Maudi, You OK?

[Bruce]

If you bet the mortgage on Baltimore as 7 1/2 point favorites, they didn't cover the point spread.

[Hortical]

What the big upset tonight. Eli carving up the Packers secondary.

[Baddaz]

sorry bruce... i knew the packers would falter against the giants defense... if you recall, i made a post that it will be a patriots / giants super bowl... it is still looking that way...

only one of my predictions didn't come thru this weekend... the ravens just barely scraped past the texans...

[Hortical]

Actually it will be a Giants-Ravens Superbowl, and defense wins.

[Baddaz]

you will also be taking back yuh chat... it's like you haven't been really watching the patriots... patriots offense is great and their defense, while not great is more than adequate to restrict teams to a score the pats offense can blow away...

Somehow, I am sharing your sentiments. Giants all the way!!! I know you are possible thinking of Patriots victory but I don't think so...

[Muadib]

What made you think ANYBODY was going to beat the Ravens in Baltimore..???

Dat sound more like emotion.. yuh going get annedah shocker next week.

Check yuh history on the last time the Ravens played Marsha Brady in the playoffs in New England..

In case you missed it.. is Defense win Championships.. ask the 2 Super Star QBs dat get knock out so far...

[Muadib]

lol !! woiee !!

"while not being great"

Mi hear a rumour seh dem was at the bottom of the league...

[Muadib]

I am ok Bruce.. how yuh stay ?

NFL is unforgiving to defending Superbowl Champions (especially those with suspect defense)...

One of the posts on the local message boards says it best:

(Wisconsin's scumbag Governor) " It's OK. Scott Walker would have sold the Packers' place in the Super Bowl to the Dallas Cowboys."

[Baddaz]

maudib, just watch de ride... yuh nuh understand much bout football suh yuh get a pass... don't get caught up in de regular season stats... its the playoffs, new season and matchups play a role for any one game... de pats defense is more than adequate to stop these remaining mediocre offenses... none of the remaining teams can stop the patriots offense...

[Muadib]

I been watchin the ride since 1986...

Analyze the Matchups.. I have..

Patriots Corners are poor to mediocre (Evans, Boldin and Smith all day). If they play 2 Deep to protect the Corners we have the Tight Ends and Ray Rice to make them pay underneath.

Their run defense is a joke (4.6 ypc allowed)... (Run Ray Run)

They have no deep threat and Brady has cement feet. (Pagano will dial up blitz pressure all day) after enough hits from the 3rd best sack unit (not neccessarily sacks) he will be hearing footsteps 2nd half.

Prediction: Brady will have to score 30 points to win... against the Ravens in the playoffs.. that is a loooow probablity.. it aint gonna happen.

Ravens 27
Patriots 20

[Baddaz]

an mi think yuh would be more objective... suh what appen tuh de odda side of de analysis... yuh joking... suh mek we wait till sundeh fi de sekklements... mi not even gwine seh i told you so...

[Muadib]

The other side of the analysis is Marsha Brady.. I already told what gwine happen deh suh (3rd Best Sack Unit in the League) vs cement feet.. yuh need a map ?

Patriots have no running game suh how mi gwine talk bout dat ?

They have no deep threat so how mi muss talk bout dat ?

Ravens will leave their corners in man coverage with Reed playing single deep cover and play the Tight Ends and Woodhead underneath with Ray and Pollard while applying heavy pressure (5 man rush often) on Brady.

What else yuh waan me tell but what gwine happen ??

[Baddaz]

tenk yuh... yuh tink it suh easy...

Ravens will leave their corners in man coverage with Reed playing single deep cover and play the Tight Ends and Woodhead underneath with Ray and Pollard while applying heavy pressure (5 man rush often) on Brady.

mad comedy... mi not even a waste time pon dis cause all now nuhbady nuh have de personnel fi deal wid de gronk and hernadez togedda... yuh gwine get a likkle suprize sundeh... just watch an see... anedda 45 point game from patriots... ravens will be lucky tuh get 13...
