I dont blame Lee Evans......the defender hit it out of his hands......now on the 3rd and 1 play Flacco shouldve run for the first instead of trying to throw it to Pitta.........all in all it should be in OT right now.....

yeah lets blame flacco, not lee evans who is a RECIEVER his job is to catch balls.. you know what it would be best if flacco just threw it to himself and made a backflip into the endzone

[chilloutpeople]

I just got few things to say.
1. Flacco is our qb. This guy is clutch and never get RATTLED. He played a great game. Imagine if evans caught it(questionable call), he just led a another comeback. He proved to people that he can play under pressure. He will only get better from here.

2. CUT CUNDIFF. Stop being that scrub's lover. I hate him and can't stand him.

3. Young wrs like DOSS, WILLIAMS, REED. Plese work with flacco during the offseason. You guys are going to BE the 3rd receiver and be boldin's successor.

4. Fire Cam!!!!!!. And pratice catching the ball every day.
5.KEEP YOUR HEADS UP, FANS AND PLAYERS.

Im just looking forward to next year because the Ravens will have Boldin Smith and Evans and the two young tightends and there will be a new offensive cordinator

[mark0408]

How many times do I have to type Cams contract ran out after this season

[respecttheRaven]

I hope no one is blaming Flacco for that loss.... he played his heart out!!!!!

[ghost1986]

I don't want to hear one single person EVER say Flacco should be fired. He played his butt off. He impressed me so much and in my opinion he outplayed Tom Brady. The refs screwed the pooch. They called that illegal use of hands on Webb at the beginning yet they didn't want to call that POOR EXCUSE of a defender for dry humping Pitta on that 3rd down. I hate the Cheatriots. I'll be looking for a new job this summer. I was going to go back to my old one, but my supervisor was a Cheatriots fan.

[T.O.]

I am pissed.

[mark0408]

I hope Flacco and Rice get tgat extension

[Barney S]

Get some players who can catch the ball...

If you watch the replay Evans had more than enough time to secure the catch. He got relaxed and stopped on the play. I guess not playing much this season really showed today. But you must secure the catch and hold it because you know have to make a complete catch in the end zone. So in my opinion he blew the play. Sorry.

[AmericanSatire]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]I find it amusing you cannot find a good replay of the Evans "drop", however the one on the game highlights on NFL.com clearly shows Evans taking three steps before the ball comes popping out.[/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]All I can do is cough this one up to bad karma and bad officiating, on both counts. And I say both counts, because the Jerome Simpson touchdown against us was clearly a TD that was overturned. And this was clearly a touchdown as well.[/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]Just sad to see it end like that.[/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]It would've been one thing if we got our [butts] handed to us, but that one play would've put the game out of reach for the Patriots, forcing them to drive 80-or-so yards in 40 seconds, only a TD would help.[/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]Man, I gotta go run. Get out of this house. I'll be back after a mile or two.[/font]

[font=comic sans ms,cursive]Ravens staff, hear me now, #1 priority this offseason, find out from the NFL what constitutes a TD in the endzone.[/font]

The rules are kind of crazy when there is a catch in the end zone. But I'm not sure if that play would fall underneath of those rules. But I still say he had time to secure the catch before the DB got to him.

[redlobster]

Where we're Suggs and ngata today ?

[JIVE1000]

I've said it all season even though I wished it weren't so. This was not the year. Next year is the one. Still some rust and inexperience in there and lots of players who don't come to play all the way for the win. They need to be weeded out and the rest need to get on with a win next year. Great defense, excellent display today by Flacco and some of his receivers like Smith and Boldin. More to come next year.

[RavenAllDay]

Oh yeah...I think all the Flacco haters should STHU. He outplayed Brady today. And he definitely deserves respect.

We do have players that can catch, that includes Boldin, Doss (who should've gotten more play time this season), LQ. They all have some great hands.

[JIVE1000]

A lot of receivers get goofy after a catch or run into the endzone. Celebrating, dropping the ball to dance or whatever they call it. Could this have been on Evans mind? He clearly caught the ball. The Ravens clearly won the game but the call was bad. The two interceptions that were overturned by penalties are a little more than suspect to me as well considering there were blatent penalties all day by NE without any flags being thrown. Will never know but I'll bet the NE fanbase is larger than Bmore's so it will earn the NFL more tv revenues/ratings.

[NSU98]

So where do we go from here? What do we need?

A big tall receiver that we can throw jump balls to?
A 1st round pass rusher like Jason Pierre Paul/Alden Smith?
A 1st round inside linebacker?
A 1st round safety?

Or do we do this in free agency?

[mark0408]

I looking forward to next season the Ravens will be even better Jimmy Smith will be a shut down corner and Torrey Smith will be a beast ar receiver

[SilverMyst]

Flacco had an ok day not a great day but a ok day....Offence line held up 50% of the time....And Don't look for Lee Evans to Go....Ray will be Back he said so him self....Ed Reed will be back no dought.... Flacco will probally be resigned not for what he wants but resigned non the less.... If they cut anyone it should be Cam because his play calling for the most part just doesn't fit our team.... I say have a contest with the fans on which fan will do the play calling next year....

Is It Evans Faught for getting the ball striped no i think it isn't will the ravens ask NFL why wasn't it a touch down....? Yup you can bet your Tooty.... and of course in the course of the next couple of weeks we'll hear the NFL say OOOPS Sorry....

Was it the kicker who missed the field goal for the Tie Well we do pay him to make 39 yard field goals....He'll be hearing that the rest of his life and sadly enough No teams will touch him after that one.... at least for awhile....

Lets face it we played we kept up Brday didn't throw any touchdowns....flacco in a sence beat Brady....

Please I hope they keep the team the same and work in the off season on making the Key changes they need to make....

I thought Joe played an awesome game. I am a proud Ravens fan today, looking forward to many good seasons ahead.

[CawCaw]

Didn't Evans get two feet down before the ball was stripped? Or is the completion rule different in the end zone? You can check out the replay here: [url="http://www.nflrush.com/video/3513"]http://www.nflrush.com/video/3513[/url]

[mark0408]

I think the Ravens should sign Braylon Edwards to a one year deal he would be a low risk maybe high reward signing

This guy is derp

[Justin Kincer]

Joe played amazing today, no one can take away the fact that he went toe to toe with Tom Brady and beat him at his own game. Dropped pass, missed holding call and terrible kicker are to blame

[mark0408]

I feel like going out and fighting a patriots fan what band wagoners

Yeah well Gronkowski made that catch near the sideline that was called incomplete that would have set up 1st and goal. It went both ways.
