Pats VS Ravens
Gonna be a great game. If the same team shows up, I can't see the Ravens, or any of the remaining teams beating them. Big "IF". The defense still scares the hell out of me. Ravens D, scares me as well. I was fortunate enough to score tickets to the game, FREE, anyone else on S-B going?

That sounds great, it really does. If it wasn't for the fact, they were free, and it's an AFC championship game, i'd be watching it in the comfort of my own casa as well. I think it's pretty neat, that i'll be at the game that could get them to the Superbowl.

I think it will be a great game. the D must show up but every on this team pivots around brady's performance. If he's "on" we win , if not , well .....

Should be a good game for sure. Hoping the O line will be able to hold off the Ravens D. They know Brady cant throw the ball from the ground. Their secondary is good enough to cover in a man defense and can make up ground in the zone. But if the Ravens can come up with an attack that gets them to Brady we're going to have a problem. The good thing is the Ravens have Flacco behind center...thats a Patriots advantage all day.

Saw Welker on TV yesterday. he wants all Pats fans to grow a mustache for the game on Sunday.  I think its to bust Flacco's balls. Surprised he didn't get in trouble with Bill for that . He has history so hard to claim its innocent. Anyway , i already have a mustache so I'm all set!

If they lose the "O" line needs to pummel him and then feed him to Wilfork

My wife is going. She got an invte last night from a vendor. AIG luxury box! I'll be hosting a small get together at our house. Can't wait! Pats win 28-17 but do all their scoring in the second half after spotting the Ravens 14 in the first half.

Tha's what I'm afraid of. the ravens got a good running game although their O over all is not great. I hope we do not spot them 14 in the first half and then struggle to come back against a very good D.
Anyway , as I run this game through my head , its that slwo start that scares me the most. I want them to come out and crush them right off the bat like they did Denver!

if the get behind 14 on that team.. they loose.... Playing ahead and keeping Ray Rice from controlling the game is the key to victory... their D is older and a touch slower .. but it still is one of the best in the NFL....Brady and co. need to crush kill and destroy all hopes before the first half ends or it will be ugly.. I still think the Ravens keep it close with a heavy dose of
Ray Rice to keep the " Golden child{T sizzels words} " off the field..

I think there is some value to kicking if you win the toss so that you get the ball to start the second half. Now if there is some field advantage like a strong wind or poor lighting at sunset you need to take that into account too. I also see where getting the ball and scoring on the first drive of the game is a good stategy if you pull it off. To me , the advantage to getting the ball to start the second half is that you get to make adjustments at halftime based on player and coaching input based on what happened in the first half and what they learned from it upon analysis. I think that makes scoring on the first drive of the second half more likely than on the first drive of the first half.

Pats have to spread the field, forget the run for the first 10 minutes. Then go w/ a back, play action playaction play action. They have a number of backs that offer different looks. Dink and dunk all day. Keep the ravens offense of the field for a long time. I know, sounds crazy, but they are getting old, run the D down early in the game so they are s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g wind in the 4th. Thats when you break them open. So far as the D for the Pats, stack the line early and often rush everyone, the cb's can hang w/ these wr's, bring chung over the top for the puto's sprinting down the field
