***OFFICIAL RAVENS vs. TITANS PLAYOFF THREAD***

[Nzoner]

If this don't get your blood to pumping I don't know what will,personally I haven't been this ready for a playoff game since the last time KC was in.I love great defense and these two are getting a nice rivalry going and I just hope this one lives up to the billing.

[unothadeal]

I really need Baltimore to come through to make up for another bet.

Tell me how these guys aren't the same person

[KCUnited]

Strange song selection considering Nivana reeks of unathletecism, but yeah this sould be a great game.

[DaFace]

I'll be at a hockey game for the first hour of the game or so, so hopefully it'll still be a good game when I get home. Maybe I'll DVR it just in case.

Oh, and go Ravens. I don't really have anything against the Tits, but they just seem too soft to be a SB team to me.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Dammit.

I'm rooting for the Ravens, but really want them to lose.

I know that makes no sense, but I'd like Clark to have a shot at DeCosta or Kokinis before February. And if the Ravens win this game, I honestly think they'll make the SB.

[warrior]

Should be a great game, best of the weekend. :thumb:

[OnTheWarpath15]

Trent Green is doing a damn good job for NFLN breaking down this game.

[Deberg_1990]

This game should be quite awesume. A Bloodbath.

Im gonna have to go with Flacco and the Ravens in an upset.

[eazyb81]

Hopefully Haynesworth and KVB are healthy.

If Tennessee's running game doesn't get going and Kerry Collins needs to make big passes, the Titans will be in trouble.

[DeezNutz]

Trent Green is doing a damn good job for NFLN breaking down this game.

This, or some other studio, is where he needs to stay, for his own good (and his family's).

[Nzoner]

Hopefully Haynesworth and KVB are healthy.

If Tennessee's running game doesn't get going and Kerry Collins needs to make big passes, the Titans will be in trouble.

Supposed to be near or at 100%,as for that running game the Ravens smothered smash and dash first go round this year holding the pair to under 50 yds total,I don't see that happening today,not saying they're gonna blow up but I think Fisher will have some answers.

As of last update it was also raining in Nashville.

[Nzoner]

NFLN has been showing the players arriving and Ed Reed was in yellow/gold suit and trench coat,looked like a modern day Huggy Bear.

[eazyb81]

As of last update it was also raining in Nashville.

It was earlier this morning but it's not raining now. It will definitely be a wet and slow field though. Not sure if that favors one team or not.

[blueballs]

I hope the TIts have Ray-Ray
wanting to look for the papers
he's being double teamed

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Who is everyone rooting for? I'm usually an underdog guy when my team, or a division rival isn't involved, but I'm rooting for the titties today.

[Marcellus]

Flaming Thumbtacks for the win Alex.

[unothadeal]

Ray Lewis is so intense.

[Fritz88]

I really need Baltimore to come through to make up for another bet.

Tell me how these guys aren't the same person

http://totallylookslike.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/aaron-eckhart.jpg

they are totally not look alike, did a blind person assemble this?

[BigVE]

What's with Pacmans eyes? Contacts?

[Agent V]

I really need Baltimore to come through to make up for another bet.

Tell me how these guys aren't the same person

http://totallylookslike.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/aaron-eckhart.jpg

No. Eckhardt looks like the guy from "Bones":

No. Eckhardt looks like the guy from "Bones":

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/chief103182/300px-David_Boreanaz.jpg

Yeah but it's not a matter of who they look like I just thought they were the same guy

[Buehler445]

I fucking hate Ray Lewis. I really do. But I don't like the Titans either.

Even though I don't like either team, but I have a deep respect for both. I'm looking forward to the game.

[Buehler445]

There is rain on the lens of the camera.

[Buehler445]

Ouch. Mawae is out.

[Basileus777]

Dan Dierdorf? Ugh....

[cdcox]

I think the 'tacks have all the advantages: more complete team, experienced QB, playing at home.

[eazyb81]

Real glad I decided to stay home and watch this instead of going to the game and sitting through crappy weather for 3 hours.

[Buehler445]

I think the 'tacks have all the advantages: more complete team, experienced QB, playing at home.

Ouch. Mawae is out.

