Glad we did everything possible to keep Decosta from leaving. He’s locked up now and good to know we don’t have to worry about it anymore.
On Ed Reed:
"I’ve told him to his face many times, ‘You’re the greatest safety ever to play the game,’"
"We all learn from each other, but we all learn most from him."

23-22 texans
23-22 texans
while the two best D players on the field are ngata and suggs, I believe the texans defense is better AS A WHOLE.
this will be a low scoring game, which will let the texans keep running the football. you wont see kareem jackson 1 on 1 with torrey smith, and if you DO, well we will lose
texans are playing with house money!!!! they will be loose with nothing to lose.
the best player on the field on O or D wears a texan uniform, and his name is Andre Johnson.
You will never understand the impact he makes on the field, in the locker room, and on TJ yates confidence.

Wow. Just wow.
That is powerful Red Kool-Aid you’re drinking. Again, this may be the Ravens first home playoff game since the 2006 season but this is the Texans first road playoff game EVER. The Texans have never beat the Ravens. The Ravens are undefeated at home this season. The Texans starting QB is a rookie with 6 career starts (3-3) and a separated shoulder. I give you a lot of credit for winning the AFC South and making the playoffs but the Texans FIRST foray into the post season ends in Baltimore this Sunday. Foster, Johnson, Daniels, Watt, Cushing. Name all the weapons you want to and it won’t matter. The Ravens will win and win convincingly.
You like Thai? Tie good. You like shirt?
I like all your meanigless stas
OU was 37-0 at home, playing a TERRIBLE texas tech team……. and they lost
NOTHING IN THE PAST MATTERS FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but I’ll play your little game
LAST two home playoff games for baltimore……. 0-2. and that is also meaningless
youre lucky that harbaugh isnt as arrogant as the fanbase
@THEREALALLENOU on twitter - "The man, the verb, the legend" OU'd
Talk about meaningless
WTF does Oklahoma have to do with Ravens and Texans this Sunday?? I’ll agree that stats are meaningless to a degree. I’m using them in this case to bolster my argument that the Ravens are heavy favorites to win the game and rightfully so. Even level headed football fans with no common rooting interest in either team would agree. You’re just spouting off about Johnson being the best player and other opinionated nonsense.

Previous stats are meaningless

Such as
Ravens have never lost to a rookie QB at M&T. The only rookie to ever beat them was Jake Plummer in 1997. And of course, Yates is SO much better than Plummer was and this group of Ravens is a piece of cake for a rookie on the road at a stadium where the home team hasn’t lost all season and did not lose to a team with a winning record all season.
Right? Wrong.

It's funny...
How confident that fan base can be in a QB that wouldn’t even be starting if not for a series of unfortunate injuries to the guys in front of him. Let them be confident though. If the Texans lose, it will be almost as enjoyable as the last few days have been with the sudden disappearance of the entire Steelers fanbase.

I'd try not to compare college with the pros
But if you really want to… (and I’m sorry for doing this) I’d like to compare you to the Texas A&M fan base. Now THOSE guys know how to oversell their team going into a hostile environment. You don’t think that Ravens fans know what it’s like to lose at home in the playoffs? I was just a few years ago that the Colts came in hear and won. It took Peyton Manning on his way to a Superbowl victory to do what you are saying TJ Yates can with the Texans. Doable but don’t get mad if we don’t agree on it.

Seriously?
I’m not even close to trolling. Not. Even. Close.
Can we not have conversations about this game.
I admit to being an ass to a certain someone but he deserved it. 37-10. Ha
Look,
You guys deserve to be favored and have earned the right to be so, as well as play at home. I have a TON of respect for every player on that team, even flacco. But to sit here and make it seem that you think flacco is just great? I know you don’t believe that. You take away the dominating defense, no way flacco carries a team like the elite QBs do. Flacco IMO has reached his ceiling. That’s my opinion, and I’m sure lots of people both agree and disagree. I honestly think that Yates might be one of those special players. The drive AT cinci, to clinch the division, was epic.
I think y’all come out a little flat and flacco has a bad game. That’s my opinion.
When someone on your blog says 37-10, I can’t take that seriously. 27-17? I can buy that. 21-13? I can buy that.
23-22 texans. Good luck to you AV73

