vmax Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ok....there's 2:14 left on the clock in the 4th quarter. Ravens down by 4. It's 4th and 3 at the Ravens 42.Joe hits Daniels for 17 yards to the NE 41. 2 minute warning. How many of you thought a miracle finish was about to happen and the Ravens were about to win this game?

varaven45 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yep, until threw the ill advised pass to Torrey. Wished we had the 2:00 over and tried to methodically move the ball from the 36, rather than going for it there. And to Torrey of all guys. He gives up on the ball too quick. Smith Sr. would have at least knocked the ball loose. Even had we scored, Brady would have had nearly 2:00 to score. Hindsight is 20-20 right ?

dapetes Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If only Joe was playing against our defensive back field. I think Joe outplayed Brady. Our D backfield made it easy for Brady. Brady should take them all out for dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he could have actually gone for the ball, not the man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I thought we would run and short pass our way down the field and have to score from short with 15 or so seconds left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Oh I did, and for the life of me I don't understand why the bomb was even in the play sequence, say torrey did catch it, did we want to give Brady back the ball with almost 2 minutes left?

oldno82 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Torrey looked like he slowed down to break it up rather than continuing to run and fight for the ball. He disappointed me on that play. But I also agree that it wasn't the right play to call with how we'd been moving with intermediate and short passes on that drive before then. The Ravens played up to their potential but the secondary just had too many freaking injuries this year. A real valiant effort, I thought, and I'm proud of the team.

TBird Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I sure expected a win til the very last play. Plenty of time but Joe over threwTorrey who was open It still took a trick play and a lot of deception and cheating for NE to win ona play the NFL had never seen before - a quick snap on a substitution before the REFs could inform Ravens of the substitution. Thats why we call him Bellicheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 After last nights game, I feel like I did after watching the Miami vs San Diego playoff game in 1984, it was an instant classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I was certain they would come back after Joe hits Owen for the 1st down. All credit to the safety who got over there in time. He was lined up inside the hash as a single high. The pass was an inch or so too far inside, but still should have been caught or had a better play on the ball been done. In any event, two 14 point leads blown, yes, I think it is clear the defense is the issue, not the offense. All in all a great game, a great season.

cravnravn Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 But why even take a shot down field with 1:40 still on the clock? Just think how we would feel if Torrey made the catch, then Tammy drives the length of the field for the game winner. Bad play call on whomevers part, bad clock management.

The Ravens are at the 41. Plenty of time and they could run and throw.Then again...what got them to the 41? A 4th and 3 conversion...kind of desperate because they couldn't move the chains....so I think Joe wanted to strike and to a TD any time, any way he could. If it's there going conservative and trying to run clock might not be such a good thing.So he took the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc.

I just meant, he went hard at the player as he caught it. Just thought he made the wrong choice as to where to put his energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 So now we have a "Good Torrey/Bad Torrey". He has made so many fantastic, game winning plays. His presence forces defenses to play the Ravens honest...but he's not the complete package. He is one outstanding individual off the field and I really like him. I want him back...at Ozzies right price. Torrey will find it hard to get a lot of high dollar interest elsewhere because his game and skill set requires a QB who can throw deep accurately. Few of those kinds of QB's in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Not to pile on Torrey, but from my vantage point I don't think he had a good game run blocking at all. Forsett had lots of yardage left on that field because Torrey failed to block his guy on a few plays. I thought all the other receivers gave a great effort run blocking. What do I know. Mike Wallace got $60M from the Dolphins to be a pure deep threat (Wallace said he turned down $75M from the Vikings too). Torrey has every right to ask for that kind of money, that's what the market dictates. I want Torrey back. He's one of those players that goes beyond the football field for the organization. He's wildly popular, I think Ozzie finds a way. I also think Torrey's best football is still ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado700 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Torrey had a bad day, letting his defenders get into his head. Two personal fouls and a half hearted effort to catch the ball in the end zone. A great effort, at the least, ensures that no one catches that ball. Not a good day for Torrey.