Mawae is huge IMO.

[cdcox]

Powder blue towels do not intimidate.

[Buehler445]

Powder blue towels do not intimidate.

Trying to be like Pitt.

[Bugeater]

LOL, the Ravens are afraid to try to throw the ball.

[eazyb81]

Ngata is going to blow up Tennessee's line all day with Mawae out.

[cdcox]

Trying to be like Pitt.

FAIL

[Buehler445]

LOL, the Ravens are afraid to try to throw the ball.

It's early. Its not like Squirm doing it in the 4th quarter with a 3 point lead.

[Buehler445]

That should have been a personal foul.

[cdcox]

LOL, the Ravens are afraid to try to throw the ball.

I'm not sure I blame them on the first possession. But Flacco will have to make a few plays for the Ravens to win.

[eazyb81]

Titans need to pound the rock with Lendale "dance with me" White.

[Bugeater]

It's early. Its not like Squirm doing it in the 4th quarter with a 3 point lead.

With the 32nd ranked _efense.

[cdcox]

Just inexcusable for a vet on 3rd down.

[eazyb81]

Cortland Finnegan is going to beat someone's ass before the game is over.

[Bugeater]

Too bad, that was a hell of a catch.

[Ultra Peanut]

In many, many decades, when Cortland Finnegan dies...

[unothadeal]

There once was a man named Courtland Finnegan

[the Talking Can]

physical as hell, this game is

[alanm]

Will a frozen turkey really explode if you drop it in a fryer???

[cdcox]

Nice play. Get Johnson in space with low risk.

[Ultra Peanut]

C-USA running backs.

[Buehler445]

Will a frozen turkey really explode if you drop it in a fryer???

It will make a fuckload of noise. It wouldn't be good.

[tk13]

physical as hell, this game is
It's been everything that you'd expect, so far.

[cdcox]

Will a frozen turkey really explode if you drop it in a fryer???

That also piqued my curiosity. Not in a good way.

[Buehler445]

Alge Crumpler got FAT.

[Dylan]

hope collins gets a good drive

[Buehler445]

Fuck me, that was a good throw.

[eazyb81]

good throw by Collins.

[Buehler445]

TD tits.

[eazyb81]

Damn, Johnson is f'n awesome.

[Ultra Peanut]

Alge Crumpler got FAT.He's Mr. Lonely.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2d97kzk.png

[Dylan]

i brought him luck..... lol

TD TITANS

[Fritz88]

could Ed Reed be the greatest Safety to ever play the game?

[Ultra Peanut]

That was hilarious.

[Fritz88]

Titans got some serious balls throwing the ball like this.

[Fritz88]

Did I underestimate the Titans?

I think I did.

Love this game.

[ClevelandBronco]

7-0. Do it, Tennessee.

[ClevelandBronco]

Will a frozen turkey really explode if you drop it in a fryer???

Write a letter to Mythbusters.

[Tribal Warfare]

Did I underestimate the Titans?

I think I did.

Love this game.

Decosta will be interviewed sometime this week

[Buehler445]

McClain looks fast!

[Marcellus]

Lorenzo Neal looks like a 4' tall offensive lineman.

[Fritz88]

Decosta will be interviewed sometime this week

Shefter says we interviewed half a dozen people. I can't believe how Clark managed to keep it away from the Media.

[Fritz88]

Ryan vs Flacco? Who is better?

[Dylan]

Titans are eating them up

[ClevelandBronco]

McClain looks fast!

Doesn't matter if he can't catch a ball like that.

[Tribal Warfare]

Shefter says we interviewed half a dozen people. I can't believe how Clark managed to keep it away from the Media.

but he has no idea whom though because Marty was just a consultant so it was mere speculation.

[Buehler445]

FUCKING WOW....good pass.

[Bugeater]

Awesome play by the rook there.

[Ultra Peanut]

"THIS IS MY (OLD) HOUSE!" - Derrick Mason, 2009

That was rather nice.

[eazyb81]

That was a rocket.

[Dylan]

Lorenzo Neal looks like a 4' tall offensive lineman.


how many years has lorenzo been in the league? or-- how many teams has he played for?


