We're on to Baltimore

[Brady_to_Moss]

That was true of the Brady we all knew from a decade ago, but not the current one. At some point Brady turned into a diva and it seems like a receiver has to bend over backwards to gain his trust. Some of the balls he forces to Gronk are just ridiculous and the old Brady just wouldn't do it. Still love him, but I see the difference. I think it is part of the reason why we struggle to break 20 points in the playoffs because other teams see it as well.

Brady is a diva.....how?

Go away troll

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

so nervous about this game....
would suck to be one and done. lol

Don't be nervous...be confident like we should be....we are a dam good team. Always a chance to lose...but i highly doubt this team is 1 and done this year...

If we win, instead of dumping a bucket of ice Gatorade on BB the players should dump a barrel of bleach on Terrell Suggs.

let's rob his mangoes!!!!

I'm just stressed. Im stressed with my crappy job, I'm stressed with school and now stressed about this game

Sorry about the job and school, however, the game is one of your positives. Even if the Patriots lose it is a positive. If you don't believe that then reach out to a Bills fan or a Raiders fan or another team's fan that hasn't played in the playoffs in eons, hasn't tangibly been in the mix for a SB in many many years. I tell ya, getting the chance at a playoff game watching 'high' is a relatively rare treat. People go through a lot of things/action to get the kind of passionate enthusiasm high that a Patriots' fan gets from a playoff game like this.

My advice is enjoy these moments while they last. One day BB will be gone making chances a little too good that 'stress' over a playoff game will be missing for extended periods of time not experienced in 14 years (hopefully I'm wrong about that).

I can refer you to a good therapist if you ever want help with that masochism.

Masochism is the raiders board, the ravens are more necrophiliac......

So we're chicken littles if we don't think Pats win 59-0?

Yes


That's what pretty much everyone has said. Anyone who doesn't believe they will win by 58 is a ****y.

I've seen some Ravens fans posts over at NFL.com, ESPN, and their forums in general, and their general feel about Gronk is this:

• Given that they covered/contained well Antonio Brown last Sat in Pitt, who was the #1 WR on rec and yds this year, they can do the same to him.
• Given that Will Hill, one of their safeties, blanketed Jimmy Graham earlier this year, he can cover Gronk 1-on-1.

Oh boy, they could be up for a rude awakening Sat afternoon.

What do you guys think?

I know several "divas." Not one gets up at 5 a.m. Not one works out twice a day on vacation. Not one takes media criticism and deflects it from his teammates. Not one shrugs off compliments after having a successful outing. Tom Brady is not a diva, just a perfectionist.

The receiver has to be where he is supposed to be. He is supposed to shed a jam without losing time. He is supposed to catch a ball he can get his hands on. The OL is supposed to give the QB three seconds to throw on average. The checklist of requirements goes on and on.

There's no one on the planet who expects more from Brady than Brady. He just expects it from everyone else too.

Anyone wanna hear a fun fact?

Outside of Pittsburgh, Baltimore's record against winning teams this year:

0-6.

Ya but apparently according to pretty much everyone that does not matter, only thing that matters is how they beat the Pats in the playoffs 2 and 5 years ago.

He could use the bleach for his teeth.

I know your a fan and have been here awhile, but no life buoy I can throw you will save you from this post.

So damn excited for this game; I'm bouncing off walls. My gf is ready to shoot me. Some days I wonder if she regrets turning me into a football (Pats) fan.

Saw this a few minutes ago. Maybe if Belichick hadn't recommended Harbaugh to the Ravens, we wouldn't have had problems against them in the playoffs: http://nesn.com/2015/01/john-harbau...commendation-for-ravens-job-meant-everything/

Well, he could always tell Ozzie to fire his ass.

One thing I remember from the Dolphins game in foxboro is that Miami came out throwing deep at our secondary. Maybe they were targetting butler but they had some success and had some easy drops as well .Probably the only team which did that to us from the get go
