Grantland making the case the ravens will regain the throne in the toughest division

Down by 14...

Let's go with Edelman.

That says it all.

Yes it does, it says the Pats outcoached the opposing staff, and the Pats 11 players on the field out executed the opposing 11 players.

I think it is more or less a 3 way toss up as to who will win the division.

I'm curious to see how the Ravens offense will be affected by the loss of Torrey Smith. While I do think that a player can count on DPI calls, his 11 DPI calls against him was a LOT of undocumented yardage.

nobody knew they had lost confidence in Brady except them. Well done they should have tried that play in January 2013 instead of getting beaten by 15.

They learned their lesson. Well played.

Not sure what difference it makes if u are draped on a wr if the refs care if it's Torrey or not?

I hear Perriman is faster then Torrey maybe he will get more DPI's?

My point was that Smith had an absurdly high number of DPI calls. Not only is it not reasonable to expect Perriman to get the same number of calls, it would not be reasonable to expect Smith to get 11 calls again either.

i bet most of those calls were for the deep ball is it such a stretch to assume that a cb or safety had allowed Smith (presumably bc of his speed) to get behind him then Flacco throws one up a country mile and all they could do is a DPI?

Kind of like Champ Bailey should have done to Jacoby Jones against Denver?

I think it is a stretch to believe that it will happen nearly twice as frequently with those 2 than any other QB/WR pair in the league(Jordy Nelson was a distant 2nd with 6).

Historically speaking, relying on drawing penalties in the NFL is not a great plan.

I would be willing to bet Jordy drew as many flags (he just caught the ball anyway). Torrey never completed the catch. He had the mentality that once he drew the penalty, his job was done. I can remember at least 3 plays were Steve Smith drew the flag and completed the play anyway. I hoped some of that would rub off on Torrey, but...

Ravens fans suggesting the Patriots only call plays the Ravens understand. That's choice!!!!!

Jeremy Hill says hi. Every season the Bengals are ignored. Every year they make the playoffs.....and that's it. Fuck me.

Any team switching to the NFC North would do them no favors this year. The NFCN crown is already claimed.

It's Grantland, not very high on the list of go to sites.

Try CHFF. They aren't into full season mode yet, so you will have to wait a bit, but here is their Ravens page.

I use CHFF but like most I pick through about 10 sites.

I find Grantland has a good understanding of the Ravens so I use them to educate NE fans.

Grantland is a garbage site as a whole, I put little time even considering them.

I finally read the article. What a load of crap via pretzel twisting logic.
