One other thing -- I thought the Pats' fans showed a lot of class with their respectful applause for both the Ravens' injured players. Just a great game, and I wish the Ravens wouldn't have marred the on-field competition with all the post-game whining.

Yuck. This game was the most Billick-esque performance we've seen since Harbaugh arrived. Personal fouls, coaches as out of control as players, post-game fingerpointing at the refs, shaky clock management, etc. But I have confidence the Ravens will rebound. I said this would be a measuring...

This is more of a measuring stick than a revenge game. In 2007, the season was long since broken before the Pats beat the Ravens. Baltimore was 4-7, on a 5-game losing streak, and were 19-point underdogs. Their performance that night was a demonstration of just how much that team was...

Flacco has passed 42 times on first down so far this year, 31 times on second, and 31 on third. Last week, he threw 18 times on first down, but only 8 times on third down. Flacco throws an unbelievable ball on the horizontal routes - it's out of his hand on-time and it arrives in a big hurry...

I have to tell you that your depiction of Baltimore's offense this year isn't very accurate. They've actually passed a little more than they've run (104 to 101). Last week they had drives of 16 plays (82 yards, including 9 passes), 12 plays (68 yards, 8 passes), and 8 (80 yards, 7 passes)...

The Ravens run D is very tough, better this year than last, now that top run-stuffer DT Kelly Gregg has returned after missing all of last season. 2009 rushing yards per game: 51.0 (#1 in the NFL) Yards per carry: 2.5 ypc (#2) 2008 yards per game: 81.4 (#3) ypc: 3.6 (#5) 2007 yards...

Re: Sporting News: 6 out of 7 pick the Ravens to win I thought the divisional playoff win at #1 seed Tennessee last year was a pretty big road win. Not to mention the Wild Card win at Miami, and even the prime time win to shut down Texas Stadium and hold on to the final playoff berth over...

Just making the point that winning in San Diego is always tough - even your famous "dancing on the lightning bolt" playoff victory out there was hard-fought. Didn't the Pats score like 10 points in the last 5 minutes to pull that one out? Unless you're saying that all the Pats' wins last year...

Um, Flacco last year became the first NFL rookie to win his first two playoff starts, including a victory at Tennessee. Great board. I come in peace as a Baltimoron. A lot of the discussion here seems to be focused on the Ravens of last year – an all-out Rex Ryan blitzing D, with a...
