Week 11: Baltimore Ravens vs. Indianapolis Colts

coordinator0 · 11-18-2009, 05:06 PM

The Colts come into Baltimore this weekend to face the Ravens. As we all know Indy is undefeated at this point while the Ravens sit one game above .500. I'm expecting the Colts to remain undefeated after this weekend and the Ravens to fall to .500, but I will vote for the Ravens in the poll (as always). Who ya got?

I think the Colts win big. They always beat the Ravens really, really good.

RagingColt · 11-18-2009, 07:56 PM

I'm not trolling here, just here to ask a few questions. I have Flacco on one of my fantasy teams and his production has really slipped since the beginning of the season. Ray Rice seems like a really shifty back with his best years still ahead of him, but i'm wondering what happened to the offense lately? Oher has looked good so far this year, but how is he vs speed rushers? While the Ravens D doesn't' look quite as good in years past, they still have the ability to create turnovers which I think could make the game Sunday vs the Colts somewhat close.

Cheers.

That is true they always seem to have our #, we can hold manning to 0 TDs and we still lose(2006 playoffs). Then in 2007 it was the game directly after the Patriots game so no one cared. Then in 2008 our #1 CB thought it woud be cool to show up to that game drunk. We have never been lucky against the Colts

well with our offense they know our WR are only good for 8 yard curl routes and dump offs to Ray Rice. So they are keying in on that.

Oher is just a beast in general he only had problems w/ Jared Allen but who doesnt.

We get behind early because of turnovers and Peyton dissects our D. Ray Rice has a monster game, but it's too little too late. Colts 30, Ravens 21.

EdReedUnstoppable · 11-19-2009, 07:59 PM

Well thursday prediction is...

Colts 38
Ravens 14

Ill make another prediction saturday night.

yeah, I think it's gonna be one of those games where our offense lights it up but our defense plays like crap. (i.e. Minnesota Vikings game)

Ravens1991 · 11-20-2009, 11:19 AM

yea I think we can put up a good amount of points, but I see Peyton Tearing this defense up.

I could see it being 38-24 Indy or a score like that

killxswitch · 11-20-2009, 11:27 AM

Other than Oher who is doing well how is your OL this year? Is Jared Gaither back up to speed after his injury? Our pass rush is improved this year so I'm wondering how we'll do getting to Flacco.

Ray Rice will probably have a good game. Colts run D is improved over last year but just middle of the road.

I'm sure you guys will shut down our running game without trying, but I think Manning's passing will put the game away by the 3rd. 30-17 Colts.

Ravens1991 · 11-20-2009, 03:50 PM

Over all the o-line is very good. On the inside Grubbs is playing very good. Chester is a nice OG as well.

EdReedUnstoppable · 11-21-2009, 06:19 PM

Well saturday night prediction doesn't really change much from the thursday night one......

Colts 41
Ravens 14

Hines · 11-21-2009, 07:24 PM

For my fantasy team's sake, give them ball to Raymell Rice!

BmoreBlackByrdz · 11-22-2009, 09:20 AM

Wow, I had dream last night that our defense gave up 44 in the first half, then Ray Rice had 100+ yards recieving and rushing in the 2nd half and we somehow came back and won.

But seriously, is there even a small chance that we can win this game? No pass rush + terrible coverage + Peyton Manning is the QB = LOSS, no matter how good your offense is, there is no way we can keep up with Manning, Clark and Co.

I might not even watch this game.

BmoreBlackByrdz · 11-22-2009, 09:41 AM

We're screwed

America · 11-22-2009, 02:05 PM

so I guess we never worked on red zone offense.

America · 11-22-2009, 02:46 PM

Flacco is a ******* idiot. What a stupid ****. The last thing to do in that situation. What a dumbass pass.

coordinator0 · 11-22-2009, 02:55 PM

He threw it a couple of seconds too early. Rice would've been in for a TD, but unfortunately he didn't.

BmoreBlackByrdz · 11-22-2009, 03:10 PM

Wow, I thought our defense played great, but our offense just couldn't finish drives. I don't have much critism because we played so much better than I expected. (defensively)

some good news for next week - Big Ben might not play next week, he just got hurt.

edit- The Steelers just lost to the Chiefs who we beat, so if we can beat em next week, won't we be in 2nd place in the North?

dcarey20 · 11-22-2009, 06:28 PM

I am so ******* sick of seeing us just find ways to lose ball games. Week after week.

I feel ya man, we could definitely be sitting here with a 9-1 record. Minnesota, New England, Cincinnati, and Indy all were close games that coulda gone either way. Just a ton of unfortunate events this year, late in games.

Hines · 11-22-2009, 06:58 PM

I think I am going to pick the Ravens next week.

If the Steelers keep playing like they did vs. Cincy and Kansas, then maybe. And yall better fix your kickoff coverage, cause Baltimore finally has a legitimate KR.

Ravens1991 · 11-22-2009, 09:39 PM

I will eat Crow, Mattison D is actually looking decent. I still prefer organized chaos but our D looked good.

Reed needs to stop free lancing as much as he does

how bad is fabian washington hurt?

You gotta score on 1st and goal on the 1 that is just ridiculous

Flacco is still a 2nd year QB guys, he will screw up sometimes

This K is a upgrade over Hauschka, he doesnt float the ball like Hauschka did and he made some nice FG. with that being said you gotta make a f*****g 29 yard FG in a close game like this.

I swear god above decided no matter what we will lose and he will make sure Stover got the game winning FG just to stick it to us.

EdReedUnstoppable · 11-23-2009, 02:01 AM

First and goal on the 1, with a 260 lb Le'Ron McClain who knows how to find the endzone........and we do an empty backfield QB sneak????? Cam WTF!? What happened to the package from last year when we'd bring in Ngata at TE. Better yet lets line up Ngata at FB and McClain behind him and pound that undersized D 3 times, if it takes that which it wouldn't have.

This felt alot like the Ravens of 2 years ago, defense playing lights (out other than the 1st drive) and the O could not score 1 ******* TD!
