no doubt hes clutch. i knew it was good to pick him. you knew what to expect with cundiff. if you let go of tucker, you might be taking a risk of letting go of someone who could be a pro bowler.

This kid is already a pro-bowler....not that that particular game means anything. But he defines the word clutch, without a doubt. Excellent pick, couldnt be happier after a dismal 3 quarters of play in SD.

justin tucker is that dude!!

The bar for Kickers is much higher than it has ever been. Justin has us well over that bar. We have a great chance to win the close ones with him. Today was proof.

Tucker, Torrey, Rice, and Pitta are CLUTCH! Cam Cameron is a mo-ron the way he passed up on a short FG to run the ball up the middle on 4th and 1. Especially when we had already been stopped twice on 3rd and 1 running up the middle. Have these coaches ever heard of a play action pass when they stack the box and commit to stopping the run???

There was also the clock management before the half where we wanted to go for it. San Diego wouldn't have called a timeout if we actually subbed our punt team in. Then we could have called a timeout when we wanted to. But even with 11 seconds left in the half and 1 timeout, why not take a shot to get in field goal range? If you go deep, you run the clock for at least 8 seconds, and that wouldn't be enough time for the Chargers to complete a pass and get into field goal range.

The other poorly managed situation was at the end of the 4th where we went conservative running rice up the middle, instead of taking a shot or two in the endzone. Good thing our D stepped up and we made some plays in OT.

Ray Rice toughness heart and determination gave us a chance on 4th and 29,wow,unheard of isn't it.Flacco drove us down the field when needed,due too clutch catches and Justin Tucker finished the game off with clutch kicking.Ravens WIN A TIGHT 1! Good night!

Guys if ya appreciate this win, show some love and don't forget to vote for our guys for the Pro Bowl(although they will hopefully be at the SB) but it is a great honor for the players nonetheless.

Vote and vote often!

I've never been more at ease watchin a kicker line up then with this guy. For a rookie to come in after the Cundiff debacle, outshine him in training camp, outshine him in pre-season (perfect on-side kick) and all but perfect throughout the season...absolutely amazing job!

Great win. I think Harbaugh at times simply wants to win the games more than let them develope. I think he made the right call to go for it on that 4th, but...maybe Flacco should have tried to dive for it once more, he only needed a 1/2 yard or less. The long to develope hand-off was ill fated right away and a bad choice, I agree with someone earlier. I'm glad that Harbs has the gumption to want to win and he made a lot of decisions with management of the game down the stretch that gave us a lift. Yes, that FG would have been nice, but we always play better when we're up against the wall. And lastly, Joe was spot-on for most of the last quarter. We punted a few times, but he was very steady and made a lot of great throws, incl. that one that Tandon Doss caught above the shorter defender. Give Joe credit too!

I'm starting not to worry when the game is on the line and we have to depend on his leg. It seems like regardless of the distance, this kid is money!!! I can't say it enough, keeping him over Cundiff was probably one of the best coaching moves of the season!!!

[flaccopoe]

I look forward to him declining his Pro Bowl invitation to prepare for the Super Bowl!

We need a new definition of the "Tuck Rule"

Just WIN Baby!!! :-)
