nfl.com's version of the match-ups of every position and the only area we hold according to them is the QB match-up

I can't take them serious after they put their RBs above ours, i mean seriously? and their coaching staff is definitely not better. did they come up with the wildcat? or take a 1-15 team to 11-5, very laughable

We didn't come up with the Wildcat, but we sure did tame that kitty ;)

And I'm being as unbiased as possible, but I agree with every one of those picks. Don't be surprised by the RB's pick either...we averaged over 40 yards more per game rushing than you did, and two more rushing TD's.
Chad gets the edge over Joe, I think our coaches are even, and the rest belongs to us.

But really, who cares? The games are played on the field, not paper.

The Ravens run the ball more and Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams both have higher yard per run average than Mclain and Mcgahee, Brown is more versatile too.
 
Our backs are more involved in our O in different ways.... Wildcat, as WR's... you get what I'm saying....

RavensD is right though what matters is what happens on field
 
I don't know how they can give the coach edge to Harbaugh when Sparano has obviously less talent and the teams have the same record. Its pretty much ridiculous.
 
How about our left tackle? Ours is a pro bowl nominee
 
i can't wait till sunday! When miami pulls off an upset! Its funny im even calling it an upset when miami is a division champ and the ravens got in with a wild card bid.

I don't think he's saying McGahee and McClain are better than Brown and Williams. I think he's saying they will be more effective, and he's probably right. We don't run block very well. Our guards are good when they get to the second level, and Satele maybe the best downfield blocker of any offensive lineman in the NFL, but they get overpowered in the trenches. That's why we went with the Wildcat in the first place. I agree with this part of his assessment.

The only parts I really disagree with are receiver and coaching. Fasano is now playing at a level at least equal to if not better than Heap, and he's getting better every week. Martin (if he plays) has become a very difficult matchup for any team. Bess just keeps doing what he does. London came up huge last week, and is absolutely fearless. The wildcard here is Ginn. Will we get good Ginn or bad Ginn this week? If it's good Ginn, he will have a definite impact on the way the Ravens defend us. If it's bad Ginn... we may have a really hard time pulling this one out if we get bad Ginn.

And coaching. Sparano has kept this team focused all season, and has instilled a level of accountability and trust that surpasses anything I have ever seen before. We have been intentionally letting teams stay in games all year long, and only 3 times has the offense or defense failed to step up and get the score or the stop when we needed it - I'm discounting our loss to the Jets because it was the first game, and the loss to AZ because we were out of that one in the first quarter. And the units have complete faith in each other. The defense knows the offense will score, and the offense knows the defense will get the stop. Harbaugh has done a tremendous job in Baltimore, but Sparano has done more with less than anyone. He is an amazing coach, and should get COY.
 
Yeah, if we go all the way people will be saying we had a weak playoff schedule :)

Harbaugh is amazing; I wouldn't expect people outside of our organization to realize that.

But for what it's worth, Sparano gets my vote for coach of the year.

But this one will be different I am going to say.

Cuz We won against teams that sucks than Ravens... so I don't blame Non-Dolfans to think "So what"

When we did play Ravens this season, we lost Big.

If this time we win, I know a lot of Respect will be earned!

A lot of people respect Ravens more than us, just cuz they are ranked very high in offense/defense.

After his performance this year, our LT is being compared to Jonathan Ogden by a lot in our community.
Which is ridiculous if you ask me, since Gaither is a second year player, but the point is that he's a huge reason why our pass protection and run blocking is so effective.

Who cares if other people don't give you the respect you want? Let your play on the field do your talking. That's something NOBODY can take from you.

Believe me, I feel your pain...all I hear about is how great Pittsburgh is, even after they stole two games from us this year due to BS officiating.
