They gave him a good run defense grade though...
Re: How we should attack the Patriots
We can't win this game comparing stats or player history or coaching performances. We have to win this one on guts and emotion. If guys like Ray and Ed and Haloti and Suggs can reach down somewhere and relive some past glory, we win. Otherwise . . . It's tough to beat Billthecheat twice in one season. And they are home. And the network and the NFL want the Patriots in the SB, not the Ravens. No conspiracy; just human nature.
As usual, hoping the team makes a fool of me.

It's not about Ray or Ed. It's about Flacco and the offense who btw are pretty damn good.

So you say we win by outscoring the Brady Bunch? I hope you're right, but that will happen only if our D (see above) can slow down the Patriot's O.

I think its about winning LOS on both sides of the ball, that has been the common theme in thier last 3 games vs NYG, INDY and Denver.
Re: How we should attack the Patriots
It really doesn't matter that Gronk is out. The Patriots always find ways to plug other guys in to fill holes. Brady will get his yards and TDs like always. Key every single time we play them is to disrupt Brady's timing often enough by rushing him and jamming his receivers to force FGs and limit the damage. Some pressure on him personally will cause turnovers and the classic Brady move of short-arming his passes into the dirt. On offense, we can and will score as long as Wilfork is contained.

If it didnt matter, why did they give him a 5 year 50 million contact. It's a huge loss, ask any NE fan or press member. You wont hold NE to 17 Points at home, but its a big loss. Thier is not one player who can cover Gronk on the Ravens. They can key on Hernandez now. They will get thier 23-30 points, but not 40. If they score 23-30 points the Ravens will be in the game to the wire.
