vmax Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 "I just can't wait to be able to say "I told you so!" Ravens (+3) over Saints: The Saints are really struggling, while the Ravens are coming off a bye, so they will be rested. The Ravens are 5-1 against the Saints in their last six meetings. That matters. Look for the Baltimore pass rush to get all over Drew Brees as the Ravens not only cover, but pull off the upset. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/pete-prisco/24826011/priscos-week-12-best-bets-ravens-will-jump-all-over-drew-brees-saints Quote
TBird Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 We did it in Tampa no reason we won't do it in NawlinsTB didn't have Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham to score 6 TDs and now Jimmyand WEbb are both out for us - a double bonus for Brees. Other factors likeit's a road game on a fast track don't speak well for Joe Cool. Quote

papasmurfbell Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 The worst case scenario is the Ravens fall a game back. The north really is bunched up tight. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 If the Ravens win I think they are in 3rd place but I could be wrong there. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Actually now that I am looking at the standings close I they go to 3rd. They have a split with the Squealers. The Ravens are 2-3 in div and Pitt is 2-2 so they can't jump them. They have a win head to head with Cle so they leap over them. Quote

A victory also enables Brees to join Peyton Manning and Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks to have beaten all 32 current NFL teams. And just one other quarterback since 1950, former Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants great Fran Tarkenton, had beaten every team in existence when he retired, according to Stats, LLC.Of course, you can’t play for only one team in your career and pull off this feat. That’s the only thing holding back Tom Brady. It seems unthinkable that Brady might one day face the New England Patriots, but no one anticipated that Peyton Manning would leave the Indianapolis Colts, either.Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers is the only other active quarterback to have beaten all but one team excluding his own. He’ll face the Atlanta Falcons for the second time ever on Dec. 14.This will be Brees’s fourth chance to defeat the Ravens. The last time was in 2010, a 30-24 loss at Baltimore.In Brees’s three games against Baltimore, he has thrown for six touchdowns and seven interceptions, with a 73.2 passer rating, significantly lower than his 95.3 career rating.Brees and the Saints historically are much better at home, though they currently have a two-game losing streak in New Orleans. Brees has lost only once to the Ravens at the Superdome, 35-22 in 2006. Quote
TBird Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Once again the front 7 makes the back 4, we'll be fineJust like in Indy, Piss and Cinci on the road - heh? Flacco doesn't do so good on the road either. Quote
cravnravn Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Just like in Indy, Piss and Cinci on the road - heh? Flacco doesn't do so good on the road either.Indy game was squarely on whom ever mad the call to go pass happy, we were destroying them with the run. Cinncy, d was bad both games. But I do like our chances, 5-1 coming out of the bye and the saints have trouble stopping the run. Quote
cravnravn Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Not feeling it...not at all. I'm more concerned about the dolphins then any other team we face the rest of the way. Quote
Tornado700 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I'm more concerned about the dolphins then any other team we face the rest of the way.I agree 100 % with you Crave. Miami's going to be a true test. As to these other, " I'm just not feeling it", some of these guys here are like ... man, I don't even want to say it. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me for having an opinion. Quote
cravnravn Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 If the Ravens win I think they are in 3rd place but I could be wrong there.Nice, ESPN has us in 2nd place with us holding the tie breaker over Pitt and Cleveland Quote
cravnravn Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 How bout that Brees still winless vs the Ravens Quote
tsylvester Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Nice, ESPN has us in 2nd place with us holding the tie breaker over Pitt and Cleveland If the playoffs started to day, Pitt and KC would be the wild cards........... Quote
cravnravn Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 If the playoffs started to day, Pitt and KC would be the wild cards...........How could Pitt? Our common opponent was Tampa, we beat them and Pitt lost to them, Quote
GrubberRaven Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Um, no they wouldn't. Pitt is behind us...it would be the Chargers and Chiefs Quote
cravnravn Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Also as it stands today, neither of us make it in, but we are the first team listed as in the hunt, pitt is behind ushttp://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/machine Edited November 25, 2014 by cravnravn Quote
