So Baltimore is saying they're going to play "grimy" football today?

This isn't the 2011 team. This one will hit back. Baltimore starts taking cheap shots, Browner especially needs to answer in kind. I want to see the Patriots come out and physically break Baltimore right from the start.

GO PATS!

Pass to Gronk. Run to Gronk's side. Hell, RUN Gronk.

@KenAlofoque: “@AKinkhabwala:Ravens coach Harbaugh told his team last night:The Patriots don't understand what kind of game they're about to get into.

Battlecry! AAAAAUUUUHHHH

 

[Froob]

Absolutely cannot lose this one. Most scumbag organization in the league.

 

[KamikazeKnight]

Let's do this.. GO PATS!

I'm sure Belichick let the team know behind closed doors what the Ravens have been saying. Going to be interesting to see how physical the Patriots come out to answer. If there's any game for Browner to give the internet the gif of all gifs, this is the one.

Who hits Flacco the hardest today? Hightower? Ayers? Jones?

 

[bigballas]

concerns? only one...do i want to make trip to gilette next week in the cold for championship game or enjoy from home because today we are gonna stomp some ravens

 

[Bradyking12]

Oh yea lets get it started

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Can we time warp 3.5 hours and get this game started already?

I'm trying to keep myself busy (with a lame leg so it's a bit harder), but time seems to be progressing at a fairly slow pace.

 

[PATS16N0]

I really like Michael Irving now. Anyone see him come out and shut down the negative nancyisms earlier on the pregame. "Look, Tom is the greatest post season quarterback EVER. That's what the numbers say."

Faulk and Warner went limp.

I can't watch pregame anymore. So sick of hearing how physical the Ravens are and how we don't want to face this team and how if the Ravens are going to turn this into a rock fight and we won't fight back. Guess what, we are going to turn this into a rock fight first! This is not the team of the last few years that you punch in the mouth and wouldn't punch back, this is the team that punches other teams in the mouth, kicks them when they are down, take their enemies lunch money and beats them again because they can. Sterling Moore isn't coming into that door, Julian Edelman isn't going to be playing defensive back this time, nope. This time on defense our Gillette no fly zone is here, and Revis and Browner will be playing the boom. Ayers Hightower and my main man Jaime Collins are going to wreck shop all over the field.

And on offense, we have the most dominant weapon in the league. Good old 87. He is healthy, and you can't defend him, and if you worry about him, LaFell and Edelman are gonna run wild. I am worried about the line, but I think we will find a way to slow this rush down and do work.

This feels like the Bengals game all over again. People think we are dead in the water, but this team isn't the Pats of the last few years. Sit back and enjoy the ride that starts today folks.
