Ochocinco a healthy scratch for this game. I just heard Patriot lover Marshall Faulk declare that Tom Brady was "just along for the ride" during his early years with the Pats...when the team won 3 SBs in 4 years! Unbelievable . MHK

I agree and this is what I am most excited for. However you need to be successful first. If the Pats have to resort to trying trick plays to get out of trouble, ie against the Jets last year in the playoffs, it will not work. More importantly against a team like the Crows we need to establish the run, if we can do that then Brady will truly be able to pass all over them.

i'm nervous. Put me in a coma till the game is over. If they win, wake me up, if they lose, increase dosage!

Free...Well spoken. I don't know about trick plays but maybe they get open on the outside.

Wake you back in 2 hours...by then we will have a 3 TD lead - you might as well enjoy the ending...

Finally got around to watching "Rocky Balboa" last night Rocky. Five stars, good movie, the best of all the Rocky movies IMO. Meanwhile, I'll stick by my prediction of last Sunday night. Patriots 27, Ravens 23.

I am always nervous before game time. Last year in the playoffs it was different because it was the rival Jets. This year at this point I am feeling good about the Pats. If they play good mistake free football we win. It could be close, but I hope the Pats can keep a 2TD lead the whole game. That would make it much easier to watch.
Jim Rome is on right now talking about how hungry TFB is for another SB ring and how he is the leader of "team bitter" because they haven't had playoff success for a while. Not a big fan of the guy but this is an interesting insight he got from some insider. Hmmmm

15 minutes and counting! Getting nervous!!! Want so much for them to kill them. I'm really tired of hearing about Rice, Reed and Suggs. Enough already. What About Brady, Welker, Gronk, Hernadez and Wilfork, Mankins and so on!!!!

Fans of both teams are sick and tired of hearing either the Pats win and why or the Ravens win and why. Now it is soon to be GAME time and the players will shut us all up!

The Pats have the talent to get the job done. We'll soon see if they have the heart. To a man, the Ravens don't think so. But, the Pats will win this one for Mr. Kraft.
Blast these Buzzards...boys!!
GO PATS!!
