the defense played lights out the 1st quarter, and would have continued but the Ravens essentially had 5 downs because of the refs.
The game isn't determined after 15 minutes.
The defense allowed 503 yards.
The defense allowed 121 rushing yards on 26 carries

16
5
27
incomplete
(penalty 1st down)

THEY NEVER EVEN FACED A 3RD DOWN
then starting from the 21
24

17
1
incomplete
27 yard PI (the only 3rd down they faced on either drive)
kneel down
Game winner
What exactly is good in all of that?
2 drives 164 yards, 19 plays, including penalties. 10 points. And it only took the 5 minutes and 16 seconds to move all 164 yards.
Total defensive meltdown.
It is an embarassment to good defense to say the Patriots played good defense last night.
LOL@AndyJohnson.... stats are for losers.
Did you even watch the game?
The stats only look bad due to the way the game was officiated.
How many yards would the Ravens have had if it wasn't for their drives being extended on phantom calls against our defense?
How many yards would Ray Rice have had if our defense wasn't gassed out from being on the field so long on the previous drive that should've ended in a punt, but was instead ending in a TD thanks to the refs?
yes, how many times did we come up with a key stop only for the refs to pull out a BS flag and give them another go? how many times did the D-line get blatantly held?
You should read this from the perspective of a neutral observer then ask yourself if you'd make the same post again.LOL@AndyJohnson.... stats are for losers.

How many yards & points would the Pats have had if they didn't award us 8 first downs on penalties last night?? It goes both ways. Say what you want about stats, that defense sucked balls last night.
The first downs we got off penalties were mostly legit. Deion Branch being hit in the head with a forearm for example.
While the first down the Ravens were given were off BS phantom "defensive holding" calls.
No calling crap defense good is for losers.LOL@AndyJohnson.... stats are for losers.
Yes I did., I saw us being essentially incapable of stopping anything they did after the first quarter. What were you watching?Did you even watch the game?
No the stats look bad because the Ravens ran 65 plays and gained 503 yards on them. A bad call by the ref doesn't excuse letting them walk down the field after it.The stats only look bad due to the way the game was officiated.
There was ONE 3rd down that resulted in a 1st down on those 4 TD drives, and 1 more on the FG.How many yards would the Ravens have had if it wasn't for their drives being extended on phantom calls against our defense?
He had 50 in the first half.How many yards would Ray Rice have had if our defense wasn't gassed out from being on the field so long on the previous drive that should've ended in a punt, but was instead ending in a TD thanks to the refs?

You are seriously embarassing yourself now
For some football players (and boxers as well), they may not suffer too many concussions, but will get slap around ovre a sustained period of time. Each individual hit may not be a major effect, sure it hurt at the time..but in isloation wasn't the end all be all.The defense allowed 503 yards.

However, it is the cumulative effect that leads to dire situations later in life. Kinda macrocosm of a football season or perhaps even a game.
What I'm trying to say, si that you (and I) have no idea what the effect of all those sustained drives and phantom. calls had on the net effect of the entire game. the issue could have just be that down, that drive, that quarter or even the rest of the game. The easy thing about being i na positino stating what you have stated is it's the fact of what was, not what could have been.
But, we'll never know and the players had to play. Could the defense have been better if it had gotten off the field on early downs that may have been due to penalites? Could the offense have had a better rhytm if they were on the field more frequently? Would the ravens defense have been more tired and not as effective.
All I know is, they lost and time to move on. I'm not sure what will be applicable from this game the next time we play them or any other team, thsi just seemed liek a rare occurence in an NFL game.
The defense was not as bad as the numbers would seem to indicate, and there's no question that calls like the Mayo call (78 yards and 7 points) led to significant numbers that should never have happened. There's just no honest and sober way to say that the defense played well after the first few drives, though.
