Welker is a great player. Yea he missed a couple but he caught a lot more. 8 rec , 117 yards , 1 TD. If everyone played their position as well as him we'd have won.

The Ravens killed us with the run. Once they establish the run the D has to respect it and that opens up the field for passing. Wilfork was double teamed a lot. To me that means a linebacker should have been open to reek havock but I didn't see it happening.

Big disappointment is 0 points in the second half by the leagues leading offense. Overall horrible 3rd quarter for both the O and D and after getting behind our desperation Offense just kept losing the ball. We got beat....it happens.

Oh well , it wouldn't be any fun if we won every year.

i don't mind the loss as much as the crap the Bernard Pollard gets away with.... helmet to helmet .. no call and that certainly as no fumble...I hope some one from San Fran takes his Knee out..speaking of which.. they dont call Pollards cheap shot(s)... and San Fran got a new set of downs on a Phantom roughing the passer call... never saw a Falcon player even touch the QB...some one wanted a harbough bowl...it appears to me..

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Sorry Mike, but I didn't see it that way exactly. The first half the Ravens tried to use the run to set up the pass, it didn't work that well, second half they used the pass to set up their run and since the passing game got going , that opened up the run and they made our defense look bad. which it was

2 sacks was not enough, Flacco seemed like he had all day back there and was untouched and not pressured.

Very strange how our defense was good in the first half but sucked in the second half, while we handled their defense in the first half and they handled ours in the second.

Why didn't the refs call offensive INT on Baltimore when Denard clearly had position on the ball and was about to intercept it, looked like a blown call to me and the rest of the crowd there.

Brady made some poor decisions, like that time he could have ran for a first down but chickened out, also at the end of the half he ran but they did not call timeout right away
Welker did drop a couple balls that would have been key, one would have been a tough catch but he has made them before. Whatever happens with him, one way or another I have to believe the team will improve and if they are reasonably healthy should win the superbowl next year.

Pollard is definitely the anti-christ, I also hope someone from SF breaks him in 2.

I hope Ridley is OK

we'll gettum next year

time to make the plugs

Bernard Pollard did not hit Ridley....Ridley lowered his helmet into Pollard.....no call was necessary....Ridley knocked himself out.

You can argue with me all you want but you will be wrong....watch the replay and you will see Ridley ducks his head into Pollards helmet.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I agree with Larry
we would love him on our team
How would a player in the mold of Crabtree,Fitzgerald or Dez Bryant fit for us as a receiver?Welker is a possession guy but we have a lot of guys that fit that bill. It is obvious we have zero ability to stretch the field and that is why they played us so tight.
Bye Wes,Thanks and good luck

so what, doesn't matter, he was there when Wes tore his acl , he smoked Brady's knee, Gronk's ankle- he is a Patriot killer and deserves some payback
I know that is not a penalty, it's football, guys get hurt. it just seems
that that guy kills us. I don't like him.
I'm not arguing with you

if he were on our team, then the only time he'd have a chance at hurting any of our guys would be in practice

the pats can still get a big receiver
without Welker, we would have never been in the game sunday.
Edleman is not as durable as Wes
if he's gone, that will suck. Hall of fame receivers don't come along every year

I loved having Harrison, he wasn't dirty, just played hard like Ed Reed. they aren't dirty either, I just don't like him. I don't like the Ravens.

3 things, Talib going out, Welker drop in the first half(ball was thrown hard but just a touch far and went thru the hands), the non timeout call when the whole stadium called for it but the offense wasted 13-14 seconds trying to lineup for a play I guess they had to have the 3 points but must have been worried about a sack if a play never made it to an incomplete or a touchdown
Ravens turned the game right then in my opinion.

Come on Slip,
Harrison wasn't a dirty player.
He was the dirtiest player of his time by far, both with the Pats and even more so with the Chargers.
And he's got the fines to go with it.
Ronnie Lott was by far the hardest hitting guy of a secondary of his time also but he always played within the rules and very rarely got fined.
