Re: How we should attack the Patriots
3rd down conversions for both teams. Limit turnovers or create them and ST's will decide it. Also, who makes the BIG Play?

Is this the first time they are focusing on this? They have been giving up the long ball all year.
Re: How we should attack the Patriots
Not nearly as much as they did, once talib joined them. Some of that was due to the qbs they faced late in the year, so we'll have to see. I expect flacco to hit a couple of times. More than that and the ravens will win.

First 8 games = 21 long balls
Last 8 games = 15 long balls
Improvement statistically, but still suspect.
First half of the year they faced Flacco and Peyton. The second half wasn't a exactly murders row of quarterbacks with the Dolphins twice, Jaguars, Texans and the Jets twice. The other 2 games are the Colts and the 49ers. The Colts can air it out but laid an egg in that game. The 49ers were able to run on you so the passing attempts were low. I'm not buying your argument. They'll be tested since it is reasonable to analyze them and perceive this is a weakness.

Talib is not as good as people are hyping him up to be.

No, but he isn't a matador either.

Neither was Champ Bailey. The Ravens will still get 1 on 1 shots. They aren't scared of Talib.

Wrong, wrong wrong, Thanks for playing, we now can add you to our list of over enflated ego pat fans who think they can talk about the Ravens, acting like they know everything.
