Wildcard Weekend - Sunday

[Lestat]

i gotta say, the Colts coaching staff has done a hell of a job this season.
because this Colts team is clearly not overly talented and has major holes.
they need so many pieces it's not funny. a RB to pair with Luck, OL to protect him, DL to stop the run and DB's who look for the ball and make plays.

Chris Harris held him to 0 catches for 0 yards

Lol. The Ravens will be lucky to come within 3 scores of the Broncos.

Flacco will be lucky to be sacked less than 10 times and picked less than 5. The crowd is gonna be hype

No Broncos fan should be worried, unless they are flat pussies. I don't want to hear about bye week let downs, snow storms, or stupid intangibles like a douche bag, all be it HOF LB, retiring.

Manning has few opportunities to squander, he knows it, the team knows it. They destroyed this team in Baltimore. The only thing different is Ray Lewis is back and has a retarded face mask that he thinks looks tough.

[spiralism]

The arrogance people have in our team is slightly worrying...Lest we forget Jacksonville 1996... #1 seeds in the AFC have a terrible record and a team on fire only stands to lose momentum on a bye. Write off Baltimore at your absolute peril

Patriots don't scare me. it's a rematch and we have home field.
the Packers scare me because they know how to turn it on and click in the playoffs. plus their WR depth will stress any defense.

the 49ers do somewhat but they have essentially a rookie QB playing.
but that D is for real.

Nice. I did not remember him standing out in that game and numbers reflect it.

[Jetland]

also very excited to see Terrance Cody attempt to play in the 4th quarter after a game of no huddle #suckingwind

[Vine]

Due to stupid rule, that should remain incomplete after the review, but from a competitive standpoint, that should be a catch. He caught the ball, went down, and the ball only came out after a Raven defender nudged into him.

[SonOfLe-loLang]

That should be a catch. He caught it through and the other defender kicked it out while he was rolling. They probably won't call it that way, but I think that's a bad interpretation of the possession rule

It's nice to be confident for once in the playoffs. Whether or not you think it is arrogance it has absolutely ZERO effect on the outcome of the game. I would rather be a man and show confidence ahead of time than tuck tail behind the leg and worry about a whether we choke or not. Reach down and see if you have a pair.

[Sarg]

Ravens don't stand a chance against the Broncos next week, not worried one bit about them!!

[rideco]

yea that should be a catch. his elbow was down and had full control IMHO.

That's more like it GL, they both have real QBs that can make it a rough day on nearly any D that isnt playing at top tier level.

But we have a more balanced team than either of them. We just need to at least score with them and keep it close until the second half .. if not grab a solid lead from the outset ... when the cumulative effects of a tough D and Manning keeping the pressure on and the NE or GB suspect D starts to falter, specially at home against NE, but also in the Dome against GB, if it comes to playing them.

First things first though, we need our focused commitment to STOMPING these Ratbirds who have now shot their 'Emotion' wad in this game and will be ripe for the pickin's next week.

[Vine]

"Process of making the catch" stupidest NFL rule ever.

[SonOfLe-loLang]

The "possession through the catch" is so arbitrary. So dumb. That's a catch

Baltimore is garbage on the offensive side of the ball. Stop the run game and they're porked. I can't see them scoring more than 14 on Denver's D.

We were up 31-3 at the end of the 3rd qtr. 14 garbage time points isn't scary.

Cosign.No fear going against this reincarnation of the Ravens. I can't wait to watch them sweep the tricep on that murder. I still think Luck is going to be a top 3 QB in the league in a year or two, but he's getting next to no help in this game (other than Reggie Wayne). The Colt's line is like a sieve, there have been numerous drops. The receivers aren't coming back to the ball to help him out and with the exception of one decent run, Ballard basically looks like Lance Ball's twin.

Defensively, Cassius Vaughn is getting destroyed. That's not going to happen against Champ or Harris.

Can't wait to watch Brian Griese XL next week get demolished by Von/Doom.

How could you not remember him standing out. He got inside Bolden's head and drew an Uneccessary Roughness penalty

[Lestat]

yep, the Colts need some serious talent infusion.

[SonOfLe-loLang]

It's the playoffs, any given Sunday. Baltimore is here for a reason so it'll be tough. But we are a superior team with a vastly superior qb. We should beat them
