The media only makes me want this lombardi even more

amazing how quiet they all are after we smoked the Colts, guess they're all just mad because they have to toss their pre-written Andrew Luck fairytale stories in the bin!

GO RAVENS

Nothing about flacco

At halftime they kept saying Flacco needed to step up even though it was really the O-line/receivers who needed to step up.

After the game, they made excuses for Luck even though he missed quite a few throws. And his receivers were often wide open over the deep middle of the field and also the flats.
There are people who probably think Luck had an OK game because he got a lot of yards late in the game during garbage time.

Rice fumbles twice and Flacco needs to step up. This is the mentality we are dealing with. In some people's eyes joe can do nothing good ever.

He had a good game. He hit Pitta and Boldin when he needed to. Would have had 40 to 60 more yds if Doss could have held on to the ball. Some of those drops were on Joe, but not all of them.

Guys on Nfl scoreboard have already announced houston and Ravens do not have a chance next week. Sure hope their wrong, talking head need to be replaced when the predictions they make a week before the game turn out to be wrong. Ravens play smart next week and they win. As usual, turnovers and one demensional offense will bring a loss. Would like for Flacco to try long passes crossing the fiel that aren't hail mary passes. Hitting a receiver in stride would silence all the haters( OK, they say it isn't hate. just something close to it).LOL

Beat the Broncos in Denver and you'll get that respect.

Not surprised. We got smoked by Denver in our house. And now we're going to their place. Adding that Manning is to us what kryptonite is to Superman..

Any given Sunday though, any given Sunday (or, in our case, any given Saturday). No time like the present to get that gargantuan monkey off our backs.

what gives me hope is that we always play peyton hard and he is a known playoff choker

It may also help that we already played an all around good game in the postseason and the Broncos had to rest for a week coming off of that 11 game winning streak. It happens all the time with these bye teams : Taking a break while playing well a lot of the time slows down the momentum. See Green Bay last year.

We need to come out FIRING early. The last thing you want is to be down to Peyton Manning and let him use his pass rush like he did in the Indy days.

So why don't we get Tebow and grab some attention from the media?

Is Peyton lining up on defense on Saturday?

That is not what I meant at all but thanks for being a smart ass! Always appreciate it.

You don't want to get down big to the Broncos because the pass rushers are extremely talented and will most likely wreck havoc on our inconsistent offensive tackles.

Of course EVERY team doesn't want to be down early. It's one of the oldest cliches in football.

So logically the Ravens should win on Saturday? Despite the fact that Peyton has beaten Baltimore like 10 times in a row, it's at Mile-High Denver, and the Broncos just ripped the Ravens a new one a few weeks ago?

When news broke of Ray's decision, the media was all over it. I don't know what the hell you've been watching. They're tone down his retirement coverage these last few days because of the playoff games.

Nope. Won't happen. There will be some blather about Denver having a down game and rust from the "lay off," and it'll be on to sucking Brady's jock again or hyping the Texans as the Next Great Team.

We need to come out heavy early. Smash 'em hard in the mouth and keep stomping on them. It's still Denver, and they've always been a soft team. Beat them up.

Kruger needs to smack Manning like he did Luck.

So let's get some early personal fouls so we can show them who's boss. Really? You think an NFL team, in their own stadium, is going to wilt because you decide to get tough? Did it work last time Sherlock? Honestly, I'm sick of sock 'em in the mouth rah rah BS, especially from wanna be GMs. This WILL NOT defeat Peyton and the Broncos. Can you come up with something more constructive?

How about YOU share your genius plan

I don't have a plan yet but if I do, it's not rah rah smack-them-in-the-mouth BS, as if opposing veteran NFL teams are just going to melt under the pressure.