TEE DEE Ravens nice throw

[ClevelandBronco]

Flacco gets to stay in the league for a while.

[Fritz88]

WOW nice throw by Flacco.

[Deberg_1990]

I know its waaay early, but im gonna go ahead and call it.


Chiefs really blew it on Flacco. They should have selected him over Dorsey.

[Marcellus]

how many years has lorenzo been in the league? or-- how many teams has he played for?


TEE DEE Ravens nice throw

15 years, 7 teams. :eek:

[Fritz88]

How the fuck did they Land Flacco. What a great QB.

[Ultra Peanut]

http://i41.tinypic.com/1sz8g7.jpg

[Dylan]

titans are picking the ravens defense apart

[eazyb81]

Chris Johnson is a MAN.

[ClevelandBronco]

The Ravens have no solution for the Johnson problem.

[Dylan]

15 years, 7 teams. :eek:


WOW!

thanks!

[Marcellus]

I know its waaay early, but im gonna go ahead and call it.


Chiefs really blew it on Flacco. They should have selected him over Dorsey.

And hindsight is always 20/20.

[warrior]

That was a rocket.

Yes it was

[Marcellus]

The Ravens have no solution for the Johnson problem.

Didn't Ten run for 200 on Bal earlier this year?

[Deberg_1990]

And hindsight is always 20/20.

Those are the types of decisions that cost people jobs.

Carl and Most likely Herm as well.

[Dylan]

is johnson close to 100 yds yet? damn

[Fritz88]

Some of the budlight ads are seriously unfunny.

and if I were a chick, I'd let Johnson and Flacco go at me. Hopefully, I would be able to bring a fast QB to this world.

[Marcellus]

Those are the types of decisions that cost people jobs.

Carl and Most likely Herm as well.

Then it was a good pick.:D

[tk13]

I know its waaay early, but im gonna go ahead and call it.


Chiefs really blew it on Flacco. They should have selected him over Dorsey.
Good call, Dan Rather.

Flacco is in a much better situation in Baltimore than he would've been in KC. He landed on a team that can pound the football with McGahee and McClain, and has an outstanding defense. He wouldn't have had either of those things in KC, he would've had to carry the team.

[eazyb81]

Horrible. They should have punted and put the pressure back on Baltimore's offense.

[Deberg_1990]

Good call, Dan Rather.

Flacco is in a much better situation in Baltimore than he would've been in KC. He landed on a team that can pound the football with McGahee and McClain, and has an outstanding defense. He wouldn't have had either of those things in KC.

Im not saying the Chiefs would have made the playoffs with him this year genious.

But they would most definately have a QBoTF.

[warrior]

whore :D

[Dylan]

(Titans) don't let the momentum shift

[Fritz88]

Ravens picking momentum. Good.

[Fritz88]

whore :D

What if I donated that fast QB to the Chiefs? Would that unwhore me?

[Dylan]

come on get up...

[Marcellus]

What if I donated that fast QB to the Chiefs? Would that unwhore me?

We have a fast QB. (For a QB)

[Bob Dole]

Never a good sign when the guy doesn't even attempt to roll over. Damn.

[warrior]

What if I donated that fast QB to the Chiefs? Would that unwhore me?

YES Yes it would :D

[tk13]

Im not saying the Chiefs would have made the playoffs with him this year genious.

But they would most definately have a QBoTF.
Not necessarily. Putting a rookie on a bad team versus a good team can make a huge difference in his development. Flacco put up what?... 9-21 last week in a playoff game. It's highly possible Flacco, who was a bit raw, would've put up numbers similiar to Thigpen, and then you would be saying he was a busted 1st round pick while the Chiefs get torched for passing on Dorsey, who many thought was the best player in the draft.

[warrior]

Man I knew this game would be a good one. :thumb:

[Bugeater]

What an incredible punt.

[warrior]

Good SP team play

[RJ]

That sure is a damn fine punter the Ravens have.

[ClevelandBronco]

"Don't choke on it," Payton.

[Dylan]

ravens starting to put pressure on Flacco -- that's never a good thing LMAO

[ClevelandBronco]

...Dorsey, who many thought was the best player in the draft.

