Why waste your time? You know how it ends. Sell your tickets now.

Christ! Half of you guys are ready to stick a gun in your mouths. This ain't your Daddy's Ravens. They have a lot of talent, but coordinators who don't know shit. The D is one of the oldest in the league, but the DC insists on a 3 man rush for the entire second half of games...they're ready to drop over in the last 5 mins.

Do you think its a coincidence Drew Brees and Philip Rivers improved by leaps and bounds when Cam Cameron was no longer their coordinator?

We have a mediocre offensive line, and Flacco holds the ball way too long...don't sweat it. This game is going to be 'opportunity rich".

No, but at of this point in the season, to me, it seems that the Raven's are much more physical team all-around than KC is at of this point. The only thing that is hurting Baltimore, IMHO, is that they're slowly changing the philosophy from running it hard to air'ing it out. Still, Baltimore has good quality players.

Underdogs in our own home stadium.

At least somebody sees it. :D

No, I think we will have to overcome some obstacles to win the game... but I don't think the public in general realizes how poorly Flacco has played in the playoffs... and the fact that these Ravens don't blitz quite as much as when Ryan was running the defense. Of course we'll make Flacco look like a superstar and your defense will probably blitz 75% of the time. The biggest issue will be handling the Ravens physicality at the line of scrimmage. Our other big problem is handling teams with a great vertical passing game.

Not too bad for "OLD DEFENSE." It's not unwinable for the Chiefs but it will be uphill all the way. In the words of Clint Eastwood, " A Mans, Gottta know his limitations."

Any given Sunday....

This is interesting...

I honestly thought Cam Cameron was a good OC.

Keep in mind Flacco was injured in two of the four play off games he has been in. Flacco hass been looking much better through the season after hid meltdown in game 4 (Cinci). And yes, Mattison does not blitz as much as Ryan, and they are not nearly as exotic or well disguised. If Mattison does not wear them out the starting Dline is tough to move. But, Mattison may decide to activate as additional secondary body and drop seven in the box. This will assuredly wear out the big men if it happens that way.

No doubt this will be a tough game for us. Not only will we be fighting on the field, we will have to fight off the inevitable stupid play calling and generally stupid decisions by Cam and MAttison.

Redstar, how are your special teams? Kicking off and punting can be a bitch in our stadium in cold weather.

Hey, the D is not dead yet, just being miscoached. Mattison calls a lot dropping seven and it just wears out the big boys.

More Cam hate...

How does your team do against draws and delayed draws? Haley loves that shit.

Special teams is definitely a strength. But I don't think David Reed our KR is going to playing, and thats a big loss for us as he was pretty high in avg yrds returned. Otherwise they're pretty good.

Koch is a helluva weapon, Cundiff is going to the Pro Bowl (for whatever that's worth).
