Re: GAME THREAD - Wild Card edition - Ravens/Pats
Stinger: I agree with the "bad" feeling, but maybe we just don't want to get our hopes up!
Also, we NEED to run the ball and just pound them over and over all game! It may be their strength but it is OUR strength. I hope we man-up and just shove it down their throats.

Not really. They give up over 100 yards and 4.4 average on the ground a game. I like Rice and McGahee going up against a Defense like that.
Re: GAME THREAD - Wild Card edition - Ravens/Pats
Their secondary is pretty bad too though. Hopefully we can get the run game going, then go with some play action and exploit some of their weakness at CB.

But that's also without Wilfork in the lineup the last few games. He's healthy and playing today.
What's the over/under on Demetrius Williams seeing the field today?
Re: GAME THREAD - Wild Card edition - Ravens/Pats
We get Jim Nantz and Phil Simms today. Thank goodness for that.
Re: GAME THREAD - Wild Card edition - Ravens/Pats
We will know early on what Cam's plan for today is going to be....We have been run heavy but we all know that Cam is capable of going against what some of us feel is the strength of the team.
Re: GAME THREAD - Wild Card edition - Ravens/Pats
I really hope Harbaugh and Flacco aren't too proud to sit Flacco if his injury is so limiting that we start suffering on offense...
If Joe can stand in the pocket and make all the throws, then he should stay out there. But if he can't, I'd rather have Troy Smith go out and play "safe" in the passing game, that way Smith can take off and run if our protection breaks down.
Given how he's looked to just about everyone in warmups, it's a push on whether he can survive the whole game.

Over/under 2.5 play
I'll go with under.
Re: GAME THREAD - Wild Card edition - Ravens/Pats
Pats defer, Ravens will open with the ball.
Re: GAME THREAD - Wild Card edition - Ravens/Pats
Not positive but it looked like David Tyree was a captain out there. Pretty amusing to me considering the ''catch''.
Re: GAME THREAD - Wild Card edition - Ravens/Pats
Pats win the toss and defer...so we get the ball first. I never understand this defer option...isn't this just electing to kick first, which was around before?
Re: GAME THREAD - Wild Card edition - Ravens/Pats
Surprised that Kruger is inactive. Would've liked to see us try more passrush options.
I'm drinking already.
