GAME THREAD - Ravens/Patriots

[Sephy]

Welcome back to another exciting week of Ravens football!

Ravens inactives today:
John Beck, Jalen Parmale, Gooden, Oniel Cousins, Tony Moll, Tony Curtis, Brandon McKinney and Kelly Talavou

Paul Kruger is ACTIVE. Gooden will sit with his concussion - McClain gets the start. Troy Smith will play #2 after being sick this week.

Patriots' inactives are Joey Galloway, Terrence Wheatley, Bret Lockett, Benjarvus Green-Ellis, Jerod Mayo, Rich Ohrnberger, Simmons, Brace

So - Welker and Wilfork play.

Gonna be a hell of a game today. See you at kickoff! GO RAVENS!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Holy crap I'm nervous about this one. Mainly because I know we have the team to win this game.

Can't stop shaking...

[RavenTD]

Well the Flacco jersey is on.Which I have worn in all 3 victories.But now I brought out the purple camo's to the wifes chants of "Oh my gosh you nutter."
Just to give that extra vibe from England UK.

Last worn at the Raiders game at our visit over to M&T a few years ago.
Darn it cannot get the two top buttons done up.Might have a Mike Singletary moment with the reporters.

Go Ravens:happyanim.Have to hide from the score as I cannot see it live.Only when it is archived on Gamepass after the conclusion of the game.

[baltimore_hokie]

all the talk is about what we LOST since last year. nothing about what we've gotten to replace it.

[GaRaven]

It is about taking the NEXT step to becoming what we think this team has become....ELITE!!! :happyanim

[Will04films]

here we go game time, time to show everyone how good we are..... i hope brady finds himself on his ass all game long

[Sephy]

Harbs doing a little punchin of the bag on Willis. Love the vibe. LETS GO BABY!

[baltimore_hokie]

Harbs doing a little punchin of the bag on Willis. Love the vibe. LETS GO BABY!

man, i loved that. i just reiterated to my buddy how glad i am to have him as our coach.

[Sephy]

Ravens get the ball first.

Carr fumbles at the 18 and NE gets it. Way to fucking go.

This dude sucks.

[Flipping Birdie]

hahahahahahahaha!:grbac:

[baltimore_hokie]

wow.

[4G63]

O-M-G....great start guys!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Fucking hell.

[darb72]

Let's go ahead and cut that loser now. I was excited to get Carr in the off season but he just flat out sucks. I'd rather have Figurs back.

[Flipping Birdie]

good new is we're good in the red zone. playing to our strenghs. ha!

[Sephy]

1st NE at the 12, empty set, INC for Aiken, nice defense by Fabian.
2nd, give to Maroney for 1. No hole.
3rd and 9, Brady SACKED BY PRYCE!!! Beat his man after a 3 man rush!

Good stand by the D, but FUCK YOU CHRIS CARR.

[4G63]

Good sack Pryce!!!!

[baltimore_hokie]

red zone D, gerat play trevor!!

[Will04films]

freaking awesome sack on brady, only rushing 3 too

[Raveninwoodlawn]

I've seen enough of Carr.

He just cost us 3.

Put Webb back there.

[Sephy]

3-0 Pats.

Seriously. Where the hell is Webb? Carr has been an abomination at punts and kickoffs.

[GaRaven]

Special Teams -- NE 3 / Ravens 0!!! DAMN IT!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Started out with the 4-3 first two snaps. Looked pretty solid. That 3 man rush on third down with Pryce off the edge was good.

We're down, now Chris Carr, hold onto the damn ball.

[baltimore_hokie]

exotic look with only two donwned linemen, only on the left side of the line. i like it.

[Sephy]

Carr runs it out AGAIN and stopped at the 19.

[Flipping Birdie]

not liking this....

[Raveninwoodlawn]

What the hell Joe?

[4G63]

Come on Joe....settle down.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Can't start slow in this one guys. Get your heads in the game.

[Sephy]

1st, PA, incomplete for Mason.
2nd and 10, shotgun, pump, ball hits Wilfork in the chest and he drops it, trying to dump to Willis.
3rd and 10, Pats jump.
3rd and 5 now, complete to Mason to the 41 and a first.

[Sephy]

1st, Willis for 4 going left.
2nd and 6, complete to Mason who is open for 10. Nice.