So it ends up that many were very, very wrong.

[tk13]

False start, 18 inch penalty, still first down.

[Marcellus]

That was close.

[Marcellus]

Ravens are smelling blood.

[tk13]

So it ends up that many were very, very wrong.
Way too early to tell. Especially with a defensive tackle. I shouldn't even be having to make that point.

[warrior]

:D An almost

[Marcellus]

Wham! 1st down anyway.

[007]

DAMN!!!!!

[ClevelandBronco]

Holy hell, Ray.

[tk13]

Wow. Vicious.

[Dylan]

OMFG what a hit J.C. Ray give it a rest you'll kill someone forcryin'outloud

[Frazod]

Damn that was brutal.

[RJ]

Damn, Ravens could have used a hold there. Helluva hit though.

[Baby Lee]

Ho Li Chit!!!

[007]

What a dumbass.

[Bugeater]

Damn, they tried to snap that dude in half...

[Frazod]

Horseshit penalty.

[Marcellus]

Dirty game so far.

[007]

Damn, they tried to snap that dude in half...Refs did nothing about it either.

[Marcellus]

I would sit White down.

[warrior]

Horseshit penalty.

Bad call

[Frazod]

GAGE! :mizzou:

[Rain Man]

Apparently Ray Lewis is allowed to hit runners in the face mask and Ed Reed is allowed to assault players who are down. I can't believe they called a penalty on the Titans when Ed Reed should have been ejected.

Go, Tennessee. Get those cheap-shot Ravens out of there.

[007]

Damn, and they were pinned on the 18 inch line too.

[Frazod]

GAGE! :mizzou:

X2

[Marcellus]

Go Kerry, Go Kerry......

[tk13]

LASER! by Kerry Collins. Dude can still wing it.

[warrior]

Vince who?

[Marcellus]

Apparently Ray Lewis is allowed to hit runners in the face mask and Ed Reed is allowed to assault players who are down. I can't believe they called a penalty on the Titans when Ed Reed should have been ejected.

Go, Tennessee. Get those cheap-shot Ravens out of there.

QFT

[ClevelandBronco]

Kerry freaking Collins.

This is just unbelievable.

[Dylan]

That shut the Ravens Def up

Reed just woke up the Titans on that cheap hit

[007]

Apparently Ray Lewis is allowed to hit runners in the face mask and Ed Reed is allowed to assault players who are down. I can't believe they called a penalty on the Titans when Ed Reed should have been ejected.

Go, Tennessee. Get those cheap-shot Ravens out of there.Yeah, I was for the Titans going in but now I want them to completely annihilate Baltimore.

[Marcellus]

Kerry freaking Collins.

This is just unbelievable.

Fisher is a hell of a coach. Best one to not win a SB.

[Rain Man]

Breaking news: Chris Johnson is really, really good.

[kcxiv]

Son of a bitch Collins is picking the Ravens defense apart. His passes are pin point accurate.

[unothadeal]

Old school physical fucking football baby. Doesn't get much better than this.

[Bugeater]

LP field? How many different names has the Titan's stadium had?

[007]

Where are the refs in this game. geez

[007]

Stay down you POS.

[unothadeal]

Wow, cheering for an injured player. Classy fans.

[cdcox]

Collins pwns Suggs.

[Dylan]

awwwwww Suggs just got busted in the mouth! LMAO

[the Talking Can]

the fans are cheering suggs injury

[Marcellus]

You gotta throw that one away. Suggs is down. Wow. Kollins > Suggs.

[chiefs1111]

Suggs hurt

[Frazod]

Where are the refs in this game. geez

I think the refs are afraid of them.

[warrior]

Old school physical ****ing football baby. Doesn't get much better than this.



True That:thumb:

[beach tribe]

What a rivalry. Awesome football. Go TN.

[keg in kc]

I didn't realize how much I disliked the Ravens. What a bunch of thug bitches. I hope Tennessee pulls this off.

[cdcox]

Gage is shredding the Ravens secondary.

[Dylan]

when collins is hot, he's hot

Go Collins!

[tk13]

Wow, cheering for an injured player. Classy fans.
I think part of that was Suggs had been taunting just the play before.

