This is one of the two most interesting games on the schedule this week, only in this one the teams are actually good.

From what I've been reading in the Boston Globe, the Patriots are taking this one very seriously after their loss at home in the playoffs last year. And with two weeks for Belichick to get ready, the Ravens will be facing an uphill battle in this one, Moss or no.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Good luck today, Patsies. I know a lot of the national media is on the Ravens but I don't have a good feeling about this one. 23-17 NE

 

[Adebisi]

Our defense is not very good.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Man, great 3rd down pickup from Flacco to Heap. I swear Oher jumps early every play.

 

[TitanicHornet]

8.32 min drive ends in a FG for Ravens. 3-0

 

[roadkill1292]

Don't want to diminish what a nice drive that was to get things started but they really needed 6 there. Threes won't get it done against Brady.

 

[roadkill1292]

3 and out for the Pats, keeping the crowd out of it.

I hear ya, GB, but I like the play calling.

boy that was a pretty drive

 

[roadkill1292]

Boy, that was a good drive and a very sweet reverse to Tate. That thing happened fast.

 

[Balco]

Nice drive by Pats. Started with a 31 yard grab by Aaron Hernandez, then a nice Brandon Tate reverse, and then a Green-Ellis rushing td.

Pats got a steal in Hernandez.

 

[SKI]

That should get reversed. Mason clearly had possession

 

[roadkill1292]

Flacco drills a scoring pass to Heap. This has the makings of a pretty good game.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Looks like it's gonna be a good one

[Adebisi]

Thank god that call was overturned. I really thought he had fumbled.

 

[JZilla]

Meriweather's a piece of ####. Must hate Mormons.

 

[Bottomfeeder Sports]

Playing "Welcome to the Jungle" to fire up the crowd after such a blatant cheap shot?

 

[Balco]

Man, Rice is shifty.

 

[Adebisi]

Playing "Welcome to the Jungle" to fire up the crowd after such a blatant cheap shot?

What's the problem?

Seems like they play that between every snap. They should pick up some new tapes.

 

[Workhorse]

Merriweather is going to ride the pine the rest of the game, I'd bet. Between the cheap shots and his constant free-lancing, he's impossible to coach.

They play that song so much I didn't even notice. I'm sure the two weren't connected. I hope that was just a dumb play and not a cheap shot on Heap because I really like Todd Heap. They just said Heap had a stinger and he will return.

 

[SKI]

No problem. Just demonstrating a lack of class.

My daughter got pissed and left the room. She met Heap at her school last year. Still smitten.

He's the kid who stomped on the player at Florida a few years back. I wasn't thrilled when they drafted him. He's a talented player but not one I like rooting for.

I've typed out five different jokes but I can't think of one that won't get me banned.

From here or LABS?

 

[roadkill1292]

Time to cure some of these offensive mistakes and put another score on the board before the half. Pats are getting pretty decent pressure on Unibrow.

Okay. Are you sure you're not looking for things to get upset about? Aside from that song having been played out 20 years ago, of course.

 

[AngryPatriot]

Pats play calling is CRAP, no creativity on 3rd down. Whoever is calling plays should be fired now. How they can be so stupid from one drive to the next is ridiculous.

 

[Workhorse]

Flacco was clearly down there short of the first down.

He's got a lot of talent and is a decent player who should get better with time, but he's overrated.

 

[JZilla]

Playing some Nirvana now, for the kids

 

[Adebisi]

More "Welcome to the Jungle." Heap hasn't even returned to the game yet. Seems classless.

 

[Workhorse]

Danny Woodhead is fun to watch.

 

[Balco]

Danny Woodhead is fun to watch.

An asset as a receiver, but not sure why they insist on running him other than draws. Also, this offense, like the announcers said, does remind me of their super bowl dink and dunk offense. I hated watching it as a fan, but it was effective.

 

[Balco]

Man, every time I see Ngata, it reminds me of what a horrible decision the Packers made by taking AJ Hawk over him. Ugh.

 

[SKI]

Speaking of horrible play calling...

Ugh.

 

[roadkill1292]

Man, every time I see Ngata, it reminds me of what a horrible decision the Packers made by taking AJ Hawk over him. Ugh.

There were questions about his intensity level in college but he's been nothing short of a monster here in baltimore. He might be their best defensive player right now.Pats defense has also stepped up nicely. Ratbirds haven't moved the ball in the last 3-4 possessions.

 

[Workhorse]

Terrible clock management by Belichick there. All 3 timeouts and you let the clock tick down to under 40 seconds, THEN you call one?

Bad.

 

[JZilla]

Meh, prudent enough call, his timeout forced the Ravens to punt rather than go for it... they could have gotten into FG range.

 

[hagar02]

Any idea why Green-Ellis isn't getting the carries?

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

That was awful. Merriweather not only committed PI, but got burned as well.

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

Any idea why Green-Ellis isn't getting the carries?

Woodhead looks OK. I think BB just wants to try the Whiteboy package for a while.

 

[SKI]

I think Merriwether just got away with another helmet-to-helmet with that shot on Mason.

 

[Workhorse]

That wasn't even close to PI by Merriweather. And CBS didn't show illegal contact at any point in that play.

 

[roadkill1292]

if the ratbirds get a td here it could be a backbreaker. these long drives keep the ball out of brady's hands.
