dude i wouldn't get too pumped. i was there last weekend and even after the first quarter when the skins were smashing the seahawks i was on the highest of highs. and 2 hours later it was the lowest of lows. it still is bothering me and it is 5 days later lol.

just saying, be careful because you never know.

I hear ya. If the improbable happens and Broncos lose, i will be miserable to say the least. The beating i take on here will be bad too. Still. Right now im pumped and cant wait to get up early and getting drunk for the game. Not too drunk mind you. Gotta be able to celebrate after

Last year, after NE destroyed the Broncos, you disappeared for a while. You'd think you'd learn your lesson by now.

Except last year he had Tim Tebow, this year he has a real QB and one of the best, clicking on all cylinders and playing AT Denver, nice ride Ray but it ends Saturday...

Do you recall what i was like after week one of the playoffs last year? Where Timmy destroyed the Steelers with the first play of OT? Because thats more like what ill be like tomorrow after the beatdown the ravens take. Last year. That first game was also in denver and i was also at that game. The next week versus the patriots was a diff story.

You can go back to the threads from last year and i guarantee you wont find me with a modicum of confidence in Tebows ability to go to Foxborough and even come close to a victory last year. But i knew there was always another year and another time.

You can also look at this thread a couple pages back where i acknowledged being worried about the pats even tho its back in denver this time.

Even if we lose to New England next week (which i acknowledge at least as a possibility) there will always be next year.

But tomorrow? Not worried. Just not.

Even if I'm hoping for a different outcome, I found this onion article amusing. I figure a few of you might appreciate it as well.

My picks for this weekend. I'm picking all Home teams.

Ravens at Broncos (easy win for the Broncos)
Packers at 49ers (tight close game won by a field goal)
Seahawks at Falcons (Falcons start out big but barely win it)
Texans at Patriots (another close game Patriots squeak by)

wow are you serious? so because he didn't throw for 400 yards with 5 td's he had a bad game?

so because he went 17/28 with 204 yds and 1td/0ints you consider that bad?

a qb is also a leader. they do a lot more than just pass the ball for statistics. he leads the team to victory. not to mention, 1 of the rushing tds was an audible that peyton called at the line of scrimmage after he saw the defense.

oh man, what a "worst" game to have leading your team to a 34-17 victory when 14 of the defenses points were in garbage time.
:
can't even really take your football talk serious anymore.
If you knew how to read correctly, the fact of the matter is that Manning hasnt had big games passing against B.more as evidenced by his past 3 games.
They will force other guys to beat them which Im ok with. Btw, how does it feel to be watching the Ravens in rhe playoffs for a 5th straight year as a Skins fan? It's not too late to convert to a real team with a real coach.

The last time Ravens had a huge playoff game like this one Joe Flacco did great. It was Lee Evans and Billy Cundiff who screwed the team over.

Yeah, that sucked. My roommate wouldn't talk about it for weeks. Still, if bad Flacco shows up we're in trouble. If good Flacco shows up then we're competitive. I know, I know, thank you captain obvious.

I think this game is going to be much more competitive than the regular season game against Denver. Flacco generally steps it up during the playoffs, the o-line situation has been fixed and some key defensive players have had more time to get healthy. If I had to bet I'd still bet on the Broncos but there's a good chance it'll be close.

I wouldn't disagree with all that. A sensible Ravens fan for once.

Definitely. I see a lot of reasons to be more optimistic compared to that game; Pollard, Ellerbe, and Lewis back in on D. On offense, Smith (left early in that game) will hopefully play all game and Yanda is back on the oline. I don't know how much a difference this other bit makes, but that was also Caldwell's first game as OC.

That being said, there's a reason most people are picking the Broncos. I believe the Ravens can be competitive, but I wont be surprised or (overly) disappointed if we lose.

Baltimore at Denver - broncos ( will be rooting for ravens though )
Green Bay at San Francisco - packers

Seattle at Atlanta - seahawks
Houston at New England - patriots

if you are a betting man take the oppsite of what i pick and make some money
http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/ne/new-england-patriots

Actually I agree with all your picks. I'll be rooting for a Ray Lewis super bowl but it will most likely not happen.

Green bay and Denver again in the Super Bowl?

Anyone know of a good way to watch the Denver/Baltimore game online? I'm out of the country, it's too early in the morning to find a place here to watch the game, but I would still like to watch a little bit of it.
