  Ravens by 10+

  Yeah, I'm taking the Rats too. The Hoodie needs to suck up his pride and start using Welker more. This "I'm gonna prove a point and show you Julian Edelman is just as good" stuff isn't going to win them games.

  Patriots playing with heavy hearts could be a bit of a factor...either way.

  Ravens Smith lost his brother yesterday in a motorcycle accident. Heavy hearts for the Ravens as well.

  He told Harbaugh he still wants to play tonight. Harbaugh told him it was his call.

  I dislike both teams, but this has been an intense game. Win or lose, both are going to be forces. Outside of Houston, nobody else in the AFC looks in their league. Defensively, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Denver have issues. The Jets have major offensive issues.

  these refs are a fucking joke, both ways.
• Ironman92

  

  Always call it so they can't get a practice kick!!!
  
  The practice more than negates the potential nerves.

  Lol....horrible snap, just got it in

  NFL is worth 20 gazillion dollars and we landed on the moon 40+ years ago...but we can't make the FG posts high enough. Lol

  No. The rule book needs to be changed. And the need a camera that is pointed straight up on each goal post.

  It was good anyways

  Wow what a game. Quite an effort by Torrey Smith considering the circumstances.

  And a microchip in the football to detect when it passes the plane of the goal line (see Roethlisberger "TD":rolleyes: vs Seattle in the SB).

  Another week another choke...smh.

  Bad calls. Bad, bad, bad. With a nine point lead the Ravens had a 2nd and fourteen and they called hold on McCourty. Probably the biggest call of the game IMO and the most glaring mistake by the officials. That call probably lost the game for the Patriots.

  I always thought this myself. What the hell would be so hard about installing 2 chips or something on each side of the football, and then add sensors up and down the sidelines or something. It wouldn't be that expensive, and you can accurately spot the ball on every single play.
• bigdaddy2003

  

  There were bad calls on both teams. I believe there were two on McCourty. I thought one was valid and one was phantom. There was a call on Ngata that was just ridiculous. Brady took off running and Ngata was literally his shadow and then Brady slid and Ngata hit him. Those calls are horrible. What is a defender supposed to do if they are chasing a runner like that?
