said the same thing. Hope you're right. 

[robbie29]

Remember the mile high miracle game when nobody gave the Ravens a chance? We can do this Monday. We've got to.

While losing Gronk was huge, lest we forget that they still have Bennett who's been playing pretty well this year. His athleticism + size combo makes him a mismatch problem.

[busterblue52]

If we score more points then them I feel that we can win this game.

[jazz1988]

I think The Ravens definitely need to use Levine at inside linebacker more in this game.

Bennett has actually been playing like crap for a good while now.  He had one or two good games earlier this year. 

[PuRock]

We are getting healthier (which is odd to say) and the Patriots are pretty banged up.  I know a lot of the Pats fans our discounting us because of our losses but we we were severely banged up in those games.  No Steve Smith, Doom, CJ Moseley, O-line.  This is the healthiest we've been this season and it showed out on the field today.   

[Militant X 1]

I initially penciled this game in as an "L".  However, I'm re-thinking that after their game today.  The offense was HOT!  Finally!  IF...the Ravens keep utilizing their offensive personnel in this manner along with our defense playing well; they can actually go in to Foxborough and rough up Brady and company and come out of there with a big fat "W" and shock the ENTIRE football world...like they wanted to do in Dallas.  

They just have to watch out  for all of Bellicheats "trickeration" to get a win!

GO RAVENS!!

The Ravens definitely have a good chance at this. The D is the best in the league with Jimmy healthy, and the secondary has been getting better all season. 

If the O-line can protect Joe, the offense should have little problem moving the ball. They just have to cut the stupid penalties.

[hn68wb4]

The question is where is the weakness in the Pat's defense. Miami's weakness was obvious, no linebacker, just attack the middle nonstop. NE is a bit harder to tell.

i think you attack the linebackers with speed, hightower is a good player but he isnt very fast, the only linebacker they have that really run is mingo but hes far more an athlete than a player. id like to see bunch formations, get pitta up front and work the seam to draw the extra db while perriman and wallace break underneath and force the linebackers to try to run with them, and use combination routes to isolate steve smith and kenneth dixon, let steve smith beat the coverage and get dixon the ball in space.

One of my best friends is a pats fan. Always love this game. 

Hes worried about this game. He said the Ravens are the one team he doesn't want to see in the playoffs bc our D, how Joe always shows up, and Harbs is the one coach who seems to hang with Belichick. 

Its gonna take a perfect game from an execution standpoint. You cannot give Brady extra possessions. 

If our OL plays this well next week I like our chances. Their D is not good and our D matches up about as well as any against their offense. 

We need Joe to play like Wilson did against them and hold serve. If he can go score for score with Brady I like our D's chances to be the first one to come up with a stop or turnover. 

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

Plus we finally have a corner who can take away the quick underneath stuff to Edelman and Amendola. 

Young will be huge in this game. I trust our front 7 to stop Blount and our LBs and Safeties to stop White/Lewis. 

Smith will shut down Hogan. Mosley/Orr/Weddle can check Bennett. 

Suggs, Jernigan, Doom and Judon gonna beat Brady down. Hit em over and over and over again and make them put Jimmy G in for fear of losing Brady for the year.

Fiery Flacco has arrived. He will be ready for #Venom Brady and the Patriots.

But if you're watching this, Ravens, please let us wear the "Business as Usuals" (White top/Black Pants) I miss those. lol

Let's not forget about Mitchell.  He is coming on strong.

Big if true 

[Cillmatic]

This is probably gonna be the best game of the year! I'm hyped! We need to play GREAT. All aspects of the game. Our offense needs to play like we did today and the defense needs to be smart. The Patriots are that team that somehow always get by with marginal talent. Jimmy can shut down whoever's on his side and Tavon is a GREAT matchup with Edelman, he's quicker and a solid tackler. I don't know much about the Patriots Defense but I do know that our offense is gonna have to smash 'em up. This is the HYPE game!!

No not a tennis player. Just a fan of tennis lingo. 

I guess you could say I "Love" it. 

Thank you thank you. I'll be here all night. 

[ravensnation5220]

Tavon young is my xfactor for this game. He is the perfect corner for this game. If he plays well which i think he will then we have a good chance at winning this game. As long as the offense stays in rythm

[FoxRox75]

Tough, tough game; Gronk or no Gronk, the Patriots are a tough team. If we hadn't had such a great performance against Miami today, I'd be a lot more nervous about this. Seeing as we look to be significantly improving though, it should be a very competitive game. I think our squad has the potential to win out, but it won't be easy. 

[JO_75]

Raiders currently sit as the number one seed once again through tiebreakers. To me, winning this game and potentially being the one LOSS that gives home Field to Oakland or KC in the playoffs would make it sweeter. 

[PurpleCity5]

I'm going to label this one as a must-win and here's why. 

The Patriots are the top team in the AFC and it's been a long time since we've beaten a team as good as them. The Ravens will be going into this game with sky high confidence after thrashing Miami. Can you believe the momentum that's going to carry into Pitt if we manage to beat them in their own home and then taking care of Philly at home?

Also, we need to win that game against a great team that's going to carry us to the playoffs and further. It's the type of game where you look back on as a season changing game. This is definitely one that can define our season.

I honestly want us to win this game so bad. I really do, I want this one so badly, more than the Cowboys game and I really wanted that one.  

This is honestly the type of game that I think we'll need to separate us from Pittsburgh.

I really feel the same way. If we lose this one. Pittsburgh is then a must win if its not already.....we really screwed ourselves with that October losing streak..

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

Isn't Brady his favorite? I dunno, guess it depends on the week...

It's def. Big Ben. 

[flynismo]

Same as any other game. OL plays well, we win, they don't we lose.

[flynismo]

Flacco gets more respect in enemy territory than he does here in his own home:

 

Joe FLACCO has a history of coming in and lighting up this team. He scares me.

http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/do-the-ravens-scare-you.1135735/page-3#post-4843350

 

Flacco should have a field day against our defense. Heck, he lit up our 2014 defense which was miles ahead of the current unit.

And my FAVORITE comment

Flacco is elite. Tom doesn't even get his entire game broadcast today so yes I am scared of Baltimore

http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/do-the-ravens-scare-you.1135735/page-4#post-4843509

 

As usual, should be a great game against the Pats.
