AFC Championship Game Thread: New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens

should have challenged. In slo mo his left foot is coming up but still on the ground when he catches it, then his right hits, then out.

guess Bellichick is saving his challenges for the second half?

Can the Ravens keep pace all game? Does their D tire?

Pats haven't played a very fast tempo so far.

[PosImpos]

Can't get a stop on 3rd and 14 . . . god this defense is weak.

[ManUp]

This is just ridiculous now.

[PosImpos]

. . . and they get a stop on 3rd and 2.  Alright.

Brady's got a minute.

[PosImpos]

58 seconds to get a field goal or touchdown without turning it over.  Let's do it.

[PosImpos]

What?!  Kneeling with a minute to go and 2 timeouts?

Weak.  That's uncharacteristically cowardly from Bill.

because welker wants to drop a punt on their 10 yrd line...

I think if the Ravens keep pecking on that deep pass they get one, and that would be bad

Yeah, they clearly think they can make a big play on this defense deep in the field with Torrey Smith, and I don't blame 'em.

[PosImpos]

Pats need to do something with the no huddle to start the second half.

[jc3celticsphan]

mccourty should be playing deep not ihedgbo or chung that was bad defense in the secondary if it wasnt for our dline and LBs  getting pressure and stoping the run we be scrwed

[PosImpos]

How much is that decision to kneel before half gonna haunt Bill if the Pats lose by a field goal?

[Neurotic Guy]

In all honesty, if not for the defensive performance last week against a guy who can't throw, what would any of us have expected from the D today?   This is about as good as they have been in a first half all year -- isn't it?

Flacco has played well.  Pats missed a number of opportunities offensively and I can only hope that they will continue to get the field position advantges they've gotten to this point. 

Key drive upcoming.
