Broncos @ Patriots: Game-Time 'Open Thread'

All Baltimore Ravens fans will become temporary fans of the Denver Broncos tonight as they travel to play the New England Patriots tonight in the Divisional Round of the 2012 AFC Playoffs. If the Broncos upset the Patriots like they did to the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend, then they will come here to Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium for the AFC Championship Game after the Ravens shut down and shut up the Houston Texans tomorrow afternoon.
Join us in this 'Open Thread' and post your comments along with other Ravens fans live during this game and hope that Denver QB Tim Tebow has one more miracle in his amazing bag of tricks. Pats QB Tom Brady already put a beatdown on Tebow in Denver but we can always pray for a reversal of fortune, can't we?
Besides, you just know that the Lord roots for his favorite football player and wants to see him survive for one more game, because if he does pull off another upset, his run of luck will certainly end next week here in Baltimore.
Go Broncos!!!

Congrats on the W. You guys looked really good, especially on D. Impressed with the balls A. Smith showed in the fourth quarter. Vernon Davis is a freak. No guy that big should be that fast. Here’s to hoping our teams get to meet again!

Yea, A. Smith really stepped up in the 4th and made that happen. He deserves all the credit in the world that might come his way for that W. You guys looked great and good luck the rest of the way.

Have to play more man, obviously the the zone scheme DEN is running is working well….
We are good at shutting down TEs and I think Webb will match up well with Branch or Welker.
Run the ball a fuck ton and wear out their d line like last time we played there.
Get to Brady early and often, and I know Suggs would love to hit Brady a few more times.

A little lesson son...
if you want to troll, you need to know your audience. I suggest mocking our team by mentioning Ray Lewis’ legal issues in the past or even attacking our city. For example, our current mayor who received bribes in the form of $5 gift cards donated to children or our pathetic schools.
Hell watch an episode of “The Wire” and act like its a documentary for life in Maryland or something.

you’re joking right? about the obituary in your news paper?
Can I get some hot sauce for my doughnut?
They had a whole write up about him...
The great thing about the show was that it highlighted a lot of issues facing the city that before, people pretty much ignored. I found the most difficult episodes were the ones dealing with the school system.
Its not a total picture of the city, by far. But it showed the part that gets easily ignored.

I may have to watch that show now. I started it, but I only made it through two episodes. It wasn’t bad or anything, I just have to be in the mood for stuff like TV shows and movies.
Kinda crazy that the local paper did that though. But, that isn’t the first time a city has done something crazy. Actually someone mentioned the other case on BB somewhere (Sylvester Stallone statue)
Is Baltimore like Detroit by chance? What I mean by that is, the inner city is pretty horrible, but there are a ton of middle to upper class areas surrounding it?
Can I get some hot sauce for my doughnut?
Its weird...
the cost of living can be quite high. Right now, John’s Hopkins is purchasing property and expanding like crazy. Areas that used to be really bad are now quite ritzy. A lot of the poor and crime is getting pushed out to the suburbs along the 95 corridor. Per capita, I would argue Edgewood (a small area in Harford county north of the city) is more dangerous with gang crime than the city.
The city is not nearly as spread out as Detroit. That is what really hurting that city (my younger brother used to lived there). We had a similar race riot that cause a lot of the middle class to flee (all races as I think the term “white flight” is highly inaccurate). Parts of the inner city are REALLY nice. But we have a lot of problems with the drug culture plus our location on the East Coast makes it a major shipping hub for heroin.
Once you start watching “The Wire” you will get addicted. Stephen King once commented that he never made a character as scary as “Snoop”. She is this chick on the show that is actually from Baltimore.

Haha, ok. Just, if I were a pro, it would have seemed to me like NE was throwing them a bone, as in: “we thrashed you so bad, we’ll have our QB punt the ball on third down and take it easy on you”. You could have just as easily ran the ball twice to bring up a change of possesion, ran it once and punted on 4th, or taken a knee or two. For me, it’s handing the ball over on 3rd down that’s not cool, like I said, kind of throwing them a bone. Whatever though, what’s done is done. Good job shutting down the option, I think that’s the best I’ve seen NE play D all year.

Cheering for Tebow is immoral
Football is the one true religion and Tebow is an apostate.
Steelers fan, BTW. I’ll root for the Ratbirds at this point simply because I disdain the Tecmo Bowl style game we’ll end up watching if it’s Brady v Rodgers.
I really look forward to next year...
The Steelers showed how NOT to play Tebow. They’re schedule next year, if they continue with Tebow is going to result in a Rams style decline.

I’m not so sure that they showed how not to play him. You don’t expect Tebow to throw for 316 yards on 10 completions. Take away the miracle throws, he didn’t do much.

They played him with too many guys in the box...
giving him easy one on one matches. The dared him to make passes and with the safeties up close, it was easy to have crazy long completions. Hell, if they played prevent in overtime, at best, Tebow gets them into field goal range and the Steelers get the ball back.

I can’t argue about the play in over time. They trust Ike to handle his business, he didn’t. But still, they should have had help.
But the rest of the game, in general, you take your chances that he can’t beat you with his arm. He usually can’t, he did that time. They adjusted after the half though, and he didn’t do shit till OT

That's all on Dick Lebeau
The fact is the Steelers went into that game with a game plan that was over-enamored with the importance of the Broncos running game.
Considering some of the questionable decisions the coaches made at the end of the season (example: couldn’t Charlie Batch have disposed of the Browns in the closer?), you get to a point where the Steelers coached themselves right out of contention.

Yeah...
we shocked them one year in the playoffs at their place but honestly…I can’t tell you who I would expect to win. I almost suspect that Belicheck played his defense all year shitty just to troll the league…

I think the patriots defense is still bad but just look good against a offense that wasnt really all that good.
And I think Belicheck is...
crazy and evil enough to intentionally make his defense look weak to surprise the league in the playoffs.
I am also a paranoid shut in…

Well could be but that's why we play the games
I would definitely say Ravens are a more mature team

Scary thinking...
what could have been. All teams deal with injuries but the Texans have to be the most snake bitten playoff team in a decade.

Set backs nothing...
How many teams have to go through 23 QB’s, lose their best defensive player, their best receiver for a large portion of the season, and make it into the playoffs.
