cool graphic, but I have absolutely no idea what it implies. Is the Ravens D or Brady the fighter jet? Or is the little girl one... or the other?

DUH...Brady is the patsie

Pressure on the QB will be the most important factor in this game, on both sides of the ball. Both QB's can be had if pressure is put on them.

The way I see it, that advantage has to go to us. Antwan Barnes has breathed some lift into this pass rush, it seems. Suggs, JJ, Ngata, and Barnes is much better than what NE has to offer in terms of pass rush.

Joe has had success when he can be protected sufficiently, and I think there's a good chance that NE won't have much success getting to Joe.

If we can win the battle in the trenches, we should win this game.

I agree though I'd take it one step further. I flat out think this game's results will come down to whether or not we get pressure on Brady. If we do, we likely win. If we don't, we likely lose. That simple.

Then I'm assuming that you, like me, assume that NE will get next to no pressure on Flacco? I don't see Banta-Cain ripping us apart...

Not much, but I also think that won't be a huge difference maker. We run far better than we pass (#5 rushing vs. #18 passing). But NE is vice versa (#3 passing vs. #12 rushing). If they effectively pressure us, we should be running more anyway. Their whole offense rotates around their passing game, though. If that doesn't get going, their offense will die a quick death.

Making Randy Moss quit would also be a nice bonus.

Isn't Wilfork out?

Hopefully Mattison will blitz heavy from the get go...just like the 1st play sack against denver! This set the tone for that game and we beat an undefeated team thanks to the pressure on Kyle Orton.

Brady needs to get hit early, hit hard, and hit often!!!
