AFC Championship: Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots

If you don't think Tom Brady is on a mission to make a point against a Ravens team that made him look mortal two years ago in the playoffs, then you don't know Brady. In the past, the Patriots might have lacked some physical receivers. That isn't the case this year when you have tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez doing a lot of the dirty work. Baltimore's defense is still fierce, but their offense has really struggled on the road, almost being as bad as Cleveland's offense was the majority of the year. This would be a different contest if the Ravens were at home; on the road, I like the Patriots to win by a couple of possessions.

These games can’t start soon enough. Man, I’m going to miss football when it’s all over.

As in like, next December?

Yeah, when the Mayan come back from the grave and reap havoc and death across the land in a zombie apocalypse to end all zombie apocalypses.

Don’t worry, I’m already stocked up on Hornady ammo.

What’s awesome, I’m actually extremely well prepared for this Mayan Zombie Apocalypse. It’s not that my preparedness actually has anything to do with the up coming MZA, it’s just that Ohio has some of the best fire arms legislation.

Which is why I’m reluctant to leave Ohio after school. Honestly, my coworker walked into work yesterday with his 12 gauge pump and everyone thought it was cool as shit.

Cliffs: Ohio and guns are like America and Apple pie.

Seriously though, stock up on Hornady Zombie ammo.

My personal favorite piece, though it’s not mine, it’s within reach, is the custom built .223 A4 with Hogue grip. It feels like it corrects for you (it doesn’t really, just crazy accurate). Basically a zombie eater.

I have yet to have a personally owned gun, but if a zombie apocalypse ever comes down, I’m grabbing the genuine Colt .45 and the Colt .44 for a sidearm downstairs from my father’s armory.

That’s one thing I envy about you guys. We grow up in CA thinking guns are bad. They brainwash the kids.

It’s the certain people with guns. Not the guns.

AND WHEN ARE YOU MOVING?!

Was planning around June but I got laid off a couple months ago so that is delaying the process. just need another 4gs and I’ll be straight.

You have anything? I’ve been saving to get something so I can start going to the range.

No but I know what I want. My dad isn’t the only one who reads American Rifleman and NRA on the toilet.

It’s one of the most fun hobbies you can have! I’ve got a 7.62mm SKS with a modernized stock body and whatnot, for mid-to-large game out of state. I also have a Beretta m92fs for CMP. And a 12 gauge pump action for deer in Ohio.

I’m nicknamed dead eye in my father’s hunting circle. First doe I ever tagged, I caught her in the eye with my 20 gauge single shot.

No clue what those are, except the shoty.
Without saying his name, my bro-in-law is one of the best shooters in the country. Has a shit ton of guns. He’s US gov police supervisor (BP) and does competitions around the country.
I got to hold his military issued M16 once and fell in love.

A .223 CAR A4 is similar to an M16. We have a classic AR15 as well.

Did you ever see the Sons of Guns AR15? Monster.

I like American Guns better. Wanna bang the shit out of the guy’s daughter.

No, that’s still pretty much Sons of Guns.

Same concept, same channel, different show.

Sons of Guns

There’s a lot of annoying fluff in that show, but I did see the one with three AR15s all put together. It would be a neat novelty toy to play with at the range, but not much practical use.

No, no. They made the perfect AR15. It’s about to be put into government use IIRC.

Oh ok, I’ve never seen that one.

The stuff on SoG is excessive. AG is more practical and the chicks are hotter.

SoG does a lot of practical projects however

3 rotating Uzis is very practical.

Didn’t say every episode was practical. And why not? I mean learning about how they created the pieces to put together their gatling shotgun was pretty sweet.

Also, they did an episode where they created an extremely precise and quick as shit Uzi.

I was joking with that comment.

I’ve always assume a shop like that would do a ton of normal projects off air.

And you’d be right.

Dat Quarterback

Specific to DBN too! =P

What the hell is this?

Haha, dat awesome.

Had a dream last night that RG3 was on the Browns. He looked good in a orange helmet.

I had a dream before that we drafted him.

I had dream last night where I was trying to escape a murderous drug lord, like I was a younger Walter White.

My dream was about me trying to get with this girl in my major. It was oddly specific. I no longer have random dreams. I do lucid dream every once in awhile though.

So you finally got your wet dream?

To be slightly disgusting, I don’t need wet dreams.

:coolface:

No kidding, I had a dream last night that the Browns snuck into the playoffs at 8-8, then made it to the AFC Championship where they were going to play the Jets. Best dream I’ve had in awhile.

Pretty sure the Browns lost after you woke up.

I expected as much.

I hope NE kicks the crap out of them.

Oh man. NFLN just put Kurt Warner in a dunk tank. I love Kurt =[

<3 NFLN

Rich Eisen is one of the best hosts yet one of the worst persons ever at anything football related.

Jay Glazer is a borderline midget.

