Didn't Flacco fumble off of Zuttah's helmet?

Zuttah sacked Flacco twice.

This is the best Pats defense we've seen in many years. The offense needs to be humming for this one.

Totally agree.

I understand your point. The expectation then is for Forsett or Pierce to beat them to the hole/crease before that free runner can get to them. I will also say that even though going head up on Wilfork is not prudent, KO did a good job against him in the 2012-13 AFC title game.

Lol truth.

Aiken, Brown and Campanaro will have to make plays in this game for the Ravens to win IMO.

i believe they have 7 first round draft picks on that defense. It's legit.

It is. They add guys like Talib and Revis every year. While we constantly troll through the scrap heap.

For an organization that hasn't won anything in 11 years you're giving them way too much credit. Tell me who else they've added besides Talib, Revis and Browner?

This game will be won and lost in the trenches. We all know how Joe plays when he's protected. When he spends the game running for his life he makes mistakes (like most QB's).

If Monroe is back that will be HUGE to get Yanda back inside. Either way they have a great front 7, but so do we.

We did a great job yesterday in the trenches and that's gonna need to continue.

Wilfork isn't what he used to be, but is still a game changer. Zuttah will need help

Wilifork can still be dominant when he wants to. When they played KC this year, I watched the first couple defensive series for the Patriots and VW made a handful of plays that had to be seen on replay to be believed. My favorite came on a run that went to the side VW wasnt on (because really, who runs AT someone like VW) when Vince pushed a guard completely into the backfield, ran across the formation behind the line and ran down the RB from behind before he hit the seam. Yeah.

On the other hand, either VW wore down by halftime or had simply given up on what became a blowout win for KC.

Zuttah better get his shit together. I couldn't stomach wilfork wrecking another game.

**ursula** · 01-05-2015, 08:17 AM

I just do not see Zuttah having a good game next week. He's still better than Gino but somehow the offense needs to scheme to minimize his responsibilities.
