Default Is anyone actually afraid of the Ravens?

People on here seem to be pissed about the fact about playing the Ravens. Yeah their D is good but their CB's SUCK. Is there a realistic chance they will actually beat us at home?

No, but they are a tough, physical team. I'd rather get into a track meet in the wildcard round than a smashmouth game. Especially with the next opponent coming off of several weeks rest.

There corners do suck, the Ravens would need to put Brady on his ass throughout the game to have a decent chance of winning. Their front 7 is capable, but they dont particularly scare me no.

you should be more concerned with Ray Rice from Rutgers running and receiving for the Ravens. "And Rut-roh!"

This year, the Ratbirds always find a way to lose. Very undisciplined team.

I'm not afraid of any team, but the Ravens may be the team I'd least want to play first round after the Squealers. They almost beat us in Gilette earlier in the season and it seems like a physical matchup that could take a toll, even if we win we'll be facing a fresh team the following week.

I don't know about fear but every team would be tough. The broncos eviscerated us in denver...I think they'd be easier at sea level on the road (for them), but even they would be tough.

Steelers aren't really that good although they do blitz a lot and that could result in tom terrific being battered a bit.

But anything can happen.

Wacko Flacco has a rifle arm and played pretty well in the first meeting.

I'm not sure that many are "afraid" of the ravens. We would prefer to play Denver.

Actaully, I might prefer that we play Jacksonville, but that is a long shot.

Yeah, the Ravens are a scary team to play. Good pass O, good D and lot's of veterans. Plus, if you are superstitious, we have yet to lose a playoff game at Gillette and yet to lose to the Ravens period. I don't like any of those factoids, even my special unwashed undies can't ward off those facts, we're due.....
