We overcame Caldwell's completely idiotic and remedial play calling!!!!

Seriously, Caldwell has shown us that he needs to be replaced for sure next season. Way too predictable, not adjusting, repetitive, etc.

Joe's game should have been even better...had some drops.

He played great...Rice stepped up running the ball.

Lots of crucial plays...the Pitta catch in OT that allows us better field position was huge.

Another key was when Denver was up by 7 and had the ball...the defense never allowed us to get behind by double figures...that was huge.

Ultimately, this game was about the Oline. On our podcast, I talked about how I didn't like our chances of getting a lot of long developing big plays due to the Denver pass rush...well, our Oline shut them down. It's Oline is really good and makes you wonder, because of our cap space, do you bring McKinnie back next year?

The Oline was the MVP of this game.,.they played great.

The draw call on the drive that ended in the GW Fg was a great call...love that play selection. Been calling for that.

Just an incredible game...one that will be long remembered in Baltimore. I can't remember a more exciting game. I was glad to see Jacoby Jones step up and make a big play and even more happy to see Flacco play well.

@vleach44: Sorry @espn @nfl we did not get the memo to stay home and not show up for game. It will not be a Manning and Brady AFC championship game.

I never doubted we would win the SB during those playoffs...so, I think I may be more excited after this win than I was after the SB.

Sorry Birdland, you were listening to Dierdorf too much tonight.

Against the NFL's 3rd ranked defense.

You score 38 points (31 not counting the pick six)

479 Total Yards

155 yards rushing
324 yards passing

The Draw call to set up the Field Goal was beautiful.

Caldwell didn't panic and kept the run as a threat during the drive.

He did a great job tonight.

I still can't believer the Broncos kneeled the ball with 2 timeouts at the end of regulation. Hearing the crowd booing their home team was fantastic heading to OT.

How many times did we run up the middle for little gain twice and then have to pray on 3rd down?

This is a case of Dierdorff being right for a change.

The draw call was beautiful. Instead of doing the Joe Paterno handoff up the middle, we mixed it up and did a delayed handoff which made all the difference.

Caldwell called the game like a high school coach. If running up the middle is working, then yes, keep going to the well. But it was ineffective and we should have adjusted.

I'm thankful for the win, but that kind of play calling isn't going to win consistently.

Proud as hell to be a Raven fan tonight. They had so many times where they could have given up but they kept coming back. Great Job by Joe and the wideouts who made enough plays to keep us in it and then Graham and Tucker delivered.

The Ravens realized early that Manning could not get the ball downfield and they made them go short pass by short pass. Manning made the big mistake at the end.

Totally disagree. The running kept the D as rested as it could be. They stayed after it, and eventually Denver broke. Rice had 130 yards. Dierdorf got so much wrong today it was laughable.

Anyway good guys win.

Go Ravens...2 to go.

Agree to Disagree.

Those runs were still positive plays.

Not sure how you complain after scoring all those points against a top five defense.
