Welcome to Baltimore
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff
December 3, 07 04:14 PM

BALTIMORE -- Welcome to M&T Bank Stadium, where the Patriots visit the Ravens tonight (8:30 p.m.).

The first thought that comes to mind is wind. While the temperature is currently 40 degrees, and should remain close to that by kickoff, there is considerable wind that makes it feel cooler. That wind, which has the flags atop the stadium rippling with force, figures to play a factor in both the passing game and kicking game tonight.

A few quick items to pass along:

ESPN.com's Mike Sando (http://myespn.go.com/profile/hashmarks?tag=patriots-ravens) is here and he's blogging tonight. Take a look and chances are you will learn something about the Patriots you didn't know.

Walt Anderson gets the call as referee tonight. We'll plan on passing along updates throughout the night.

[SVN]

what a waste mike sando is to look up stats of going for it on 4th and 1. Only ESPN can beat a dead horse for no reason. Cant they understand a basic thing that kicking a FG is more insulting . ???

[A.C Vegas]

and when we do kick it we are piking it on i can see it now "they should have gone for it and give the defense a chance to stop them" they all have agendas just learn to acept it

[Deus Irae]

Something I found interesting on the ESPN blog, particularly given the downer climate on the board this past couple of weeks:

Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando from Baltimore

The Ravens have won games in recent seasons thanks largely to their success in the draft -- but not so much recent drafts. The team's draft record since 2003 has left the Ravens to rely heavily on players drafted more than five years ago, notably Jonathan Ogden, Chris McAlister, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed.

The chart below shows the players Baltimore has made top-100 overall picks since 2003. These players have started 188 of 810 possible regular-season games, or 23.2 percent.....



.....The Patriots had the same number of top-100 choices during this span (14). Teams determine the value of each pick using a point system. The Ravens' top-100 picks since 2003 carried a value nearly identical to the value of the Patriots' top-100 picks during this time.

And yet those players chosen by New England have started 308 of 879 possible regular-season games, or 35 percent. Advantage, Patriots.

Bottom line: The Patriots and Ravens have each chosen 14 players among the top 100 overall picks since 2003. These picks had roughly the same total value on draft day, but the players New England selected have started 120 more games.

[PatsWickedPissah]

So, who's on the inactives tonight? Will Troy Brown play? I say YES!
Windy, short passing game. Troy an asset.

[Deus Irae]

CHFF's points out the Ravens' strength:


Would you believe the Ravens boast the third best run defense of the Super Bowl Era (based upon yards per attempt)?

Believe it.

Baltimore surrenders a mere 2.76 YPA on the ground. Since 1966, only two teams were stingier against the run: the 1998 Chargers (2.70 YPA) and, yes, the mighty 2000 Ravens (2.69 YPA).


http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/11_1894_Gridiron_Grid%3A_New_England_vs._Baltimore .html

So, if that wind gets too fierce for the passing games, this could turn into a pretty brutal slugfest.

[Disco Volante]

*ESPN Monday Night Football ad appears*

Remember that night the Giants were whooping up on the Cowboys, and your wife started making out with her co-worker? You never thought they'd find his body but they did. This Monday night when the Ravens take on the Patriots, be sure to have a better alibi.

[Scouse Patriot]

We get this one too. Having a nice little run of pats games over here as of late. :)

[SVN]

mercury morris and bob griese are going to be in MNF pregame show. ESPN is pulling out all stops.

[Seymour93]

We get this one too. Having a nice little run of pats games over here as of late. :)

Does Channel Five still show SNF and MNF games, or have they all gone to Sky?

[Disco Volante]

The Baltimore Ravens have never beaten the Pats. :cool:

[Scouse Patriot]

Does Channel Five still show SNF and MNF games, or have they all gone to Sky?

Yes bud, they do. Sky show them too but C5 coverage is much better as they dont go to commercials every 5 mins like sky. Instead you get Mike Carlsons humour and, IMO exellent analysis on games.

[Seymour93]

Yes bud, they do. Sky show them too but C5 coverage is much better as they dont go to commercials every 5 mins like sky. Instead you get Mike Carlsons humour and, IMO exellent analysis on games.

