The lesson: Don't block Wilfork with one dude.

Man.  This could be the game.

I totally think it is, and if I were a betting man it would be on the Ravens.

yeah, i think Rice is gonna rip off a big run or Flacco will throw a 15-20 yard pass and the Ravens run it a few times then score a TD with 1:30 left.

I had Flacco for about a 9 yard pass to like a TE or something, or possibly to Rice out of the backfield for like 7 and 2 yards after catch.

No way in heck I expected the defense to make two critical plays in a row

Gonna need Gronk and Hernandez to make some big plays driving it down the field here.

And absolutely cannot turn it over!

[Trifecta]

My goodness... a stop. THANK YOU!!

Defense comes through huge on 2 possessions.

Can put it away with 2 1st downs.  BJGE.

You're not alone.  Though I didn't expect Brady to throw an INT right after Spikes got an INT.


Honestly, the defense has played better than the offense today, all things considered.

Hercules! Hercules !

Branch finally gets a catch.

[PosImpos]

No huddle here, or just eat up as much clock as possible?

[PosImpos]

Aw man.  Big 3rd down coming up after the 2 minute warning.

[Neurotic Guy]

That was bad. 

Why not throw it there?  That was the time to throw.  Now we have to throw.

Huge offensive play coming up.

[PosImpos]

Ravens defense has to make a stop to keep the game within reach.  Pats offense has to convert a 3rd down to (most likely) get the game.

Who you got?

[Eja117]

I got the Pats

Pats could run. If so, it's Ravens, but will need to use a TO.

[PosImpos]

Bah.  Defense wins championships.
