I can really only blame the Ravens, we had it and gave it away. Three quarters of some great football, and then they returned to the team I've been watching all year. Our O-line is not consistent enough. That was, in fact, one of their better performances.
Penalties kill us, Bart Scott lost control of himself, time out blunder took the wind out of the defense. Bollers interception, while I don't think it made a huge impact on the game itself, it took away any confidence Billick had in Boller and he got conservative. A mistake when playing the Pats.
I'm sorry TF, I would've loved for the Ravens to have been the team that put a smile on your face last night.
Having said that, I will say the officiating was, as usual, bad. Also, I wish the NFL would rescind the latest pass interference rule, it takes away from the game. Let these boys play and fight for the ball. I thought it was much more fun then.
As a reminder to the NFL, the quarterback IS in fact a football player, all these QB protection rules blow as well. If they can't take an a$$ whooping go play Ping Pong. Some of these QB's get all huffy and puffy if they get knocked down (Tom Brady, Peyton Manning), get up, dust yourself off and play football. I'm not against some protection rule but it's WAY out of hand.
Whewwwwww! I feel a little better now.
