Week 16: Baltimore Ravens At Seattle Seahawks

[nevermore621]

Nate Burleson recieves one to Ravens 45

[theFRANCHISE]

Nice open-field tackle by Nick Grieson on Leonard Weaver to stop him short of the first down in space.

In a side note, wow...it took them roughly half of the first quarter for the Patriots to score their first TD against the Dolphins.

Hmm...

[MKdave]

troy has three yards from three passes, and willis has three yards from three rushes. That symetry makes up for those poor stats IMO

[nevermore621]

now 3rd and 2 for Seattle

[theFRANCHISE]

Ed Reed is DAT DUDE!

[PuppyPuncher]

EJ ON THE MIC!

[nevermore621]

HUGE Int for Ed Reeeed!!!!

[nevermore621]

Ravens take over around own 40

[theFRANCHISE]

BTW, nice Broadway showgirl-like move by Nate Burleson to try to punt the lobbed ball away before it got picked off...

...too bad he missed and looked stupid.

[theFRANCHISE]

EJ ON THE MIC!

No, no, no, I already established this in the other thread, that's my new phrase for whenever a Raven gets a SACK.

[GermanRavensFan]

When did we catch our last INT. Can't remember

[saved72907]

Nice pick....... we have great field position to start here..... let's not schwooh it up fellas!

[nevermore621]

Big break for Ravens -- can we capitalize???

[theFRANCHISE]

Big break for Ravens -- can we capitalize???

Hush your mouth with those hypothetical questions...this ain't philosophy class, I'm on Winter Break for a month-and-a-half, dammit!...

[theFRANCHISE]

Decent scatback by McGahee to take it back to the original line of scrimmage on 1st-and-15.

That's been indicative of the ground game all season, where McGahee has made plays on his own when the offensive line has broken down.

[nevermore621]

2nd and 9n for Ravens

[theFRANCHISE]

FINALLY, SOMEONE in the media recognizes McGahee's contribution to the Ravens offense...

...too bad it had to happen on a play where he gets hurt.

[GermanRavensFan]

Strange playcalling again!!

[nevermore621]

3rd and 8

[theFRANCHISE]

NICE 1st-down catch by Mason, and nice second effort to get past the first-down marker after going backwards (even though forward progression would, in theory, still have given him the first down).

[nevermore621]

Mason completes over middle for 1st

[nevermore621]

Seattle challenges play...

[theFRANCHISE]

Ah...we may have spoken too soon.

I don't think the evidence is really indisputable, but I'm not sure.

[MKdave]

what's happening with the challenge?

[GermanRavensFan]

Oh man... these injuries!!!

- Seems like Troy is under preasure

[theFRANCHISE]

Some angles say it's a catch, but one angle KINDA looks like the front of the ball may have bounced slightly off the ground before it was caught, but again, it has to be INDISPUTABLE evidence for the call to be overturned, so the ref has to be 100% sure.

If he's not 100% sure, he can't overturn it, even if there's a gut feeling that tells him it should be overturned. The evidence has to be there.

[nevermore621]

Gotta say we are hanging in there, banged up or not...

[theFRANCHISE]

Interesting...Cullen Finnerty is wearing #8, the same number Kyle Boller wore his rookie season...

For a second there, I almost thought Boller was the one standing behind Billick on the sideline.

[theFRANCHISE]

Damn, it was ruled incomplete.

Oh well, the stalemate continues for now.

[nevermore621]

Seattle wins the challenge