Good to hear. I liked those two.

[Snake]

So, who's on the inactives tonight? Will Troy Brown play? I say YES!
Windy, short passing game. Troy an asset.Troy Brown going across in one direction and Wes Welker going across in the other....Stallworth and Moss zooming straight down the sidelines...OH, MY, BOYS!!!!!!

How many think Stallworth will be in a Pats uniform next year?

[SVN]

as per ESPN billick says they are going pound the ball on the pats. he says the pats are good but have not been tested by pounding the ball for 4 quarters and they are getting a bit old and we will see how they do with 4 quarters of pounding
also chris mcallister is playing

[SVN]

check this

http://myespn.go.com/profile/hashmarks?tag=patriots-ravens

We'll be back shortly with more hard evidence relating to the Patriots' alleged attempts at running up the score (previous items here and here). We should also have some information about players named inactive for the game tonight.

i guess this is the task ESPN's editor has given this blog writer to dig up so anyone following the blog can read it more and more and more.. :mad:

[VJCPatriot]

Well McGahee better have a special game up his sleeve then, because this Pats D is built to stop the run. That's why our DL and LBers are so big pound for pound.

I don't see the Ravens controlling the ball all that much.

Just heard Troy Brown is out.

[SVN]

bob griese and mercury morris are on now...

[Scouse Patriot]

Good to hear. I liked those two.

Interesting to read Mike played Lacrosse with BB too.

[FirstAndGoal]

Is there a bigger ass in the world than Mercury Morris? What a piece of garbage.

[Chevy]

bob griese and mercury morris are on now...

Morris is holding on to the glory of yester-year a little too tightly!

Griese seems to have the level-headed view "Welcome to the mountain top - there's plenty of room."

[Brady_to_Moss]

when will jaws quit talking about Moss quitting?

[SVN]

when will jaws quit talking about Moss quitting?

he made it sound like a huge problem. said first 35 passes to randy he caught 31 . next 74 he could 40-50 something...so its RED FLAG. Cant it be that defenses are paying him more attention ? why didnt they come up with this after the buffalo game. ?

[Jr.]

" 60 Minutes, Your Heard Me?!"

[SVN]

its getting very windy very fast as per ESPN crew...iam slowly getting nervous :(

[Kdo5]

Please Randy shut Jaws up.

[Lampshade]

According to Reiss:

A few nuggets from pre-game warmups:

OLB Pierre Woods took his reps with the first string at Rosevelt Colvin's spot. Adalius Thomas and Tedy Bruschi were at ILB

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/

[Disco Volante]

I liked hearing those soundbytes.

[VJCPatriot]

Game time! Let's go Pats!

[Jr.]

Is Ray Ray going to do his grand entrance tonight?

[SmokeShowin]

Is Ray Ray going to do his grand entrance tonight?

Of course he will.

[SVN]

i like my team a lot but ESPN just goes overboard like crazy over covering us..anyone not a pats fan will begin to build a dislike. i just hate all the pre game hype like they did before the eagles game and then it turns out to be a nail biter.

[SmokeShowin]

Let's go! Let's go!!! I am so pshyched for this! :rocker: :rocker: :rocker:

[Disco Volante]

:confused: @ the music in Baltimore

In the background of the on-field updates, I've heard Soulja Boy, a marching band, and now "God Bless the USA".

[Freakshow]

Who is that? Sammy Davis Jr.?

[MoLewisrocks]

its getting very windy very fast as per ESPN crew...iam slowly getting nervous :(

You're always nervous. If you weren't nervous the rest of us would have reason to be...

[hambone1818]

Seriously, get this damn game started! I hate this pregame crap, I purposefully waited until 8 to cook dinner, knowing that it'd be a sick, hypocritical lovefest from ESPN. Now I'm done cooking, I'm done eating and I just want this DAMN GAME TO START!

[Jr.]

Of course he will.

He didn't.:mad:

[363839]

Jaws and them fckn glasses:p

[SVN]

belichick and spygate again :mad:

[Freakshow]

Kornheiser kicking' the Homer Simpson hairdo.