Well, games about to start, which means I have to leave the room. I really need to fix my laptop.

Yay I’m stuck in our library writing a close reading analysis instead! Damn do I miss my winter break.

I just started my first paper. I’ll start it again tomorrow afternoon lol. I’m so bad at focusing on school work

Writing 2-3 pages on 1-2 lines of poetry isn’t really easy unfortunately.

Don’t use conjunctions, two spaces after every period, double space and conform margins to look right but are actually more narrow.

True story.

Ha I already do that.

I had to write a 4 page paper on a Kayne song last semester. American Political Theory was sweet!

Don’t put two spaces after the period, that says, I’m 50 years old and think a word processor and a typewriter are the same thing.

It’s actually proper grammar.

Word processors automatically put the right spacing after the period, two spaces is too big and looks terrible.

Professors want two spaces.

No they don’t and it does not.

The two spaces versus one space dispute is the Hatfield-McCoy feud of desktop publishing.

Come on people

At least this game is on CBS.

anyone but the ravens….

This the game thread?

think so

Steven Tyler….oy

Yeah, that was awful.

I’d be willing to pay 5k..to the pats fan who ran out there and shaved flaco’s stache

I’ll contribute to that mission

Flacco looks like such a douche with that fu-manchu ’stache

What in the.. Steven Tyler=failure

Leave it to Steven Tyler to scream like a bitch during the anthem.

He said the wrong words at the bomb line as well.

yeah, caught that too!

When was the last time Nick Cage was in a good movie?

the 90s?

raising arizona..funny

Actually, I liked the National Treasure movies.

Sorry, don’t get it. I don’t watch snl.

Who are you talking about?

That’s not from SNL? Looks like it.

Same.

Those type of puzzle movies are cool.

Second one sucked though because it was all about the characters and not the story.

Yeah, the Mt. Rushmore one wasn’t as good.

Honeymoon in Vegas.

Sometime before he went bankrupt.

Hernandez was open.

Baltimore offense is stinking it up.

But they have faith in Flacco says Simms.

Surprised he spent time saying that rather than nut hugging Brady or Raven’s D.

My man Edelman making people look foolish.

Looks of touches so far. Nice strategy hoodie.

Brady just went Yao Ming face on them.

Interception? First down. HAHA.

Ravens are looking frustrated.

Ravens are looking like they’re going to lose.

Brady is picking them apart. Ravens are on their heels.

That screen was set beautifully. Welker is just so slow.

If Flacco continues to suck, any chance they put in his backup?

I don’t understand why Brady threw that?

Flacco cant throw farther than that?

He was moving. No set feet. No hip.

50 yards on the run isn’t horrible.

I'm confused, is that Flacco? Or Lemmy from Motorhead?


OR?

Lemmy >>>>> Flacco

Yep. Much more talented.

Cisco builds for the human network, makes robots that fix themselves!

WHERE’S MY HORNADY ROBOT APOCALYPSE AMMO?!

Here we go. TD TIME!

Lee Evens gained a bunch of weight?

Why is it so hard to study for my CPA exam when football is on

My Social Studies Teaching paper is going to wait till tomorrow night.

I can never wait until the night before to start papers.

Oh don’t worry, my header is done.

Because CPA is boring?

no debate there

When I moved to SoCal I started dating a girl who’s father was a CPA and she was taking classes for it. Sooo boring when she started talking about that shit.

No wonder she’s an ex.

Not really. Her husband started calling my house. She was lying about a bunch of shit to me. I ran from that mess.

THAT’S AWESOME

My bro in law, that I mentioned above, ran a background check on them. They were married. It was more weird than awesome. But a good long story nonetheless.

Good characteristic for a CPA, lol

Yea. Pretty much every young CPA I know end up doing something else in their late 20s

It’s still a good profession though.

Sure. IME – there are 2 types of CPAs. Those who hate it and those who love it. If you already hate it, eject sooner than later.

Damn it, Flacco is coming alive.

The Phantom Menace in 3D.

1 more dimension of suckiness.

True dat. That movie sucked.

If you have the time, watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxKtZmQgxrI

Almost thought Welker blew his knee out again

Yeah, that looked like a funny hitch when he went down.

Those mortar lobs aren’t working out so well for NE.

Flacco got destroyed

Was that hold too obvious to be called?

A Torrey Smith would be nice.

Apparently Michael Oher doesn’t understand defensive flags.

New England’s D is making Flacco’s job easier.

Good “stop” there

awfulannouncing Awful Announcing
“What a job by Joe Flacco” – Phil Simms on horribly overthrowing Torrey Smith. #facepalm

I think everyone would appreciate this Twitter account.

That was overthrown, but Smith also still had a chance on it but misjudged it by about a foot.

not even that, but he was wrecked as he was hit

BossWard43 T.J. Ward
The ravens d looks slow

Oh okay, TJ.

You gotta problem with the Boss?

