I think the -7.5 line is about right. Pats by a touchdown, 27-20.

[dduncan6er]

That sounds about right to me.

[jackisback24]

That sounds about right to me.
congrats.

[dmbgodagirl41]

I said 31-17 last weekend, but I'll go with that score for this weekend.

[pathetic]

Pats 28

Ravens 20

[kingchrisII]

I was in the carribean for the pats broncos.... thanks pats for paying off my entire cruise and bar bill :)

[dmbgodagirl41]

but in all seriousness, baltimore had a tough time winning on the road this season. their defense is older and slower and i dont think they can cover all the options the pats have to throw to. there's no way those LB's can stick with hernandez/gronk and if they sit back in zone Brady will pick them apart. i dont think flacco has the offensive firepower to keep up with this offense either.

Its what happens when Ray Rice plays on a field not specially built for him, like M&T Bank Stadium is.

don't they have a type of turf on their field just like gillette?

He looked pretty good on that 80 yarder in 2009

[dmbgodagirl41]

They have a type of turf, but it's a special kind that's specifically designed for Ray Rice. M&T has Sportexe synthetic turf, where Gillette has FieldTurf Duraspine PRO, or what is commonly used at most stadiums. Its why they were 8-0 at home, but 4-4 on the road.

i dont buy it really. his two best rushing games this season were two of the best of his career and they were both on the road.

29 for 204 1td @ cleveland

24 for 191 2td @ Cincy

20 for 104 2td home vs Cincy

23 for 87 0td home vs cle

he barely had 4 100 yard games at home. 101, 103, 107, and 104

From a very quick google search:

This SportExe field, which features 1billion blades of green synthetic fibers with a base of sand and granular rubber, is essentially the same as the highly rated one that has been in place for seven years. The older turf had begun to lose its softness, which led to the team's installing its first new field since it changed from grass in 2003."

[rickyh24]

So 3 players on this Pats D played in the Pats/Ravens game 2 years ago. 3 players from the Ravens D are still on the Ravens. I think its safe to say these are two totally different teams. Oh also Welker, Gronk and Hernandez were not on the field. Go up early on Flacco and this game is probably over quick. He is not a good QB.

[dmbgodagirl41]

From a very quick google search:

Very cool. Spanx! :)

[dmbgodagirl41]

Next Ravens fan I see sporting a fu-man chu is getting socked in the fucking face.

[cry_minarets458]

No prob. Saying it's specifically designed for him is a little obnoxious, but it was changed after he was in the league. I honestly think Bisciotti just wanted a more durable field. The one that was in the stadium during the first season was replaced twice I thought prior to 2003.

for the record, i agree :lol fucking KT...

KT's right about one thing though, Ravens haven't been successful on the road

[pathetic]

KT, Matt Light and Nate Solder played awesome last week. you happen to catch that offensive line protection?

[rickyh24]

Matt Light blows!!@!!

[dmbgodagirl41]

Solder played awesome. Light just did his fucking job for once.
I did like when that Broncos guy shoved Matt Light. I was hoping he'd get his face broken.

Edit: Now, in addition to thinking of me when Matt Light SUCKS (all the time) during the game, you can think of me when you see Shannon Sharpe, since he hates me. :lol

[pathetic]

i try trolling you and you piss me off more. you're the worst

[pathetic]

without light this team would have a tough time being competitive at this point of the season.

which game was he out? denver? wasn't brady on his back the entire first half?

[dduncan6er]

It was Miami when he was out. Mankins started at left tackle then he got hurt too.

[dmbgodagirl41]

i try trolling you and you piss me off more. you're the worst

:lol at this point, my hate for Light is pretty funny, since you guys actually like the guy and get all annoyed when I say he sucks. When you say he's good, I don't care. You should try that approach. hahahaha

[dmbgodagirl41]

It was Miami when he was out. Mankins started at left tackle then he got hurt too.

That was the game my family and I attended. It was glorious. All four of us were talking about how awesome it was that Light was out and the guy behind me started a "TURNSTYLE SUCKS!" chant, with all his friends hating on him.

I love drunk people at Gillette. :lol

he's not only a great guy and awesome in the pat's community, but he understands his role on the team and he does a great job protecting brady when people aren't lunging at brad'y knees

Matt Light is one of the nicest and most genuine athletes I've met, hands down. He's been outstanding this year.

I'm not saying he sucks as a person. :lol

QB Kyle Boller: "You do have your teammates behind you: your fullback and your halfback, and that’s only because they have to be."[15]
QB Kyle Boller: "I've got a better chance of winning the Kentucky Derby on the back of a donkey than they have of winning the Super Bowl with Kyle Boller."