[DefenseRules]

Jeez, these guys on MNF are a bunch of bozos :rolleyes:

[Sean Pa Patriot]

I know what the next knock on the Patriots is going to be, I could see it now.. I notice Brady is not wearing the 21 logo on the helmet, I know people are going to go off on that now..

[Jr.]

did Korneheiser just called Brady Cute?:rofl::rofl:

[hambone1818]

OH...MY....GOD...Someone, please, end Kornheiser. For real. My head hurts, and the damn game STILL HAS YET TO START!

[Arrrr]

I believe it's purposeful hyperbole. At least i hope so.

[Freakshow]

I know what the next knock on the Patriots is going to be, I could see it now.. I notice Brady is not wearing the 21 logo on the helmet, I know people are going to go off on that now..

The entire league's wearing it...

[Arrrr]

I know what the next knock on the Patriots is going to be, I could see it now.. I notice Brady is not wearing the 21 logo on the helmet, I know people are going to go off on that now.. What are you talking about? He's wearing it right in front of his jersey in huge numbering. He just put it on backwards.

[wistahpatsfan]

I hate Korhole. What a lame re-hash of media fluff.
I can't believe he gets paid for what he does...what does he do, anyway?

[Wildo7]

maybe inappropriate but I find Ray Lewis to be insincere and a total drama queen

[DefenseRules]

I hate Korhole. What a lame re-hash of media fluff.

No doubt. What a blowhard. :rolleyes:

[Xzibit23]

Ray Lewis getting emotional there

[primetime]

maybe inappropriate but I find Ray Lewis to be insincere and a total drama queen

Could it have something to do with the ironic fact that Ray is crying over a random act of violence that resulted in someone's death?

[Brady to Brown]

maybe inappropriate but I find Ray Lewis to be insincere and a total drama queen

Its never inappropriate when its true.

[Remix 6]

maybe inappropriate but I find Ray Lewis to be insincere and a total drama queen

i think it shows a good side of Ray. Hes in small tears for his friend..both from Miami. u never wanna see that happen. Ray cant cry when hes closer to him but we can?

[Sean Pa Patriot]

The entire league's wearing it...


in warm ups I noticed only the 91 logo... Just saying, people will do anything to knock us , this is going be one of them ..

[Remix 6]

in warm ups I noticed only the 91 logo... Just saying, people will do anything to knock us , this is going be one of them ..

i saw Moss wearing 21 and 91

[Sean Pa Patriot]

scratch that its on now, but was not on in warm ups... sorry

[Arrrr]

i think it shows a good side of Ray. Hes in small tears for his friend..both from Miami. u never wanna see that happen. Ray cant cry when hes closer to him but we can? i think it's the whole MURDERING someone is why they doubt his sincerity.

[primetime]

i think it shows a good side of Ray. Hes in small tears for his friend..both from Miami. u never wanna see that happen. Ray cant cry when hes closer to him but we can?

Think about the irony of Ray Lewis crying over a murder and retry your post.

[VJCPatriot]

Hey, Maroney was actual in the formation on the opening play. Good sign?
Back to the empty backfield. 1st down Welker.
It's too early to tell.

Woo first Maroney sighting. 2 yard dive.

[BradyisGod]

Whats up with punching Welker in trhe head after the catch?

[Jr.]

he has on the sticker now!

[Remix 6]

good blitz pickup by Laurence. nearly sent him airborne

[BRADY2MOSSS]

damm marony

[Skree]

Was that a run? It's been so long.....

[MrBigglesWorth]

Hey, Maroney was actual in the formation on the opening play. Good sign?
Back to the empty backfield. 1st down Welker.
It's too early to tell.

I hope Lomo can get it going to boost his confidence

[Remix 6]

damm marony

its the defense..same team that shut Lt, Parker and others down

i dont expect running today.

[VJCPatriot]

Woo big pass play to Stallworth and tack on a facemask!

[DefenseRules]

That defense is all pumped up. :D

[hambone1818]

good blitz pickup by Laurence. nearly sent him airborne

And then he tip-toes to the line for no gain. He really needs to start getting mad before games, do the 'Waterboy' thing or something.

[Remix 6]

damn facemask. woulda be 6

[Skree]

That defense is all pumped up. :D

All 12 of them!

