Thank you Ravens

Maybe it is just me, but I'm not sure why someone would come to a thread, post multiple comments, and then say the thread sucks when someone challenges their comments.

I give credit to the Eagles and Ravens for coming into the game prepared and executing their game plan. The fact that the Ravens were playing at home and in weather conditions that were challenging to the passing game (obviously the Patriots strength) assisted in making the Patriots more one-dimensional, but give credit to the Raven defense for pressuring Tom Brady all night and dominating the line of scrimmage. I was more impressed with the Eagles however due to the fact that they traveled into New England and played a very competitive game when every expert and most fans were expecting a blowout similar to what the Patriots had done to everyone except the Colts up until that game.

"Every team could thank the Ravens for their defense schemes.......the Ravens have all but dominated the defense for the past 8 years or so..........and like you said their offense Sucks......but I sure we will find a tape out on the walk through of the Ravens Defense soon. "

Even if you found a tape of the Ravens D, I think it would be useless....their D is way too complex on the blitz schemes most of the time, and Ray Lewis and Ed Reed audible the linebackers and secondary enough that trying to figure out the signs could be useless.  Now, if we could get that offense clicking for once.....

Those throws were more like 50 yards, and they were not on a rope, they were floaters.

Any NFL QB or even college QB (even Chad Pennington) can launch a deep ball when they step into a throw like he was on those plays.

However, arm strength isn't just about how LONG you can throw the ball. Arm Strength is throwing from across the hashmarks on a 15-yard out and having the zip on the ball to get it there without it being picked off. Have you noticed that the Pats don't run that many of those plays? They run a lot of inside stuff, where Brady can sling it without much risk of it being picked off. It's very "west-coast" and conservative in its nature as a passing attack.

wow....

GO PATS!!!

I think we're all going to get a chance to see what we're hoping to see this season.

Patriots haters will hope to see how Brady wilts under the pressure that will be thrown at him this year, and Patriots fans hope to see how he overcomes the pressure and scorches the defense that brings the blitz all day.

By the end of the playoffs, we'll have an even better picture of what kind of QB Brady is. Let's all enjoy the show.

Hahahaha the Ball expert is telling a guy to go away because he isnt as big of an allstar on the Message boards.  It's a sad say in somebody's life when they have to resort to making fun of an online reputation. 

Balls expert, dont you feel kind of childish and or cheerleaderish when making fun of the more popular, better team all the time?  Brady will go down as one of the best QBs of all time.  The Patriots will go down as one of the best dynasties.

Thanks Baltimore for blowing a game you had in the bag so the Patriots could have the best regular season record of all time.  Thank you Giants for allowing Brady and Moss to have the TD records.  Where would we be without you guys? Haha... pathetic jealous losers.
