New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens Divisional Round Thread

[STAN JONES]

This is the one team I didn't want us to play but fukk it

Suggs and Doom gonna have to ball out

offense gonna have to play better too

We not gonna beat NE playing conservative

 

[Raquinotj]

Baltimore beat up AFC South and the NFC South teams, they only beat two teams with winning records this season: the Steelers in Week 2, and the Steelers in the playoffs. Pats 28 Ravens 17.

Flacco just like Eli. They're okay in the regular season, but let these nikkas sneak in the playoffs & they look like the 2nd coming of Joe Montana. And like Manning, Flacco is usually Brady & Belechik's achilles heel in the playoffs but the one thing that should help is them nikkas got Revis now.

How the Jets doing, have a coach and GM yet?

Ha I wish. Gotta say, you think Ozzie made the right choice going with Harbaugh over Rex?

Styles make fights man, when you get to the playoffs this sort of thing doesn't matter.

With that being said, the whole BMore dominating NE narrative is setting up too nicely. Ravens front seven is gonna have to dominate for them to have a shot

Gronk going for 150 yards

Lafell going for 100 yards

Blount going for 150 yards

















Aaron Dobson going for 200 yards

I'm sorry but you guys are hedging your bets on Brady getting crushed the whole game. What if the OLine shows up, Brady will carve that secondary to pieces.

and that's a great bet...

That NE oline been garbage against every good front 7 they played this season...Even the Jets manhandled them twice...

The only thing that inspires confidence for NE is Joey Flaccid...He could throw a couple of pick 6s for you...

I would've much preferred to play the Bengals or Colts

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

and they say the NBA doesnt have parity.....same teams every year smh

i actually did a study on this some years back as a research project with advanced stats comparing the leagues..turned out the MLB had the highest degree of parity even though they dont have a salary cap.

its hard to isolate the variables though...MLB has a minor league system and even their most important position (SP) isnt as important as the most important position in NFL (QB) or the best player on a team in the NBA (generally). the thing is really about stability at QB and i bet that if i dragged that study out more it would show that the most successful NFL franchises in the past 15 years have had the least amount of change at QB (and perhaps coach to a lesser degree).

its worth noting the afc north played the nfc south this year

baltimore has not beaten quality teams.

They handled the Lions pretty well, mostly by running and throwing screens and outs.

We have a Healthy Gronk and a solid D this year. Torrey/Jacoby/Steve Smith and Co ain't gonna be running wild on Revis and Browner. We had no Gronk and Talib was hurt that last time they beat us. I like our chances.

They had great field position all game long in that one cuz Stafford was Stafford...

Lions had like 5 TO's in that game...

Ravens 24-21 pats
