AFC Championship Game Thread: New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens

[PosImpos]

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.

Ravens offense isn't that much better than the Broncos offense.

Brady definitely looks off today.

I like the look with Hernandez as the back.

[PosImpos]

Really like how Green-Ellis has looked against the #1 rush defense.

great beotch move run by Brady.....and I'm loving the running by the Law Firm. He seems to want it

Big play from Hernandez.

Huge drive from Hernandez to start the 2nd half.

I did not like that call on 3rd and short.

[PosImpos]

Still think the Pats don't win this game unless they win the turnover battle, or at least break even.

I didn't like the 1st and 10 call -- went to the Hernandez pitch once too often (maybe twice too often).

Now would be a good time to break it even.

Yeah, Bill getting a little bit too cute there.

[PosImpos]

Come on let's get the stop here.

[PosImpos]

man, this defense just can't get a stop on 3rd and long.

I don't want to have to rely on this defense come fourth quarter.