[Sephy]

1st, false start on Gaither.
1st and 15, give to Willis who has no hole, loses 2.
2nd and 17, empty backfield, complete to KW for 9.
3rd and 8, Pats jump again, complete to Mason for 9. First down!

[Sephy]

Nice roll right from Flacco to complete that.
1st, from the 33, PA, complete to Mason for another 11 and a first.

[darb72]

And of course Mason is sitting on my fantasy roster today.:grbac:

Flacco has had a couple nearly picked. He needs to calm down just a little.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Joe, you gotta be careful with the ball dude.

[Sephy]

1st, give to Rice who makes an excellent cut for 6.
2nd and 4, going for McClain on the quick pass out of the backfield - almost picked by the crossing LB.
3rd and 4, KW motioned into the backfield, Joe screaming for the ball, doesnt come so he takes a TO.

[GaRaven]

Flacco: Deep Breath!!! Relax!!!

[Will04films]

patriots D is looking pretty jumpy today

[Sephy]

3rd and 4, Clayton motioned into the backfield and Mason hit on the bubble screen for about 7. NICE!

[darb72]

Micheal Orr with his first career reception.:happyanim

[Sephy]

1st and goal from the 7, fade for Clayton incomplete.
2nd, PA, Flacco hit as he throws, caught by Oher worried about the fumble. Loss of 8. Good awareness by him anyway.
3rd and goal from about the 15 now, delay on the Ravens. Can't fall apart NOW! DAMNIT!
3rd and goal from the 20, caught by MASON TD AND MASON IS HURT

[GaRaven]

Praying it is only the wind knocked out of him!!!

[Sephy]

I mean what a catch by Mason but SHIT, is he gonna be OK? He fell HARD on his back. Hopefully he just got the wind knocked out of him.

[Will04films]

damn what a pass by flacco...i hope mason is ok....looks like maybe he got the wind knocked out of him with the way he landed

[baltimore_hokie]

the timing, the throw, the catch were all freaking gorgeous. he looked like he just got the wind knocked out of him, nothing with the shoulder...

[Sephy]

That was a hell of a throw by Flacco too - he was a split second away from a sack, fumble..

Mason walks off. PHEW.

[Flipping Birdie]

Mason is having one of those hero days. Sick and catching everything.

[darb72]

Any news on Mason, or did he just get the wind knocked out of him?

Hell of a throw and catch.

[Sephy]

It is so awesome to have a QB who can make a throw like that. Time for the D to step up too.

[Sephy]

Maroney to the 24.

Aaron speculating a shoulder on Mason, but nothing confirmed.

[Sephy]

1st, rushing 4, complete to Welker for 11.

[Sephy]

1st, run outside for Maroney, pushed out by D-Fox for a loss of 2.
2nd and 12, quick to Edelman who eludes 2 tacklers to hit the sticks and get a first.

[Sephy]

Gonna be a LOT of quick passes today.

1st, absolutely ZERO pressure on Brady who has all day, dumps to Maroney who made 59 miss. Don't recognize who that is. To the Ravens 38.

[baltimore_hokie]

ellerbe??????

[Lee Van Cleef]

That was Ellerbe flying through your screen, missing maroney.

[YRKPARAVEN]

If Ellerbe wants to get playing time, missing tackles like that is not the way

[Sephy]

1st, give to Maroney for 1.
2nd and 9, Brady moves goes for Aiken, looks like a catch and fumble but the officials rule it incomplete. Good call. Nice D by Washington.
3rd and 9, Brady eludes the blitzer, incomplete for Watson. Roughing the passer called on Ngata. UGHHHHHH

[darb72]

Ngata with a roughing the QB. What a crock. These refs are doing their best to hand the game to the Patriots.

[baltimore_hokie]

what the hell is ellerbe in there so much for???

[Sephy]

Ngata had his hands up, made contact with the face mask, Brady does a ballerina fall. Ridiculous call.

1st, from the 22, Faulk for 8.
2nd and 2, Taylor gets 2 and the teams scuffle. No flags.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Ray, tackle the man, don't try to strip the ball.

