My advice, don't look for the negative. Enjoy the hell out of a great game, and a great Raven win.
We played the top rated AFC team, that was healthy and rested, and at a place that is probably the best homefield advantage in football due to the thin air, and won despite facing serious adversity.

As the late great Chuck Thompson would say "Ain't the beer cold?"

Payton Manning...class act:

@CSteele32: Great moment @ 1.5 hours after the game, Peyton Manning and his family waited to congratulate @raylewis52.com #ravens http://t.co/5makjqp9

I made my joke earlier, but I never have hated on Peyton like other "golden boy" QBs. He is a classy and great player

Typical, listening to this "pundits" it's all a out how the Donkeys messed up...not how Joe kicked there ass!

This team and so many of its players have so much heart and resilency. To overcome some of the blows they took this game, this season, and over the last few years. COnsider, '10 was the Pitt divisional game we blew in the 2nd half helped by Boldin and Houz drops late, last year was the Evans drop and Cundiff miss. For this team to battle their way all the way back to this position again shows so much heart. So many mentally dtrong players on this squad. It really feels like we just got over the hump. It feels like it is finally our time, our destiny. Still, Hou or NE isn;t going to hand it to us next week. We have to go earn it.

Yes, the worry is that you still have another game. It feels like we are going to the Super Bowl but we aren't.

A lot of energy was expended last night....good news is we have that extra day.

[Mike B]

All that is being said is true. We did play to exhaustion last night, but as the saying goes, Survive and advance. We have a little longer week, and will play with heart and great emotion next week. The Ravens always fight, and that much you can take to the bank.
I may live to regret this, but I want New England.
The checklist is halfway there.
Beat the Colts in the playoffs....done
Beat Manning in the playoffs...done
Beat New England and get to the Super Bowl
Win the whole damn thing.
Let's go Ravens!!!

BTW, I don't remember Manning even trying to throw the ball downfield. That's surprising.

I love me some Adam Jones. Ryan Wagner was talking about this article on Twitter, and Jones replied to his tweet about it - http://espn.go.com/n... ... ore-ravens

The most amazing quote in Chadiha's story is when he says the Broncos gave the Ravens a "gift". No. Not even close.

The Ravens ST were easily the best in the league this year...doesn't that mean we also gifted them 2 TDs?

Wagner is spot on about that article, it's garbage. No credit at all to the Ravens. But we're used to that in this town.

Yes, he is right...I just tweeted Chahida...he won't respond but that's a poor effort from a national writer...very pathetic.

At least we got to see Jonesy call him a slapdick. LMAO.

[SportsGuy]

Oh and btw...Mr Mackus.

Suggs: 10 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 FF

[SportsGuy]

Ravens had a 97.2% chance of losing before the Jacoby TD.

Btw, that TD to Smith at end of the half was so huge...own 7 and they have the ball to start the second half.

2 weeks in a row a missed FG by the other team proved to be huge.

[SportsGuy]

Where are the Flacco haters? I hope a lot of national guys man up this week(yes you Wilbon).

Joe has 12 TDs and 2 picks in the playoffs the last 3 years.

We were talking during the game. I realized and obviously so did the Ravens that Manning did not have the arm strength to beat them down the field. We sat back on the short routes and made them earn every yard. It took 73 minutes but he finally made the fatal mistake.
Not sure if it was the cold but Manning showed some real limits with arm strength last night.
I also think that is why they sat on the ball at the end of the half and regulation.

[Mackus]

I'm still not convinced this happened, yet. I think the world may have ended about three weeks ago and we're just not aware.

What an insane and amazing game.

Awesome picture I came across on Twitter of Fed Hill after the win last night:

[Chris B]

I still cannot believe that game.

[You Play to Win the Game]

I still cannot believe that game.

Me either. Still shocked. From Denver's perepective, it's no Cundiff, but this one has to sting a lot this morning.