Jacksonville Jaguars' strategy in a divisional playoff game against the New England Patriots: "Nothing cheap, nothing deep." (January 12, 2008)
CB Ray Buchanan, who wore a dog collar to Media Day and guaranteed an Atlanta victory in Super Bowl XXXIII (which Atlanta lost): "Had anybody heard of Ray Buchanan before he got to Atlanta?"
After Buchanan's assertion that Sharpe looked like a horse: "I've never called anybody ugly. Do I think people are ugly? Yeah, I think he's ugly, but I've never said that...Is he my friend? No. Did I ever view him as a friend? No. Do I view him as an acquaintance? No. Do I like him? No. If I see him in a snowstorm, his truck is broke down, mine is going perfectly, would I pick him up? No."
QB Steve DeBerg: "DeBerg is old enough to be my father, and he's still in the league. How old is DeBerg, 105?"

About the four people he'd invite to a dinner party: "Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Michael Jordan and Halle Berry. I'd talk to Gates, Buffett and Jordan first, and then me and Halle would go get another table in the back that's candlelit. And I'd let them discuss whatever they want to discuss."

About growing up in Georgia and hating the Atlanta Falcons: "I've pretty much been in Atlanta my whole life, and I never liked the Falcons. What was there to like about them? They lost all the time. If you had a pair of cleats on and you were in Fulton County, they'd put you in the ballgame, they were so bad. For $20, you could sit in the luxury box with the owner."
About the Indianapolis Colts Defense winning the Super Bowl: "I have a better chance of hitting a home run grand slam in Yankee's Stadium with a toothpick."
On Chicago Bears QB Rex Grossman's first-half performance in Super Bowl XLI: "Rex Grossman is exactly who I thought he was...inconsistent!" This was a spoof of then-Arizona Cardinals coach Denny Green, who had famously growled, "The Bears are who we thought they were!" following Arizona's infamous Monday Night Football loss to the Bears earlier that season.
On New England Patriots strategy after a Deltha O'Neal punt-return touchdown on Monday Night Football on November 3, 2003: "They can't run the ball! All they're gonna do is play-action, they can't run the ball."

[jjr4884]

Its funny how everyone here is mentioning how baltimore isn't good on the road, but no one brought up the fact that the pats lost both games to playoff caliber teams... pitt and giants, giants at home

regular season means nothing... anything in the past means nothing. the only thing that matters to win this game is the following

home field advantage
brady needs to be accurate
defense needs to play the way they did on Saturday

if this is done (almost) flawlessly, then there is no way in hell that Flacco will be able to go toe to toe in a TD shootout with Brady. If Brady has a bad day or if our D really drops the ball, it can be anyone's game.

[thebestauntie]

[rickyh24]

So now teams that are in the playoffs are not "playoff caliber" ?? :lol reaching much?

[pathetic]

oh wait, i got it!!! the way to stop brady is by getting pressure on him!!!1! no shit right?

and the way to stop jacoby ellsbury from stealing bases is by throwing him out!!! i love stating the obvious

[pathetic]

which elite QB did the ravens play this season that has their fans all confident? besides ben twice the only real QB they played is rivers and he went 17-23 for 270 and a td. balt lost 34-14

Are you telling me beating a team led by tj yates by 7 points isn't impressive?

lol did he only fumble once? i think he muffed one and fumbled another that he got back.

when we put welker back there those kinds of mistakes won't happen

[dduncan6er]

Yea he fumbled one and got it back. He also had 2 returns for negative yardage as well I think.

[pathetic]

Yea he fumbled one and got it back. He also had 2 returns for negative yardage as well I think.

with that and TJ yates playing qb i'm surprised it ended a 1 score game.

houston's D is underrated. mario williams and in there would've changed
their chances drastically.

a lot of people are saying if schaub never went down, houston would've had the #1 seed. idk about that, but they'd be a better team than the ravens for sure.

You honestly can say that the denver bronco's are a playoff caliber team? Really? Think about that... Denver was a given win... If they played against the Giants, Packers, 49ers, Ravens, or Saints, they would have been destroyed just like what the Pats did to them. Yes, they were in the playoffs, yes, they beat Pittsburgh with a lot of injuries... i think we can all agree that they were way out of their league coming to New England. A playoff "caliber" team doesn't buckle the way they did on Saturday.

Point taken rather than taking my posts literally word for word? Baltimore is a true test, they know how to play us, given they haven't played us this year.

:lol a given win in the playoffs. i had more confidence last weekend than i have in a long time, but a given win? nope....

example 7-9 seattle beats the saints last season

are people going to give the pats credit if they beat baltimore to get to the superbowl or are they going to say, "wow, the only team you beat with a winning record was baltimore!"