[Sephy]

1st, Brady way overthrows Aiken who was covered well by Walker.
2nd and 10, draw to Taylor to the 5.
3rd and 2, Taylor handled after 1. Pats have a choice to make, and will go for it.
4th and 1, measurement time

[Will04films]

[QUOTE=Sephy;166996]Ngata had his hands up, made contact with the face mask, Brady does a ballerina fall. Ridiculous call.QUOTE]

yeah i agree....what the hell...he hardly touched him...stop protecting tom brady refs

[Sephy]

Full yard for a first.

4th and 1, Morris gets the 1.

[Lee Van Cleef]

C'mon D. Gotta step up against this running game.

[GaRaven]

What you CAN'T have in a BIG GAME!!

Turnovers and 3rd down def penalties!!! Well 0-2 at this point!!:mad:

[Lee Van Cleef]

Holding they were holding pryce!

Jesus

[Sephy]

1st and goal from the 1, 2nd quarter starts, false start.
1st and goal from the 6, Ravens getting held HORRIBLY, no call. Brady scrambles and gets to the 3.
2nd and goal from the 3, Brady sneaks for the TD.

10-7 Pats.

[baltimore_hokie]

Holding they were holding pryce!

Jesus

that was absurdly obvious, i don't get how that's not called

[GaRaven]

Anyone else see the hold on Pryce? -- My GOD!!

[Sephy]

Pryce gets held ridiculously all the time and it never gets held. I don't really get it. Questionable if he got in the endzone there too.

1) Doing a nice job of coverage, but they need to get to Brady more vigilantly, especially if he's going to continue quick snap counts.

[darb72]

that was absurdly obvious, i don't get how that's not called

Because we're not allowed to touch Tom Brady. I thought the Squeelers were a pathetic bunch of cheaters but Patriots fan are just as big a pieces of crap in my opinion.

[Lee Van Cleef]

This is such BS. And even when the network replays it and clear as day Pryce is being held the commentators don't mention it.

BS.

[Sephy]

Carr to the 24.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Brady gone to the locker room!

[Sephy]

Brady runs to the locker room.

1st, toss to Rice for 4-5. Mason is back in.
2nd and 6, complete to Heap to the Pats 49!!

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Eh...the Ngata penalty was ticky tack...but it gets called probably 80 percent of the time no matter who the QB is.

You can't touch the QB on the head. Period.

So while it's good to get your hands up, you can't slam your arm/hands down towards the QB's head. Period. Or you will risk getting called.

It is just how the NFL is these days...like it or not.

[baltimore_hokie]

i clearly just heard the "HEEEAP" chant, that's sweet

[Sephy]

1st, Rice busts left for 12. Nice run. Brady comes out of the locker room.

[baltimore_hokie]

where's the roughing the passer there on NE???

[darb72]

So they're allowed to knock down Flacco after he throws the ball but we get a 15 yard penalty if we touch Brady?

Anybody surprised?

[Sephy]

1st, PA, deep for Mason who was 1 on 1 and TONS of contact, but both fighting for the ball.
2nd, blitz comes and Flacco is hit as he throws, inc for KW.
3rd and 10, Flacco dropped back like he was screen passing, but goes deep for Mason and Merriweather makes a nice play to defend it. He was there for the TD.

Punt downed at the 9.

[Sephy]

Commentators say if Flacco steps up he hits Mason for the TD. I'm not so sure. I think if he steps up he gets slammed and possible picked with a wounded duck throw. I guess we'll never know. Credit to Merriweather for the nice PD.

[Sephy]

Actually, I think they're right. He should have stepped up.

1st, Welker tackled by Ellerbe after catch of 4.
2nd and 6, Faulk stopped for a loss of 1.
3rd and 7, blitz comes, complete to Morris, gets 8 and a first. DAMNIT.

[baltimore_hokie]

D can't get off the field, not looking good

[Sephy]

1st, complete to a wide open Watson to the Ravens 45. Again, not enough pressure.

Landry blew the coverage completely.

[darb72]

How is that not intentional grounding? There wasn't a receiver within 10 yards of that pass.

[Sephy]

1st, PA, Ellerbe penetrates on the blitz, Brady eludes the sack and throws away. No grounding?
2nd and 10, inside give to Morris for 5-6.
3rd and 4, blitz comes and Brady just throws it up. Flag flies, and it is OPI! Declined.

[baltimore_hokie]

there we go D!!!!

[Sephy]

Pats punt from the 40 - touchback.

