Andrew Luck is a rookie. Peyton Manning is no Andrew Luck. Now comes the beat down in Denver as Peyton Manning will as he did previously embarrass the Ravens. Ravens exist stage left on Sunday via Denver, Co.

What was that convulsion Ray suffered when he came out of the tunnel? Did he have food poisoning, or is he just epileptic? I can’t wait to see this classless franchise get smacked down in Denver next weekend, it’s gonna be a 3-TD blowout. Just like when they came to B’more.

I think the Ravens are a good team; in my opinion, they’ll win next week in Denver, then lose to NE.

But Raven fans are delusional if they think Flacco is a good qb; he is slightly above average at best.

I’m sorry, the throw in the AFC championship to Lee Evans was a bad decision – the ball was not dropped, the db stripped it away… Evans was completely covered, the ball should have gone somewhere else…

If Flacco was a good qb, they would have beaten NE by at least 10 points… He missed a ton of wide open receivers, it was ridiculous…

The beauty of it is, Mr. steelcurtain, you and your OLD, overrated, has-been team will be watching the Ravens on Saturday…hah!
Flacco beat New England IN New England going 4-9 for 34 yards in ’09! Bernard Pierce and RR will gash that undersized d-line just like today. Oh, yeah, for all you Flacco haters, go look up Peyton’s playoff record after a first round bye. 9 1/2 point dogs…love it! Time to hunt boys…

The true facts are the ravens only won because they were at home to an average football team, big deal. You’ll see their true colors on saturday, their season ends……. times a ticking!!!!!!

Classy move by referee Mike Carey to give Ray Lewis a handshake as Ray came in the game for the final kneeldown.

I dont understand why when the Ravens win people have to immediately talk about Flacco and how much he stinks and he won’t go any further and he shouldn’t get a contract, etc…it is a TEAM GAME! Yes, Flacco is not Brady, Brees, Rodgers, or even an Andrew Luck, but you cannot credit wins or losses to an individual. The Ravens have been a great team for the last 5 years since the beginning of the Harbaugh era, making the playoffs and winning at least one game each time. Therefore, they are in the final 4 of the AFC or the final 8 of the NFL. The results, or lack thereof for all the haters out there, does not solely fall on Flacco, or Ray Lewis, or Ray Rice, or any individual. Wins and losses are a collective effort and anyone with any football wherewithal knows that.

Flacco is such garbage. I wonder how many SBs they would have with a decent QB. Five years is a long time to wait for better than average.

I love seeing all these Yinzers jumping on the bandwagon of the last team to beat them in the playoffs. Can we expect “two and done” blather for the rest of the week?

It’s not fair to the rest of the NFL for Denver to get two bye weeks in a row.

Nice job Ravens, you disposed of one member of the equestrian family and, after you send the Broncos off to the glue factory, we’ll see you in NE the following week.

wish people would get off of flacco’s back. i was at the game today, and if we had a decent “o” line he would have much better stats. those guys gave him hardly any protection on most plays today. i thought our “d” was really good today and really fun to watch. give them some credit, no touchdowns by the colts. and finally almost everyone is healthy, just hope that ellerbe’s injury is minor. as someone else posted, the last 5 years we might not have a superbowl ring, but i love going to the playoffs 5 straight years. look at last years SB champs, they aren’t even in the playoffs. i don’t care who hates my team or not, but most of these posts are not constructive criticism, more like jealousy to me. i can think of a few teams that would love to have flacco and be us.

Glad you were able to make some easy money for a change. I am guessing the $20 you make at the bus station every Friday night is made the hard way.

Not sure what point you’re trying to make daluck. Flacco threw two touchdowns and averaged 12+yds a completion. He also had ZERO turnovers. Ray Rice, who people treat as the Ravens’ savior almost fumbled the game away. Apart from the catch to set up the Ravens’ first TD, he was less of a factor in this game than his backup Pierce.Flacco will get paid and will deserve it more than Schaub (who played nowhere near as well as Flacco yesterday).

Just so I have this straight..

Flacco barely hits 50% of his passes against a paper thin secondary and Ravens homers consider THAT a good game? I saw him miss multiple easy throws including two that could have been taken for 6 the other way.

In addition, both his TD’s were on 1.) a dump-off to Pitta and 2.) a jump ball to Boldin. What has really changed here? His entire game still revolves around check-downs and jump balls.

One way or the other, I expect the Broncos to completely expose Flacco as a fraud next week.

The Ravens averaged more than 30 points-per-game at home this season (34 PPG at home /w Cam Cameron as OC), against a lot of defenses better than the Colts. Let’s see them take that on the road before everyone gets too excited.

I’ve never seen that many dropped passes before
The Colts would’ve won that game easily if they hadn’t dropped every other pass

Seahawks fans are wondering why they didn’t call Boldin’s last TD an INT. Didn’t the defender have one arm on it? LOL

You have to give Flacco credit he is great at getting close to the Super Bowl and for some that is all they want. The elite QB s gets to and win Super Bowls so he is a tee shirt QB and no more.

Boldin mugged in the end zone…no call.

Boldin called for offensive interference to take three points off the scoreboard.

Ravens come up with the fumble…takes three points off the scoreboard.

Ravens won again despite the Refs.

Love the come back from TV break with no analysis of the correct call on that fumble. That is just like the Lee Evans drop in the end zone that was never reviewed by the Refs.

Ravens win despite the Refs.

Steelers…well….they are taking out Iron City bottles to the curb because it is recycling day tomorrow.

The idiots on here saying not to give Joe credit are comical. Being at the game, this guy made the most crucial throws at the most crucial times (half of which were dropped) that kept the electricity in the crowd. He and Q were the x-factors. Speaking of Flacco haters, where is ampatsisahypocrite? Oh the Steelers missed the playoffs? That’s right!

I’ll give Ray Lewis this: he has quite the killer instinct when it comes to hunting down an opponent. He’s pretty good at leaving his targets laying stiff on the field. Too bad Hines Ward owned him when both of them were in their prime.
