They have GOT to get their run defense together or Pittsburgh will eat them up next week.

I don't think I saw a tackle in the 3rd qtr

Their tackling has been pretty bad in a few games....they either don't get their guy wrapped up or they just miss him altogether!!

next 3 games 1 pm ... getting to bed at midnight and up at 4 am has been killing me .. that was another nail biter ,,. That Faulk goes thru that defense like a stick of butter.. always amazes me . If Maroney can just break free he can run . Seems they were really mauling our recievers . game was brutal .. maybe they needed a war ,,.

I thought Phil Simms was the worst commentator (let alone Pats hater) on the air but Tony "Cornholer" takes the cake. He's a fountain of stupid, uninformed, meaningless blather and inane attempts at humor. What happened to MNF? Howard must be spinnin' like a top in his grave!! They call the other guy JAWS because his never stop flappin', take a breath once in a while man, will ya!?! Oh yeah, good win too, Billick was ready to hang himself with his own headset cord!!!!

Defensive coordinater called the TO I think, not Billick

Rodney stepped up big time in the fourth quarter

Ravens and especially Ray Lewis = Classless, it was a gift, but they got what they deserved in the end. Wouldn't be surprised if that is the end of Billick in Baltimore, he lost the team a while ago

this was the ravens SB, both our O and D lines were almost invisible, as well as secondary. maroney is something- when and if he gets the ball past the line of scrimage. it nice to be both good and lucky- especially when one absent....12-0!

One thing for sure, bad calls, questionable catches & penalties and most other pertinent factors in meaningful games won't be popping up on Oakland's radar screen in the forseeable future.

The pass interference on Welker...very Questionable
The Timeout called....very UN-Timely
The interception Boller threw....very Stupid
The 2 Unsportsmanlike penalties at the end....even stupider
and Gaffney had the ball and was T#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g it under the other arm....I'm pretty sure you're familiar with what a Tuck looks like.

The Ravens pulled a Chargers and started celebrating before the game was over. Like Bill said - 60 minutes......60 minutes

My wife was so pissed she went to bed right after the half, spewing "I'm not goning watch this ****..... Me I found a good use for the time outs... I ran down to the basement and applied epoxy to a plug on each time out....or bad play.

I can not stand the ESPN color guys, all of them need to take a sleeping pill.....

I think the "bad calls" went both ways.... I'm pretty sure hitting a reciever and removing his helmet BEFORE the ball is even thrown is a penalty.... but I dont care about the calls as long as they are equaly bad for both teams...If Peyton was throwing the ball how many pass interferances would have been called? In the end, the Ravens were their own worst enemy.....

the D needs to step up.... if they play that poorly next week,they will lose by 30!

Thankfully the games go back to a human hour... I feel like I was fishing all night..... I was just jacked up on adrenalin instead of cafine!

He was on him the whole way in the end zone, it could have been interference too, one way or the other they made the call after going 3 quarters with not calling it.

Gafney DID have the ball no question, there was absolutely no bobble at all. TD


Next up Pittsburgh
the pats better work on their tackling

It kind of reminded me of the David Paten catch a few years back as he lay knocked out on the side line..still in bounds.

I fell asleep woke up with 6 minutes on the clock, went to bed. I'm a moron. I missed the best part of the best game all season.

Unreal game.

Do not go to Hannaford's in Easton today or tomorrow I usually see Vrabel there on his day off day. I don't want to even say hello to him. He must be really mad the way the manhandled the LB's.

I thought Kraft was losing it with the way he was holding the wall.

Monday Night Football commentary is a joke. They just don't shut up.

kraft was drunk, as usual. funny to see him pressed up against the glass.

ravens stuffed it down our throats with the rushing yards. fortunately they lost their cool at the end.
