I'm going with Ray Rice. He was consistently making plays when we needed them. He became a real catalyst for the offense in the 2nd half.

None of what you have there!

Torrey 100%

[Baltimore Buckeyes]

Where's the Torrey option?

[font=times new roman,times,serif][i]The pass rush wasn't that great, but the defense did what it had to do when it counted the most. Offense gelled. STs were on target all night.[/i][/font]

I would say Joe but he had 1 INT and another dropped. I'll say the O-line, which isn't an option but should be considered. There were huge holes for the run game and plenty of time in the passing game.

I felt like they had an average game. Oher was getting spanked for most of the game. Flacco was on the run a bit. Couldn't get a push on short yardage. Flacco [i]was[/i] mostly clean though.

[The Raven]

My vote goes to the offense. Flacco had a great game. Rice and Leach had great games. Line had a solid game. Pitta did very well. Receivers did pretty well too.

The defense struggled!

Yeah they had a lot of issues getting off the field early on. They came through when it mattered though!

[Malkavian Raven]

[font=times new roman,times,serif][i]I will say this though... considering the situation, Torrey put on one hell of a show tonight! Joe, aside from the one pick early on, he looked lights out as well. Ray, both of them, looked amazing.[/i][/font]

[font=times new roman,times,serif][i]I think Joe should get the Offensive Player of the Week again -- just for showing up Brady again!! Him or Torrey.[/i][/font]

You'd have to think Torrey would be the front runner. He really had a spectacular game.

And thank God they did! I feel like its on Pees now. I hate to throw coaches under the bus, but he's not playing our corners to their strength. The DB blitzes need to stop. Belichick and Brady seemed to be targeting our corner blitzes today. They really took advantage of them.

[K-Dog]

What about me? I wore my lucky Ravens underwear. That had to count for something.

Yeah really. Those might work against young guys like Dalton, but Brady is way too smart for that. I'm not a huge Pees fan through 3 games.

It might just be growing pains, but I don't like his calls. He gets too conservative sometimes. And I HATE corner blitzes!!!

[Twistidfunk]

I voted Torrey, man was beast today. A lot of players had a good game, including Flacco but Torrey was insane tonight.

I didn't know about Torrey's brother until about 5 min before the game, awful news. I am shocked he played.

Right Field Goal Post Official

I thought Tucker missed it from my impression, but that kick could've went both ways I guess, since it went over the post.

[reediddy]

It's cliche but it was a total team victory. OL was great for the majority of the game, save some phantom holding calls, and I thought Oher held up VERY well against Chandler Jones (surprised the commentators didn't mention that tidbit about the Jones' brothers, by the way).

Defense came through in the clutch, when we needed them. I don't know if that's due to the players that we have or if Pees made adjustments real late, but flat out, when we needed the stop, we got em.

Flacco was on point after the early pick. Torrey Smith, you can't say enough about him. Jacoby Jones was huge. Pitta, as always. RR.

And then Justin Tucker came through. Great team win!

Not a Pees fan either. Our defense does not look like "our" defense anymore. Really wish Pagano was still here. He was really stupid to leave IMO. He could have stayed a few more years and been the hot next coach (after a superbowl win!). Now he is gonna suck in Indy. 2 and done

The 4th quarter showed what this tteam can do when clicking. Good balance on offense. Pressure and better coverage and solid play on st. Flacco still needs to check himself on some of these passes but a good performance by the team when we needed it. WHY THO HELL DIDN'T WE TAKE THE 3 POINTS THOUGH?

[raybaby]

Obviously it took the whole team but if Torrey doesn't play... we lose. Period. Him actually playing is incredible on it's own but for him to then make the plays that he did is unbelievable. He was the difference. What he was doing kept the team alive through the craziness.

[Gordo52]

We wouldn't have won if it wasn't for Torreys one of the great all time performance.

[ravens__]

The offensive line should be an honorable mention, they played their hearts out tonight.

Last week we were second guessing why we didn't run on 3rd and 4th downs in the 4th quarter. Sometimes we make the wrong call at the right time or the right call at the wrong time. This week we should have kicked it.

[callahan09]

I vote Torrey Smith. He opened it up for us on offense in the late game. We were down 2 scores, and he starts showing up BIG TIME. It had been a few drives in a row since the last time our defense actually got a stop. Patriots had been driving down the field. It's the kind of heroics that Torrey showed in the fourth quarter that lead Ray Lewis to stepping up his game and his encouragement to the rest of the defense, and it leads to faith in the mind's of the defense that the offense can pull this one out, so the defense gets that edge and passion and goes out there and finishes the job when it matters most.

It's obvious that without Torrey the offense wouldn't have got it done. It's less obvious, and equally as true from my perspective, that without Torrey the defense wouldn't have got their heads on straight and got it done as well.
