Wild Card Weekend: Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens

[JMC00]

ya too bad for the ravens you don't win games during players entrances

 

[randomk1]

Oh damn...i tuned in halfway through Rays entrance.

 

[Ring 6]

OK, now that Dancing with the Stars is over, can we play football and watch Lewis get run right over?

 

[JackBauer]

Neither of these teams are particularly good, IMO, so accordingly not really concerned about who prevails.

CBS is showing the entrance of all the ravens player with ray lewis in the end. Just hilarious showboating team....hate it.

Seriously...what the hell was that. This is an NFL playoff game not the pep rally, Go Colts!

 

[102 Pat]

Were they really just playing Nelly for the intro? 2002 called and they want their music back.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Ray Rice thinks each Raven player will give 150% because its Rays last home game.
He also thinks the coaches have decided they will now call the best game of thier lives because its Rays last home game.

Sounds like their borrowing that big "ON" switch the Giants used so effectively this year.

 

[randomk1]

Why so much hate? Ray's a legend

 

[SVN]

Ray lewis couldnt have waited for the season to be over to announce his retirement? He made it more abt him than his playoff team and already inked a deal with espn but of course no one is going to call him out on that.

Did anyone notice the patch of natural grass kept at the entrance so ray lewis can pick it up and rub on his uniform since the field itself is turf ? ...hahahaha

Take a good look at both teams. The Colts have little or no chance against the Broncos. So yes, I want the Ravens to win as their defense has the best chance against the Bronco's.

I have taken a look at both teams. Neither team has much of a defense right now. The Ravens already gave up 27 points on defense to the Broncos and it could have been much more if it wasn't a blow out (31-3 at the end of the third and 34-10 with under 2 minutes left in the game).

You comparing a team was a horrible defense with a team with a bad defense. I'll take the hotter team and the better offense in that case. If it comes down to either the Ravens or Colts beating the Broncos on either of their defenses, the Broncos can already make the preparations to host the AFCCG because neither team have the defense to beat the Broncos. They both have arguably the two worst defenses right now in the playoffs. Of the playoff teams left, only the Redskins have given more points than either the Ravens or the Colts.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Speed game start for Colts. Good. Spread them out, wear them down.

Edit: Wait ... who am I rooting for???

 

[Rob0729]

I never understood this, especially when just last year the pats didn't beat an above .500 team until the afccg

Isn't that the point? The Pats really didn't face anyone until the AFCCG and even then needed a few breaks to get to the Super Bowl. Even though I think both the teams playing today are so-so the Broncos will face a tougher road in the playoffs than the Pats did last year.

 

[Rob0729]

Didn't the Colts win the toss? I don't know why the didn't defer. With Arians gone and the Ravens' defense pumped up with Ray Ray's retirement intro, the smart move was to defer and let the Ravens defense cool down a bit.

 

[patriot.de]

Let's see how much impact lewis has on this ravense defense.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Lol ravens home playoff flags already here.

 

[nabwong]

How is that a PI?

But the pats were a yard away from winning it all despite it all. Just think too many people are downplaying the broncos too much.

Theres some home cooking from the refs.
