Texans Vs. Ravens Playoff Open Thread

It is going to be difficult top the Saturday playoffs games. The San Francisco 49ers scored the game winning touchdown with nine second left in the game to eliminate the New Orleans Saints, and Tom Brady threw six TD passes to demolish Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos 45-10.

In what could be considered the most boring of the four weekend matchups, we have the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Houston Texans, who have done nothing but surprise teams with their resiliency after losing key starters to injury. With rookie third-string quarterback T.J. Yates starting, they will be looking at a very tough Ravens team -- one that has the best balance of offense and defense the team has ever had.

Jump on into the conversation or start it off if you are watching.

I'm going with the Ravens

The Texans couldn’t beat them the first time with Schaub, and I don’t think they will with Yates either.

Should be an awesome defensive matchup though. Time for some real football after that horrible blowout that we ended last night with.

I saw a funny post on twitter from the fake John Madden account about that.

T.J. Yates looked like Derek Anderson on that one

Great job by Yates.

I think the way he has played has ensured him the backup role next year.

Besides throwing three picks

All of them horrible decisions that are completely on him.

Well other than that. But overall he's done well.

His team was already in the Playoffs but he won their first playoff game, he held up against the Ravens despite the 3 INTS.

Yates had no reason to throw that ball

Yates cost his team the game. He was forcing things all game. Making throws that even a HS QB shouldnt try

MOAR SEVERINO!