[Will04films]

How is that not intentional grounding? There wasn't a receiver within 10 yards of that pass.

i was wondering the exact same thing

[baltimore_hokie]

How is that not intentional grounding? There wasn't a receiver within 10 yards of that pass.

it's tom freaking brady!!!!

[Sephy]

Ray came in untouched on the blitz. That's how you rattle Brady.

Big drive for the O - need some points here.

[Sephy]

1st, nice playfake by Flacco, a DT got in on the pocket, Flacco slips and underhand flips to Heap for 5-6.
2nd and 5, big blitz comes, ball dropped by Willis at the sticks.

Some Raven is down. Might be Gaither.

[GaRaven]

Well, change of field position....need this drive to get some points....

3rd and 5...MOVE THE CHAINS!!

[baltimore_hokie]

OL needs to step it up

[Sephy]

It is Gaither. And he's still down. Can't tell what happened.

[Sephy]

He's still down. They only take this long for neck/head injuries. Really hope he's OK. He's moving everything, though.

[Nightman]

Gaither's head hit Flacco in his back with his helmet.

[52decleetzu]

Looked like a concussion.

Huge 3rd down here.

We need to run the ball more.

I am all for Flacco winging it but we should not be throwing it this much.

[Flipping Birdie]

Tenn is down 20-3 against Jacksonville. What the hell happened to the Titans?

[Lee Van Cleef]

First glance it looked like his knee got bent at a bad angle.

[Sephy]

They're worried about a neck. He's being boarded and collared.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Nope, that's his head/neck.

[baltimore_hokie]

hope the big guy is ok. i guess oher will slide to LT and yanda will come in at RT?

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Looks like Gaither's head went square into Flacco's back or Ty Warren's helmet.

He is moving fine, and I think he will be ok in a week or 2 as he has always seemed to have consciousness and movement....this seems to be all precautionary.

[Sephy]

Not only is this potentially disastrous for Gaither, but for our OL and Joe. Is Yanda going to play LT?

[52decleetzu]

As Harbaugh came off the field he said "he's good" two times to the players he was passing.

This is all probably just precautionary....let's hope

[52decleetzu]

Not only is this potentially disastrous for Gaither, but for our OL and Joe. Is Yanda going to play LT?

I think Oher goes over the the left side and Yanda plays RT.

[Sephy]

52: Saw that too. I'm sure they'll take him to the local hospital, get some x-rays, CTs, and just rule out a spinal injury. He should be OK.

[TrueBeliever]

Hey everybody, Patriots fan here saying I hope Gaither isn't hurt too bad. I can't remember the last time I saw an injury hold up a game this long.

[GaRaven]

Better safe than sorry! Always!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Here's hoping it's not serious and he has a speedy recovery.

[TrueBeliever]

Okay, back to the game - may the best team win! :thumbup:

[Sephy]

3rd and 5, Oher now at LT, Flacco scrambles left and they call grounding.

Great punt, returned to the 37.

[darb72]

Ok, so when Brady is standing in the pocket and throws the ball no where near a receiver, it's legal. When Flacco is outside the pocket and throws it, it gets called?

This game is bullcrap.

[Sephy]

1st, Maroney for 4.
2nd and 5.5, PA, Brady pressured, complete to Moss for 16. Nice catch on the sideline.

[TrueBeliever]

Ok, so when Brady is standing in the pocket and throws the ball no where near a receiver, it's legal. When Flacco is outside the pocket and throws it, it gets called?

This game is bullcrap.

Hey, I'm just amazed the refs actually flagged a team other than the Patriots for roughing the passer. :261695:

[Sephy]

1st, Maroney loses a half yard.
2nd and 11, blitz comes, complete to Morris gets 1.
ANOTHER ROUGHING THE PASSER.

OH THAT SI SUCH BULLSHIT

[PARavensJeff]

WTF - Grounding? I must know nothing about football, great effort by Flacco throwing left handed

[Sephy]

Carr blitzes, complete to Welker, spins away from Landry for 15.

[darb72]

We've lost this game. There is no way we cna beat the Patriots and the refs. I'm gonna watch another game where there isn't blatent cheating.

