Playoffs Ravens at Broncos

[Coachnorm]

This should be an excellent game. Playing in Denver is always a big challenge to opponents, it will be interesting to see if this continues to be true during the Peyton era. The Ravens are fired up with an emotional Ray Lewis roller coaster ride trying to get just a little farther than they did last year.

Game time temps will be below 20 degrees. Broncos continue to roll this weekend.

 

[gizzil]

yeah. broncos big time

 

[Remote Controller]

Ray Lewis ............well never mind. Broncos!!

Time for the voice of reason again:

Peyton is not a cold weather QB
The game in Baltimore turned on Flacco's pick 6 right before the half
Denver was held to 7 3 and outs that day
The Ravens were missing Yanda,Lewis,Ellerbe(both ILBers) and Pollard
T Smith went out in the 3rd with a concussion and Ngata and Suggs were both playing hurt
It was Caldwell's first game as the OC, very vanilla game plan


Ravens will be healthy this time and might have finally fixed their OL with McKinnie back. If they can get the ground game going with Rice/Pierce this game is gonna be close and if they can keep Manning off the field and not turn the ball over, well you never know..

Too cold for Peyton?? Peyton is 0-3 in playoff games outside when the temp. is -40. 1TD/ 7 picks.

How many of those were on the Pats home field? I don't think Peyton's ever had a cold home game before, and he's not facing Brady.

IF Denver can stop the run, they win. I don't see Flacco out playing Manning in cold weather or not cold weather.

A healthy McGahee might make this a better game for Denver as well.

But I have to go home team here, and take Denver

0-2 vs Brady

0-1 vs Sanchez

With less than 5 minutes played in the game it's tied up at 7 each. Long punt return for the score for Denver and the Ravens scored on a long pass play.

 

[mudloggerone]

They've played 5:11 now and it's 14-7 Ravens on a pick six thrown by Manning.

 

[Coachnorm]

Now The Ravens have taken a TD lead as the Ravens D puts a pick 6 on Peyton. Ravens 14-7. Big momentum swings.

 

[Coachnorm]

That early Kickoff return TD had the Denver crowd sky high. It felt like blowout time but not so fast as the Ravens are showing why they went deep in the playoffs last year.

Broncos on the march as Peyton nails Tamme with ball. Not a great throw.... great catch. Decker with another catch.... chains moving

 

[Coachnorm]

Almosty hits Thomas with a score.

 

[mudloggerone]

After 11 minutes of action we're tied up at 14. .Manning pass short left to B.Stokley for 15 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

 

[Coachnorm]

Almost hits Thomas with a score.

Does hit old fart Brandon Stokley with a TD, Stokley always comes thru in a pich when the other D is doing a great job in coverage.

 

[mudloggerone]

Does anyone like high scoring games?

 

[Coachnorm]

Very fast, lots of scoring, lead change with every score.. It doesn't get better then this....can the Ravens answer back?
