Game Day Thread OFFICIAL: PATRIOTS vs. Ravens Divisional Playoff Game Thread

[letekro]

The Brady Special. 3rd inexcusable game-changing pick right before the half this year. Weve won the other 2 times!

 

[Skree]

Pats have turned it over (almost) 2 fuc$ing times and 1 for a INT, the Ravens 0. We are behind be 1 score. We haven't gotten to Flacco ONCE!

WTF!????!

Pull your head out of your ass PATS!!!

 

[DefenseRules]

Flacco is playing just about flawless and Brady is continuing to struggle in the playoffs yet again.

I cannot even believe the game is even this close because the pats are getting outplayed so badly.

If Flacco was getting his arse kicked by our DLine on every snap he would look like crap too. The Pats defense has no HEART. I MISS that old defense we had. Rodney, Willie, Teddy, et al. Those guys knew how to make big plays in big games. And this offensive line is SOFT. They suck. Period.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Bad penalty or not, give Flacco credit. He is outplaying Brady plain and simple. Brady's doing pretty good, really kept us in the game but 2 critical errors taking the sack out of FG range and the INT. Flacco's pretty much been flawless thus far.

 

[West Philly Patriot]

Win or lose Flacco should have more than earned his respect playoff wise. Dude is good. He has done nothing but look unshakeable on the biggest of stages

Second half adjustments that need to happen

On offense:
The running game needs to show some life, someone needs to step up

Get Tim wright involved, go with some two TE heavy sets, to set up some play action

Take care of the ****ing ball. at least 2 fumbles, 1 int. we are lucky to be down just 7 right now.

On Defense:

Start tackling cleaner. too many broken Tackles.

be even less physical, since the ravens are getting all of the calls

Chandler jones needs to start looking for the run a little. hes a liability in the run game, and the ravens are GASHING the pats running right at him.

The patriots need to play perfect football in the second half, and hope that Joe Flacco starts to look a little less sharp.

Hope the no TD in the 2nd half trend continues

 

[Mach1]

Just checking at half time, great game. Expect it to come down to the end.

 

[Archeryaddict12]

Brady just wants a GW drive stat lol

 

[cavtroop]

Looking ahead: remember how AWESOME our D finished out the season with that huge string of near shoutout second halves?

BRING IT ON

 

[RobertWeathers]

We all knew that this was going to be a dogfight.

Pats showed great toughness to even the score.

Brady screwed up...move on.

They score at the start of the 3rd and it's an even game.

Their D needs to show up. Flacco is NOT this good.

Revis PI was absurd.

 

[Midship]

Considering how bad that half felt, we're lucky to be down one score. We also get the ball to start the second.

If they get their heads out of their asses they should pull this game out

 

[heavyde050]

Question .... Why was the defense on the field?

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

 

[Kdo5]

I can think of one other INT that was nearly fatal. 2011 AFCCG. We have the lead and Brady throws up a prayer to Slater I believe which was picked by the Ravens in the endzone. Brady's INT reminded me of that. Momentum killer.

 

[Banjo]

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

 

[tmajr3]

TB12 awful decision gives up 7 points. The other 14 though, are on the D, Patricia, and BB

 

[DarrylS]

I have once again entered the parallel universe of Patsfans.com, that was a tough half of playoff football...

Don't quit on this team.. except for couple of plays they have done ok..

 

[sambam94]

How could they give up a TD there?

a good defense doesnt

 

[Guts]

Flacco is a great postseason QB like Eli so frustrating to watch

 

[rochrist]

This year was our best shot to the SB and I see it slipping away..

If they can't man up and beat the Ravens, they'd get destroyed by Seattle. So, we'll see. Either they come out and prove they belong, or not. I don't want to lose another SB.
