AFC Championship Game Thread: New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens

[Eja117]

Billy Cundiff nd Lee Evans betta walk bout to baltimore Cundiff is a dead man if he gets caught in the street real talk

I beat you by about 7 seconds in the 2011 NFL Football thread to this conclusion

yea im from Maryland trust me both those guys WILL get beat up if they show their faces in any part of Maryland

If Maryland is anything like the Ravens I'm pretty sure they'll be completely safe.

I get that Evans drop was huge (or, conversely, that Moore's spot on play was huge) and that Cundiff's missed FG was huge.

But in either case, the game wouldn't have been over at that point.

If Evans had made the TD, there would still have been 22 seconds left on the clock. Not much at all, sure, but still time for Brady to fire a couple hail mary long bombs.

If Cundiff made the FG, again, still time for Brady to try one play, and then who knows what happens in OT.

So, while I understand that Cundiff and Evans are the "goats", the reality is that the Ravens were playing from behind, and already "losing" the game leading into the final minute. It just seems unfair to pin it all on those guys.  Why not pin it on Ray Rice? He had a sub-par game by his standards....

That play by Moore is getting overshadowed by Cundiff's miss.  That was an amazingly clutch defensive play. The would have needed a TD in 22 seconds.  Very slim chance at that.  If Cundiff makes the kick, I like our chances much better in OT than the other scenario (especially with the new playoff OT rules). 

Legendary play by Moore.
