The Official Patriots vs Ravens Game Thread

[pwes]

Is something wrong with Ridley? I know games have plans but really Woodhead is not giving me much so I'm wondering why he's not out there when was a starter.

 

[DaBruinz]

Almost makes up for the drive killing trick play he called that clearly gave momentum back to the Ravens.

Brady should have audibled out of it as soon as he saw Upshaw lined up wide, knowing that there would be no one to block Upshaw. That play being blown up is as much on Brady as it is McDaniels.

I hope McDaniels dials up the Annexation of Puerto Rico.

This is a mano a mano slugfest:violent:......whew

What's he say?

Paraphrased: "Ya see Josh, look what happens when you drop the gimmicks, the draws, and let Brady do what he does"

Great mismatch scheme on the TD to Edes. Props to Josh.
Big set of balls by BB and TFB running a play in enemy timekeeper territory with 7 seconds left. The FG would give a limp **** 2 pt lead almost useless so you go for the TD.

I just wish Josh would tube the trick plays for the next 30 minutes as the standard offense is getting the job done.

Seeing the team play like this in hostile conditions gives me serious optimism for the mental and physical toughness of the 2012 squad, regardless of their early record.

Forget Riddley, is something wrong with Dowling?

Seriously... I hope McD learned something on that drive... "hmm I have one of the best passers in league history and a ton of great weapons... maybe I don't need to get cute like I did in Denver and STL"

 

[Pujo]

Gotta be aggressive in a game like this.

There's a fine line between being aggressive and using bad strategy. Only time you're going to see a team go for 2 in the first half is if kicking a PAT would put them up by 5.

I swear some of you guys are bipolar...

Its either "Insert name" sucks when he screws up or "Insert name" is the greatest. If I were to do a statistics study on changing opinions, it'd be ridiculous. Relax guys... Just watch.

Dude, it's a gameday thread. You can't really judge anybody by whatever they spew during a game as intense as this one. Just try not to take these posts as necessarily representative of what the poster really believes. It's mostly hormones talking at this point.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Any chance Edelman was about to throw it on that end around?

No. Gawd no!

 

[coolguy]

i never thought i would see the pats in a slug fest again.

 

[DarrylS]

Good physical game, hopefully it is not decided by crappy officiating..

Rodney speakin straight up truth right there, let Tom be Tom we are not the Bengals

 

[PATSNUTme]

I liked the way this team looks. Some mistakes for sure but they are high effort, sharp, and physical on both sides of the ball.

Sometimes it looks like the Ravens have 18 players on the field if you get my drift.

You know the last person I think that made a tackle on Ridley was.......Pollard

 

[RodThePat]

If I'm McDaniels I start out the second half in the no-huddle. Just throw the football until the Ravens prove they can stop it. Thus far, their defense has been bailed out by the refs and a questionable play call.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Forget Riddley, is something wrong with Dowling?

Dowling reportably has been outdone in practice by Arrington....I think he is struggling badly

You might see Moore before Dowling

 

[juny]

much better intensity and focus from this team vs last week. hopefully they keep this up for the rest of the season.

need to stop them on the first drive.

 

[Rob0729]

As long as the Ravens' pass rush can't sniff Brady, keep throwing the ball with an up tempo offense.
