How do the Ravens respond to that loss? (2 Viewers)

[timschochet]

this question is important to me, because I own both Peyton Manning and Joseph Addai, and this is my first week of the playoffs. It's not like I'm not going to start either of them, but the way the Ravens played last week, I am very nervous. Now they have yet another night game at home, this time against the Colts.

The question is, did the Ravens give their all last week and will be more like the team that played the Steelers or the Chargers? Or will they again rise and play over their heads in front of a national audience? I'm talking specifically about the defense here and how that might affect Manning and Addai.

thoughts?

That was their superbowl this year....undefeated team, national spotlight and the lost in bitter fashion. I think you can stick a fork in them just like the weeks leading up to the Pat game. I wouldn't expect a ton from Addai since the Ravens will still be stout against the run, Manning will be fine though.

They continue to lose lots of games like they have all year.

I think the Colts will be lucky to make it out of this game with all of their starters.

That's been the case for them all year it seems.

The Ravens will keep it just close enough for Manning to justify still passing to Reggie. Both those guys are white hot right now and with Baltimore coming off the short week that leaves them with no time to prepare for the onslaught. Also, emotionally the Ravens are toast. McGahee is coming off a huge workload and no rest, so all the Colts have to do is shut him down, which they will...and let Boller keep throwing the ball to their D.Manning goes for 300+ and 5 TD'sAddai doesn't do much until lateWayne goes for 14 recs 185 yards and 4 TD'sMcGahee 15-36 no recs. or TD's.Final: Colts 34-17 because AV misses an XP.

If somehow the Steelers can gain one game on the Colts I think they'll have the tiebreaker because of conference record ( I recall reading that but I didn't work it out myself). So while I don't think it will happen, I'm still cheering for balt.

I think the Pats come out and talk about how pathetic the Ravens are...which pisses off Baltimore enough that they upset the Colts

Ok so I'm dreaming but dreams can happen!
