[JimmyVegas]

Ravens are #8 overall in defense and the pats are #13 in defense overall

Hi bud are you Raven Guru from th old cbs lock thread ? Im bearfan#one GL Either way.

Not I, but I do remember browsing that thread though lol

He can coach offense barely, the problem with that is that his system is so vanilla it requires great oline play and a rb that knows how to run his system to even have a chance, all d coordinators have to do is watch film of his and either shannahans offense over the last 20 years to scheme for it, he literally has no wrinkles to it. As a head coach he is one of the least inspiring people on the planet. The two years he had success in Houston were despite his spinelessness. If someone wants a coach that will never take an in game risk they can have him, even when the Texans had good seasons the whole fanbase called for his head because of his inability to have balls. The only reason he has had success with Harbaugh is because Harbaugh is the exact opposite and makes him take chances. In summary: Fuck Gary Kubiak

Genius reply ... sounds like you lost a lot of money betting on the Texans when Matt Schaub was completing touchdown after touchdown in the way of interceptions to the other team. The difference between this years Raven's offense and last years is appreciably better and Kubiak is largely responsible for that. By the way how did those Texans do this year with your new coach ... you'd better hope they get a real quarterback in the near future or he'll be gone just like Kubiak.

Kubiak is ok as an offensive coordinator but he is not a head coach, he doesnt have the demeanor to coach a winning team and he falls in love with people like Kevin Walters (he kept him as a second reciever to Andre Johnson long after everyone else knew he was a nothing, making the Texans passing game so easy to defend it was a joke).

I didn't lose any money on the Texans in Kubiaks tenure but i sure did gain a lot of gray hair and frequently threw things at the television when he refused to have any balls whatsoever. He is the biggest "ho-hum" guy on the planet, the list of totally idiotic football moves he made is endless. See: Frank Bush, Joe Marciano, Kevin Walters, Matt Schaub, etc etc.

As a colts fan, I hope Balt pulls this out. Regardless of the outcome of the ind game this whole forum would be better off with the ravens winning this game.

Yep, it's the defenses that will make the difference in this game. I don't see BAL scoring much unless they can get Brady to turn the ball over. NE will score enough though, somewhere in the 24-30 pts range.
Also, like your plays. Good Luck.

The other thing I find really funny is people point to the Ravens, and their pass rush, which is good, no doubt a good pass rush. A couple ballers on that D in Dumervil and Suggs. However...

What happened to three teams with a BETTER pass rush than the Ravens when they visited THIS Patriot team?

Lions? Lost by 25.

Denver? Lost by 22?

Miami Dolphins (elite pass rush)? 20+ points (don't know exact blow out score)


Not saying the Ravens get blown, I don't see that. They will play very well for themselves tomorrow, it's not a good match up for them and the Patriots simply have too much talent on all 3 phases in this matchup. Like -7 NE, the fact that the public is slightly more so on the Ravens helps even more, plus having Goodell in your back pocket (Robert Kraft)

Bal vs Sea SB would be nice.
