Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots: Tom Brady against Ray Lewis;Joe Flacco and Ray Rice vs Patriots' defense... those are the big matchups that will determine the game... both Brady and Lewis are future Hall of Fame members,but is the Ravens' defense better than the Patriots' offense,who lighted up the Denver Broncos' defense for forty five points,last week... the fact that Brady is a future Hall of Fame member,and does not get rattled too often does not bode well for the Ravens,no matter how many points your team may score against the Patriots... both tight ends,for the Patriots(Rob Gronkowski,and Aaron Hernandez),along with Wes Welker are deadly offensive weapons,for Ed Reed,and company(Ravens' defensive backfield)to contain,for entire game...
Joe Flacco is a quarterback,for the Ravens,that is an enigma to figure out,because the Ravens' offense can be tough to handle,because they have a running back in Ray Rice,who may be underrated in the realm of NFL running backs,this season,but is very tough to tackle,but can Flacco raise his game to keep up with Tom Brady,and company,and torch the Patriots' defense,which was 31st,in NFL,this season,in yards allowed... the Ravens' defense has been dominant this season(they beat 49ers,16-6,Thanksgiving Night,by sacking Alex Smith,nine times),but Joe Flacco has to have his best game,as NFL quarterback,to keep up with the Patriots' potent offense,because no matter what Lewis and company does,it will be up to the Ravens' offense,to take advantage of the Patriots' mistakes,if the Ravens can do it,because Tom Brady does not make many mistakes,but to tell you,the Patriots have won only one game in post-season,since 2007,but they scored 45 points,against Denver,last week...
if i was the Ravens' team,i would score first,and then clamp down,on Tom Brady,with that dominant defense...
if i was the Patriots' team,i would tell Brady and company,to keep foot on gas pedal,and do not let up,at all...
