Irving even appears to be too small – he’s a OLB playing DE. Seattle should look at just making him a OLB as he was in school – as he just lacks the size for that position.

Seattle is a pass-rush away from rolling off a dynasty type team for the next 5 years.

Colts will beat the Ravens became Luck’s inexperience cost the Colts and not Ravens are finally healthy and playing up to their ability

Broncos will rout the Ravens became Refs hand Ravens the win instead of Flacco steps up into a higher class and so do the Ravens.

Now the majority of the media and even the bookmakers (Ravens 9 point underdog) see no way no how the Patriots can lose.

Let’s play the game before the Patriots are anointed as The Best Ever and look at the possibility the Ravens are bringing more to the game than what you think you see.

Flacco, in five years, has the same number of playoff wins (8) as Eli in nine years and one less than Peyton in fifteen years. Just sayin’

Lots of respect for Flacco. While he’s inconsistent on the regular season, he steps up in the playoffs. He was excellent in last year’s AFC Championship game.

If the Patriots make the Super Bowl I probably won’t watch that either. So sick of seeing Tom Brady’s smirky little face. In the old days, linebackers like Dick Butkus would have made a hobby out of seeing how many times they could break a quarterback like Brady’s nose and make him eat dirt.

This is what happens when you get penalized for breathing on a quarterback. They get arrogant, and they have nothing to fear. The NFL sucks these days. So sick of Brady and the Patriots. It’s not fun, and it’s just flat out boring.

Still, that is why you play the games, because “On any given Sunday…”

No one can blam Peyton for lost and the interceptions ,ball was delivered on hands of the receivers, they lost it,
What ever Brady accomplished in his life, he need to beat Eli, otherwise, Eli<Bready<Peyton in playoffs , in regular season Peyton<Bready <Eli.
Both one manning on front of Bready,

Did you even watch the game? The interception that led to the game winning field goal was a throw across his body (that only rookies and Brett Favre make) right into the hands of a defender.

The Giants beat Brady and the Pats fair and square, mostly because their D-line can pressure Brady without bringing extra rushers, leaving no one open for the hot reads that Brady burns most other teams with. Despite that, Brady lead the Pats to a TD to take the lead late in the first, and had the Pats ahead late in game 2. Eli deserves great credit for his 2 late game winning drives.

Brady has more playoff wins than Peyton and Eli combined. He has done it with a complete roster turnover since his first year. Peyton has EIGHT one and dones. Eli has had 2 great runs, but only 2.

Houston made a better showing in this game than the score looked IMO.

I have respect for the Ravens as an opponent.W or L, they’ve played the Pats tough for the better part of a decade now. I still remember a not so hot Ravens team almost taking down the undefeated Pats squad in 07. Ravens fans are right, few gave them a chance in Den. The huge spread for this game is ridiculous. IMO it should be 3 points max, for home field only, and only because the Ravens just came off a grueling game made moreso by the venue they played it in. These teams are very evenly matched IMO. Matchups are everything.

Except for, you know, Houston.

The date that the last 5% of people on Earth, most living in Indiana, Colorado, or working for ESPN,

finally came to grips with what the other 95% of us already knew:

There is no Brady-Manning debate.

Brady >> Manning

Still disappointed my packers were eliminated, but I would very much like to see Brady carve his name in stone as the greatest qb of all time.