[Remix 6]

so when Baltimore said they'll bring 6 and 7..was that with or without 12 men on the field?

[Arrrr]

haha, ravens suck so much. pats win 63-0

[Arrrr]

hahaha offsides!! That's the way you beat the patriots boys.

[pwes]

Their defense is undisiplined. 4 minutes in and 3 penalties.

[BRADY2MOSSS]

damm they're trying to kill my boy

[hambone1818]

3 straight? Well if they're gonna cheat on every play they HAVE to know they're gonna get caught, right?:D

[Arrrr]

Woah 1st and 1? I've never seen that before.

[MrBigglesWorth]

maroney just can't get it going. baltimore is tough tho

[hambone1818]

Great defense there...can't say I'm happy about it, but he did a hell of a job

[PrairiePat]

Nice D there by Lewis.

[Remix 6]

i wish our D can play with this type of energy..minus penalties

[MrBigglesWorth]

BB should make a statement that they are gonna run it

[hambone1818]

And all of a sudden it's 3rd down...come on boys, 3 WILL NOT do here!

[BRADY2MOSSS]

i want that 40th touchdown

[DefenseRules]

Come on guys get that TD.

[PlattsFan]

The Ravens are such a bunch of glory hounds. They celebrate freaking *everything*

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Need to shut that phoney Lewis up...

[fozziewazzi]

They should go for it on 4th if they don't :)

[DefenseRules]

The Ravens are such a bunch of glory hounds. They celebrate freaking *everything*

They better save some of that energy for later.

[BbRrUeSwCsHkIe]

I can't believe Jaws said Brady is mobile like no other QB.

[PaulNEPats]

Horrible Watson

[VJCPatriot]

omg watson dropped the td!!

[Mix]

OMG Watson...how do you drop that!

[pwes]

Come on Watson. You got to catch those.

[Jr.]

http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225937

Brady's refusal to wear #21 sticker

[Remix 6]

damnit Watson. no drops all year..get 1 ripped away then roll out of it

[Solaris]

Gimmie a freakin break Watson! Dammit!

[Disco Volante]

Two drops for Watson! :mad:

[PatsSteve1]

Watson what's up with that?

[PatsWickedPissah]

Watson back in '06 form!

[DefenseRules]

DAMN...WATSON you've got to catch that. :(

[Sean Pa Patriot]

That was moral boost for the Ravens..

[BRADY2MOSSS]

damm watson

[ALP]

i say the 3rd down is a pass

[Michael]

Welker was wide open. Brady never looked left.

[Remix 6]

great protection..but great pass defense as well.

[VJCPatriot]

Did I just imagine that or did Watson drop TWO possible TD catches in the same drive?

[SVN]

easy chance missed ..3 times from the 1 yard line.

[Jr.]

http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225937

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Should had 7 there, Watson cant drop those.. Great play by Brady to buy time

[Patriot_in_NY]

That was terrible Watson

[SmokeShowin]

The O-line is giving him all the time he needs, just not going our way - yet.

[danny88]

Nice Ben... Nice :rolleyes:

[ALP]

did u see brady get speared that time, on the 3rd down?

wut was up with that?

[Skree]

Watson dropped number 40!! jerk!!

[Disco Volante]

A shame, we'd have 7 on that drive if not for the facemask.

[BRADY2MOSSS]

do you really think comcast is faster. lol

[Freakshow]

I know what the next knock on the Patriots is going to be, I could see it now.. I notice Brady is not wearing the 21 logo on the helmet, I know people are going to go off on that now..

Coates would've had that... He would've had the 1st one too...

[DefenseRules]

The Patriots Defense has to come out and establish their AUTHORITY tonight. Don't play around with these guys. :mad:

[MrBigglesWorth]

are we gonna get to see pierre?

[Terry Glenn is a cowgirl]

Watson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

[fair catch fryar]

It's elementary my dear Watson, elementary!! Hang on to the EFFIN' ball!

[PlattsFan]

Nice edge from Kelley Washington there

[PittPatriot]

The Patriots Defense has to come out and establish their AUTHORITY tonight. Don't play around with these guys. :mad:



Watson's Wunderlick means squat. Even an idiot knows to stop catching the ball with your body...time and time again he does this.

