Baltimore Is A Bad Matchup For Denver

[thesandman]

Everyone seems to like Denver tonight, but I don't. Denver has relied on it's running game more this year than in the past, rushing for only 25 yards less per game than they have passed for. Plummer has not shown much this season, with just two TD passes, while being intercepted four times. His completion rate of 51.2%, ranks 28th in the NFL.

Baltimore is the best defense Denver will have faced this year. As it is Denver is only averaging 12 points a game so far. Where are their points going to come from tonight. From Plummer in bad weather? He is not the same Plummer as in years past, which weren't that great to begin with. Denver needs to run for their yards and it isn't going to happen tonight.

Baltimore's rush defense is the reason they have covered five games in a row against Denver. Tell me why this year will be different. The Ravens are giving up just 2.9 ypc and should hold Denver to under 100 yards, just as they did four of the past five times they met. The other time they still held Denver to just 104 yards.

Baltimore is just a bad matchup for Denver. No reason why tonight shoud be any different. They outgained Denver in total yards four of the past five games and scored over 21 points in four of the five games, while Denver could score more than 13 points against Baltimore is just one of the past five games they played against each other.

Everything points to another Baltimore win over Denver. And now Baltimore even has a real QB. Baltimore has won 4 of the past 5 games against Denver SU and tonight they are getting 5 points. How can Denver be laying 5 points against a team that has owned them. BALTIMORE +5, that's the way to go tonight.

I agree with you sandman

I also think people think it's Boller or Wright QB'ing tonight and the past baltimore teams.

The fact is it's McNair & Mason and a different mentality in Baltimore. Mcnair's numbers may not be great but he is a major step up from what they had.


GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thesandman]

OK Wayne, that makes five of us on the right side.

Thanks a lot for the write-up...like your points just wish I had read it before I dropped my cash on Plummer.

Plummer looks awful....

we were on the right side, IMO, but it didn't come in. figures.

That's interesting. I was on Denver. I felt I had the right side. It was that type of game. It very easily could have gone either way.

Bill Parcels say game come down to 4 or 5 key plays. The team that makes more big plays WINS. Denver had more big plays.

True. While watching the game I told my buddy that I felt I was on the right side, but Denver would find a way to cover.

The D's were so dominating, I felt it SHOULD be a FG game, but had a bad feeling something would happen to kill a balt cover, and it did.

congrats denver backers.

I agree. I liked Denver. What scared me most was the line movement from 3.5 to 5.5. I figured it would be a tough defensive struggle that might come down to a FG.

i'm not a good matchup for the pizza hut buffet

[thesandman]

Frank, it was only two BIG plays. The two INT's in the 4Q, both in Denver territory. Baltimore was moving the ball into Denver territory with 6 minutes left and the game tied. At that point I figured a FG and they can't lose by more than 4. We still had a chance for a back door cover until the tipped pass INT. For three and a half quarters, Denver was totally shut down and then the turnovers.

ogarza. Good thing you didn't read this first.

When they play each other again, I'll be on Baltimore again. Not that it matters now, but at one point in the game, Denver had one net yard rushing in nine carries. Congrats to you Denver people.

Another play was the INT late in the 1st half. The Ravens dominated the Broncos in the first half. At the end of the game the stats pretty even. Statistically and on the field it was a close game.