And they wonder why Texans fans are riled up...
Want to talk about disrespecting a team? 37-10 doesn’t happen in this league in the playoffs unless you’re Tennessee Titans vs the Houston Texans.
If you really think the scoreline will be that bad, I will never ask for advice from you lol.
I've got nothin'...
everybody keeps harping on the 37-10 prediction. I know that’s really hurtful to your feelings but it doesn’t really take the conversation anywhere by continuing to bring it up again and again.
I love it knowing that there are a handful of Ravens fans in this area who despise the fact that Joe will be our QB for the next 10 years. --Mr. MaLoR
When someone on your blog says 37-10, I can’t take that seriously. 27-17? I can buy that. 21-13? I can buy that.
We scored 7 times last game. Turn a couple FGs into TDs (our team is much healthier than last time) and it could have been a very similar score to that, not to mention Schaub>Yates. Having said that, I see it being a closer game and do expect the Ravens to win, but somewhere along the lines of the 27-17 or 21-13 you stated.
This is a much more reasonable analysis...
Some of the Ravens fans who honestly believe it’ll be an old school blow out are living in that delirious space between the 1st and 2nd layers of sleep…

Any given sunday right? You could win, you could lose, and you could indeed get blown out. I’m not saying it will happen, but you’re not delirious if you think it will.

Flacco IMO has reached his ceiling.
I think Flacco could become just as good as Rodgers even Ed Reed said so. Flacco has had a down year but he also lost two of his go two guys which I believe was a big blow to him stat wise. I dont think Joe Flacco is a great quarterback but he has the potentials to become a great quarterback but in order for him to get better it starts with the wideouts/tightends to be on the same page with him
Flacco could be as good as Rodgers?

Flacco is an
inconsistent, mediocre QB, comparing him to arguably the best QB in the NFL is insanity. Your fanbase thinks that predicting a Texans win by one point is arrogant, I can’t even imagine a dream world where anyone would believe that Flacco could become an QB on par with Rodgers. I honestly could never imagine someone drinking enough Kool aid to delude themselves that it would even be possible.

I'm not predicting Flacco to become Rodgers
but look at Drew Brees’ numbers in his first 4 seasons in the Air Coryell offense (Flacco’s offense) and tell me how different they are. Actually, if you scroll up to “recommended fanposts” and click on “Joe Flacco: a Comparison Study,” you’ll see how similar their first four years were.
I love it knowing that there are a handful of Ravens fans in this area who despise the fact that Joe will be our QB for the next 10 years. --Mr. MaLoR
This. I personally don’t think Flacco will ever become Rodgers, but I do think he can potentially be a top 6 or 7 guy and that’s more than good enough for the way our team is built.

Do what gives you the best chance to win. We don’t need the best QB in the entire league. We just need a guy that can win when we need him to. And Flacco has done that against some great teams in hostile environments.

Stop saying that we all think that
I never said that and there are plenty of other people on here that are in the same boat. I’m just tired of hearing people compare Joe Flacco to every other QB on the planet. Making this kinds of comparisons are about as subjective as you can get with no way to prove one way or the other without putting every QB into every system available and taking notes. Our fastest WR is a rookie (yet he somehow came through with an extremely successful rookie year). In fact, other than Boldin we have zero pass catcher not named Rice that have more than a year of experience prior to this season. Furthermore, Flacco hasn’t had a consistent receiving corps in over two seasons with all these players coming and going. Wanna know the best part? The Ravens have played 11 games this season against top 10 defenses. So don’t think that this offense hasn’t seen a big bad defense before. After all, they did play the Steelers #1 ranked D twice. btw, I’d love to have Andre Johnson as part of a 1-2 punch with Boldin. And if Andre makes QBs look that good, doesn’t that completely shut down the argument for TJ Yates that was made earlier?

