BB in his office preparing for Ravens as we type.

So from what i've been reading and hearing Pats shouldn't even show up next week and should just forfeit.

I mean they should at least show up in jeans for the after game shake

Eh I'm not worried about the Ravens. Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are gone.

I'm worried about our o-line, and I will be until we reach and win the Superbowl.

Wouldn't be worried about them at all vs Pitt, Denver, Indy or Cincy.

This game's not even over yet...

Brady is gonna go Liam Neeson on the Ravens next week - hence the trailers for a Taken 3.

FYI the "Taken" series is based on true events... First the Ravens took a shot at the SB from Brady, then the Broncos took it away, and this year he will be "taking it back" with his "particular set of skills."

Did you fall?



And when will people stop messing with that guys family? Taken 53 will be on before we know it

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Pats will shut down Ravens O

Biggest winner tonight....Denver Broncos....now they get Dalton or Indy at their place

Steelers didn't exactly show signs that they'd give Denver much of a game.

Baltimore is a tough matchup for us. Tough, mean, and athletic. I have real doubts on wether we can beat them.

Then don't watch it.

Suggs is, undoubtedly, the ugliest human alive.

...and is married....

There is hope for every man out there if that marries something

Offensive face mask lol Joke!

 

[Joker]

time for some ratbird pie...

But I don't think the Pats' o-line will be patchwork. I expect them to be healthy for the first time in a month.

And I haven't been all that impressed with the Ravens' pass rush tonight. Brady is not Ben Bledsoethlisberger who stands in the pocket for 3-4 second on every play. They have gotten to Ben a bit, but a lot of it has to do with Ben staying in the pocket a long time on every pass.

Rob, with all due respect, when HAVE you been impressed with a Pats' opponent? This Balt team is about as tough as it gets for a 1 seed's playoff opener. Compare with the Colts or Bengals who would have a snowball's chance to come in and get a W.

@AlbertBreer: And Baltimore advancing is probably worst case scenario this weekend for the top-seeded Patriots.

It was a great season, guys.

Screw you Dean Pees.

 

[West Philly Patriot]

You're better off ballwashing punk-ass Japanese donkeys than trying to be a Patriots fan.

You're freaking people out. Seems obsessive to put it mildly.

 

[Rob0729]

You are quite the confident one.

I see it being an absolute dog fight, which it will be.

Why wouldn't I be confident. The Pats are one of the two best teams in the league. The Ravens have been inconsistent at best and they were lucky to face the Steelers with their best offensive weapon out making them one dimensional.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Steelers bout to go a forth straight year without a playoff win.

...and is married....

There is hope for every RICH man out there if that marries something

FYP

The AFC divisional games are far from a lock. Ravens can beat the Pats and Colts can beat the Broncos.

Man... I'm gonna be nervous all week
