Merged: Post Game Thoughts: Patriots

[Trilogique]

I know the game isn't over just yet, but let's see what the flock has to say.

I can sum up my thoughts with this statement:

This is the Ravens team from last year.

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

A total pleasure! Superior job by our O-line and the running backs. The defense, every aspect was total imposition of our will on a team that no one gave us a chance to beat! Welcome to the new decade Tommy boy, history was just rewritten!![img]http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/public/style_emoticons/default/argdancingravensblueonwkk8.gif[/img]

We need to get the pass game going but the D played great, even Frank Walker played well and I rarely say that. I want Indy, they always break my heart, I want to take them down. I'm proud of my Ravens, all the Brady lovers can shutup now. On to the next game. Way to go O & D Line. OLine gets the game ball

[MAESTRO]

[center]I have to say that all due respect to frank walker and chris carr. I beat these guys up since day one, but the way they played today absolutely stunned me. Carr never bit on a fake or a screen, Walker was ahead of every pass and was punishing people with big hits. Both guys played great coverage, and i'm extremely surprised and respectful to how they pulled it out today.

I think we all saw glimpses of what Fox can do too. After his talk with Ed Reed, he has been a whole different guy. Some of his diving leg tackles for losses today even reminded me of vintage Ed Reed. Everyone played superb, the entire defense looked like the defense of old. Great power, speed, and intelligence. I don't even know what else to say in regards to how well they played, it was totally amazing.

I want to throw this out there, and i'm sure some of you may call me stupid or crazy. I feel EXTREMELY good about our chances to hit a super bowl this year. We made the post season and no one gave us respect. We come out today with FIRE, and beat one of the 'upper echelon' teams that beat us by a small margin in the regular season. Now we go on to play another 'upper echelon' team who beat us by a narrow margin. The entire layout looks like it will be against teams that we have beaten (SD possibley), teams that we have motivation to come out and destroy and who have beaten us by a small margin in the season, and best of all the Jets may end up being a possible divisional game. I need not explain why THAT would be a game not needing motivation.

And with alot of people saying that GB is a likely contender to make a run, be it them or Vikings, all the way to the super bowl game itself it could be the Ravens avenging loses. I feel realyl good about the chances, and am extremely excited to see it play out.

thats the first time we beat new england in what 3 years and now were on our way to beat the indy . let me just say this WE ARE WHO WE THOUGHT WE WERE,
a great running team and a great deffense . the only team that can beat us is us!!!

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

Ray's sayin' it all, road warriors RAVENS RULE!!! [img]http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/public/style_emoticons/default/argdancingravensblueonbvx4.gif[/img]

Great game everyone.

I think Flacco was hurting more than anyone thought. He did not look like himself today, granted the #1 objective was to run the ball not throw.

[RavensTruFan]

Ray just said that the Ravens have been through so much together. And that's it. They have worked together and they have learned from their mistakes together. As a result, they have improved together. Their team presence is so obvious. They wanted to win and they did. Good going guys!!!

[D_UP]

Way too go ravens total domination!!!

[BmoreRav]

I just wanna say one thing...

THIS IS HOW GOOD WE ARE WHEN WE DON'T MAKE MISTAKES!!!

The one game we don't get multiple stupid penalties and we play good fundamental football, what happens???

[b]I'm proud of our football team!!![/b]

Yeah he was limited. 50+ rush attempts vs 10 passes. Don't forget that one of those incompletions was a drop by Demetrius. Oh and if Clayton was taller he would've had that ball lol.

If Flacco had thrown at least 20-30 passes I'm sure he would've done better. But hey! Stick to whats working. That's all we needed to do.

[mdrsharon]

In an interview, Ray Lewis said that this was the " most complete team" he has played with as Ravens.
I take it that means our offense is finally equal to our killer D.
Lovin' it!!
The best was the end of the game when Harbaugh ran up to the remaining fans in the stands for congrats.
They are the best and deserve to go all the way!!

[JoeCool#5]

We just need to run the ball. Joe made some critical throws for first down in the 2nd half, but you cant relying on the WR core has been suspect to drops all year. Flacco had an okay day, but Williams needs to come down with that deep bomb catch.
Just pound the rock and the D has been playing lights out lately.
Go

[RavensAllTheWay]

We finally beat the Patriots, and guess what? We did it when it counted most. This one's more significant than any of those times they beat us.

So many positives. The penalties were way down, the running game was outstanding, defense was vicious. Everyone played well, so we're moving on the play of all teams, INDY.

Thoughts on this week and next week?

[ROH522155]

My facebook status word for word:

The great Quarterback, the great coach, the great team in their home stadium. One and done. Out. Down for the count. The New England Patriots are done. See ya in September. Ravens? On to Indianapolis.

[kleberm]

Great job Frank! Way to step up when it really counts! Ozzie, re-sign him NOW! Super Bowl here we come! Peyton who?

[TSizzle00]

We all knew if Cam used all 3 RBs we would win and he did and we won!

Flaccos leg injuries are affecting his throws.

[JO_75]

This has to be the best all around 60 minute game the Ravens have played in this season. They put the pedal to the medal and never lifted until that clock said 0:00. The penalties we all worried about..... tooken care of. They made a few mistakes, but there wasn't any big costly penalty that would have cost the Ravens the win. They put pressure on Brady all day and forced him to make mistakes, they ran the ball well and ran the clock down to keep brady off the field for as long as they could. Defense played well and I just can't imagine how much better the D could have been with Webb at corner. If the Ravens play the way they did today, there is a good chance we'll beat the Colts Saturday Night.

I'm calling it right now, If the Ravens beat the Colts Saturday Night, the AFC Championship Game will be Ravens vs Chargers.

Not to get ahead of ourselves but if we beat the Colts I would much rather play the Jets than the Chargers because you all saw how we played in cold weather today..,however i think you're right with who we'll play.

Simply beatiful sight!

[PuRock]

I give my hat off to the Lines. They dominated both sides of the ball. They helped execute our game plan to a T.

Good job Lines. Let's do it again in Indy.