[007]

I think the refs are afraid of them.Pussies.

[Marcellus]

The center needs some ridalin.

[Frazod]

Gage is shredding the Ravens secondary.

You think they'd trade us Gage for Franklin?

[007]

I think part of that was Suggs had been taunting just the play before.Definitely.

[keg in kc]

Classic Kerry Collins there.

[kcxiv]

Then he makes a bad bad play. lol

[007]

ah fuck

[Frazod]

Fuck.

[Marcellus]

That was dumb. He looked like Fave there.

[the Talking Can]

that's the dumbest pass i've ever seen

[cdcox]

And there's the old Kerry Collins.

[Rain Man]

Samari Rolle has a narrow spinal column, or he'd be playing for us.

[007]

spoil a brilliant drive with that shit.

[Bugeater]

Meh, that was basically a punt.

[Fritz88]

"new year's is for players who did not make the playoffs"

[chiefs1111]

horrible pass

[Marcellus]

Shit. McCarrens was open too.

[unothadeal]

I could live with either one of these teams winning

[ClevelandBronco]

Son of a bitch Collins is picking the Ravens defense apart. His passes are pin point accurate.

Most of them...

[warrior]

shit

[Ultra Peanut]

The Titans are getting burned by former Titans.

[Marcellus]

Samari Rolle has a narrow spinal column, or he'd be playing for us.

Yea we got Surtain instead.:shake:

[chiefs1111]

brought down by the freak

[RJ]

Impressive one handed tackle

[Frazod]

Good thing Mason was out of bounds.

[mylittlepony]

The center needs some ridalin.

I think the Kevin Mawae is injured. Its their backup in playing.

[Fritz88]

Am-a-zing Blitz!!

[Marcellus]

Flacco has a cannon.

[Marcellus]

I think the Kevin Mawae is injured. Its their backup in playing.

I forgot. Good point. Still needs to chill. He has had 2 bad snaps so far.

[007]

yardage means squat if you don't score.

[Rain Man]

Yea we got Surtain instead.:shake:

Didn't Gunther tell Rolle he could compete with William Bartee for a starting spot? I think Samari might've won.

[RealSNR]

What happened to these awesome ass defenses we were promised?

[kobebehar]

errr, proper spelling is gay.

Nice Collins. You know Ive had it up to my ****ing urethra in oldass QBs who throw retard balls. But they're on good teams so they "know how to win"

[Fritz88]

What happened to these awesome ass defenses we were promised?

It's not that we are not seeing good defense. It's that we are witnessing some amazing offense, very unpredictable.

[Dylan]

titans have been driving up the middle all day

[unothadeal]

Wow the first half flew by.

[Fritz88]

errr, proper spelling is gay.

Nice Collins. You know Ive had it up to my ****ing urethra in oldass QBs who throw retard balls. But they're on good teams so they "know how to win"

Welcome to CP. Interesting 1st post.

[RealSNR]

Welcome to CP. Interesting 1st post.Welcome to CP, n00b

[warrior]

What happened to these awesome ass defenses we were promised?

It's part of goothers 10 year plan;)

[Marcellus]

Welcome to CP, n00b

LOL. I was thinking the same thing.

[RealSNR]

And yeah, the offenses are impressing me. I thought Tennessee's ground game would need a lot of help from the pass and so far both pass and run are working independently with some success for the Titans.

[Marcellus]

Security better be stepped up after this game. Ray Ray may want some blood after Tenn hangs 30 on them.

[Dylan]

What happened to these awesome ass defenses we were promised?

they're playing tomorrow at 1 :D

[Marcellus]

they're playing tomorrow at 1 :D

That should be a good game.

[kobebehar]

That first one wasn't really a bad snap, that was Kerry Collins all the way. if homeboy has to move his hands farther than his dick length, he starts crying and whining to Tiki Barber.

But Gage is rocking the casbah, and Johnson's a man, Titans win this thing by ten in an uncompetitive 2nd half.

[Bearcat]

It's not that we are not seeing good defense. It's that we are witnessing some amazing offense, very unpredictable.

