that Madden 2008 has been 2-0 for the playoffs thus far and it has the Ravens getting beat by the Steelers in tomorrows playoff match-up by a score of 24-20

This time they are counting on us to be beat down, this time Madden will be wrong
Baldinger picks Ravens
Sharpe picks Steelers:hammer:(does anything ever change?)

Just about everyone is picking the Steelers, hell, I think half the Sun writers are. I was listening to Sirius NFL radio Friday night on my way home, & Pat Kirwen & Tim Ryan were on there doing their Movin the Chains show, & you would have thought you Balldy. Chris Berman did pick the Ravens, which was shocking. It's us against the world, & I love it!!!! Go Ravens, shove it down their throats!!!

More of the sun writers choose the titans (If I remember correctly all but 1 or 2). This game was 50/50 by them.

Collingsworth picked the Ravens. He said he was gonna ride this dog till it drops and it may not.

I think it is going to be a blow out. They are who we thought they were and we let them off the hook, this time we are going to Clown em.

We should have won the first 2 games despite bad games by Flacco. This time he has a good 2 td no pick game and we win big.

Well...I checked the ESPN Madden 09 simulations site throughout the season to just see how it thought the games would pan out. I recall that it was more wrong than right for most games. It's time for all the analysis, talk, predicting to be over with...let's get the game on!

Why do you care what the media thinks anyway? All indicators say it's a close game and the line moved to 6.

Or maybe Shittsburgh has a pretty good D?

Houston...would you stop with the "why do you care what people say" posts?? Jesus...this is a discussion board...let people "care" all the want whether you understand it or not.

Look...today is a huge game, people are ansy, nervous, whatever...if it helps them vent on here so be it.

Settle Down, dude. Im nervous too.

Im being serious when I ask. I do not understand it. Like you said, it is a discussion board and I want to discuss why people care. How am I stopping people from caring by asking the question?