[SVN]

our D needs a good start today...

[Freakshow]

Tirico: "the defense kept Brady away from his 40th" :confused:

[jct]

I hate that we didn't get a TD there.
But I serious doubt the Baltimore offense has much at all to show us tonight.

[Fanfrom1960]

Watson back in '06 form!
I watched Hines Ward make great catches all last night in the rain and now Watson.

[BoTown]

Have to say, Kelley Washington is awesome as a gunner.

[DefenseRules]

Jeez, our defense is off to an ugly start. :(

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Focus on Mchahee and let Kyle I should have been a Bowler beat us..

[Remix 6]

cmon D. energy? hustle? please

[danny88]

Hey look the D is letting the rb run all over the place, again.

[Disco Volante]

Two runs in and I'm already sick of Willis.

[MrBigglesWorth]

kornholio... 5 minutes into the game...moron

"this is the night"

[Sean Pa Patriot]

the d is a little concerning, but not much..

[PatsSteve1]

9 minutes to go in the 1st Q and Cornhole is saying some may be thinking this is the game?
Why is he there.

[Freakshow]

Don't worry - it's all adrenalin. They'll blow their load after this drive.

[DefenseRules]

Hey look the D is letting the rb run all over the place, again.

They have been sleep walking for two weeks. :mad:

[SVN]

come on D ..can we get off on 3rd down ?

[Skree]

kornholio... 5 minutes into the game...moron

"this is the night"

What a tool he is!

Good stop "D"!!

W00t!

[MrBigglesWorth]

wilfork is hilarious

[pwes]

Thats how you do it D.

[Remix 6]

Wilfork is dominating the line..twice hes blown by

i love how Harrison just pushes people back down after play lol

love his attitude.

[PrairiePat]

Take -that- Hobbs detractors :)

[hambone1818]

Looked like there could have been a flag there

[DefenseRules]

Kornheiser is a moron.

[danny88]

Great play by Sey!!!!

[PlattsFan]

I'm calling it now: this game's gonna be a blowout.

[PatsSteve1]

The Ravens O is so bad the game may be out of reach already -:)

[MrBigglesWorth]

what is up with the led zeppelin? good music choice, but any significance?

[Solaris]

LOL...first posession and you guys are already at it? :p

[hambone1818]

I'm calling it now: this game's gonna be a blowout.


Agreed...Their offense doesn't put an ounce of fear in me, and once that defense wastes all their energy on ridiculous 1st quarter celebrations they'll be dead in the 2nd half.

[SVN]

we miss morris in the goal line running situations ..both maroney and evans arent as good as he was.

[Terry Glenn is a cowgirl]

Don't worry - it's all adrenalin. They'll blow their load after this drive.

the ol' early bird huh????:D :cool:

[Disco Volante]

Do you all want to see Watson redeem himself in the endzone, or avoid him for tonight?

[Freakshow]

what is up with the led zeppelin? good music choice, but any significance?

Basically a commercial for their new greatest hits album. I think they're a sponsor.

[DefenseRules]

LOL...first posession and you guys are already at it? :p

It's the Kornhole, he's got us all on edge. :bricks:

[Pats Fanatic]

what is up with the led zeppelin? good music choice, but any significance?

Promoting the their new greatest hit album.

[stcjones]

Watson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...


I can't believe he missed that......should have gone up more aggressively after that one against lewis too......Cmon BEN!!!!!

[SVN]

dangerous pass...

[Remix 6]

they got Scott on Welker man it seems :\

[Skree]

Do you all want to see Watson redeem himself in the endzone, or avoid him for tonight?

I'd avoid him in the end zone until he redeemed himself between the 20's

[PaulNEPats]

Jesus Maroney, push forward

[Freakshow]

got his dancing shoes on tonite...

[Terry Glenn is a cowgirl]

I truly miss Sammy Morris. He IS better than Maroney...

[DefenseRules]

Damn if Maroney would have just ran that straight he could have made more yards.

[Disco Volante]

Horrible drive.

Looking good Maroney!

[Sean Pa Patriot]

that is 2 underthrows, blame the wind ,but ugh...

