I'd take the Ravens D over both of them.Flacco - 2010 and beyond. Pennington for sure in '08. Toss up for '09.

Let MoP vent. His team will be joining mine in 30 minutes. Pennington's a very good QB but he's never been able to top a defense like this. With PIT/BAL in these playoffs, Miami was in a very tough spot. If they were the 4 seed they probably would have beaten Indy and had a puncher's chance in Tennessee. But facing BAL/PIT back to back means Miami had very little chance of getting to the AFCCG.Jets still suck ###, we will not give Penny back, your team is going nowhere so get over it.

With that pass putting the Ravens in FG territory again, this game is now over.
lolAnd lol @ the MIA defender(s) who couldn't bring down freakin Flacco on the QB run for the first.PS that is not a catch IMO

Way too soon but if this one holds up, it was a pretty impressive pitch and catch. Flacco has an amazing arm.
It wasn't "perfect" but mostly agree.

Ratbirds need to take a couple of shots here and not just settle for 3.
While I admit the momentum would have to change, a 10 point lead with an entire half to play is a tad early to call the game over.

Great job by Flacco to feel the pressure, slide over and continue to look downfield. Impressive.

I know it looks simple enough but they've got to keep their blitzing timely and not go all out too often. Baltimore has plays in the arsenal to take advantage of that kind of stuff. The Fins' D is playing pretty well IMO.

Miami fans are about to see a VERY short second half as the Ravens will run a ton of clock with McClain and McGahee. Flacco may not need to throw more that six times after halftime.

Agreed. This one is close to over because I don't see Miami scoring two touchdowns or a TD and two FGs in the second half.Ravens D is awesome and if it wasn't for a historically good Pit D, we'd be talking about them a lot more. Ravens D may outscore Miami's O today, since they've already got a 4 point lead.I wonder if Miami regrets the decision not to carry more WRs -- spread offense may be the only way to get back into this game but that's not an option with Miami's personnel.

Not sure what other WRs that they could even dress. Camarillo's out - who else they got?
Jeff Pasquino
Footballguy
Miami - 5 first downs. Ouch.

Can't carry what you don't have. Unfortunately, even after wasting the #9 pick int he draft last year we will have to address the WR position. I tried to deny it for the past couple of weeks but they need some serious help even if it is finding 4 more Greg Camarillos, whatever but Teddy Ginn is terrible and you aren't going anywhere with 2 undrafted rookies as your WR2 and WR3...down by 10, I agree the game is basically over.
Jeff Pasquino
Footballguy
Then I don't understand dressing only three. That's a mistake. What is more important than having 4 WRs available?
Chase Stuart

Maybe getting ugly here. Just such a good defense.

I'm taking Pennington 1.01 in next year's '3-flies-up' draft.

Once Again, Chad Dangles in Miami.

Agreed.Escpecially when you had to know you'd have to pass a lot to win this game.

Ravens have now squandered numerous scoring opportunities and that won't cut it in the next round, assuming they hold on for this one. I'm not counting on it yet, though, like some of you. Fins D continues to play decently, especially in pass coverage.

Good Lord, man. The Fins may lose this one, but they have a lot going on.

Ravens led the league with INTs this year. Can't fault Miami too much.

It would be nice if Baltimore could show some urgency on offense. They continue to get excellent field position and do nothing with it. Time for them to give the D some relief.
Yeah, and P Koch doesn't deserve to be in the Pro-Bowl

Baltimore will not be favored at Tennessee, but perhaps they should be.
I'll happily take them with any points I can get.

I think I'll take the Baltimore D in this game....awesome
uh yeah, actually you can. and should.Time to do laundry and cruise over to PHI/MIN thread in an hour

Coming into this game the injury report seemed to heavily favor Miami. But their lack of receivers is killing them because a sustained, well-timed passing attack is/was their only real chance.

Put a fork in 'em...the Ravens offense finally puts a nail in the coffin. I don't think Flacco throws more than 4 passes for the rest of the game. Fuel up the plane and expect another low scoring "you call it boring" I call it a defensive gem against the Titans

the only question remaining is do the ravens call off the blitzes and pressure. that infamous pressureless defense has let a number of teams back into games this year against Bmore. i hope they keep up the pressure.