[PARavensJeff]

Where's the holding call on Moss for holding Foxworth on the pass to Welker

[baltimore_hokie]

haha this is a joke, both drives extended by terrible penalties

[Raveninwoodlawn]

This just isn't our day.

[Sephy]

1st from the 12, draw to Morris, who's tackle is missed by Landry, TD Patriots.

Landry is completely USELESS this year.
He blows the coverage on Watson. He misses 2 tackles in a row.

17-7 Patriots

[myfavoriteboxer]

Looked like the Browns on that play.:grbac:

[GaRaven]

Dumb Penalties!!!!

[Sephy]

Webb is now returning kicks, but he has to take a knee.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

The entire team has been off today.

Joe has been off, the OL is struggling, and the D keeps bailing the Pats out with dumb ticky tack penalties.

[Sephy]

Will pay a lot of attention to Oher on this drive.
1st, Rice up the middle for 8.
2nd and 2, another give to Rice who breaks out to the 39. Great run and audible by Joe.

[baltimore_hokie]

get 7 here and it's a new ballgame.

roughing the passer for the helmet to helmet hit on flacco???

[Sephy]

1st, Flacco sacked at the 30, has his Face mask PULLED BACK. And that is called. Thank GOD. So blatant.

[PARavensJeff]

Wow, we got a call!!

[Flipping Birdie]

Ha! this game is going to be decided by number of roughing the passer calls.

[baltimore_hokie]

WOW!!! we actually got it!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Hmmm. I thought that call was a bit weak really. But their passrush is very quick off the ball.

[Sephy]

1st now from the Ravens 45, quick pass to KW who drops the pass, and Merriweather almost had a pick. Poor hands by KW on that one. Oher looking a little porous on the left.
2nd, empty backfield as Rice motions left, complete to Rice for 8.
2 minute warning.

[PARavensJeff]

Washington has to make that catch

[Sephy]

3rd and 2, CAUGHT BY RICE FOR 3. Wow, what a catch!

[baltimore_hokie]

did we leave our offensive line in baltimore???

[PARavensJeff]

Nice effort by Rice, way to go Ray

[Sephy]

1st, from the 45, 1:30 left, complete to KW to the 33. Flag down. Defensive holding declined.

[PARavensJeff]

Thanks AD

[PARavensJeff]

These refs are terrible, that was a catch, why are we wasting time on a review

[Sephy]

The play is being reviewed. Looked like he still had the ball. Even if not, there's defensive holding for a first down.

[baltimore_hokie]

we REALLY need 7 here

[GaRaven]

We need at least a FG.......Here is where the kicking game is HUGE!!

Well,, now we know the Pats gameplan...

Where is #23!! Willis needs to get the ball!!

[Sephy]

Ruling stands.

1st from the 32, screen to Rice gets 14 and a first. NICE. Sanders of the Pats is hurt.

[Sephy]

We need at least a FG.......Here is where the kicking game is HUGE!!

Well,, now we know the Pats gameplan...

Where is #23!! Willis needs to get the ball!!

Willis has no place in a 2 minute drill. Rice has played excellent.

[baltimore_hokie]

Willis has no place in a 2 minute drill. Rice has played excellent.

agreed, although i may be biased due to the fact that i have rice starting on my fantasy team this weekend.

[PARavensJeff]

O NO!!! What was that!!!

[Sephy]

Gaither heading to the hospital now. We need 6 here.

1st down, 1:15 left, from the Pats 17, play fake, just a terrible throw by Flacco right to Bodden.

Just awful. Worst throw of his season.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Fucking hell. What was that?

[baltimore_hokie]

and it could get worse with 1:11 left still

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Miscommunication.

Even if Clayton stayed there for the comeback, Bodden was all over that route.

[Sephy]

I fear Flacco may have thrown the game away on that one.

[Sephy]

1st, 4 yard draw for Taylor. Harbs takes a puzzling TO with 3 seconds on the playclock left.

Something needs to change at halftime. Like quick.

[GaRaven]

#23 needs a place in the gameplan! Not on this drive!


Joe has played NERVOUS....settle and let it happen...

[Sephy]

Now the Pats just kneel it out. Harbs blew it there big time. Big time.

I'm gonna have nightmares about that Flacco INT. this should be a 3 point game right now.

[Lee Van Cleef]

We need to stop them running and stop them blitzing the crap out of Joe.

