Big game against a legit team where no-one else thinks we can win but we know we have a shot?

What else could you want as a Ravens fan? Roll on Sunday

Pees knows Brady pretty well...

**JAB1985** · 01-13-2013, 07:22 PM

I wanted the pats for that reason, i think we match up better. Also to avenge last years mistakes. I think well have another close game. No gronk to worry about but hernandez and welker with no webb will be interesting. Cary got picked on pretty bad thegame this season so id hope he adjusts. Is the pats really that good of a rush defense? I feel that was greatly exaggerated by the post game show, marino?. I dont care if we run or pass on them im pretry confident going in their house and putting up 30+ because quite frankly the broncos def is better.

So let me guess...we don't stand a chance...greatest QB ever...the altitude...oh wait, that was last week.

So let me guess for this week...we don't stand a chance...greatest QB ever...yada yada yada

I am sure we will be 5,126 point underdogs and we probably shouldn't even show up.

I think their rush defense is very good.......pass defense, maybe not so much. We just beat Denver who has a very good defense as well, but we are going to have to play better.

While they certainly have a mix of guys they like to run in and out, not having Gronkowski is a big help to us IMO.
He's too freakin' big for a DB to try and cover, and too fast for most linebackers to cover.
He is a huge advantage and weapon for them that they apparently have lost.
I ain't crying over it that's for sure.

I think you can couple in having KO in the middle next to Birk as well.
The offensive line we've been running out there the past two weeks is far superior to any we've trotted out there all year.

If McKinnie shows up and stays motivated, this line could be a difference maker in how we choose to attack them and the outcome of this game.

Not so sure their DBs can keep up with the speed of Torrey and Jacoby, and that line played pretty much lights out yesterday against one of the better pass rushing teams in the league.

I like our chances if our defense can maintain the bend but don't break against their offense.

Jeez- did we get a whole 24 hours to celebrate?! I'm gonna spend the rest of the evening basking in the glow of yesterday's win.
Ill think of Brady and the gang in the AM.

Are you watching the game pats vs texans? If so you see the hurry snap offense catch em b4 they set up. It's a gimmick.

You know the same organization that did spygate and cut a guy the day b4 the Super Bowl

I'd like to think Jacoby will be an x-factor next week. The Pats ST looked really bad on the D. Manning opening return.

**Ravens75** · 01-13-2013, 07:32 PM

BA needs to STFU. His unit kept the Broncos in the game.

Damn, all year the Ravens don't say shit and then this guy who wont even be on the team next year starts running his mouth.

I know he was referring to the team but I almost felt like he was taking to everyone.

He needs to shut up & to worry about his own team's special teams coverage.

He played poorly in Broncos game.....

I agree 100% - dont need bulletin board material

**Ravens27Girl** · 01-13-2013, 07:37 PM

I want everyone to pick against us..... let us PLEASE be the underdogs! I hope we hear all week how the Ravens are no match for Brady and the Pats. They will do us the biggest favor by hating on us all week.

**bmoreravengirl** · 01-13-2013, 07:39 PM

Bring on Thomasina. He's probably seeing Ngata in his nightmares already. And now he has to worry about Suggs too.

**Gronkey Kong** · 01-13-2013, 07:39 PM

Stoked to see our friendly rivals in Baltimore coming up again

You guys want payback for last year. We want payback for that horribly called game this year. I think the Patriots matched up better against Denver and thought they would have rolled them easily, but having Baltimore coming in is going to be a challenge. Shame Gronk can't stay healthy a full fucking postseason, but they'll deal without him and there will be no excuses. The Pats are going to have to limit Boldin and Smith by rarely ever leaving them alone on islands and...can you believe it...maybe make the Ravens try to win with Rice. Going to be an awesome game, I can't wait for the week's worth of shit-talking we're going to have between the two fanbases!! GO PATS!

Yea I don't know what the fuck they were doing today, they've been damn good in ST coverage all year. I don't think BB will let that kind of a game happen two weeks in a row
