Game Day Thread The Official Patriots vs Ravens AFC Championship Game thread

Offense left a lot of points out there in the 1st half. Obvious Brady did NOT know he has a TO left at the end of the half and it took the coaches far too long to use that TO. INEXCUSABLE!!!!!

 

[PATRlOT]

If we can contain the Ravens offense as well as we did in the first half, that's huge and IMO we'll win the game.

The Pats need to get Vereen more involved in the Passing game. The Ravens don't have anyone who can really cover him effectively. BRADY needs to look for his hot receiver more. I lost count of the number of times Ridley and Woodhead were open only to have Tom try and force it to Lloyd or Welker or Branch.

The defense needs to keep putting pressure on Flacco. Ninkovich's sack came at a great time. now that he knows how to beat McKinnie, let's hope he can do it some more. Hopefully Talib can start the 2nd half since he came back out of the locker-room.

I've not seen any of the Pats light D-line packages where they put Francis, Scott, Ninkovich and Wilfork out there. It's all been base for their front 4 with the back 7 changing up.

I think the Pats have done a great job of containing Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce. Other than the TD, those two have been held in check.

VEREEN IS BEING UNDERUSED!11

I predict deep throws.

I also predict a deep throw and interception with Brady punishing them.

37-17 to pats

We haven't heard Smith's or Boldin's name called much either. The Ravens are gonna try to change that.

I think Vereen will have to be unveIled now

still expecting the time of possession, long week last week and fast pace O to wreak havoc in 2nd half.

but if not; the missed ww catch when a check-down was there, TB not running out of bounds or calling TO is possibly 4-7-11 pts left on the field in the first half.

20+ start field position diff in first half and total yards domination and only 6 pts lead to show for it. Ravens have to feel mentally still in it.

pats need shut down D 3-out and dominant length of field drive to suck the life out of these guys.

 

[fnordcircle]

Really happy with our defense. Outstanding on all but one drive even with injuries in the secondary.

Would like to see some more Vereen and more throws in Lloyd's direction in the 2nd half. On offense we need to sustain and finish drives.

It really should be the Patriots leading by 24 or 17 at this point. Gotta credit the Ravens defense but let's see if they can keep playing that stout against us for 4 quarters.

Some of the personal today has been questionable.

Lack of Vereen
Francis over Jones, Cunningham and Scott

 

[Sfpat]

Wow, neither Pats DB knew where the ball was

 

[heavyde050]

Good defense on that long pass. Gregory could have picked that if he was looking back.

 

[1%er]

Dennard is a shutdown corner

 

[trippyime]

That should've been defended...

 

[resdubwhite]

ok. So the ravens are now in throwing it mode. time for a pick.

 

[heavyde050]

3rd and long and the secondary can't stop it. That is just tough.

 

[buile]

POWWW :rocker:

 

[resdubwhite]

good play on D. tiem for another one please.

 

[SVN]

ravens are not going to go away. our missed chances hopefully dont come back and bite us.

 

[ausbacker]

Come on D. Get off the field.

 

[resdubwhite]

one more for a 3 and out.
