[News] Game Recap: Patriots 41, Ravens 7

[Ngata_loser]

smh...plenty of things that were terrible. one thing i want to point out is why is shotgun formation the only formation we were showing the Patriots D? we have to give opposing defenses different looks or else we are going to make it real easy for them to defend us.

[Barry S]

They went from Superbowl heroes to out of the playoff zeroes. They need to take a hard look at the offense, is Cam Cameron available? LOL!!!!!!!!!

[Bruce_Almty]

We got our butts kicks by the replacements replacements.

[OrganisedChaos2]

Flaccos knee didn't look completely healed, other than that horrible game. Playoff chances don't look amazing right now, if SD wins we can't make it, and they're playing the chiefs next week who now have no reason not to rest their starters.

[The Mom Gene]

I don't see KC resting...  Andy Reid isn't that way.  Not with a team like that and with a couple of "L's" lately...  I think San Diego has a good chance of losing to KC.

[jimgiampaoli]

We expect to win next week? Not with our O line. Not with our coaching staff. We can't execute on third and one. Even if Cinncy plays their substitutes, we'll be hard pressed. It's nightmarish if Spagnolo and Castillo are re-signed next year.

[Bleed purple20]

i love the ravens but to be honest the O is terrible. 7 points? really they need help. cant wait until next year. because tonight was 100 percent unacceptable.

[The Mom Gene]

Laugh if you will...  But the man was the Offensive Coordinator and QB coach for LSU this past season...  They went 9 - 3.  I couldn't call that a shabby season by any means.  He was the fall guy....  The fans called for his firing, and I'm still not so sure that was the issue at all.

[baltimore1975]

Were's all of the Flacco lovers? I will continue to say he is only a playoff QB. What we saw today has been our offense all year long. The only difference is we couldn't even get in field goal range to kick field goals to make the game even seem like it was close. So don't act like you are surprised if you have been watching this offense all year long. I can't remember when was the last time this offense had a complete game? Are we really a playoff team this year is the question?

Flacco has looked horrible all year long, don't blame it on the knee.

[TrooRavenFan]

The Ravens had the opportunity of a lifetime to control their own destiny and guess what.....they blew it. Tonight proved to me that we lack leadership on the offensive side and don't have what it take to go up against a Manning or Brady on the road down the line.

[The Mom Gene]

I don't know why people are saying the Patriots ran up the score. The Pats ran on 9 straight plays and scored and then got two defensive turnovers. That's not running up the score people...

NO, not at all.... especially when we GIVE them 28 of those points....  Our defense held them for 3 quarters...  the last 14 were nothing shy of laughable... 

[kash96ravenstotalfan]

Really, is that all we got? Team should be embarrassed by their play, I know I was ad a fan. We sucked on all sides of the ball. Should we look at the coaches or did the players fail to execute? Defense was asleep, why did that happen? Don't know what else to say

[baltimore1975]

We got our butts kicks by the replacements replacements.

That's my whole point about Flacco. We can complain about how many guys he don't have from last year and Brady continues to win with guys you never heard of before. He does it constantly. ELITE QBs takes care of business regardless of who is around him.

We were in the redzone 3 times today....  Once on the 1 yard line and we hand it off to Rice up the middle....  QB sneak would have done that one.  Joe scored one, and the other we ended up missing a FG by Tucker...  Sorry, but I'm not putting these games all on Flacco...  It's a weary argument when you have an O-Line that can't block, has multiple penalties every single game, and needs RB's and TE's to keep players off the edge and away from our QB...  and if they aren't there, he's sacked or worst...  I have seen a crisp pocket in only 1 game this year.  And, to add to that????  Torrey needs some stickum on his gloves...  Between him and Dickson, I'm not sure who's dropped more passes.

[RavenManiac20]

Makes me sick to my stomach knowing that because of our terrible QB, we will lose 4 or 5 very good players next season. He is so fucking bad I don't understand how any of you can defend him. 18 TD's and 19 picks this season... LOL god bless our souls for the next 6 or 7 years whatever the length of his contract is. LMFAO 120 million dollars.

There are only 2 ELITE QBs in our NFL ... Manning and Brady.

End of Story

[BR Vices]

I don't even know what to say...

[TheRavengers]

That was the most horrendous, god awful performance at home from this team.

[Popeye the sailor man]

I'm amaze at how the officials call those penalties against the Raven but not against the Patriots whom commit the same if not more penalties in the same game, I look at it this way, I happy the Ravens lost to a higher ranked team rather than a losing team, in reality the season's over so I would bench the starters and let the practice squad, 2nd and 3rd stringers and Tyrod Taylor play the final game, the Ravens can make all the excuses they want but Flacco and company really sucks, basically it's all Flacco, he's as dull as they come, no excuses, the offense looks stuff and constipated and can't open no holes besides being mostly lucky we've should have lost more games, the Defense did well all season but gave the Patriots the motivation to bury us tonight

[The Mom Gene]

That's my whole point about Flacco. We can complain about how many guys he don't have from last year and Brady continues to win with guys you never heard of before. He does it constantly. ELITE QBs takes care of business regardless of who is around him. 

Brady has his entire O-Line back this year...  Yeah, he's missing some of his weapons...  but nobody ever gets to Brady...  He is rarely sacked.  His pocket holds long enough for him to extend plays. He threw to Eddelman all day today...  tell me who else caught a ball from Brady today...  if they were there, there weren't many at all....   When our O-Line holds.... Flacco looks like a genius.... and we haven't seen that but one game this entire season...

 

And trust me...  the Patriots O-Line was holding the entire game... and I don't mean the pocket.

Baltimore 1975:

You couldn't of said it better my friend. Elite QB's make other around them better (no Boldin excuses). Flacco lack of perceived hunger just kills me!! And to think.....he has a plethora of wide receiver talent but always manages to under/overthrow one of them each week.

[baltimore1975]

Flacco's knee had nothing to do with him throwing in double coverage all day long. I can understand throwing the ball deep and hoping your receiver will out run the coverage, but the first interception was a bad decision, Jacoby had a guy underneath him and behind him. There were other times that he threw into double coverage on intermediate routes, he is starting to stare receivers down too much. Even in his press conference he admitted to wanting to get the ball in Jacoby's hands on the INT pass. Dude how about you read the defense and throw to the open receiver?

[rmcjacket23]

We are who we thought we were... average.

[redravenfan]

I don't get why ppl are still talking about playoffs this team is not going to win next week . its over its done .  I get some folks are homer but wow wake up and smell the coffee

[RavenManiac20]

How about the great offensive play calling by going Empty set shot gun 2 plays in a row on 3rd and 1 at the 4 and 4th and 1 at the 4 until we call a timeout to change the play. WOOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT PLAY CALLING JIM!!!

I don't see the same WR talent...

And trust me...  the Patriots O-Line was holding the entire game... and I don't mean the pocket.

In the beginning of the year the only difference in our O-Line was the center. You can convince me that one guy should make a difference. Plus today they were missing their left tackle. Next excuse? 

[TrooRavenFan]

$120 million??? This is not just this game Ravens Fans, but "an all season ordeal"

[Ragin'Raven]

Not a good game, at all. However, that was only one game, and there is another next Sunday. Anything can happen, and I think we will go into Cincinnati and win. When you fall in a hole, you can either sit there and rot or find a way out. I think the Ravens find a way out next week. This just means they can't win the division. Wildcard is still anyone's, including ours!
