Definately Joe and the offense have to execute better or the season's over. They know that and I think they will do better. I agree it will be ugly....Titans have a good secondary..great overall D....the Ravens O will have to take what they can and not turn it over. but today was sweet!

He has gone forth "into the weeping and knashing of teeth".

Dinner is served!

Shouldn't the baking instructions read...

Here's a trend.... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/foot...ex.html?eref=T1 http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/Handi...2008/selsp1.htm http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/features/talent

Oggie..being cocky, arrogant and a liar are considered good membership requirements here. "Remember, he who points the finger has 3 pointing right back at him!"

True...they are not worthy...they should be punished. Now...both road teams, as favorites, lost. The Ravens will put an end to that today.

Not quite awake yet....I'm on my first cup of coffee. Good to see the Colts lose. I prefer to play the Chargers or Stealers. Like this great season...going to Tampa doesn't compute yet....just keep reminding me that's what the Ravens want to do.

You already got the job dee...ExtremeRaven Queen! Hey...Can you throw an overhand right?

"With the win tomorrow, Cam Cameron will have won more games in Miami this season than he did all last year as the Dolphins' head coach."

Tony Sparano is 0-1 vs. the Ravens. John Harbaugh is 1-0 vs. the Dolphins.

It depends on what team they are on. Do they have the #4 rush offense and #2 defense in the league to support them? Do they go against a paper tiger like the Dolphins?

"Hey! I said grab a brew. Not the whole case!"

I don't like it. Rookie QB and rookie HC, favorites on the road...lose. I have work to do...

Speaking of turnovers...the Cards/Falcons game is strating to rack them up...game changers.

You can have your day BC. As long as it continues tomorrow!

Aw come on Spear...suffer like the rest of us. It builds character!

Spoken like a true fan...have a brew!

The Dolphins are the best at protecting the ball but the Ravens aren't too shabby in this catagory either...+13 (NFL’s 3rd best). Wash. Protecting the football is critical. It could come down to 1 turnover providing a Ravens or Dolphins win. Yet, that's only 1 stat in a big picture. Now...I like some of the Ravens statistics. "Shall we club each other to death with statistics?" Ranked 2nd in the NFL, the Baltimore defense set 3 team records: opponent QB rating (60.6), rushing TDs allowed (4) and rushing 1st downs allowed (58). Baltimore led the NFL with 26 INTs, including 9 by S Ed Reed, which was also an NFL high. Baltimore was 3rd against the run and 2nd versus the pass in 2008. The Ravens also were tops in the NFL producing “3- and-outs” (60). They did not allow a 100-yard rusher for the 2nd straight season (current string is 35 games, dating back to 2006). The Ravens allowed the 3rd-fewest points in the NFL this season, permitting only 244 (15.3 per game). Baltimore only allowed foes to sustain 17 drives of 10 plays or more, tied for fewest in the league. Of those, just 6 yielded a TD. Whew! Hold on! There's more!.... The Ravens’ defense was stout on 3rd down this season. Baltimore only allowed foes to convert 33.5% of their 3rd-down attempts, good for the NFL’s 3rd-best mark. The Ravens’ 34 take-aways ranked No. 1 in the league (26 INTs and 8 fumbles). The Ravens’ “D” came up big in the red zone this season, allowing foes to produce a 35.9% TD-success rate inside the 20. Baltimore allowed just 145 points from the red zone in 2008, the fewest in the NFL. The photo below has a high statistical probability of accurately depicting the plight of the Dolphin offense tomorrow.... Ok...clubing away here!... The Ravens totaled 148.5 rushing yards per game this season, standing as the NFL’s No. 4 ground attack. The Ravens’ 18.1 average margin of victory ranked 2nd in the NFL during the regular season. Baltimore outscored opponents 333-134 in its 11 wins. NOT BAD WITH A ROOKIE QB! Additionally, Baltimore only allowed a league-low 60 points in the 4th quarter while scoring 115. Part of the Ravens’ success can be attributed to sustaining long drives and controlling the clock. This season, Baltimore’s 33:10 average time of possession was the highest in the NFL (sorry Chad...wait in line to get the ball!) In their 8 playoff games, the Ravens have only allowed 143.4 passing yards and 90.4 rushing yards per contest. Those figures rank as the fewest per game in NFL postseason history(since the 1970 merger). The Ravens have allowed just 11.0 points per game in 8 career playoff contests. That figure ranks as the lowest opponent playoff scoring average since the 1970 merger. OK...OK...I'll stop. Those are playoff numbers...but there are a ton more stats if you want to keep clubing away! "It's in the hole!"

Cam Cameron will be one of the reasons why the Ravens win. Just one out of many. It will be won in the trenches by the faster more physical team. Who can execute? The Ravens D has a history of making everbody look ugly. I don't think turnovers will be a big factor in this game. The Dolphins don't turn it over, the Ravens respect that and won't get caught out of position trying to force one. That was an easy schedule the Dolphins had this year while the Ravens are battle tested against the winning and playoff caliber teams. Kansas City, Buffalo, St Louis, Frisco, Jets...wow...real scary.. Who can turn the heat up another notch? I say the Ravens will. But congrats on a great season and turnaround. Definately something good is going on with the Dolphins. It's no fluke. I don't take them lightly and I'm certain the Ravens don't either.

It's Cam Cameron Day....here's another good one. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/footbal...0,1387819.story Oh!>>>> and Drop Dead Porter! But thanks...I think you gave the O the one final ingrediant they needed to totally kick your ass.
