Ravens @ Patriots: 2nd Half "Open Thread"

PrintAfter a tough first half that showed us some mistakes and a key injury on the offensive line, the Ravens will try to rebound from mistakes and play catch up w/ the Pats. New England's game plan is dead on with screens and draws as well as a blitzzing defense that has taken advantage of the team's mistakes.

Score should be 17-14 at worst
We can still win this game but need to reverse the TO battle.

Its driving me crazy.
Im stuck watching the game with a bunch of football idiots and its times like these that they get to me the most! We lucky Joe hasnt thrown 3 picks right now. How about Ray Rice! Im gonna go eat some happy food and get myself together. Ive got many things to complain about, but Im holding it back until we celebrate our come-from-behind victory first.

If our O' Line holds up well.
Our WR’s are getting good seperation downfield, its not out of reach, its just really tough when youre beating yourself.

Stats at the half
Flacco 14-25 143 yards, 1-TD, 1-INT
Brady 9-14 117 yards
Rice 41 rush yards
Sammy Morris 20 yards

Winning the stats battle, losing the game!

That a-way to stop the run, fatty ( Haloti Ngata )

Gee what a surprise
another 3rd down penalty resulting in a first down! Chris Carr is absolutely worthless to this team.
aka 'Rexx'
Agreed...

Well, it kind of was.
We did get the benefit of all the questionable calls in San Diego. Today we’re on the wrong end of every questionable call.

You know what we need right about now?
A shut-down corner AKA Chris McAllister.
If alcohol didn't exist the Irish would conquer the world.
Zero pass pressure
Brady will pick us apart all day and beat us like a rented mule w/o significant pressure.
aka 'Rexx'
New England hasn't given up a sack this year
because teams are too afraid of getting called for a penalty for touching brady.
We needed that 3rd down stop that the penalty help
and then a score to close the gap. Now this drive is killing us.
aka 'Rexx'
Yeah...
I thought defensive pressure on Brady was 15 yards and a automatic first down.

Bears fan here. Dear Ravens: Please beat the Patriots. Kthxbai!
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
I think Reed has lost a step over the off-season. He has not made 1 crucial play this game yet!

Too many passes
not enough of a run gAME, WHICH WAS DOING FINE. aLSO, fLACCO THROWING OFF HIS BACK FOOT ALMOST EVERY TIMES.

I hate it when I accidently hit the "CAPS" button
and then don’t realize it until too late!

Why are the refs only calling penalties on us?

Run the ball
Plenty of time left. Wear them down and run right at Wilfork and tire his legs out for a 4th quarter run.

Is it me or
does it seem like we’re not stretching the field enough and everything is being thrown short?

We got us a ball game!
Defense comes through on my call for a TO to get us back in the game! With all of our mistakes so far, to be this close now means we can win this thing if we just play smart from here on out!
Still can’t believe I missed the play watching the Bengals-Browns game on RedZone!
aka 'Rexx'
I didn't see that coming!
Nor did I see the SKins coming back on top of the Buccs.
Some good football out there. But need to see the Ravs knock the Pats down a peg.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
Where is the fucking coverage on Moss?!!!

Like I said, we need a Shut-down Corner or Chuck Norris.

Man, can Gostkowski kick!?
He’s on my fantasy team, so I’d like to see more FG’s and less TD’s.

15 minutes to shock the world
need a TD here. I’ll also take a FG and a defensive stop in the next Pat’s offensive series.

A Ravens win and a Pats loss will be even better.
I am flying in to Baltimore in a few hours, and I want happy bartenders when I get there!

brady
Hopefully we’ll start to blitz brady instead of giving him all day and next week to find the open reciever, and i was reading an update from nfl.com and it said ed reed got hurt on a play…, is that true?.I cant watch the game as i live in philadelphia but im watching intently via NFL game center.
Ayanbadejo injured
However, if he’d tackled him way backk when he wrapped him up he wouldn’t have gotten hurt!

Why does it seem like
every time we score, that NE comes right back with a long drive to go back out front again!?

What the hell is that run play they keep using?

Fuck, Watch the challenge give NE a 1st down.....
If alcohol didn't exist the Irish would conquer the world.
If the replay shows it was short of the first down
then we get the ball. If it was a first down, then we accept the penalty and they have to kick the FG, which still keeps us within seven. However, the other challenge that cost us a TO could make this one, if we lse the challenge, have us with only one TO left, which you just know will come back to haunt us.
aka 'Rexx'
I think you have to take that chance this time around
It takes away 3 points and makes it a fg-to-tie instead of a must-have td to win.
Refs don't like to have to think that much

Saw it coming all along
way too slow developing. Horrible again. We deserve to lose this game now.
aka 'Rexx'
lol game over
Joe Flacco's eyebrows have been charged with several penalties this season, most for acting as an "ineligible receiver downfield".
Once again....
the Ravens beat themselves while playing the Patriots. All these penalties….I thought I was watching a Billick led team self destruct.
"The ball always seems to find Ed Reed...The man is a menace"
Flacco actually got in Willis' way
and should have QB sneaked it there. That’s it now. Brady will work the clock and get inside the 40 for a FG to make it too tough for Joe, who will throw one more pick to seal the deal. Their o-line is pushing us off the ball. Harbs called a bad game and Cam didn’t do much better.
aka 'Rexx'
Here it is Joe
You want to be among the league’s elite? Then lead us on a 80 yard game winning drive!
aka 'Rexx'
Just don't score and leave Brady too much time
to drive them down for a FG! THAT would suck!
aka 'Rexx'
We could score with ten seconds left
and they’d probably return the kick-off for a TD.
Fuck Anaheim.
He dropped the ball!
Wow, Clayton just let it hit him in the chest and it fell out.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda!
aka 'Rexx'
gotta feel horrible for Mark, though.
Amazing that after playing so poorly and having so many penalties, we come so close.
aka 'Rexx'
Hell of a game
on both sides. Flacco could not have delivered a better ball. I know the officials sure earned their payoff from Bob Kraft.
