    A nice serving of pitta and rice will win this

    Ok, that was awful :o

    Its just so disappointing that the offense finally does its job and then the defense disappears. They had done so well up to then but that looked scarily like the regular season D right there.

    Flacco: 8 for 10 129 yards 1 TD 152.1 rating
    Brady: 9 for 16 86 yards 1 INT 45.3 rating :pac:

    Ray Lewis on Welker is a mismatch

    Don't like it at all

    Pats still moving the chains with ease though, the ravens wont be able to keep up

    Come on D!

    Well there you go

    Put pressure on Brady or he'll slice you up

    It always amazes me when teams sit back on him and let him cut them apart piece by piece, he loves that. Any time he loses its because of consistent pressure and disruption of his rhythm. Play zone and let him take short passes, he'll just get into gear and destroy you

    Important we don't give up any points before halftime now. We get the ball to start the second half and the chance to take a two score lead if we stop them here.

    They have already establshed the run and if you go after Brady you are leaving somebody open and taking a big chance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,299 ✭✭✭spiralism


    Punt here, Pats score, score again after half and we'll be done if i had to guess


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Well done Oher :rolleyes:

    better to gamble though, he'll beat you for sure the other way. Sign of how great brady is that it takes a very risky strategy to have a prayer against him

    Rob Ninkovich is going to get a nice contract for himself with how he has done in the playoffs

    Realy stepped up

    Just saying, I don't know his contract situation now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Come on Dickson you need to catch that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,299 ✭✭✭spiralism


    Taking a knee, jaysus thats surprising. TD, start of 2nd half and TD would end the game after all

    Wow, very conservative. Ravens must've been happy to see that.

    meh I'm fine with it.

    Ravens could've forced a punt as well? Wonder why they didn't. Maybe going safe the same as the pats.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    That's two 3rd and 8's and a 3rd and 10 that we've allowed the Patriots to complete so far in the game :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,098 ✭✭✭Johnny_Fontane


    Law firm doing some job tonight...

    Ravens are still with this though.....if they are within a score with 5 minutes left, they have a chance....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 649 ✭✭✭DBIreland


    Green-Ellis has NEVER had a fumble in the NFL, amazing stat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Pollard, probably the hardest hitter on the team is missing tackles and getting embarrassed out there

    Has made some good tackles but the missed tackles were costly


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,052 ✭✭✭poldebruin


    just caught up with the live game on Sky plus, so safe to come onto the forum! The difference in the game so far IMO is that the Patriots have been so successful running the ball, that has surprised me, I thought it would be tough sledding against the Ravens front 7.

    The Ravens have done a reasonable job against Brady and the two TEs

    Long drive from the pats but only get 3 in the end. Lets see if the Ravens wideouts can get open deep again :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,546 ✭✭✭Masked Man


    Somebody must've kidnapped Belichick and just put some guy in a grey hoodie on the sidelines.

    I mean I'm ok with going for a field goal but just ughhh.
