Ahhh! One more game till the Super Bowl. One more win! That's all they need to do. If they get one more win they get their 5th conference championship in 10 years. That's crazy. What a run, it has been fantastic. I want them to continue with it. I think they can.

I think it will be close, Pats need to stuff Ray Rice. Their pass offense doesn't scare me, I think McCourty keeps getting better and better after an awful sophomore slump type of year. I feel he can get Boldin in check.

Really hope Brady can handle Ed Reed, Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs. If he can calm down and not choke this game away the patriots are going to be in the Super Bowl for the 5th time in 10 years. Wow, I still can't get over this run.

Go Pats!!!!!!

If we beat the Ravens, oooh man

[Joselo16]

The only things that has me thinking is if Ngata will be able to get the upper hand on Connolly and mess up Brady's pocket?! With enough protection Brady can pick apart their secondary. On the defensive side, I hope we score quickly and force them into a passing offense. I loved the way our guys kept destroying the Bronco's offensive line, it was beautiful seeing all those negative yardage plays we used to see back in the championship years. If we can do it again, we definitely win!

Al Riveron's crew will be running things



I like this guy. This isn't the Celtic board we really shouldn't be talking about refs, but during this past week where the officiating was AWFUL, might as well bring it up.

[ZedgetRedd]

I think we win this, Brady is too much to handle when he is on a hot streak.

[KGboss]

Did this thread get changed? i thought there was a different one.

Anyways Pats will win this 30-20. Time to get payback for 2009.

[Celtics_Champs]

Nah, same thread.

[Stunnaboy2K11]

Has anyone looked back at that 09 team? man was it sad to watch, Brady throwing to a washed up Moss, Edelman, Maroney, Faulk and Morris.

Yup. And look at our weapons this year. Gronkowski is easily the best offensive option left in the playoffs. Wes Welker is a monster, and Hernandez is just as lethal. The best offensive group left right now. The defense just needs to come up huge.

[KGboss]

Suggs is on First Take and Skip is egging him on asking why he didn't get any sacks and why he disappeared through the whole game.

SHUT UP SKIP! Now he is going to have the game of his life.

[Celtics_Champs]

Hate to sound like a teenage girl, but skipsssssss soooooo yesterdayyyyyyy.

Seriously though, when they went from Cold Pizza to First Take, the Skip vs Stephen A. debates were great. Fresh from your average ESPN programming. 4 years later, 5 maybe, they're still doing the same crap. No one cares. Well, I don't at least. That's my little rant on him.

Anyway, yeah stunna and kg, that's a crazy fact people forget. Edelman was our leading reciever that game cause welker was out and they shut down moss. No way they lose like that in a playoff game to the ravens again.

My point is don't tell the guy he sucks right before he will be going into a big game. Will only make him want to have a big game.

[Celtics_Champs]

Oh no, I understood. Shoulda responded to it normally but it sent me off on a rant about him

[KGboss]

Oh I agree, Skip Bayless is a complete joke. I just worry that Suggs is going to try and get 5 sacks or something now.

[Celtics_Champs]

Yep. Suggs is a weird cat I could see this getting him more hyped.

[Celtics_Champs]

Man...1 more day to this game. It's been quite the leadup.

What was your favorite part? I think the Ed Reed stuff was a little blown out of proportion. Suggs was my favorite part though MY QUARTERBACK CAN DO ANYTHING. MY QUARTERBACK CAN DO ANYTHING

[KGboss]

I mean the whole week was a pretty good lead up. But at least the radio I listened to was a lot of trashing Flacco, but calling the Ravens defense still scary. Ed Reed has a sprained ankle though C_C, that is true. Whether it will be a factor or not is yet to be seen.

My favorite was probably Rex Ryan yesterday though. just because the fat douche had to get one more stab in at the patriots saying the ravens are going to win easily, because Brady gets rattled easily. pretty sure that's what everyone has been saying about Flacco there Rex.

With how bad Rex is at prediction he just guaranteed a win

Let's hope the defense plays more like they did last game than like the rest of the season.