[Remix 6]

^so is Moss? Brady? yea...

[BradyisGod]

that wind is nuts.

[Skree]

Damn if Maroney would have just ran that straight he could have made more yards.

True, he's too busy practicing the foxtrot back there

[Solaris]

Damn that wind is killer tonight.

[DefenseRules]

That was actually a decent punt. Considering the field position. :eek:

[Michael]

I hate this game already.

[PatsSteve1]

Not a bad punt into the wind

[Sean Pa Patriot]

wow that helped...

[Solaris]

Horrible drive.

Looking good Maroney!

LOL...the wind knocked down two passes

[Remix 6]

Reiss said Meriweather was in on last series when we went nickel or dime..hes moving up.

Warren-Wilfork-Bruschi OUT

Gay-Meriweather-Seau IN

[DefenseRules]

True, he's too busy practicing the foxtrot back there

He needs to take the ball and go straight ahead.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Im goin out on a limb, no 40 burgers tonight...

[Terry Glenn is a cowgirl]

That was actually a decent punt. Considering the field position. :eek:

I hope we don't see him on the field alot... for obvious reasons.

[SVN]

cant let a team with a good defense hang around..the TD drops are killers in this weather.

[PatsWickedPissah]

So much for all those here ignoring the heavy wind as a factor. Tough start for the O.

[Disco Volante]

I’d be somewhat worried if not for the abysmal Ravens offense.

Though Willis could be a threat.

[Terry Glenn is a cowgirl]

He needs to take the ball and go straight ahead.

This isn't his MO though... unfortunately.

[stcjones]

I truly miss Sammy Morris. He IS better than Maroney...


I don't know if he is better.....guess we will have to wait until after both of their careers are done....However, I do miss Sammy BIG TIME at this point because he was getting the running done....and for whatever reason.....Maroney is not.....He is still goose stepping at the hole and not hitting it fast enough,.....but lets face it....this is a tough D.....especially against the run......right now....their D is stepping up.....

They most likely do not have the O to beat us though......GO PATS

[DefenseRules]

cant let a team with a good defense hang around..the TD drops are killers in this weather.

When we have the wind at our backs maybe it will get better.

[PaulNEPats]

On a good note, Seymour's looking real good so far

[VJCPatriot]

Seymour the "Maneater", "Hollywood" Hobbs LOL those introductions were hilarious.

[SVN]

come D ..3rd down...

[pheenix11]

I wanna see someone knock Ray Lewis flat on his ass.

[PaulNEPats]

Asante got burned

[pwes]

Well that sucks.

[Remix 6]

this is pathetic. our D breaks down after some miracle escapes.

[DefenseRules]

That was TERRIBLE. COME ON DEFENSE PLAY BETTER THAN THAT. :mad:

[Sean Pa Patriot]

your kidding me right...

[MrBigglesWorth]

there's your merriwether

[Solaris]

Ouch Zant...totally missed that one. Nice miss tackle by the rookie...why's he moving up again?

[Disco Volante]

That was absolutely disgusting.

No excuses, horrible. Kyle Boller? Seriously.

[BradyisGod]

The minute that play started I knew it was bad news.

[Mix]

Meriweather gets on the field and misses a big tackle

[Terry Glenn is a cowgirl]

Wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Remix 6]

Asante got burned

he went for pick and missed ...thats not a "burn"

[Skree]

What a great busted play for the Ravens!

Whatever....


They have to take a time out to recover from the success!

[danny88]

why do we constantly miss the qb when he should be sacked. I mean good effort by the d , but they have been whiffing A LOT

[PrairiePat]

AD whiffed on the sack, Asante whiffed on the pass, Meriweather whiffed on the tackle. Nice.

[SoxFanNH]

O well they got lucky on that one...

[Sean Pa Patriot]

this is a bad vibe im getting, shula jinxing us...

[DefenseRules]

It figures that we would give up their biggest play of the season. Thank God Sanders was back there. :mad:

[VJCPatriot]

Notice who missed that tackle on the 50 yard completion?? Brandon Meriweather!! Maybe the "hitstick" should take some lessons on WRAPPING up. It's the basics that kill you, or lack thereof in this case.

