Monday Night Football: Pats vs Ravens

[Hank Kingsley]

Staunch defense, on song offense.

Just too bad they had the 2 special teams mistakes.

Other than that NE looked Super Bowl bound to me.

The defense was fearsome most of the night I thought.

The multiple running backs, plus Hogan and Mitchell seemed to work very well and Bennett had a good game too.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

welp theres your answer!

PATRIOTS WIN!!!!!

BARELY

Final score flattering to Baltimore. They were never in the game of their own volition.

The final score is what it was. It's not like the Ravens scored a garbage time TD. People can't call the mistakes by the Pats "gifts" without calling the mistakes by the Ravens the same.

Better team won. Good game.

Spin it how you will....

I thought it was a great showing by the Patriots. Except for those two terrible turnovers, it was complete dominance. Even with a Brady INT.

The defense played well, aggressive, smart and confused the hell out of Flacco who can be a very good QB.

The offense took on the Raven D which is very good and while it wasn't easy, dominated them too.

Next test. Denver in Denver.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion (no matter how incorrect it is).

This is not a huge accomplishment.

And versa vice.....

I know what game I saw last night. The tale of 2 turnovers..... In fact you got 3 and still got pummelled....

Flacco has had his moments, particularly against the Patriots.. He can be good.

Flacco can be "good" when he doesn't have to think. He was horrendous last night.

He did look thoroughly confused.

 

[Money]

He did look thoroughly confused.

One read (if we're lucky) and then check down. Horribly inaccurate. His mechanics have become a nightmare ever since his injury. He was throwing off his back foot with nobody around him last night.

All this and we continue to let him throw the ball 50+ times a game. It's baffling and beyond frustrating.

 

[TP76]

Flacco's cap hit $23mil
Brady's cap hit $14mil

ROI doesn't look good with Flacco - he's really going to have to elevate his game to play to the level of that contract

Pats win.. Next up Denver. I was a little worried about Baltimore, now im not.. I think NE just played their toughest opponent tonight.. We have to kill the Broncs next week

'Kill the Broncs' at Mile High? I wish. I have a feeling Pats will make Siemian look like John Elway. (cue the horse face jokes)

 

[Rex Racer]

The Patriots were really up for this game and it showed. I think they'll show the same intensity against Denver.

Just keep Cyrus Jones off the kick/punt returns

Keep him off the plane to Denver.

At 23-20, I definitely felt the Ravens were in it.

Then Brady hooked up with Hogan and I was bitching that they left 6 minutes on the clock. Life as a Pats fan.

I'm sure like most fans I was throughly pissed that it looked like the Patriots were going to lose a game they were dominating so well with 2 incredible turnovers.

But Brady to Hogan saved the day and all was right with the world.

In it by default, through nothing they did......

And then just like that... Kaput.....

Switch QBs and the Ravens win that game by at least 14 points.