I truly believe he can become just as good as Rodgers or even better.
If Ed Reed saids Flacco can be just as good as Rodgers who has seen elite quarterback most of his career than I believe what he saids. Overall I think Flacco will turn out to be a great quarterback but great quarterbacks have offensive weapons that are on the same page with him consistently.
most of Flacco inconsistency this year were due to drops passes by wideouts or tight ends
Lets not get too carried away Jazz. Flacco can become a very good QB, but not to Rodgers level. While definitely too early to say, Rodgers is looking like he may go down as one of the all time greats if he keeps this up.
On Ed Reed:
"I’ve told him to his face many times, ‘You’re the greatest safety ever to play the game,’"
"We all learn from each other, but we all learn most from him."
- Troy Polamalu
nobody expected Rodgers to play this good until it happened this year.
Flacco can become a very good QB, but not to Rodgers level.
If Ed Reed saids he can be just as good as Rodgers then I believe it. Reed sees Flacco practice every week not only that but he has study elite quarterbacks before and I think he knows what he is talking about.
Flacco may not play up to Rodgers level this year but its no telling how he will turn out next year or four years later.
Rodgers isnt just great because of him self alone but its because he has very good wideouts/tighends to throw to and most of all these are wideouts/tight ends he has grown with most of his career as a starter so far.
No Rodgers didn’t just play good this year. He has played very good every year he has started. I wouldn’t take every single thing that comes out of our players and coaches mouths to heart. I can guarantee you they are not always giving their honest opinion on every topic.

No Rodgers didn’t just play good this year. He has played very good every year he has started.
His quarterback rating is 127.7 thats higher than he has ever had in his career. I wonder if he would had still played as good if he started right away like Flacco did in his rookie year instead of learning from Brett Favre.
I wouldn’t take every single thing that comes out of our players and coaches mouths to heart. I can guarantee you they are not always giving their honest opinion on every topic.
Ok so i guess you think Ed Reed was lying but I honestly think if he was lying he didnt have to say all that
Ok so i guess you think Ed Reed was lying but I honestly think if he was lying he didnt have to say all that
Jazz you always say that about players and coaches. We take what they say with a grain of salt, you should too. It doesn’t make a guy a liar to predict his QB will become an all-time great, he’s supposed to say that stuff.
You never told a fat girl she looked great to make her feel good? It’s the same thing man. Anybody in the NFL is gonna say good things about their teammates (unless you’re a Jet).

Anything can be convincing,

Ravens can be up 27-6 and give up a late TD and one more with seconds left and win 27-20, but that would still be convincing in most people’s opinions. Glad to see how passionately you support your team, but doubt too many other fans, even Texans fans, share YOUR confidence.

We have suffered with no playoffs since 1993
With no football for almost half of it.
The fact I even have a team that allows me to rile up other fan bases is a miracl in itself.
And if you saw the texans with David Carr, moron greenwood, Petey faggins etc, you would have no choice but to have massive sympathy.
Win you won the Super Bowl, we didn’t even Have A Team!!
It’s easy to be confident when you have nothing to lose. This year is already a massive success even with this crazy fact

It has been almost 4 years now since the debate about how good Flacco can be started. At what point do the critics start showing their evidence in protest to the stats that support Flacco? I’m still waiting for an argument against him that goes a little further than just “well he’s not Tom Brady.” (btw, I’m glad he’s not Brady. I like my QBs to be a little tougher and less whiny than that)

He regressed in nearly
every measurable way. Honestly, he projects to be comparable to Matt Schaub at best, not an elite QB, but better than average. Of course he could easily fall short of that optimistic projection and end up just being exactly average.

Honestly, you have NOTHING to worry about. There were a handful of Bengals fans at the game on Saturday and I gave one of them props for coming out to support their team. Don’t get me wrong. You might get the occasional good natured ribbing, but we’re really more interested in having a good time and supporting our team than in bothering you. :) In fact, if you lost, you’d probably have a few drinks bought for you, lol. Minute Maid park is nice and baseball crowds are always a little more laid back too. Did you like the train? I don’t know any ravens fans to go with, but I’d definitely be polite about my cheering. I’d be in your home after all.

Well I appreciate the hospitality
What’s a good section to sit in that won’t break the bank?
You like Thai? Tie good. You like shirt?
This isn’t just pride in our stadium, but any seat is good. I’ve sat in the back row of the corner and still had a great view. However, the walls are made of metal and the sound ricochets off like crazy because the fans get pretty loud (especially in big games). Therefore, I would say take an upper level seat on the sidelines. You can do upper level, lower row 50 yard line for decent pricing. Lower levels can get pretty pricey.

So maybe 633, 634, 635, or 636. That’s visitor sideline.

Thanks again
I’ll start my search in the off season for sure. As for tailgating, I will absolutely take you up on the offer. :) I went to the last game at the old Cowboys stadium in 2008 (Ravens won) and the tailgating scene there was awesome. The food. The beer. Shiner! Hell, I’m ready to go right now.

You can even hit me up for tailgating if we’re still chatting on the forum. I’m definitely going to Titans and Ravens games.
