Hey guys,

Good season! I was at the game yesterday and talked football with a bunch of knowledgeable Ravens fans who handled themselves with class. Anyone know "Lunatic"? That guy was awesome. Good luck next season, I'm sure we will meet again soon.

If anyone sees Billy with a new car or house then I know it was fixed.

We all remember where we were when it happened, and we all had the same look on our faces.

Quarterbacks Joe Flacco's play (above his normal) did cost the Ravens against the Patriots. Yes Flacco completed 22 passes versus the 31[sup]st[/sup] ranked defense. Now take a look at the 14 incompletions that Flacco throw. In the 1[sup]st[/sup] he had 2 incompletions, one that should have been intercepted, plus his poor throw for a completion to Smith cost the Ravens 4 points. 2nd quarter was better (Pitta’s TD catch that was behind him) and Dickson could have helped Flacco and moved the chains. In the 3[sup]rd[/sup] quarter there was a throw behind Rice, a Leach drop and a poor decision of throwing to Wilson in the end zone (Patriots were ready for that play). If Flacco had the necessary field vision he would have passed to Leach who was right in front of him or Flacco running the ball himself, both opitions would have been TDs. Now to the final quarter which had 6 incompletions: the interception, the 4[sup]th[/sup] and 6 disaster (This was the 4[sup]th[/sup] down and 6 play, really can’t blame Flacco (heavy pass rush) only ask to throw the ball down field and not to the side, hoping for a great catch, an interference call or intercepted deep in Patriots territory), a poor throw towards Boldin, a throw that was behind Rice again, Evan’s big-time not securing the ball TD, and the forced throw to Pitta (Flacco should have ran the ball to get the 1[sup]st[/sup] down).

Yes Flacco has been in the playoffs every year, but he’s had the benefit of a great defense for all those years. Bring in a QB next season that challenges Flacco for the starting spot! I liked the way Ed Reed called out Flacco and the O-line, but I didn’t the fact I never heard Flacco man-up and say “Ed’s right.”

Don’t but blame Cam Cameron's predictable play-calling for everything that went wrong, but Cam didn’t throw the interception and he did miss Torrey Smith on a couple of deep throws. Yes, I would like to see Cam continue with the running plays in the final quarter when it was working. Successfully running the football is an attitude, plain and simple. Also, Cam cannot he blocking for the offensive-line or catching the nose of the football for the receivers.

1. Finally Joe's critics are silenced. Yes, he is elite.
2. I thought this was the year, but now I'm convinced next year is. Last year we had to get over Steelers (we did that :)), next year its the AFC Championship
3. Cam is gone, maybe Pagano too (unfortunately)
4. We desperately need a pass rusher, and a dominant O-lineman
5. Jimmy Smith and Torrey Smith will be the best players at their position on the team
6. T. Doss and L. Williams are going to be dominant
7. 2012 IS OUR YEAR BABY

Man this picture and the lil clip where you can see him wording it haunts me dude. I was standing two inches from the tv in shock and total disbelief!! The biggest Ravens loss of all time. Though it hurts it will go down in history as a classic...I hate NE just as much as the steelers.... maybe not but i still hate them

Billy was promised tickets to the Super Bowl and a suitcase full of cash. Sounds like Italian politicians to me.

New England is becoming the new Pittsburgh. We conquered that goal this year. Next year, our sights are on NE. Watch out Brady!

New England is just New England. The Ravens have always struggled against them (hence the one win in franchise history). This is nothing new.

[CapoRocky]

I don't think we struggled with them. We almost beat them during their undefeated season. We beat them in the playoffs once. We took them to OT last year. We should have beaten them in this year's playoffs. There is nothing to be ashamed of except maybe the OL letting a fat slob like Wilford push them around. The refs cost us the game. We will be back next year to make them pay. Sweep the Steelers, too.

Sorry but had to post here to remove your name from being the last thing here. It really just makes me sick to see Stover's name given how we lost.
