The Official Patriots vs Ravens game thread

[Pessimistic Pete]

CRUSH them this drive. End it now. We have absolutely all of the momentum.

It's opportunities like these to put things away that you really end up regretting late in the 4th. Just ****ing end it.

McCourty needs to make that interception, those types of plays are the only thing standing between him and being the best safety in the NFL.

Well on the plus side, it turns out better he didn't catch it, we'll have better field position now.

Not complaining but don't you know how unclutch this D is? They will nearly always throw the game away. Needed a big stop last week to get number 1 seed and couldn't do it. Not surprised if they mess it up against Flukeo either.

The Ravens are probably one of the worst offenses they faced all year if not the worst. The Ravens offense is only good in the last minute of the game or so. If they can't get past midfield all game, it won't matter how good they are in the last minute of the game.

Significant wind pushing that punt back.

something to watch. Wasnt it predicted to be thunderstorms during the game?

 

[SunsOutGunsOut]

I'm sorry but good safeties catch those balls and Devin hasn't since his rookie year at any secondary position.

dude ... why do you torture yourself? Relax, enjoy the game ..

 

[English Patriot]

Need to be creative since d line isn't doing anything

Yeah they are stinking up the joint when they should be smelling blood like sharks against Flacco.

Did you stop watching the pats in 2011 and 2012? What about McCourty's game winning pick vs Buffalo last year? Or the one few weeks back for pitt?

Go Arrington, that's how you wrap a guy up and finish a sack

That’s 2 games in a row that Arrington has a sack, I like that nickel blitz call they’ve added. One of the perks of having McCourty at safety is he can pick up coverage and play man-to-man as well as any corner on the team not named Talib.

 

[DefenseRules]

Defense is getting it done so far. It does help that Flacco is playing on one leg, but they are still doing a good job.

 

[PP2]

The team is very focused tonight. Hope this continues into the playoffs.

Reiss tweet: The Patriots become the first team since the NFL merger (1970) to win 10 division titles in 11 seasons, according to Elias Sports Bureau

Let's see mr. Fivehead match that.

 

[Foxypats]

last two weeks we have had a decent pass rush. Hopefully it continues.

 

[Froob]

Ravens have zero points....

 

[Rob0729]

In hindsight, it was better McCourty didn't intercept the ball. The Pats are in much better field position.

You're not complaining? Wtf would you call what you're doing, then?

McCourty is a top safety in the NFL; like I said if he can start making those plays he will be the clear cut best safety but to imply he isn’t a good safety isn’t an accurate assessment.

 

[English Patriot]

I'm looking ahead bro, you have no idea how much we'll need to win TO battle in the playoffs because they can't stop any back running the ball and they make scrubs like Tannehill and Campbell look all pro.

So hence why i don't want our safety dropping wide open interceptions.

 

[SVN]

good timeout by balt.

 

[Uncle Rico]

That's a nice catch by Edelman. Hope Boyce paid attention to that replay.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Man, it's crazy that Brady was able to pump fake and get that throw off. Mankins is getting it done in both phases of the game

 

[English Patriot]

You're not complaining? Wtf would you call what you're doing, then?

I got faith in Tom every single week even with 15 seconds to go at our own 1 yard line and needing a TD, but this defense without the key players, nope.