[GaRaven]

Were not out of this by a long shot....

But we are shooting ourselves in the foot...over and over and over!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Oh, and I'm fucking sick of the bonehead penalties. When are we going to stop doing dumb things?

[baltimore_hokie]

pretty miserable first half all around

[riprulz8]

Oh, and I'm fucking sick of the bonehead penalties. When are the refs going to stop doing dumb things?

Fixed that for you.

[Galen Sevinne]

well that was a very disappointing half. beating ourselves.

[52decleetzu]

We need a minor miracle come back and win this now with that INT.

Had to have points there, just can't come away with nothing. Right before those last few plays I said to myself this is the drive that will be the deciding factor. 2 plays later they pick it off.

Now NE gets the ball coming out, and we have to basically hold them to no points while we score twice just to get back even.

THEN we have to outscore them the rest of the way.

Anything can happen but the odds are now stacked against us in a big way.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Like it or not you can't hit the QB's head. We learnt that in a previous game. You also can't hit the QB below the waist.

Why is it when we play big opposition we revert to form and start doing this stuff? Why? I like Harbaugh as a coach and I'm glad we got him, but until that stuff stops this isn't the complete culture change because it's undisciplined.

I desperately want us to win this game, but this looks all too familiar.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Yeah, we aren't out of it, but we have pretty much beaten ourselves so far.

Carr gave them 3 points.

The DL needs to realize that Winter is back there and goes overboard quite a bit on the roughing QB calls...that is something they should have been aware of as soon as the ref crew was announced.

Even if ticky tack...don't come down with your arm/hand down on the QBwhen it is near the head. And it kinda looked like Suggs could have tried to avoid the knees a little even though he barely grazed him.

Joe has been off quite a bit...don't know what happened on that underthrow to Mason when he was behind the secondary on that Merriweather deflection...and that last INT was killer. You don't throw that in that situation, we could have at least taken this down to a one score game.

Now the Pats get the ball to start the half...the D has to rise up and stop them early to give us good field position.

Just little things you absolutely have to take into account in the game.

[myfavoriteboxer]

This team has the heart to come back. And the way we moved the ball on those 2 big drives I feel pretty good about our chances. Now we just need to play a good second half and it's a winnable game.

[Lee Van Cleef]

And I agree, this team has the heart and ability to come back, but they need to take a look at themselves and start playing with their heads on.

[darb72]

Both Patriot's drives were kept alive by roughing the passer penalties. Both penalties were questionable at best.

The refs want the Pats to win. That's obvious.

[PARavensJeff]

Where is that big time offense we have come to know & love? This team needs to wake up @ halftime. & the Pats get the ball to start the 2nd half, need a big stand by the D to start the 3rd qtr!!

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Like it or not you can't hit the QB's head. We learnt that in a previous game. You also can't hit the QB below the waist.

Why is it when we play big opposition we revert to form and start doing this stuff? Why? I like Harbaugh as a coach and I'm glad we got him, but until that stuff stops this isn't the complete culture change because it's undisciplined.

I desperately want us to win this game, but this looks all too familiar.

Yeah, people are bitching about the refs, but the rules are the rules.

We see it EVERY game, EVERY year for the past 4 years or so...you cannot touch the QB's head no matter how minor. We learned that last year against the Titans.

And they made it clear, that you cannot dive at the QB's legs, and while Suggs was blcoked, he took a good 3 or 4 steps before lounging at Brady's legs.

Guys, the rules are the rules no matter how much we bitch about it.

I don't see this as the refs screwing us at all. A lot of you are whining about things we see in every game in the NFL.

[Sephy]

The offense has moved the ball very well. They just need to make sure Oher is solid there and be ready for this blitz.

[Sephy]

Maroney run out at the 21.

[52decleetzu]

The refs gave them 7 points and Carr gave them 3.

There is your difference in the ball game right now.

[PARavensJeff]

Will Nantz & Simms ever get it right? It's not pronounced Nata!

[Sephy]

1st, complete to Welker for 4.
2nd and 6, stretch to Morris loses 3-4. Ngata blew that play up.
3rd and 10, Brady overthrows Welker. Flag down. Illegal contact on Carr.

FUCK ME FUCK ME FUCK ME

[baltimore_hokie]

you've got to be kidding me

[PARavensJeff]

These refs suck - where's Mike Carey

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Now THAT was a terrible call.

