Interesting. I lived in Alexandria from birth to 2 1/2 years old.

One major concern I have going into the game is New England's recent trend of allowing huge plays on kickoff and punt returns. Jacoby Jones could be a major factor on special teams.

I don't have a dog in this fight so I'm just hoping for a great game.

If the Ravens get behind early, then this is going to be a blowout. If they don't then I predict a game similar to last year.

Please go down to the last possession!
Is that too much to ask, Football Gods?

Well instead of the word "gimmick" or "cheap," in Madden, people would simply call it "cheese."

It's rude. I don't know why it is so hard for Tom to go up to the line and shout out to the defense in a polite voice "Hey, are you fellas ready? We are going to run our play now. Just wanted to make sure y'all are set and ready for us to start 'er up. If not, we'll sit tight until your ready." Rude.

Why do I get a feeling that the calls are going to benefit the ravens that way the NFL can have a good Ray Lewis story to tell. Similar to when the Pats won after 9/11.

I hope not but it won't surprise me one bit.

And Brady winning #4 wouldn't be a good story?

Because you hate Ray Lewis?

No because the NFL love good stories.

i think the flaw in your theory is that New York clearly would've been the "good story" after 9/11. if the refs make bad calls one way or another it'll be because that's what has come to be expected of them

I doubt that happens. I don't think the NFL tells the officials to give an advantage to one team in order to set-up a certain match-up. The sport is so huge that it doesn't matter who is playing the ratings will be through the roof either way.

A conspiracy theory that helps the Ravens? When they're playing the Pats? The final proof I needed that absolutely anything is possible, lmao.

Right now the game time temperature is supposed to be -1 degrees with a wind chill of -25 and 30% chance of snow.

Brady in the snow = bad for ravens.

Won't matter-the zebras are going to give us 90% of the calls because of the Ray Lewis story.

I was worried until I realized the refs are on our side!!

EDIT: i'm sure they'll ignore the Brady rule, because they like us (and Ray) so much!!!

You guys are just going to keep running with what I said. All I said is I hope it doesn't become like that. So far it hasn't, the refereeing last game was terrible on both sides.
