If you wanna be the man, you gotta beat the man (I want ravens thread)

I don't fear the Ravens - just wish we were facing them full strength. Sucks being this banged up for a meeting with them. We have a great rivalry with the Ravens and it is one where you want to see BOTH teams at full strength, or as close as you can get in the NFL. I want a win but will be pleased if we can hang in there for 60 minutes and play tough. I am just going to do my best not to have an ulcer if the refs determine the outcome of this game.

I'm not scared of the Ravens. They don't look even close to the team they were last season. Beating them is necessary if we want the #2 seed and the first round bye, but that's all the game means for me.

I see many of you already wetting your pants for next week and possible playoff match up. why? this is what NFL is all about. teams feel the same way about us.

Ravens are worthy adversary. they are the champs. Don't be scared, and just welcome the challenge. they are the team to beat in AFC as far as I'm concerned. They are type of team who can neutralize great QBs and they are team on the rise.

I really want us to play them in the playoffs. I don't want no bengals, colts, or dolphins. I want the champs. i want the team that beat us twice in the playoffs in past 4 years. give me the best.

because if you want to be the man, you gotta beat the man.

I'm scared of the Ravens. Harbaugh and Flacco have our number and have played us tough going back to the 2007 undefeated season when they should have beat us on Monday night. They whooped us from the opening snap in 2009. We barely got by them in 2011 to get to the Super Bowl and they picked us apart last year as well.

As banged up as we are I still like our chances against Denver, KC, Indy, Miami and Cinci more than I would want to face the Ravens in the playoffs. A win on Sunday would put them out of the running and make our lives a lot easier in January IMO.

You're right, their defense looks much better than last season--by far.

We don't exactly look to be the same either, so I'm sure their fans are saying the exact same thing.

This is a must win game that can define the season for us, but every yard will be challenged. Let's hope they come to play.