[Flipping Birdie]

Both Patriot's drives were kept alive by roughing the passer penalties. Both penalties were questionable at best.

The refs want the Pats to win. That's obvious.

both roughing the passer calls were clean.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Hang on a second, Welker was pushing off.

[darb72]

Yep, we're pretty much boned in this game. The refs are going to make sure the Patriots win.

EDIT: See, now that's another bullcrap call. 15 yards on Harbaugh.

[Sephy]

1st, Maroney for 1.
Now they flag Harbaugh for unsportsmanlike. You gotta be shitting me.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Nice one Harbaugh.

[PARavensJeff]

Nice Harbs - He just told the ref "That was a bullshit call" & now he gets unsportsmanlike conduct call

This is a disgrace.:ref:

[52decleetzu]

Welker extends his arm to push off, and they call it on Carr.

Yet Simms says he "grabbed him"

Fucking bullshit.

Here we go again, Harbaugh was livid over the PI and now he gets 15. he said that was the 3rd time to the refs before, guess they did not like being challenged.

Never seen it before in the NFL but we do today!

[phatboy]

Godamn fucking refs giving to the fucking pats

[Sephy]

1st from the 42 now, PA, Brady eludes a sack, flags fly, complete to Maroney for a 30 yard gain but offensive holding brings it back. Reed was down, but he's up.

[Galen Sevinne]

and when it falls apart for Baltimore...it falls apart fast and in a grand fashion. the more things change the more they stay the same.

all we need now is Bart Scott

[Sephy]

1st and 20 from the 32, blitz comes, Watson makes a good catch as he beats Washington for about 17. I'm sorry, a TE should NOT beat a corner in that situation.
2nd and 3, complete to Morris for 6.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Blame the refs for that Welker call, but Harbaugh was just dumb. Anyone going to believe me now about this passrush problem?

[Raveninwoodlawn]

We have no edge rushers on this team.

Kruger is not an edge rusher. Neither is Pryce. Both should be interior rushers on passing downs.

Where is Barnes?

[PARavensJeff]

Come on D we need a turnover

[Sephy]

Blitz is just NOT quite getting there.

1st down from the Ravens 45, pass thrown behind Welker.
2nd and 10, blitz makes Brady move, throws deep and incomplete off his back foot.
3rd and 10, Brady SACKED by JJ! FINALLY!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Finally another sack.

[PARavensJeff]

JJ will not be denied

[52decleetzu]

Throw a flag on that bitches.

I'm waiting......

[darb72]

You mean that's not roughing the QB?

Ok, offense, we need you to score here.

[Sephy]

Punt downed at the 16.

COME ON JOE!

[PARavensJeff]

OK Joe let's go

[52decleetzu]

We have been granted one more opportunity by the football Gods to make this a game, we need to score here.

Good stop on defense just keep doing what we have been doing on offense, move it right down the field.

[Sephy]

1st, complete to Clayton for 2-3. Edge rushers getting in quickly.
2nd and 7.5, Willis gets 4.
3rd and 3, complete to KW for 4.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

We need to run the ball.

Pats are just sitting back in zones and we are struggling to protect.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Run the fucking ball.

Jesus.

[PARavensJeff]

Only 8 rushes today, WTF?

[PARavensJeff]

Heeeaaappp!!!

[Sephy]

Oher looks better this drive.

1st, Rice motioned out, pass goes off of Heap's fingers and almost picked.
2nd, Flacco pressured, has no one, dumps to Rice incomplete.
3rd and 10, pressured HARD, rolls left, complete to Heap for 15! GREAT PLAY BY FLACCO!

[Galen Sevinne]

please develop a running game

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Joe is living dangerously.

[PARavensJeff]

Held the ball too long

[Sephy]

1st, from the 41, Rice for 3 up the middle.
2nd and 7, slant for Clayton batted up and again falls incomplete. Almost picked again.
3rd and 7, blitz comes, no one open, and Flacco is sacked.

[Lee Van Cleef]

I hope that the posters that went over the Pats board are going to go back after the game and eat their crow after bigging up our O-line. We're getting manhandled.

[Sephy]

Faulk SMASHED, ball comes out, but there's a Pat RIGHT there. Just all too lucky. At the 10.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Even the fumbles fall their way.

