Time to let that pony run


If isn't good enough, so be it

I'm going with Vegas, we'll keep it close in a low-scoring game and lose by a field goal.

My choice is based completely on the ass-raping that Baltimore delivered to New England last year in the first round.

IMO this is what it's gonna boil down to. Barry Richardson needs to step the **** up a x do his job. If he is able to protect Cassel without help, that will allow Moeaki to play a big role in the passing game and that will keep their defense honest and unable to stack against the run. If he starts out getting owned like last week, Moeaki will have to play a bigger role as a blocker in pass protection and that takes away one of our better weapons in the pass game.

We need to be able to effectively pass the ball to win this one and Barry Richardson is the weakest link in the chain.

If Barry Richardson plays the game of his life, we can win this one in convincing fashion but if we shits the bed like last week, we may be in for a long day.

They are not leaving B-Rich one on one with Suggs.

That guy is gonna be doubled the whole game most likely.

I see your point but they will have to try in order to soften the Ravens Run D otherwise I think we are "up the creek". Alot of mismatches getting McCluster underneath is another way to get the Ravens run D to soften as well.

Actually, I think this game is going to be about trying to make sure that Ngata doesn't wreck our shit.

That's what I'm most worried about. I hope Wiegman is on PEDs for the week.

Well Claywhit say's you have to double Suggs and you are damn right we will have to double Ngata. So you have 4 guys committed to 2 people, I don't like those odds.

Gotta screen and throw the underneath sh** creating mismatches with Charles and McCluster in order to soften the Ravens run D.

Ngata is the Ravens best player, so he's priority #1.

You double Ngata on running plays, double Suggs on passing plays. You don't have to double them both at the same time.

Ngata will be giving Cassel a colonoscopy on every passing play I'm afraid because Weigman doesn't have his "bitch slappin O-line of 2004". He is going to throw Weigman around like a rag doll when Cassel has to drop back.

Waters had a ****ing awful game last week, so he needs to get his shit straight immediately. We absolutely have to have him at his best.

Steroids would be better but that is too late now

Optimistic guess, 27-24 KC. I think we'll match up with them well offensively, but our defense will be as Jekyll and Hyde as it's been all season. I'd give us a potentially wide edge in coaching.

My hope for the best, prepare for the worst guess is 31-13 Baltimore. Veteran playoff team comes in and dominates a young squad who folds under the pressure of their first playoff shot.