[jjr4884]

ahhahaa

that baltimore rant just blew up my ear drums. hahahah

[dmbgodagirl41]

I wish I had taped some radio commentary on Mondays after Ravens games. The one thing everyone in this city would say was "If he has a ton of time to throw, has perfect protection, isn't rushed at all, and finds a wide-open receiver, Joe Flacco is as good...if not better...than someone like Tom Brady".

what the frackity frack. :lol

i will give the pats as much credit as anyone else. they called the right plays, the defense stepped up, and we were relentless all game long.

that is a "playoff caliber win" ... yea, could have denver beat us? yes. Did i know 100% that the pats were going to win? no... but after the game, Denver showed their true colors, they didn't belong in NE. A playoff caliber team makes the neccesary adjustments to stop the beating that they are getting. Look at what happened week 17. 21-0... we made the necessary adjustments to come back and win. I'm not taking any credit away from the Pats... we did phenomenal and I hope it continues this week, but you bet your ass if Baltimore finds themselves doen 21-0, they will do something different to stop us

[jjr4884]

"varitek kicking the ball through the uprights"

everyone would say that? what about all the flacco haters that call in? You know there are plenty. I'm sure new england sports talk radio is much better...:rolleyes


my thoughts on this game is that it is probably going to be very close and come down to whoever doesn't give up the big play (like jones fumbling that punt on the 2). should be exciting. lots of baltimore fans heading up. :thumbsup

[rickyh24]

The Flacco "haters" have legit reasoning to why he is not that good. Trying to make an argument that Flacco is as good as Brady is just absurd.

[dmbphan07]

obviously. i'm not making that argument. but trying to bash on baltimore sports talk radio, come on. lets be honest- most sports talk radio callers aren't very good no matter what market. most of them are people with an outside opinion or just want to hear themselves talk or whatever. that's all i was saying.

all in all it should be a great game and i'm really pumped. weekend can't come soon enough!

[rickyh24]

Yeah most people who call any sports radio are usually not all there. No doubt about that.

[schreiber89]

Is there any news about Ed Reed's injury?

[pathetic]

he called baltimore sports radio and ripped flacco today. no mention of the injury

if the ravens play like they did this past weekend, its NOt going to be a great game...at all. Its going to be sad for the ravens.

[dmbphan07]

stinger. xrays all negative. apparently looks fine. he'll play.

[jjr4884]

Is there any news about Ed Reed's injury?

he got carried off the field, limped for a sec, then walked slowly for the remaining time he was on camera

he's fine

[schreiber89]

This. Everyone who thinks this is going to be a great game didn't watch the Texans game.

[cry_minarets458]

Sad? I'm used to being let down. Cam Cameron and the Ravens have made me an emotional rock over the past few years.

[trippingbillie4]

The key to winning this game is our defense being able to stop Ray Rice. If we can limit him then I think we win by 14+. If he's allowed to run all over us it's going to be close or even embarrassing. Compared to the first time we played Denver our defense really stepped up, especially against the run. And I think everyone can agree that running the ball was Denver's greatest strength--very good RB and one of the better rushing QB's this season. If our defense can play like that then I think we'll be able to keep Rice's numbers down.

[cry_minarets458]

This. Everyone who thinks this is going to be a great game didn't watch the Texans game.
I agree, but at the same time the weeks after the Seahawks game, the Ravens beat Cincy and then the 49ers on a short week. Point is, yeah, last week wasn't the first time Baltimore looked like the Browns, but every week is a new week.

they won't let rice run all over them. BB's gameplan will not allow it. he's going to make flacco beat the pats and keep up with brady

[dmbphan07]

so you think the pats are going to blow them out?

[rickyh24]

I'm not worried about the run defense one bit.

[cry_minarets458]

At least I'm a sensible Ravens fan :lol I've got tons of pride, but sensible...

[dre2142]

so you think the pats are going to blow them out?

I do, yes. Basing it on watching the Pats over the last few weeks, and the ravens as well.

35-14, or something comparable.

