[News] Game Recap: Patriots 41, Ravens 7

[rmcjacket23]

Can't put single blame on anybody in this game. No phase of football played well today. That includes the defense.

[TheRavengers]

I can blame the refs for a few of those stupid calls, but that's only a factor in addition to Flacco throwing bad passes, getting intercepted 2x, running the ball on 4th down and NOT GETTING IT, the defense not holding up all the time, and so on..... Basically....everything sucked today.

[The Mom Gene]

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

Me either rmc... 

[RavenManiac20]

How about the genius John Harbaugh?!?!? Post game press conference reporter asked John a simple question... "Why kick the field goal in that situation in the 4th when you need 3 scores to win?" Genius John answers, "If we had made that field goal it would have cut it to a 2 score game with the 2 point conversions". 1 of 3 things could be made of that response. 1. John Harbaugh has a secret way to score 17 points in 2 possessions. God bless if he does enlighten us please we would all love to know how! 2. He is really bad at math. 3. He really has no fucking clue what he is doing when it comes to managing on the field situations INCLUDING the clock management which has cost us a couple times this season. Or simply all 3 could come into play.

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

They could have offered him less. Where was he going to go?

[TrooRavenFan]

In order for us to make the postseason requires more than just a tough win in Cincy. Also, Cincy will be contending for the #2 seed (1st rd bye) so we are in for a definite dog fight

[redravenfan]

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!

there is no way we win in cincy let alone grab the wildcard we are eliminated . we will still get a high draft pick and maybe we can get a good offensive weapon or fix the online. we will not finish with a win joe can not play and tyrod was a joke . I understand its disappointing but wow the reality is we lost and our season is done.

[The Mom Gene]

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? 

We lost our Center... Birk...  One of the main offensive callers...  By week 3 we had lost Osemele...  Then we lost McKinnie...  We have one decent guy left on our O'Line from last year.... Yanda... and then there's Oher...

 

Oher

Shipley

Gradkowski

Yanda

He looked like he was half there in his press conference. He probably was just grabbing for anything to say, sensical or not.

Harbs, did you do this week to prepare?

[Joe Flacco is #1]

Baltimore1975 ""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. """ thats down right hilarious Joe has a brace on and look funny throwing it all game long and you say he cant Win??? Look at the last 5 games yeesh do some home work.

[law215]

If Brady had these same group of Wrs, they would look dominant. It's the scheme. Scheme lack short, quick passing game and giving all the speed on the team an opportunity to make plays. Vertical passes are high reward but low probability. You have to set that up and no fears double moves or play action with a good run game or short passes.

[Jokerraven]

well looks like  must win god why can't we take the easy route . go ravens :) it isn't pretty but its us.

[TheRavengers]

How can our team be so inept that even the kicker misses a field goal?

[baltimore1975]

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

End of Story

When Rogers is healthy he is pretty darn good. This guy went like two seasons without a 100 yard game rusher. You have to be talented to win without a running game that long.

[Ragin'Raven]

We lost our Center... Birk...  One of the main offensive callers...  ... and then there's Oher...

Thou shalt not speak his name. That man gets penalties just walking down the street! They're going to rename the false start penalty the 'Oher' pretty soon..

[The Mom Gene]

It's called Fate, Karma, or just a plain ole bad day.... period.  nothing more

Well I must not be educated since I didn't do my homework. Please educate me and tell me what has Flacco and the offense done the last 5 games. As a matter a fact please tell me a highlight of the offense the entire year? 

[Ragin'Raven]

You knew it was coming. That was the way the game was for the Ravens today.

[TrooRavenFan]

I wouldn't see wide receiver talent either if I only used them for under thrown hail marry plays. Listen folks, JJ & T.Smith are speedsters who require the ball in stride. Flacco is notorious for under throwing balls (tonight was proof again) and I can assure you...speedsters hate going back to get balls (defensive recovery). Marlon Brown, T Smith and JJ are a pretty good trio. But hey, what's the point of having them when all I think is under thrown Home run plays, or bad throws (4th & 3 tonight was a good example.......throw to M Brown whose double covered when Pitta is as open as the sea)??????????

[The Mom Gene]

well looks like  must win god why can't we take the easy route . go ravens :) it isn't pretty but its us.

Whenever somebody says that, I remember Flacco standing on the sideline last season saying to Harbaugh... "Are we gonna win this one???  I mean, We never do it the easy way do we"?... and Harbaugh replied... "No, we don't".

[Shutdowns-R-us]

The absence of the check down left with Cam and Flacco's arrogance to control the game. 18/19 is what he showed us his control has to offer. I like him as our QB but he makes way too much money. Superbowl MVP could just has easily been Jacoby Jones.

[ravenwildman]

Well....that certainly sucked....not much else to say...but , win the last one and hope. GO RAVENS!

[raven5286]

Why would Flacco throw on 3rd and 1 when we are close to the goal line? It's a better idea to give it to Leach or Pierce to get that yard.

[Joe Flacco is #1]

Yo shut down r -u take a rain check its a team sport one bad game a bum knee and all you bandwagoners dish out garbage. go back to the steelers site .

[Bruce_Almty]

Rogers is talented, so is Eli, Nick Foles and Ryan Tannehill but they are not elite. And what is it that Rogers has won the last 2 or 3 years??? He had one year and won the SB...great; does that make every SB winner "ELITE"???

[ravens4life86]

Ron Winters better not ever get a Ravens game, ever ever again! He has factored into this Ravens Pats series too much, and I personally hold him responsible for atleast 10 points in the 1Q, the BS call on Jimmy and a couple other BS calls.
All night though everytime we had momentum he xalled a ticky tac call against us, and called none of those against the Pats.,, this CLOWN SHOULD BE FIRED

[TrooRavenFan]

John Harbaugh really begins to worry me....when asked why go for the FG with a score of 20-0.....his response was "(confidently) uhh, I wanted to make it a 2 score game"

[TheRavengers]

The worst part about it is Flacco is not a terrible QB by any means. Today, everyone just looked kinda "meh."

[GO_Ravens]

Hey I know that everyone is pissed but Flacoo had to get into a grove playing with that brace he was off target because of it and it showed we got behind and it was to late to come back against a good patriot team period.
