Hi guys - Really enjoying your discussion on this thread.

Im fairly new to the NFL (about 3 years now), but have been following the Ravens. Only reason was I did an online quiz and the Ravens popped up as my team (also - I really loved the TV show The Wire). For a team that has above average success they dont seem to have many online fans or much discussion?? Just wondering, are they an unpopular team to follow??

Was pretty happy with both results today. Especially that result in Dallas.

Not sure why maybe Baltimore is a city that doesn't seem to get the attention of supporters worldwide.

Because it's a place no one is interested in visiting or have many links too.

They are a young franchise only came in the comp in 1996. So they don't have the generations previous to pass on the support to there kids.

Even though they have been pretty successful and around the mark most of the time.

i think the pack have a good chance, but if we play our best we should win. but nfl is a strange beast

Most dangerous playoffs for a #1 seed is always the divisonal week i feel.

You have a week off and it can disrupt momentum against a side coming off a playoff win and on a roll. Teams have been caught out before.

Generally though if the #1 seed wins the divisional game they generally go through to the SB more often then not as they get back into rhythm and home ground advantage.

Philli really have stunk the back half of the season. Limped into finals and being blow away by Tampa.

I think Sirriani will get the arse and Philli will go for Billicieck.

Incredible really something has gone wrong internally for them to collapse like they did after there start coming off a SB loss.

 

[hindy111]

Yep. 10-1 and to fold like that. They ended the season as a side I would put in the bottom 10 of the NFL

Super bowl party
Green bay Packers vs Buffalo bills

Hopefully we won't be too rusty, and come out firing. Packers are young but they have a lot of talent. They seem to have hit on yet another QB. Will he be as good as the previous two?

Hope not.

By the time they line up on Sunday, most of our best players won't have played for three weeks. That's a huge chunk of time to be out of action at this stage of the season. I'm hoping it will pay off in a positive way.

I think Belichick and Philly would be a perfect fit, tbh.
He might be able to choose between them and Dallas, but I reckon Philly would be a better landing spot for him.

Awful. Just awful.
I don't remember seeing a collapse like it. I'm absolutely stunned at how their season turned out.

yeah though the pack were good, the cows really beat themselves. will b interesting to see love under a bit more pressure. the packs line backers might be the key as i don't think they are great cover guys. my main worry is our kicker if its close