I don’t think our teammates have much room to talk about underperforming.

YOU’RE FIRED.

Also, it’s the shoes,

Worst bullshit penalty flag ever. The hit was clean, he just wrecked Shipley’s shit.

I’m kind of disappointed that the Patriots are not running away with this one… yet.

Out of beer. Need to haul ass to the gas station.

Or just pee in a bottle.

You’re all dumb. haha

Give Rivers the Man of the Year Award. He spends a lot of time with his charity.

Someone tell me when halftime is over?

Those 3rd down pass plays with routes before the mark only work for NE.

HA! That was a huge flop!

Bullshit, he steped out

Man that guy is fast.

Good job McCourtney, you’re so awesome.

Why was Edelman playing Safety?

He is on D often.

Don’t get why it’s legal to grab someone’s facemask on offense but not defense?

I don’t think it is, you can stiff arm, but you can’t grab and pull

Yeah it got Cribbs early in the season

The Cleveland Browns, the only team who actually gets called for Offensive Pass Interference.

It’s not legal. You can touch it but not grab it.

Nor did I. I knew you could hit the facemask on a stiff arm but you couldn’t grab at the mask and hang on.

Dude drug the defender 5 yds into the endzone with him by the mask. Not a single word about it by the commentators. AND they replayed it several times with clear views of it. Guy had fingers wrapped and just pulled like he was pulling a wagon.

Sure looked out of bounds before the goal line.

I thought so but it seems anymore if it is anywhere near close they call the TD.

Too bad there wasn’t a ref standing right there watching it.

I hate the Ravens and their Stoooopid faces.

I thought this game would be close.

I think the next game will be just as close.

agreed

And it will be sloppy. That field was flooded earlier.

Yeah but I didn’t want it to be. I wanted to see the Ravens get humiliated. And now NE turns it over. What suck.

wow. What a stupid mistake.

THE ONE TIME I ROOT FOR NE

So, then, it’s your fault

Groncowski is dead. Awesome.

Less close than the last Ravens TD.

terrible spot. absolutely terrible.

Brady had to work for that one.

Gutsy play by Brady.

Phil Simms hearts Joe Flacco…WTF?

Same Phil Simms who doesn’t think Luck is very good

Phil Simms is an all-time douche.

Sweet!

Well, that was an unfortunate turn of events.

Tom Brady sucks today.

Wow, bad throw. Other shoulder Thom.

Going long was the bad idea. Should have stayed with what was working on the last drive. Eat yards, eat clock.

yup. Hindsight aside even.

This is the game here

Denzell Washington in almost every movie-
exposition/low tenstion – calm, smooth, collected
raising tension- laughs inexplicably
high tension/peak- shouts inexplicably
saves day. the end.

And it’s typically awesome.

Not so much anymore. Tired.

but did you ever notice when it is his time to yell he sounds a bit like Magic Johnson before he finally shouts direction?

OK Brady. Now don’t do anything stupid.

Sweet, I can nap before the next game now.

It ain’t over yet. Pats need a first down. And, of course, no turnover.

Shit. I hate Ed Reed.

Vince Wilfork is a beast

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Pats’ defense is just too weak for words

Shit!

Just heard some Ravens fan yell at that drop

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CUNDIFF BLEW IT!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Whoo hoo!

He missed!!!!!

Go home Ravens!!!

this is a game thread right?

AWWWWW FUCK YEAHHHH

HAHAHAHAHA

What’s Ed Reed goin to say this week?

Why didn’t the Ravens use their last time out to allow their kicker to get set? That was very strange, no? Oh well.

Laces out, shankappotomas!

Thats why I love Phil. He wouldn’t have fucked that up..

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thank you Bill Cundif!

Aw he’s still a Brown in his heart!

Dawson is awesome. Cundiff is a Dallas reject and soon to be a Baltimore reject……….

I still need to have the 49ers win so I can actually root for someone in the Super Bowl.

GO NFC! WOOO!

EXCEPT I HATE THE GIANTS ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE PATS WOOO

NOT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

WELL THEN YOU’RE IN LUCCCCCKKK

It is so, so nice when our rivals suffer a Browns-esque loss.

Dude, now I have to go for San fran, Cuz I cant stand that dumbass Brady.

They just embarrassed our whole division….

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Steelers aready did that at Denver

double WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Really, you can’t even score on the worst rated defense. Flacco needs to stay, so I can enjoy watching these meltdowns some more.

LOL. I’m glad the Ravens signed Cundiff. Ol Jelly Legs.

I’ve got to go over to the ratbirds site and gloat…

Daaawwww yeeeaah! It’s that time again

How about a new .gif? On second thought, this is fitting…

Not to bust on my Buffalo Rumblings friends, but the Cundiff miss is much worse!

This depresses me… Sorry, but I’m feeling Father Time ticking down my neck.

I hate when he does that.
