A week out & Ravens fans seem a tad pessimistic - Page 3 - The Orange Mane

Peyton Manning's history > Broncos history?

We'll see, I guess. It appears Manning trumps our woes. However in some cases the two together were better. For example the Chargers have owned both Manning and us for the past several years. And yet united we destroyed the Chargers.

I think we can beat this team. They remind me of the Buccs except with a worse QB.

I suspect you are correct. Not sure if we can run the table. Do it think we are quite there yet with quality players and depth.

Have always believed it will be next year and the following year after a couple more quality drafts. And a UFA here or there.

Flacco may not match up well unless Rice can gouge us, which is a possibility because he is so explosive and powerful. But Flacco just a sitting duck in the pocket. He is an old school style QB that plods along when he scrambles. If his protection breaks down enough for Doom and Miller to get in on him I think he will struggle big time.

On the other side I'm not sure Ravens will get to Manning enough to keep us from scoring about 28-31 points. I just don't think the Ravens can keep up with the Broncos.

I sure hope you are correct the sum of two parts is enough to do it.

Our recent histories still whisper in my ear that the sky is falling.

I am pretty confident about this game, you can be damn sure Manning is telling his guys just how much he would like to have a week off while New England, Indy, Baltimore and Pittsburgh beat up on each other.

RedskinBronco · 12-10-2012, 11:43 AM

I forgot that ray Lewis might be back. If I had ONE concern; it's the emotional lift he will bring

Dude Tatum Bell carried him when Lewis had two good arms, Moreno's got this.

What is sad is how the Jets have a easier path to the playoffs then the Bengals or the Steelers.

No he didn't. This is a popular myth in Bronco lore. Tom Nalen was carrying Bell with Ray Lewis draped on both of them, into the endzone.

I think we can do this and agree that we do need to win if for no other reason than we need to show we can beat a good team. But I'm not going to freak if we don't, being a wildcard isn't the end of the world. Just ask the 97 Broncos.

Regardless I STILL want Houston to win tonight. It's the Pats. Expose them.

Inkana7 · 12-10-2012, 12:30 PM

I don't think location or time will really matter. When it comes down to it, the better team will win, and our guys are focused in on this game. They'll come out playing as well as they can, and I think they're the better team, and will win.

You really can't tell when people are joking can you?

I know it wasn't a serious comment but people still repeat that like gospel. When you go back and watch the play, Tatum wasn't carrying anyone. Really when did he ever?

As of right now weather shouldn't be a big factor:

Sunday A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 52. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Oh ****, you probably don't remember Ed Reed's annihilation of Moreno a couple years back. That will probably be in the back of Moreno's mind...

cutthemdown · 12-10-2012, 01:45 PM

Moreno a weak link even though I juiced him for all those points last week in my fantasy league. I'm not sure i have the guts to start him 2 weeks in a row and against the Ravens. Even though they give up yards they still have a mentality of playing physical and IMO Moreno acts like he is tired after the first hit. Also is it just me or does he still look to the sideline all the time hoping to come out of the game lol. Maybe I am just imagining that. lol
