I was looking at the Ravens schedule and we are the best team (according to record) that they have beaten.... One could argue that Philly is better than us right now, but the record says otherwise...

Just like us that have fattened up on losing teams... I was browsing the Ravens messageboards and most of them are giving us no respect. I especially liked this line..... "i expect Clayton to get 150 yards and a TD as he will be getting by Andre Goodman all day"

I hope the Ravens review tape as well as that joker.. I cannot wait for Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont sleep on how good the Ravens are. Their D is every bit as good if not better than the Steelers. Id say thats the two best defenses in the league, not going by stats, just by watching them play. Offensively, they run the ball much better than the Steelers, while the Steelers have the better passing offense. So to me, they are as tough as any team in the league, if not better.

In fact, I wouldnt be shocked if the Ravens went all the way to the Super Bowl and definately not shocked to see them in the AFC title game. If we can beat these guys, there isnt a team left in the playoffs that we cant beat.
 
I'd say the #1 thing going for us is that the Ravens game earlier in the year was honestly our worst game all around. Pennington was very timid and didn't find the open man. Defense got ran over, passed through, and down right manhandled. Not one running play worked, and the offense had trouble moving the ball at all.

Theres no way we won't improve from that performance.
 
I remember pennington picking their secondary apart and now that ferguson is back and solia is backing him up i doubt they'll rush that much on us again.
 
The Ravens are really good and deserve respect....as do the Phins....make no mistake about it...this one will be decided in the trenches

Hey Challenger74, Just curious, your name is "challenger74" but it looks like you have a 76-79 or so Firebird in your pic. What gives?
 
I really don't care if we're the the best team they've beaten (record-wise). The Cowboys are a good team and they beat them. Philly is good, they beat them.

I think what is more indicative of just how good Baltimore is would be the 2 Steelers games. BOTH games came down to the end of the 4th quarter.

That being said, the Pats @ Fins game showed that Miami is capable of competing against good teams. We were in that game for 52 minutes until the team just fell apart. We may look like pushovers because we barely beat bad teams, but when we need points to stay in games......we get them.

Nah, our worst game overall was the Arizona game . . . EVERYBODY looked bad, even Chad . . . we just didn't take well to the trip out there I guess. Pennington was FLAT, the defense . . . well we already know how bad they looked.

The Ravens game was our second worst game . . . and we were within seven in the 4th quarter . . . with our first and second NT out and with Chad throwing an easy pick six. What killed us was the running game and Flacco made timely throws.

See, Ravens fans think they are better now and so they beat us by 14 back then so they will win by even more next time. But they forget that we are better now as well and we WONT be missing the biggest piece to our defense, and the crowd WILL be much more of a factor.

The Ravens were up 17-6 at halftime . . . should have been 6-6 . . . we threw a pick six and we let go a TD late in the second quarter . . . like 30 seconds left . . . we gotta hold them to a FG there. Those 2 deflating plays KILLED us. We actually were tied 3-3 midway in the 2nd quarter WITH the ball before the Pennington mistake.


Yea they beat the Cowboys and the Eagles . . . we beat New England, the Jets and the Chargers . . . I think we match up better with Bmore despite their incredible defense . . . I honestly think it comes down to how Flacco plays in his first playoff game as a rooke and if we can put pressure on him . . . he will be the key to the Ravens on Sunday.
 
Andre Goodman is playing as well as any corner in the league right now. Flacco is going to make mistakes and I really think we have an excellent chance. But we have to hold onto the football and not turn the ball over. If we do this, we'll win.
 
KDAWG954- . . I honestly think it comes down to how Flacco plays in his first playoff game as a rooke and if we can put pressure on him . . . he will be the key to the Ravens on Sunday.

HIT IT RIGHT ON... I AGREE I THINK THE ONE UNDER PRESSURE HERE WILL BE FLACCO HIS FIRST PLAYOFF GAME AND ON THE ROAD. HE WILL BE THE KEY TO BALTYS GAME IF HE GETS INTO A RYTHM WERE IN TROUBLE.
 
I think we match up well with them defensively and offensively we have an edge with our many weapons. If we use the wildcat some, with wrinkles, it may have more success than using it to run up the middle like we tried last time. Pennington's experience should prove the difference over Flacco's inexperience. Go Fins!
