Denver Broncos vs Baltimore Ravens : Strategery Thread: Pravda Reboot

[Bronco Rob]

In a amazing game that no one could possibly see coming, the Ravens somehow pull off the upset of the century and beat the Colts at home. Looks like Denver might see the Ravens next week. In case they do, as a contingency how do the Broncos plan on beating them?

Shut them down in Baltimore last month. This time around Lewis, Suggs and McClain should help in the running game but beyond that not much has changed. Hopefully the "let's do fot Ray mojo" is spent beating Indianapolis today, not that it would save them from what's in store a week from now. In a perfect world we beat them by a couple of TDs without having to show too much of our hand since the template is already in place. Shutdown Ray Rice, make Flacco beat you with his arm, on offense run the ball keep em honest force them syphon off help to their already depleted secondary. The only TDs they scored were late in the fourth in garbage time last game. PFM should have a field day as will the defense after they build a sizable lead.


Broncos 37 Ravens 13

Broncos need to avoid:
WRs with the dropsies
RBs with fumblefingers
LG and RG with blitz brainfartz
LBs that overrun plays
DEs that don't play the run
and safeties that cannot recognize & stick with TEs.
we fix those and we'll be awesome.

The game was tight until the pick six before half...

I'm concerned about the Ravens playing for Ray.. But I like that it's a home game.

They would have won if we had not scored so much.

Stop the run and force Flacco to do his best Mark Sanchez impression.
Get Moreno rolling and let Manning do his thing.
Unleash VonDoom

Game over.

35-10 Denver

Last game kept Rice under 40 yards, held Boldin to zero catches, Flacco had a dismal day as well. Looks like RR has a case of the fumbles, the defense did a good job generating pressure on Luck. Kuper is back, Manning was only sacked 21 times with 19 of those coming while he was out of the line up.

No slow start. I would much rather take their hearts out early instead of letting them have hope in the 2nd half.

Sweet first paragraph asswipe.

I expect a tight game for a 1.5/2 quarters. Joe Flacco will **** the bed, and the stars on defense are too old to bail him out for an entire game.

Broncos 27
Ravens 14

I honestly feel that with all of the comfortable wins to wrap up the regular season, Denver hasn't really shown the 'good stuff' to be used against them on film.

Rat birds are doomed.

upset of the century? Wow.

http://linemakers.sportingnews.com/odds
Ravens were favored by all the major books.


Anyhow....The Broncos have opened as 9.5-point favorites against the Ravens with the total set at 45.

Manning >>>> Flacco. That's all you need to know.

Hoping to hold off on the "good stuff" until the Texans or Patriots come to town.

Expect the Ravens to try to attack our edge with Pierce...i think he will be their "X-factor"

As for them, they better hope Manning has an off day. There's no secret to what we do, you can try to fool him, but he'll figure you out eventually. If im a ravens fan, an off day is what i can hope for, and maybe you can figure out how to get penetration up the middle without blitzing. They didnt the first game.

Manning owns the Ravens. Even pre-Manning we have beat the Ravens at home in recent years. The Broncos were fine tuning this week. At home, with two weeks and that crowd that is literally going to be going insane, at altitude - I think we handle them.

The Play for Ray mantra ran its course today... jsut ask Indy how easy it is to ride the same emotional wave two weeks in a row .. on the road no less against a superior team.

The Ravens wont have ANY of that mojo next Saturday at 5,200 feet where Ray Ray .. and the rest of their aging D ... will really start to feel his/their age and realize it really is time to hang it up!

[Hulamau]

None of their corners can hang with Tammie and Stoke with Manning throwing them the ball ... much less Decker and DT!

PS .. I very much expect to hear Ed Reed is hanging it up after they get run out of Mile High. He just doesn't want to rain on Ray Ray's parade by announcing it officially now.

Screw strategy.

Beat the sh*t out of the Ravens.
