vmax Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Yes this hurts to come so close to the Super Bowl and fall short. The media and nation put them down all week and they showed up. Nobody likes them, but guess what? We do. There were so many good plays today by the whole team. They came up 1 play short of a huge upset. Cundiffs kick would only have tied it with no guarantee of winning, although I loved the Ravens chances in OT.An Evans catch would have won it.Reality is the Patriots made 1 more play than the Ravens....but they were shitting their pants at the end. Huge for me was 3rd and 4 with 1:56 on the clock and the D gets that stop. Real proud of the D there. Quote
Guest BallTMore Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 The defense played well enough to win, especially against Brady.The offense played well enough to win. This one sucks, probably more than Pittsburgh last season, but we'll get over it. Quote
vmax Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 Webb gets a pick. He's just outstanding....he's got Reeds instincts and Rays fire. Jimmy Smith gets a pick..he's going to be a force...He played well today jamming at the line. And Steve Tyler sucked singing the National Anthemn. Quote
oldno82 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Max, I concur on all three points. I don't think we have to worry too much over the secondary anymore. We've got excellent corners. Quote
vmax Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 Yea...the secondary will be real tight. Pagano has another year with that D.Think Ray and Ed come back? Hey! We were Represent'n... Quote
varaven45 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Max and all, Helluva season. And to think I had us going 10-6 at best this year. Hopefully, Ozzie and Co stategize and figure out the right tweaks to get us to host the AFCCG. We win that game today if its at Bmore. This team has a great FO, Coach and strong nucleus of players. Just need to take it to the next level. Great season indeed ! Quote
oldno82 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I don't know if Ray and Ed will be back. I'm sure they'll take some time to really think it over. We might not know until the draft. Quote
Dunno Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 It makes no sense for the team to announce anything until after the draft regarding eventual retirements. I would be surprised if they, team and players, don't hold off any anouncements until after the draft. Quote
yagersports Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I'm really upset about the Evans drop. Cundiff, we'll replace him. Not much of an excuse, it was more or less a chip shot. It's too bad, cuz I liked Cundiff. Evans was supposed to be our guy that would perform in these situations. Positive note: Media can get off Joe. It shows that he played brutal defenses all year. Joe was awesome. Our CBs might be something very special next year. Time to get excited for the draft. If Ray does come back the staff needs to let him know that it will be a reduced capacity. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 New England Patriots Rush Yds Avg Lng TD FumL BenJarvus Green-Ellis(notes) 15 68 4.5 13 1 0 This kept the run game going for them. The Ravens had to keep playing the run and not sit back and wait for Brady. It is what I have been saying all season. Quote
