It's time to bump and bump
I think the Ravens should adopt the philosophy of New England coach Bill Belichick. It's apparent that officials allow a lot of contract in the post season games, and the Patriots cornerbacks mugged the Ravens and Giants receivers in their past two playoff games.
Belichick would rather take a penalty instead of giving up a big play, and New England almost pulled off another Super Bowl victory Sunday with one of the worst secondary's in the NFL.
If I were Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, I'd turn cornerbacks Jimmy Smith, Cary Williams and Lardarius Webb loose in the playoffs.

Yea...but they throw flags on the Ravens.

It was a different set of rules or interpretation in the playoffs because there was a ton of mugging and contact and no flags flying.

I have no data for this but it just seems from what I've seen that the Pats get favorable treatment from the league on some issues.

It seems to be getting a little better. Daring to actually touch Brady is no longer an automatic roughing the passer flag. I thought the Pats D did get away with some fairly obvious fouls in the SB though, stuff that would be guaranteed PI or personal fouls against the Ravens.
