Actually the throw to Daniels could have been picked. Brady has one awful pass other than that he has been good

Great throw by Flacco but if one of those players would of turned their head it was deflected or intercepted. Pretty angry with the turn of events.

The Ravens don't have a good D. They have a good front 7.

Right now, I wonder if early career Brady makes that horrible throw. That was so bad it wasn't funny.

Especially watching Amendola wide open underneath. Don't like watching Brady press, even though the D put us in the early hole they made some stops and we had momentum at that point, plus we were getting the ball at halftime. It was a monumental error

From @ESPNStatsInfo: The Ravens have won their last 3 postseason games when they score a TD in the final minute of the 1st half.

if tom never forces to gronk i doubt flacco scores. it's tom fault that we're down again.

defense is a mess though

I get it. It was an awful pass and I agree, but that does not absolve the defense of its failings. Brady is not on defense getting beat.

Am I tripping or is this the same HT score as last time we played BAL in postseason?

Time for us to prove we are the second half team, but this is a dogfight as I have said all of two weeks.

one and done looks likely now....

What?

Baltimore are up by 7 and they're kicking off to start the 3rd.

Big factor is that Baltimore is running all over us and we haven't run for ****. That normally doesn't fare well in the postseason.

The reasons we are behind right now:


Their defensive line is playing better than our defensive line

Their QB is playing better than our QB

Bottom line. NO PRESSURE.

That's comforting

More press man in the second half and send extra rushers. Make Flacco make quick decisions. Offensively? Figure out how you can get the run game going.

Patricia is an average DC. We need to bring in some coaching assistance.
There's too many green shirts in the coaching staff.
It would also be awesome if we actually had an O-line not full of JAGS.
This team is so reliant on the pass to make a play, it makes it incredibly predictable against good defences.

Brady had a horrible mistake but the guy has also kept us in the game taking hit after hit and getting up right after. The guy is a tough SOB confident he'll come out in great form the defense worries me though

Can the defense stop the run? Why steelers can, we cannot?

Hoping both Smith receivers are too banged up to be effective in 2nd half

@BenVolin: #Patriots fans booing as teams head into the locker room. It's only a 7-point deficit, guys

Our fanbase is pathetic

You can tell that just by the chicken littles in game day threads.

Is this Tom Brady's last game as a Pat if we lose? I'm honestly curious.

Click to expand...

I dont know. Is he the one letting this pathetic Raven offense march all over the field?

Listen Brady made an awful pass. No doubt. The defense should have held them to 3

He's made more than one bad pass in this game.
