but then they beat the pats in the playoffs after that
2 years later they finally won for the first time ever (in the TFB era), and that was the very first game without Welker..who went down in the season finale at HOU.
In the BAL game the Ravens came out and played a great game, and were exceptional on making some key defensive plays.
The 2009 season was a lot like the 2005 season (IMO). Both were Pats teams who were in a transitional period, for one reason or another. Both were also years where the talent just wasn't there.
But you can't argue that BAL was terribly salty about their loss in the '07 season when that fat blowhard Rex called the timeout right before they stuffed Brady on the sneak, thus ruining their upset. It all came to a head a couple yrs later when Brady gestured to the ref for a flag when Suggs went low for his lower leg/knee, which was perceived by many to be a wussy move. In all fairness, I have seen every single QB in the game ask the ref for a call/argue a call before, especially considering that Brady had just returned from his major surgery. At any rate, BAL fans had it building up for a long time, so that was their 'big' chance at...something that they could use. They finally won the game in the 09 season's playoffs, and that was their ONE victory over the team in the Brady era.
