AFC Championship Game Thread: New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens

[PosImpos]

Good snap. Good hold.  Terrible kick. Feel bad for the guy. 

Better to be lucky than good.

Pats get a huge break.

Truth be told -- the offense could have won this game and didn't.  The D was bad, but held when they had to. 

Yeah, Patriots have a lot to work on if they want to win the Super Bowl.

[ManUp]

I really can't even understand how we won.

Ugly win, but I'll definitely take it.

[RebusRankin]

Lucky he missed.

[manl_lui]

WE WIN!, lets go Pats

Sterling does moore!  2 big plays.  Tell me -- I had the sound off-- was there any talk that the Moore play in the end zone might be reviewed.  Looked like he may have caught and controlled it.

My heart could not have handled OT.

Yeah. That BS will not fly there. Something the Ravens wouldn't know anything about

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

Wow ... the two biggest plays of the game by Sterling Moore ... unbelievable!!

The Pats are going to the Super Bowl!!

I honestly didn't think they'd make it through their first series.

Awesome!!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing . . . once you catch the ball in the end zone and control it, isn't the play immediately over?  but they called it like it was a legit defensive play, so i'll take it

All week pundits said that if Brady does not play well, this team can't do it.  Yet, they win on an off game by Brady.

Hope Gronk is 100% in 2 weeks.

Hahha

One more thing.    After the Spikes interception, what was Brady thinking throwing into double coverage deep like that.  It was a heck of an inteception by the Ravens (2 good plays on the ball), but here they were on the verge of a win and he made a very bad decision throwing that ball.   Hope he got that out of his system.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that the Patriots played as bad a game as they could have played (other than some big stops from the defense) and they still beat a very complete team.

I guess you gotta say that the Patriots showed today that they can win ugly, which isn't something they've been able to do for the last few years.

I think to establish possession you have to make a football move. Sterling made his play within a second.

Sometimes I think Brady tries too hard to make the big play.  I guess he's earned the right to gamble with all of the big plays he's made, but it's worth noting that the Pats won championships back when Tom was more of a game manager.
