CHALLENGE THAT ####!

 

[GoFishTN]

Marking it short. Shocking!

 

[phthalatemagic]

Home cookin spot there. You have to challenge that

 

[treat88]

Time to dial up one of those nine minute drives the Ratbirds used to clinch games with last year. Three and outs aren't gonna cut in the fourth quarter. Tom Brady CAN score twice, no matter how badly he's played to this point.

What's a 'ratbird'?

A Raven

 

[SPM]

these refs are bad

 

[Ghost Rider]

Horrible spot. That is a first down.

 

[Blue-Kun]

Oh that was bull####. FIRST DOWN!

Better get that #### after all the BS calls in this game.

 

[rzrback77]

If they change the spot and the Ravens still are short of a first down, are they charged a time out?

 

[IvanKaramazov]

It's obviously a first down, which means there might be a 25% chance of Balt winning this challenge.

I was gonna say that it's an affectionate nickname bestowed upon the Ravens by our friends in Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Let's see if the refs give this to the Pats.

 

[Donnybrook]

Isn’t Steratore the Ref that doen’t overturn any challeges?

 

[joffer]

what's the rule?

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

LOL WTF?

 

[Matt_The_Fantasy_Master]

Measurement after a challenge?

 

[Britney Spears]

If they change the spot and the Ravens still are short of a first down, are they charged a time out?

Yes.

 

[AB in DC]

what's the rule?

It seems like every ref handles the situation differently.

 

[Blue-Kun]

finally, justice.

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

I love seeing the Pats lose.

 

[phthalatemagic]

wow.. the refs are really trying to give the ball to NE

 

[rzrback77]

3 more rushes coming here

 

[treat88]

/game

 

[CrossEyed]

That seemed very arbitrary.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Refs tried their hardest there, but they just couldn't give NE another favor.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Run that play again. Easy TD.

 

[joffer]

no one ever explains why it should be marked a certain spot. they just guess

 

[Ned]

Refs tried their hardest there, but they just couldn't give NE another favor.

 

[Ghost Rider]

First down despite another horrible spot. The whole ball was inside the 6, yet after seeing the review, they spotted it with it barely touching the 6.

Known as such long before there was a franchise in Baltimore.Happy coincidence though.

 

[rzrback77]

McGahee quick to the hole

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Game over.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

 

[metoo]

It's over. The Pats can't the run.

 

[GoFishTN]

 

[JZilla]

Guess that'll do it

Run it up!!

 

[phthalatemagic]

I have never seen a NT that NEVER required a double team before I watched #99 for the Patriots.

 

[Father Guido Sarducci]

It's over. The Pats can't the run.

They can't the Ravens.

 

[Yenrub]

If they change the spot and the Ravens still are short of a first down, are they charged a time out?

Yes.

Why is that?Challenge the spot of the ball then they change the spot of the ball...the the challenge was correct

 

[Ghost Rider]

I disagree with going for 2 here. A 19-point spread means they could tie it with 1 FG, 2 TDs and 2 two-point conversions. A 20-point lead means they have to score three touchdowns.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Any reason the Ravens don't run the same exact play they did for the TD? McGahee walked in.

 

[rzrback77]

If they change the spot and the Ravens still are short of a first down, are they charged a time out?

Yes.

Why is that?Challenge the spot of the ball then they change the spot of the ball...the the challenge was correct

not the expanation that the ref gave

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Yeah the ball didn't break the plane there.

 

[Donnybrook]

Another terrible spot of the ball.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Looked like he got that. Time for another challenge.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Whats the lowest passing total for a team winning a playoff game? Flacco's 34 yards has to be up there (or down there)

 

[GoFishTN]

Close call? Give it to the Patsies.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Close my ###, he blatantly got that.

 

[phthalatemagic]

Jesus... are the refs now forcing the Ravens to challenge every play now? I wonder what the pregame meeting was like in the refs locker room.

 

[Ghost Rider]

God, these refs are terrible. He broke the plane of the end zone there, quite obviously. Probably won't matter, but yikes.
