[Hasselbeck]

Patriots start to conquer the Harbaughs by beating Baltimore (and then San Francisco)

fuck this game :facepalm:

 

[PG24]

Don't think the Ravens are going to be able to continue this run. Patriots are going to win this game by at least 10 points. Tom Brady and that offense are absolutely killing it, and are locked in on the same page.

I'd love to see both brothers face off in the Super Bowl, but I think Baltimore left it all on the field in Denver. They've suffered through a lot of injuries this year, and now a double OT game at high atmosphere. Patriots have got to control the clock on Baltimore and wear the defense down. If they let Baltimore hang around, it could be a game. After this past weekend, you can't count them out completely.

I really don't think this is the same Ravens squad that is a team to be reckoned with.

That said, the Ray Lewis miracle tour is in town and in a one and done format, I'm still a little nervous.

Baltimore isnt that far from New England and they are both outdoor teams. I dont see it being too much a factor. They know eachother well.

Oh my fucking god... these idiots never learn:

"New England does some suspect stuff on offense. Can't really respect it. Comparable to a cheap shot b4 a fight," Ayanbadejo tweeted.


"Ayanbadejo, who did not record a tackle in that contest, posted several tweets stating that he "Can't Wait!" for the latest rematch between the rivals."

:lol:

 

[Price]

Pats should be able to win, but i'm nervous.

I read this thread and it sounds like the Broncos thread... guess people never learn.

Will be a close game but unlike my prediction last week. We tend to own Tom Brady (he's thrown 7 INT's against us in our last 4 meetings).

Ray Rice finally shows up this week against New England. Flacco continues to not turn the ball over, we should win. Should be a great game though, when you play New England... you play the refs.

long careers

 

[Len B]

we should win..

:nope:

9 point dogs 'shouldn't win'. It's possible, though.

What does NE fans need to learn? :walker:

Can't think we're going to win?

Green Bay was also like 10-1 vs San Fran in the playoffs. History means nothing. Previous results have no factor on Sunday's game. None. Zero.

Ray Rice finally shows up this week against New England. Flacco continues to not turn the ball over, we should win. Should be a great game though, when you play New England... you play the refs.

Play the refs? Cause the refs didn't just slobber all over Houston's dick?

You got here cause Rahim Moore is terrible, shouldn't even be. Don't forget that.

Excellent point by Jim Rome on Twitter. Flacco isn't in the argument for GOAT in anybody's book but he would be getting shredded in the press if he had thrown the pick that lead to the Ravens losing as the #1 seed and heavily favored at home. Instead, the press is going to give Manning yet another MVP award that was more deserved by another player.

@jimrome If Joe Flacco had Peyton Manning's 9-11 playoff mark, we'd all be killing him.

Flacco deserves more respect than he gets from the press.

 

[Woy]

Ravens pull it off, because why not.

 

[Villain]

Harbowl 2.0 let's go!

 

[Influence]

No one will be able to stop this guy

 

[EmpireWF]

Flacco will stop himself.

Brady torches the Ravens D, Lewis cries with Reed and Bellichick laughs maniacally at topping Harbaugh #1.

 

[ralaw]

Baltimore, because according to Ray Lewis we have God on our side and everyone knows Brady is an Antichrist/heathen.