Yeah, I tend to hate these types of games because the offenses don't even show up... so it's great to see a defensive battle along with some good drives.

[Marcellus]

Wow. That could hurt.

[the Talking Can]

couldn't happen to a bigger fat piece of shit

white fumbles

[chiefs1111]

ravens get the recovery

[warrior]

WoW way to end the half

[RealSNR]

Nice, Lendale.

First Tennessee goes for it on 4th and 8 when they're in field goal range and then Lendale poops in his helmet

[cdcox]

There's your defense. 7 -7 half.

[Dylan]

That should be a good game.

it's anyone's game -- giants & eagles fans know that all too well

I would have liked to see the giants play someone else -- just because the teams meet so often

[Fritz88]

touchdown eagles.

[kobebehar]

thanks dude. Im a palsy of SNR. Im the NOT gay one.

[Ultra Peanut]

Smash? More like Crash, as in wreck, M I RITE!

[Dylan]

There's your defense. 7 -7 half.

the penalties are killing the titans j/m/o do you think?

[RealSNR]

thanks dude. Im a palsy of SNR. Im the NOT gay one.Dude, I know somebody who has a kid with palsy. Not cool.

[kobebehar]

Nice, Lendale.

First Tennessee goes for it on 4th and 8 when they're in field goal range and then Lendale poops in his helmet
****ing exactly, that 4th and 8 was retarded. Lendale was sloppy as shit with the ball, when he made his cut the ****ing ball swung out further the Ray Lewis's switchblade.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I didn't realize how much I disliked the Ravens. What a bunch of thug bitches. I hope Tennessee pulls this off.

I can't wait until we have a defense that fans of other teams call thug bitches.

[unothadeal]

I can't wait until we have a defense that fans of other teams call thug bitches.

This.

[Dylan]

touchdown eagles.

The best team will win. They're both excellent teams -- and they're both having problems.


if you take away westbrook's 71 yd screen pass against the vikings last week-- then what do you have?

nobody knows which Giants or Eagles teams will show up tomorrow --

[eazyb81]

Why does James Brown always say "Shann-ON" instead of just "Shannon"? It's really annoying.

[Buehler445]

I can't wait until we have a defense that fans of other teams call thug bitches.

ME TOO. But in the mean time, I still hate Ray Lewis.

[Buehler445]

Why does Shannon Sharpe speak? It's really annoying.

FYP

[Bugeater]

if you take away westbrook's 71 yd screen pass against the vikings last week-- then what do you have?


A 2 pt win instead of a 9 pt win? :shrug:

[007]

A 2 pt win instead of a 9 pt win? :shrug:ROFL

[Dylan]

I can't wait until we have a defense that fans of other teams call thug bitches.

and you will. this is a great place for a GM to come in and make a huge statement.

[unothadeal]

bump

[warrior]

ROFL

You get an A in math today. ROFL

[cdcox]

tits can lay wood too

[007]

heh, would have been better off giving them the INT.

[007]

i wondered about weather he might have bobbled it on the way out.

[Frazod]

Hmm, I was wondering if he got both feet down.

[warrior]

i wondered about weather he might have bobbled it on the way out.

me too replay

[007]

damn. Titans just can't get any points even with their offense clicking.

[kstater]

That was a fucking bomb.

[RealSNR]

Baltimore just isn't effective. At all.

[keg in kc]

Tennessee's in real risk of losing a game where they should be up by at least 2 TDs.

That's why I hate this style of football.

[the Talking Can]

it feels like there is going to be a fight after each play...this is great

[the Talking Can]

Tennessee's in real risk of losing a game where they should be up by at least 2 TDs.

That's why I hate this style of football.

sure feels familiar doesn't it?

[unothadeal]

What happened to Johnson?

[keg in kc]

it feels like there is going to be a fight after each play...this is greatYeah, it's great to watch as an outsider. Hell of a game. I suppose I should clarify that I love watching games like this as a fan in general, but I don't want a team I follow playing this kind of battle of attrition football.

[keg in kc]

What happened to Johnson?Something about his ankle.

[eazyb81]

Titans are really starting to piss me off.

[warrior]

What happened to Johnson?

That's what I was thinking, no running game.
