AFC Wild Card game 2

Post by aeroparrot »

This is the first Sunday game
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

I think that the Ravens have a much better defense and will give Pennington fits.

Gotta agree with Ravi...Pennington & Co played just well enough to get by the Jets, even with Brett throwing INTs like party favors...play like that won't cut it against the Ravens.

I'm going to say Miami... In this case the Veteran (Chad Pennington) against the upstart (Joe Flacco)... Chad has more experience and this will end up being the decider in the game (because I don't see either the Ravens or the Dolphins scoring much, it's going to come down to game management).

Tough call. 2 rookie head coaches. Ravens have a Rookie QB. Dolphins have a QB with no arm. The owner of the Ravens founded the company I work for so I will take the company line, Baltimore.

Balt's D is too much for the Fish to handle. Still....if Flacco turns it over....Fish has a proven playoff guy in Pennington

Of the four games this weekend, this one, to me, will be the least predictable.

But I'm going with the DOLPHINS.

DOLPHINS WILL WIN!

The Sparano Family has been doing a great job every week (especially these past two months!!) to prepare for their opponent.

It's Our First Home Playoff Game in a Century (so it seems) and we'll come out flying!

Baltimore's D can get abused (see: Giants).

I like My Team's Chances in an upset over Baltimore!

GO MIAMI!!!!!

I'm a "closet" Ravens fan......an ex-die hard Baltimore Colts fan that just could never root for the blue & white after moving to Indy. :o

So I watch the Ravens, but don't lose any sleep over their winning or losing. That said, the 2008 team has obviously gone further than anyone expected. Kudos to Joe Flacco and the rest of the offensive team for finally giving us a reason to watch when the Ravens have the ball. :roll:

I do think it's a lot to ask for a rookie quarterback to play flawlessly in the playoffs (although Ryan of the Falcons looks to have the poise to do so). The Raven's defense can consistently be beaten deep in the passing game. And their 5 losses have all come to playoff teams: Pittsburgh (twice), Indy, Titans, and Giants.

I just hope it's a good game and my hats off to the Miami Dolphins for a great turnaround season.......
On most days I say: "Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been...."
Sometimes I can only say: "There is no dumbass vaccine......"

If something or someone gets you down, just remember: "In a hundred years it all won’t matter.........."

Ravens, Ravens, Ravens
I'm a biased season ticket holder.

Seems as though Mia is certainly a good team, but i'm not sure if they really so anything great.

The ravens D is typically awesome. The offense is really coming along as well. I think as long as the phins have no flukey big plays, the ravens win by at least 10.

Chad & Co. looked terrible today....the Ravens feasted on Mahi today. At least I've called one game right this weekend.....now I'm 1-2 and picked the Eagles to spank the Vikes later today

What do you think they need? It seems to me, from a non-fan's perspective, that they need another receiver or two. Is this a fair assessment?

The 'phins also need to convince Parcells not to walk after Huizenga sells most of his interest. The clause says Parcells can walk, and still get paid if he wants to