[National Sports Advisors]

Now I know why the Hit Stick was playing behind Baker and Jackson last week. Good lord! Learn to tackle son!!:mad:

[PatsWickedPissah]

Please, criticizing Merriweather will get you labeled as a troll.
Clear why he hasn't had much PT this season.

[SVN]

this is what happens..miss chance in the RZ and they hit a fluke play and they are in our RZ...and our RZ defense hasnt been stellar all yr :mad:

[Slagathor]

I just puked in my mouth. Has Eugene Wilson been teaching Meriweather to tackle?

[unoriginal]

he went for pick and missed ...thats not a "burn"
It is a burn. Samuel completely lost coverage on Darling when Darling cut in and then out. I could care less about him coming in underneath Darling, he had safety help. But he was no where near Darling when the ball was thrown.

[Patriot_in_NY]

Defense needs to do something.

[DaBruinz]

1) Maroney running it straight ahead isn't going to do ANYTHING.
2) Its hard for Maroney to run anywhere when there are 2 Ravens in the backfield as he's gettng the handoff..
3) GREAT Job by Asante there.
4) Meriweather gets stiff armed away easily.. *sigh*

[shmessy]

Meriweather gets on the field and misses a big tackle


Should we ignore how bad Asante looked on it too?

[BradyisGod]

Dudes...Merriwether slipped. THat is all.

[primetime]

Done defending Meriweather. Pathetic.

[Disco Volante]

I’m not going to just non-chalantly excuse plays like that tonight.

I did that last week, and ended up with sweating palms in the fourth quarter. I’m not comfortable until we have a two score lead.

[danny88]

O well they got lucky on that one...

Same thing happened over and over last week

[SVN]

how can the let mcgahee run the ball....!##@#!#!E@#:mad:

[National Sports Advisors]

Notice how McGahee just made something out of nothing? Hopefully LoMo was watching.:mad:

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Red Zone D is making me red in the face again..

[danny88]

Why should we excuse that crap. happens over and over

[DefenseRules]

I wish our running back could run like that or maybe it's our run defense. :confused:

[Remix 6]

i love how everyone is screaming @ Meriweather.

Samuel missed the big
Meriweather didnt have a great angle and had to swipe @ legs
Thomas missed the sack
and lucky for Sanders not having to verse a quick guy..gets stiff armed instead of juked out for 6.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Given this team momentum ....

[stcjones]

this is a bad vibe im getting, shula jinxing us...

That old wrinkled curmudgeon is too busy crapping in his diaper right now.....he knows we are going to get hot soon...

[DefenseRules]

Red Zone D is making me red in the face again..


No doubt. :(
This is sad to watch. :(

[SVN]

they will score now...

[Slagathor]

Nice to see a lively crowd....

[MrBigglesWorth]

Done defending Meriweather. Pathetic.

may i remind you sanders made his mistakes and is now a fulltime starter

[BradyisGod]

What a spot. Jesus.

[stcjones]

I wish our running back could run like that or maybe it's our run defense. :confused:

Unfortuneatly I think it is our run defense......been very shaky as of lately.......GO PATS

[Disco Volante]

Big 3rd down.

Kyle Boller is on the other side. Come on...

[SVN]

billick will go for 4 downs anyway

[DaBruinz]

AD whiffed on the sack, Asante whiffed on the pass, Meriweather whiffed on the tackle. Nice.

When you actually watch the game, let us know..

Boller made a great play to get away from AD.
Meriweather was stiff armed down by a good play by Darling.

Give credit where credit is due.

Or you better start b!tching about Vrabel over-running plays as well.

[danny88]

Awesome :rolleyes:

[Wildo7]

terrible :mad:

[Remix 6]

may i remind you sanders made his mistakes and is now a fulltime starter

also Samuel missed the pick..after Thomas missed the sack. 2 mistakes leads to 3.

[PaulNEPats]

This is unbelievable. What is going on with the Defense?


And STFU Kornhole

[Stop Being A Jerk]

If this D could tackle at all we'd really be something.

Aaaaaaaand touchdown.

[Sean Pa Patriot]

Shut up Kornheiser....
