Playoffs Open Thread: Texans @ Ravens

BALTIMORE - OCTOBER 16:  The Baltimore Ravens take the field before the game against the Houston Texans at M&T Bank Stadium on October 16. 2011 in Baltimore, Maryland. The Ravens lead the Texans 10-7 at the half. (Photo by Larry French/Getty Images)

The Baltimore Ravens and Houston face off today for the right to advance to the AFC Championship and play the New England Patriots. Who will win this epic battle of quarterbacks battle of great defenses with bleh quarterbacks? Will Ray Rice destroy the Texans' stout run defense, and can the Texans sustain their overwhelming rushing attack against Baltimore?

Discuss the game, the playoffs, the Bucs, the draft, the coaching search and whatever else here.

well not exactly

I don’t normally agree with him. This is more bad offense then it is good defense.

Only thing that matters in the playoffs is how good your O is.

It’s nothing but shoot outs. Saints are an outliner because of their dumb dome status. Of course the niners had to end the game with a shoot out anyways.

To the super bowl lol. He wont run for 200 yards but the lack of speed on the ravens side is killing them. They can’t adjust that at halftime. Flacco need to play waaaaayyyy better to comeback in this

Baltimore receivers can't separate. That's been a problem for three years now

Boldin hasn’t helped. He can make some tough catches in coverage at times, but he can’t get himself free. And Torrey Smith is an inconsistent one-trick pony.

Dont discredit the texans cbs they have been making plays all over the field. But you do have a point flacco has had time for the most part but he just can’t find anyone

Texans Defense

That’s what I would love to see from the bucs next season. A physical got a chip on their shoulder defense. Makes everything so much more manageable

by gusjackson on Jan 15, 2012 3:30 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

Disagree. It's far easier to put together a high flying pass offence based on TEs

It’s going to take years to put together a defense and by then whatever RB we draft will be too old. they only last 2-5 years.

Seriously

QBs make receivers. If you put Grunt and Hernandez on the Bucs he wont do a damn thing. Brady makes those TEs look better than they really are. Look at what he did for Deion Branch and many other no name WR and TEs

QBs and receivers can help eachother

Gronkowski and Hernandez consistently make tough catches in coverage. That has little to do with the QB throwing to them.

If you put Grunk

on the bucs our offense would have had no clue what to do with him. This is the genius of bellicheck and accuracy of brady. Dont get me wrong Grunk would be good no matter where he went but those two make grunk an all star as they have with so many players.

If you can build an elite offensive line, then you can plug and play most any back. But good backs can make a running game with relatively poor blocking, too.

Oline First

Yeah, I dont care how elite your running back is if you dont have an oline you offense cant do anything. A good oline helps in both run and pass. Btw putupyourDUKES building an oline is OLD SCHOOL FOOTBALL. Win in the trenches both on offense and defense and you will win games even with average talent.

your putting too much stock into first round guys. you have plenty of guys who are drafted in the first round that dont pan out. our take a while to pan out. or pan out in the beginning and then fade away. either way it doesnt matter. you rarely get 10 years of great productivity from not just running backs but players period.

if a QB pans out it’s 15 years and it’s franchise changing. If a RB pans out, it’s 5 years max, and you lose in the first round or two.

Actually its different

If you go by todays nfl. Running backs arent getting 40-50 carries a game anymore. They are getting 10-15 with 5-10 catches out of the backfield. so the life expectancy of a running back has actually grown in my opionion. How do we know the life expectancy of a current new age nfl when its really only been 4 years. According you Ray rice only has one more year left. It doesnt look like it to me lol. Morris Jones Drew should be retired by now.

agreed

Schab could have played an average game and won that game. Your exact words were my facebook status. Im surrounded my baltimore fans at the moment

You know what's different about these two offences?

No featured TE. Either of these defenses would be blown up by a TE powered offence.

no, but i pay attention to the nfl and the trend is for TEs to be the #1 overall position after QB.

with your thoughts.

San Diego should be 16-0 with rivers and gates. The falcons have a hall of fame/one of the best to ever do it. And they sitting at home. If you are foolish enough to spend a first round draft pick on a te then you are Al Davis(RIP) kinda crazy

the Ravens

Let Todd Heap go didn’t they?

by GoBuxGo on Jan 15, 2012 4:05 PM EST via iPhone app up reply actions  

WHAT!

The Ravens had one of the best TE in the league with Heap. They still lost to teams like the Steelers with their offense. Oh and please tell me who play TEfor the steelers when they won the super bowl…..don’t look it up

Whoever comes up with the creativity of the Patriots offense should be our next HC

Paul Allen's the richest

Then Stephen Ross, Stan Kroenke, and Malcolm Glazer is fourth.

Not sure where those numbers are from. Forbes has the Glazers third, just ahead of Kroenke.

The Bucs certainly aren't

And while ManU is leveraged to an extent, it’s nowhere close to Man U’s actual value.

Forbes says Malcolm Glazer is worth $2.6 billion.

they increased ticket prices 42 percent since 2005, and still sell out every game.

They make so much money from that team it’s silly.

The economy in tampa is just too shitty right now.

Economy sucks even more in other markets, and they have higher attendance.

The problem is that so many bandwagon fans switched from being Bucs fans in the early 2000’s and now root for someone else.

And the remaining fans either want to spend their money somewhere else or they just became bored with the mediocrity of the team. Look at the attendance at FSU. Even the Gators are seeing a dip in attendance now that they’ve had a few bad years.