[trippingbillie4]

Well then we're going to win unless Brady from the Jets playoff game shows up

[pathetic]

ya, i dont think it'll be a blowout, but i think the pats take it and cover.

like i said earlier, my predicition is 28-20 NE

That sounds about right to me. I'm kinda surprised I haven't heard one sports commentator call it for the Pats though. Everyone seems to think the Ravens are the favorite based on our defensive rank and Ray Rice being the difference maker. They say the main reason Baltimore had a bad game last week was because of the Texans defense and that they will play a lot better against us. Whatever

[pathetic]

That sounds about right to me. I'm kinda surprised I haven't heard one sports commentator call it for the Pats though. Everyone seems to think the Ravens are the favorite based on our defensive rank and Ray Rice being the difference maker. They say the main reason Baltimore had a bad game last week was because of the Texans defense and that they will play a lot better against us. Whatever

i think houston D is underrated and played great against baltimore. they just happened to be playing against a rookie QB that was on the road and turned the ball over a couple times. like duncan mentioned too, jacoby jones gave up the ball on his own 5... if the pats don't make those mistakes and brady is clean in the pocket, i dont see any team beating us

[rickyh24]

I honestly think this pats team is a god awful matchup for this Ravens D. How are they going to cover all the WRs plus Gronk and Hernandez? All the Pats need imo is the Oline to show up.

Their defense is good... do you remember how helpless we looked against the giants and the steelers? I'm not expecting that to happen, but you can't rule it out.

Our offense is human... if baltimore plays well against us, which they usually do, we will find some struggles through the day.

[pathetic]

but this is a completely different offense than when we played the ravens in 09 and giants in 07...

against the ravens in 09 the pats lost Welker the week before...he was pretty much the offense in 09...oh, and we added two TE's (their names seem to slip my mind...meh i guess it's not relevant)

no LB in football can cover welker/gronk/hernandez...not even close. the only way to do that is by playing zone and hoping brady doesnt pick it apart...like ricky said, there's no covering all those guys...maybe you can for a quarter or a half, but eventually they'll be open and for big plays

I completely agree with this. I would honestly say this offense is better than the the 07's. We have the the best TE in football and our second TE is easily in the top 5. When an offense has a good TE is creates nightmares for any defense--we've got two. Oh ya, and Wes Welker is a pretty decent receiver. I think his numbers were pretty good this year compared to other receivers.

nah, its just that one guy was "told about the flacco thread" and came in to reply.....probably 1st time ever in the sports threads. haha.

all ive said is that if the ravens play like they did this past weekend (and that was in their house), it wont be a close game. apparently im a moron for thinking that, and for not considering the past games. (irrelevant if ya ask me)

[cry_minarets458]

Yeah, it's week to week, I feel. I said that somewhere in this thread already. I'm just hoping that it was a wake up call. I mean, and I'm not using this as an example or anything, Kyle Boller almost beat the Pats the year they went undefeated to the SB, and the Ravens were coming off of a horrible 5 game losing streak. The Ravens showed alot of heart out of nowhere for that game, so that pretty much sums up that this sport is really week to week.

I'm just excited for another opportunity to go to the Super Bowl

I agree with this. Why was it such a big deal that we almost went undefeated in 07?

[magic stuff]

Definitely pulling hard for the Pats on Sunday, because I would hate for the HarSuperBowl. Can you imagine how terrible it would be to win the Super Bowl against your brother? You'd never be able to talk about how proud of it you were cuz it'd be gloating, not to mention all the bitterness the loser would have.

[dduncan6er]

Are you kidding me? If I won the super bowl against my brother I'd rub it in whenever I got the chance.

[magic stuff]

If me and my brother worked our whole lives toward something and one of us reached the top by personally beating the other, that would definitely take away from it for me, but everyone is different I guess. Especially if the loser never was able to reach the top thereafter.

10 yr anniversary for the tuck rule game today. Such a great moment.

True story. I was at the game and remember it well. I had just started dating my wife (took her of course) and it was a Saturday night game. Tickets had been re-released that Thursday morning before the game and somehow I got two in the 300 section. We were dressed in layers and layers of clothing. I actually a wore ski mask (the goggle kind) as the snow was that ridiculous.

We stood for pretty much the whole game. The aluminum benches were covered in snow. At half time I went down to grab beers and it was hysterical seeing everyone dressed like they were ice-fishing in Alaska and thank goodness I only peed once.

When I saw "the pass" I knew instantly it was going to be ruled an incomplete pass. But the funny thing was, is that while the refs were reviewing the call, I could see from my Bob Eucker seats hundreds of fans going through the turnstyle and leaving the arena. As soon as they officially ruled it was not a fumble and it was an incomplete pass, not only did the fans go bananas in the stadium, but you should have seen the hundreds of people turning around outside the stadium and running back in. It literally was like two events going on simultaneously and I could see them both happen from my birds-eye-view seats. It was the last game at the old Foxboro Stadium (Shaefer/Sullivan, etc.) and the last with the aluminum benches. We had gone to the game the week before vs. Miami thinking that that could be the last game as I don't think the playoff schedule had been set, and seeing some Pats players after the game and go to mid-field on the Pats logo and salute the fans was incredible.

