Gameday

The big news out of Baltimore is Mike Oher goes to right tackle and Bryant McKinnie gets a rare start, he'll be left tackle.


Let's see this famous Colts pass rush


edit, still asleep, put this on the draft thread!

And 29th against the run.

Sigh. Ah well, It was a good year. I fancy the Packers to win it all from here, as much as I hate them

:eek:

Need to improve a lot for that event to happen, in my opinion.

Have to move it up a notch or two to beat SF.

Vikes with Ponder would have asked a lot of other questions.

Well done to Vikes for giving it a go and making the playoffs.

Deserve a bit respect for that.

Yep, both games were pretty dull, tonight's the proper games.

Thank Christ Oher has been moved away from LT. McKinnie was probably falling out of a strip club at 6am this morning though, so I'm not too sure how much of a difference it will make.

Ravens tunnel being set up for Ray Lewis to run out for the final time !

Unless of course Ravens win......



I don't see how people can't see us winning at 49rs?? We will beat them by 10 points at least.

Even if the Ravens win there won't be another game in Baltimore

No its his last home game regardless. They are on the road the rest of the way no matter who wins other games.

He wont play at home again regardless.


It'll be very close, doubt there'll be 10 points in it tbh!

Edit: The bookies have 49ers as 3 point favourites!

Ah we'll see I'm confident in 10points! How do you see tonight going?

Ravens by a score, and Seahawks by the same. Two better games then last night anyway!

redskins by 10 and ravens by 15

Can see RG3 do it tonight. You cannot underestimate the 12th man for Seattle (as packers fans know).

As for the ravens/colts. Again, the colts are the ones with the hot hand. They've been blessed with Hilton and Wayne's performance throughout the year and Ballard has come very strogn throughout the year.
It may depend on which Joe Flacco turns up tonight.
Going for Baltimore in a close one.

Sad to think we'll never see Ray Lewis in the Raven's nest after tonight .

By 12th man in the Packers eyes I presume you mean the replacement officials?!

I'm sure we'll get our fill of him on NFLN over the next few years.

Cannnnnnoooottttt WAIT for more of his words of wisdom.

Seattle will beat the Skins and Ravens will beat the Colts.

If GB beat the 49ers which I think they will, I think they'll beat the Broncos in the SB. Neither the Colts or Ravens should give Denver much trouble.

I hope we see Brady v Manning again. I don't want any upsets!

That would be awesome on another level. It would be even better if it could of been in Indy.

Flacco has been there and done it every season he's been in the league when it comes to winning a playoff game. Lewis and Suggs will finally be on the field together at the same time.

And all that to the fact that it's Lewis' last home game and possibly last game ever, Ed Reed most likely won't be back so it's the same situation for him, the crowd will be absolutely electric and it's a lot different for Luck going into that sort of atmosphere compared to at home where you can hear a pin drop when he's under center.

Ray Rice will be the key here for me against the 29th ranked run defence in the NFL. I have a feeling he will have a big game.

Ravens by 7.

SI was reporting that he's going to be on ESPN.

Think Ravens win tonight. -7 seems about right. Hope their experience pulls them through.

Whoever he goes to it will be a huge contract. Telephone numbers.

If it does happen, it's just a pity it's not at sea-level.

Considering the talk earlier in the year was he wanted to retire so he could see his kid play ball I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't start his broadcasting career for a year or else just eases into it!

How cool is it that you could attend both games today if you had tickets, only 37.8 miles separating both stadiums!

you could even take in "the Wire" on your way to the second game.

Flacco's postseason stats are underwhelming at best. I wouldn't say he's done it every season -- the team has, and the team is not as good as it was.

davyjose

Having a 1PM kickoff in the playoffs is insanity. I'm just out of bed, and this game starts in 90 minutes. It's way more conducive to a European audience than to a west coast one. I won't be complaining next season when I'm back home, but this game is too early. Yesterday's schedule was way better.

The first game was ok. Last night was poor.

kmart6

Well then you shoulda got out of bed earlier :P

Phoenix Park

Neither game was good. Texans Bengals played out pretty much as expected, low scoring first half. Second half of the Packers Vikings game was a non event. Today should be better.

kmart6

That O.J. Brigance piece was very touching!

manafana

I am thinking the colts to keep it tight tonight versus ravens a field goal either way to win it i think.

davyjose

Wonder will Phil Simms mention Andrew Lucks poor arm strength and inability to make downfield throws today :rolleyes:

Bruce Arians has gone to hospital after taking ill, won't be calling the game today for the Colts.

Fcuk! I knew he had a bug. Didn't know he was this bad. That's a disaster.

Clyde calling the plays instead!

I change my prediction. Ravens to win. This is such a disaster for Indy. We lose Coach of the year, and the ballsiest play caller in the league, and Andrew Lucks mentor.

We're fcuked!

I would have to agree I'm afraid, total disaster for the colts!

I was looking forward to Manning Luck next week.

I'm not even nervous anymore. I haven't entirely given up hope -- it's sports -- but I'm not holding up too much hope.

SantryRed

****sake, there goes my Colts +7 bet.

Jesus lads I know it's a set back, but the Colts have nothing to lose in this game, both Chuck and Clyde know that, can't see them having any issues calling risky plays if necessary!
