True, but it was a "slow-pitch softball" and the majority still whiffed.

Now I am glad we won the game, but that play gave away a free touchdown, and not to mention the momentum, in a game where my players came out on fire. That's the coaches fault and it's worst that getting a ruffing the passer penalty on a 4th and 14 play, as far as I am concerned.

I "understand" your point...but I, however, think your point is not valid. If a team is up 24-0, how can one bad call by the ref, then the ensueing TD steal away all the momentum? I do not understand your logic. I could see if the score was 14-0 then ok, but come on now. I think you should take a step back and think for a second and realize that you, my friend, are beating a dead horse. No one is perfect, and the call had no effect on the outcome of the game so why keep pushing the issue? A true fan would still be relishing in the MAJOR victory, not in one small blemish on a complete domination of a dynasty.

this is just an awful thread, im sorry. John Harbaugh is one of the best playoff coaches in the league, he has led us to 3 road playoff wins the last 2 years. To compare, we have 6 road playoff wins total since 2000. Harbaugh is responsible for half. He makes a few mistakes, sure, but it absolutely didnt come close to costing us the game. It led to a 24-7 game. I agree however that Harbaugh must get these bad calls challenged in the Colts game, if there are any. But no, he is not a problem at all, be happy with how our season is going and like others said ENJOY THE RIDE

Not that it matters, but I think this poster is operating in the realm of reality. Harbaugh's credentials and outcomes are exceptional, no questioning that. But he also inherited a veteran team that simply quit on Billick. And HE got REAL LUCKY with Cam developing Flacco as quickly as he did.

[b]I'll still give him his props though because the success happened on his watch. It is what it is. [/b]

However, Harbaugh has shown some GLARING weaknesses that have "SHOCKED ME." This missed call was one of them. That's all I'm saying.

And as it relates to the "free touchdown"? In any other playoff game against a tesm with the history as the Patriots? It would have cost us the game.

[b]It WAS STILL a bonehead mistake.[/b]

Now, NE has won three super bowls in the decade and the fans boo them for the entire game. So I guess those are not TRUE PATRIOT FANS EITHER? RIGHT?

Nah, that's not true. True fans cheer when you do something well and they voice displeasure at ineptitude. Especially in Major League Sports Towns, fans are known to be tough (Philly, NY, Boston, SF). Why do you think they produce so many champions? Soft Fans? Hardly not. I beg to differ.
