Yeo, you are right.

Instead it works out to 21.6% of all offensive yards came from penalties.

It's funny reading these arguments on here after a loss or even a win. And it's always the same people on every thread that just love B1tching with eachother.

A couple of times when the D came up with big plays and a stop, the drive got extended by phantom calls by the foot locker refs.
Deus is absolutely right, the timing of the bad calls made all the difference in the world between a comfortable win and a one point loss.

Your disagreement is noted.

Your pass defense can't continue to keep receivers blanketed when the QB has 5 seconds or more to throw,unless they try to get away with a PI

Jones has a long way to go to become what we hope he will be. .....Oher played a fine game.

Sorry man. The Ravens O-line was holding Jones, Wilfork and Ninkovich all game long. You can't blame the D-line for getting held and the Refs not calling it. And before you say "well that happens every play", No, it doesn't. It doesn't happen every play that the D-line are having to pull their shirts down from under their armpits because the O-line was holding them..

During the last series, the Pats almost collapsed the pocket on every play. The problem is that Flacco was just a spilt second quicker. Also, the Pats HAD a legitimate sack. But it was nullified by a BS penalty on Spikes.

It is better than going on for 100 posts without either of us showing a shread of evidence supporting our opinions. Maybe someone with access to the all 22s an some good video editing software will post images that will prove one of right.

Has anyone got a video of this play that they can post here for me, and others, to look at closely?

Ravens 3rd and 9 at the Pats 34. 52 seconds left in the 4th quarter.

Flacco pass, deep left intended for J Jones INCOMPLETE. (Penalty on McCourty, Pass Interference. 27 yards , ball spotted at the NE 7 yard line, 1st and goal for Baltimore)


Does anyone have a video of that play????

I would really like to see this play to look at in slow and stop motion.

Of all the horrible calls in the game, this one, and the time of the game that it was called really infuriated me. Maybe it was, and maybe it wasn't PI. (I am not sure, but in either case it certainly was no where near flagrant enough to call it at that time of the game and the score what it was.) It smells to high heaven.

I seriously doubt that if the same play occured 100 times, that on at least 95 of them it would never have been called, maybe 99.

Teams win or lose games based on how they play but in this instance, I can honestly say that it was taken from the Pats by the on field officials.

Just got home from M&T. I was sitting right behind the goalposts where the winning FG was kicked. the kick was about a yard wide. All the Ravens fans in my section looked at each other and said "Did we win?".

A few other observations (excuse my lack of football knowledge):

Our guys up front didn't generate much of a pass rush, as Flacco was able to get enough time to make enough plays. We seemed a bit vanilla, and I thought we would force more mistakes by blitzing, but we didn't appear to do that.

I'm not sure why we sent Woodhead up the middle so often, it was usually a waste of a down. If we could get him in space, he would be more elusive and effective. I see Flacco uses Ray Rice as a safety valve receiver five yards upfield, and Woodhead would fill that role well, it would seem to me.

Ed Reed had kill shots lined up on Edelman and Branch's heads. I'm glad both guys bounced back up.

The crowd was unbelievably loud, it definitely put a stress on TB's audibles at the LOS. I thought our much maligned offensive line did a good job protecting #12.

The game moves too fast for these replacement refs. Get rid of da bums!

We miss Hernandez. Gronk was getting manhandled every time he moved past the LOS. I hope Winslow can learn some more plays in the interim, as he has obvious athletic talent.

on offense they are not very good at run blocking and they are to Predictable unless they go no huddle back yard football go get open and Brady will find the open man... and thats ok they did score 30 points tonight but when you need to run out the clock you cant go no huddle and you end up with 3 and outs,


on Defense well what can i say you cant just add a few rookies and go from the 2th worst pass defense in NFL history to top 5 over night, there is not a nuff dept and talent on the D line they ran out of gas...bottom line the defense is better then last year #32 is back smith only had 2 rec for 21 yards in the 2th half after McCourty started to cover him but the defense needs more time and talent up front