This feels like those Steelers games last year.

[52decleetzu]

I hope that the posters that went over the Pats board are going to go back after the game and eat their crow after bigging up our O-line. We're getting manhandled.

And so it begins.......

[Sephy]

I hope that the posters that went over the Pats board are going to go back after the game and eat their crow after bigging up our O-line. We're getting manhandled.

Things changed a lot after our big left tackle went to the hospital, and our rookie RT had to change positions, and our recovering guard is now playing RT, you know...

[Galen Sevinne]

I hope that the posters that went over the Pats board are going to go back after the game and eat their crow after bigging up our O-line. We're getting manhandled.

if we ran some draws and screens, it wouldn't be the case. this gameplan is on crack.

[Sephy]

1st from the 14, Brady sacked, fumbles, EDWARDS RECOVERS TOUCHDOWN RAVENS!!!!!!!

[52decleetzu]

Things changed a lot after our big left tackle went to the hospital, and our rookie RT had to change positions, and our recovering guard is now playing RT, you know...

No ,he doesn't.

YEAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bitch now woooohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!

[darb72]

HELL YES DEFENSE!!!

Brady sacked, fumble forced and a TD.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Are we watching the same game? They've been in our backfield all game long. The play where Gaither got injured he was flat out beaten. Stop making excuses.

I agree with Galen though, this pass happy gameplan is insane. We need to run the ball.

And YES! Defense with a big play!

[PARavensJeff]

There's that turnover I was talking about!!! Yea D - Suggs

[Sephy]

Finally some explosion from Suggs and we are BACK IN THIS FUCKING BALLGAME

[myfavoriteboxer]

:celery:taz::beer:

[52decleetzu]

Are we watching the same game? They've been in our backfield all game long. The play where Gaither got injured he was flat out beaten.

Cleef, we just scored a TD, did you miss it?

[Stealthbirds80]

Thank you Suggs. We needed that.

[PARavensJeff]

This is cool, I have something to do when the commercials are on the Ravens game - The Red Zone channel finally premiered on Comcrap today channel 276. Probably the coolest channel ever.

[Sephy]

Maroney to the 21.

LETS GO BIG D GET THE BALL BACK!

[GaRaven]

Here we go! Big series!!! 3 and out!!! 3 and out!!!!

[Sephy]

Redzone is a pretty badass channel. If I wasn't so afraid to miss something, I'd watch the hell out of it.

[52decleetzu]

This is cool, I have something to do when the commercials are on the Ravens game - The Red Zone channel finally premiered on Comcrap today channel 276. Probably the coolest channel ever.

We can't even get it down here, consider yourself lucky.

[Lee Van Cleef]

I'm glad the D has announced itself. Now they need to get them off the field and let our offense try and go to work.

[Sephy]

1st from the 21, screen to Taylor for 12-13.

[EdReed4Prez]

on a side note... Let's go browns LOL tied up the bungles and just got a fumble recovery

[Sephy]

1st, Aiken finds a seam and gets to the Ravens 40.

[PARavensJeff]

WTF, the Ravens were all running w/ Aiken like they were out for a jog - Wide Open

[darb72]

And now our defense goes back to not being able to stop anybody.

Guys, we know y'all can do it so would you please hurry up and stop the Pats?

[Sephy]

1st, Kruger coming around the outside, complete to Moss to the 20. Soft zone there.

[52decleetzu]

Just hold them to 3.

[PARavensJeff]

We can't even get it down here, consider yourself lucky.

Where are you,it's supposed to be all over the Baltimore area starting today, but you have to subscribe to the Sports & entertainmebt package - $5 a month but well worth it, trust me

[RavenScallywag]

great, even when we bring the house, Moss outplays Foxworth for the TD.

Damn it.

[PARavensJeff]

Who was Foxworth covering, the sideline?

[Sephy]

1st, Taylor for 3.
2nd and 7, Faulk gets about 3 more.
3rd and 3, Reed blitzes, gets in Brady's face, throws it up for Moss who is 1 on 1 with Foxworth, TD.

Bad call there, Mattison. Very bad call.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Blitz didn't get there.

[darb72]

It ain't over til the fat lady sings, but I hear a Squeelers chick warming up her vocal chords.:grbac:
