Baltimore has an excellent team this year. I think they are serious SB contenders. I have not seen SD play this year, but I believe this Ravens team can beat the Jets, and anyone on the NFC. They can beat the Colts. Despite the loss on that 4 and 2 game, NE showed everyone how to neutralize Clark. Add to that how well this team can rush the QB, I think they can rattle Peyton as efectively as NE did earlier this decade.
Congrats Ravens..

I think we had forgotten, in are natural Pat confidence, just how angry this team was after their loss here earlier in the season, and just how good a team they are. -

NE....not really sure how good the Ravens are. Their d is still decent, Rice is a baller, and Flacco is inconsistent - but has potential.
They certainly beat us up tho - but, I think it's because this year's team really isn't that good - it's pretty middling. -

Hey the best team won today. I just wish the Pats looked better in this loss, it's never fun to watch your team lose, but to lose like this hurts even more. -

The Ravens are a step above mediocre. They lost to the Bengals twice, the Steelers late in the year when they thought they had to win. The defense is nowhere as good as last year. They ranked #6 in the standings and got in on a tie-breaker. And we are saying that we just faced a superior opponent?????? -

kj, I am still on the fence about that. After today, it is clear the Pats would not have gone far into the playoffs if they managed to win today. Losing today as badly as they did was akin to simply ripping off the bandaid. -

I don't know why but I'm not concerned with being classy and congratulating the Ravens. The Ravens are trash talking SSCUMMMBags that have done nothing but break our nuts over the years even when we beat them.
I wish every team left in the AFC Could lose next week. That would make my Playoff experience complete. -

Amen to that. To H-E double hockey stick with the Baltimore Ravens. Wow, congrats to beating a team devestated by injuries. Yeah, they will beat the Ponies. Oh wait a minute...no they won't. -

Get over it. You had one key guy out. We were missing our top two cornerbacks and our top special teams guy. I love when you make excuses for getting your butts kicked... Just admit it, the better team won today. Don't come back about us crying after week 4, because it was clear to everyone outside of Mass. that the Refs love affair for Cry-Brady and Co. won them that game. -

In fairness I had Baltimore as an 11.3-4.7 strength team. On top of this, most of the team got healthy pretty fast from, say, two weeks ago. Credit the trainer.
As for what they did right, Baltimore did a tremendous job of watching videotape, stealing signals and knowing exactly what play was coming next. Nobody else did this. Credit to the coaching staff and players. Moreover, Baltimore got their licks in early, before the Patriots changed everything up on them. The fact that the defense was missing a couple of cornerbacks never really showed.
Also, their tiny running back who can hide behind the linemen and change directions fast is precisely set up for beating New England's heavy defensive line, which is better suited for stopping the Jerome Bettis types.
Baltimore got lucky bounces too sometimes, but they clearly won the game. -

Actually, the Ravens players Ed Reed, Ray Lewis have said a lot a good things about the Pats today. It's too bad some sore loser pansies can't admit it when our team gets whupped. Congrats to the Ravens and their fans. Beat Indy!