I had been going to that stadium since I was a little boy with my dad--probably since 1979, 1980 (yes, I am older then most of you). I suffered through the Toilet Bowls with the Baltimore Colts for many years. To be on the cusp of a 4th Super Bowl after dealing with drunk idiots for all those years with 12,000 other fans (they didn't draw that well back in the early 80's) is very special.

Another true story: My dad was a season-ticket holder for many years until selling them. The day he got married, he took my mom to a Patriots game and then came back to the ceremony afterwards when the game was over. Absolute true story and my mom hasn't let him live that down even today.

i haven't been to a pats game in a couple years, but didn't they recently make the same rule the sox have. once you leave the stadium/park you can't re-enter?

i know fenway is like that now. once your tickets are scanned you can't leave the fenced in area around the park, if you do, no re entry

It's very possible. I just remember they had these outside turnstyles by the guard rail that were kind of in a random place and fans did a 180 and pushed through back. Whether they made it all the way back in is another story but the mass exodus out within minutes turned completely into a master cluster. Simply incredible.

Ya, I'm working full time right now and I could definitely do it but I made a commitment to someone this weekend that I really can't skip out on.

I think the Pats will be playing with a lot of confidence this weekend and will be operating like a well-oiled machine. One thing I haven't heard much about is how if they can run quick plays on offense without the huddle, the Ravens D will most likely get gassed quicker then other D's (in theory). Make them burn their timeouts and just beat them to the punch.

Semi-related, where do you buy tickets from during the season? Or do you just have friends/family that have season tickets and/or connections?

Just curious.

[dduncan6er]

I buy on stubhub for the most part. I know a few people with season tix though so I get asked if I want those every now and then, but this is my first game of the year.

Amazing.

Just got home and put on All Access. Really cool. It's live. From Kraft's house. That reunion with Drew and Kraft was cool. Channel 4 locally.

"The Brady 6" is on ESPN2 right now (not Australian Open like it says)... I've seen it a few times already, but it's a good way to 'pre-game'!

[DMBstandUP1984]

I was always a huge Drew Bledsoe fan. Pats fans that think he did more harm then good to the team are idiots.

[rconverse]

What's the Brady six?

[smudge1]

What's the Brady six?Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Bobby and Cindy.

[pathetic]

I was always a huge Drew Bledsoe fan. Pats fans that think he did more harm then good to the team are idiots.

The team was horrible when they drafted him. That's about when I started watching the game religiously. My pops said drew was gonna change this team. He sure did. Started the winning process before Brady and belichick started the dynasty.

[rconverse]

Ha! Nice.

[rconverse]

Yeah, why would NE fans not like Bledsoe? :confused

[rconverse]

Brady needs to keep his hair short.

[rickyh24]

almost time.

GAME DAY!!!!!!l!!!!! :multi :multi :multi :multi :multi

Wasn't your team knocked out last weekend?

[rickyh24]

I'm watching missed it though. Why is Marquis Daniels still on this team? Whenever he is in the game the lead just vanishes.

[rickyh24]

:lol:lol +1 \o

LA comes crawling back to real title town. It's ok we forgive you.

[cry_minarets458]

Good luck today guys. I hoenstly just hope it's a good game, regardless of outcome. If it's a hard-fought game, and Baltimore comes out on the nationally predicted side, it will make the bitterness a little easier to swallow.

[thebestauntie]

Why is Ochocinco inactive today? Or is it just because he sucks?

[rickyh24]

Ridley is inactive because he sucks.


Ocho went to his dads funeral.

[jackisback24]

Big game today but I think the Pats will roll. This will sound strange but I think the presence of the Pats circa 2001, in particular Drew and I'd say Troy as well, will serve as extra motivation for TB.

MHK is watching. Win it for Mama.

[thebestauntie]

Oh I didn't know his dad passed away. :(

[pathetic]

Chad said he wasn't that close with his pops but I thought the funeral was yesterday

[rickyh24]

I'm guessing he couldn't get back because of weather. That is the speculation I was hearing anyways.

[zajDmB1]

Anyone know a site that will be streaming the game for free and minus doing that stupid spam stuff? Thanks!

[rickyh24]

I think people use firstrowsports or something like that. Probably going to be ads though. Look around on justin.tv

This Ross Ventrone thing on ESPN right now is funny.

[redsox14]

So excited right now!!!

[jackisback24]

I love Boomer always going to bat for the Pats!:lol It's SHOWTIME. One more win for a dance in the biggest game of them all.

Go Pats.

[pedramzahipour]
