Trap Game

[cravnravn]

This is it..Hope Harbs has these boys focused, theres alot at stake here today.

Weather north of the border, it has started to sleet..

No way this is a trap game, the team knows we need to win out to get in the playoffs. If we lose it will not be because we underprepared or took the Lions easy, it will be because we poorly executed the gameplan. Especially after a poor performance last week the team is going to want to get back on track.

Max, go to the General Chat section.

Remember: The Chiefs, Raiders and Brownies became Trap Games for a Pittsburgh team who was supposed to unleash hell.

 

"Let's go inside the Ravens locker room and see what Ray has to say about this..."

 

Answer: We have a great veteran presence that keeps everyone focused on the week-to-week. The thing I always preach is this is the National Football League. I don't care what Sunday it is, you can be beat. So, forget people's records. You'd better come out and play football.

 

As you've seen, the Oakland Raiders beat Pittsburgh and the Dolphins came back to beat New England. That's the thing we get. Every week, we come in and we prepare. We prepare the same way for whoever is supposed to be good and whoever is supposed to be bad.

Here's the trap: The Ravens start slow as usual and let the Lions hang around. Suddenly there's Cullpepper to Johnson and those 4th quarter Obligatory Defensive Game Losing Penalties.

 

Here's the escape: Flacco has a field day against a poor Lions secondary with Mason, Washington and Williams. Williams has everything set to have a great day. They can't cover him. He can make a big difference. Oh...Ray Rice should have a fun day.

 

Conclusion: I don't see how this can be a close game. The Ravens offense will put up the points against a Lions defense that gives up the most points per game in the NFL.

 

Thank You crav for not putting 'The Curse' on this game... ...then there would have been no hope...season over...

We'll see what the weather conditions hold, its really ugly up here now..Freezin rain now, the cars have an 1/8 inch of ice on them.

No ice here in Baltimore...too warm for that.

Wind is the only factor that could hurt and that's not in the forecast.

Detroit's a Dome Team...let's see if they like getting their footsies cold and wet. The Steelers couldn't handle the cold Thursday. Their nuts shriveled up.
