The Official Patriots vs Ravens AFC Championship Game thread

if pats (bb) have a repetitive issue it seems to be time mgmt like this at the end of halfs in championship games. Otherwise he is such a legend - these type errors seem so out of place. (more on brady than him; but bb could have called that TO 5-8 sec earlier.

OK, I may be getting ahead of myself but I got the distinct impression that the Ravens D looked tired toward the end of the half. If the Patriots D can hold, hopefully that time on ground through the first two matches for Baltimore becomes telling.

Let's hope the defense can get another 3 n out to turnover at the start of the half. Can't allow ravens any points to start the half.

The pats will come out with guns blazing in the seconds half. if the D hold up t will be a 10+ pt victory

half way there.

The bad news about this half is that the Pats have been in the red zone 3 times with only 1 TD. The Ravens have gotten in there only once, but have a TD.

This is all about the red zone efficiency. The Pats made 2 critical mistakes on that drive. Hernandez didn't go out of bound on his catch. He gained an extra 2 yds but we lost the TD. And the obvious one, Brady not take the TO, we lost 2 shots at the endzone.

But why no timeout their? Is someone asleep at the wheel? WTF is BB doing in that case... This could be a critical turning point in the game.

18:12 TOP. Hopefully it pays off. Defense needs to step up now and not give up a play now

[Banjo]

Ravens fans are mad, thinking Brady kicked Ed Reed with his slide on purpose. Brady can't run! He was scared for his life!! lol

Almost 2 to 1 TOP, that's somewhat reassuring.
