BGE with back to back bruising runs to start the drive, Woodhead is just not as good.

That was an ugly facemask pull. You can really hurt someone doing that.

I think you take the points when you're on the road in the playoffs. But at the same time, you can't beat the Patriots by kicking FGs. Their offense made that drive look way too easy.

The Patriots have a running game!

Well pats TD pretty much wins them the game. They can drive for TDs. Flacco can't. I sincerely hope, regardless of outcome, this is the last season for Joe Flacco and Cam Cameron in Baltimore.

Another 3rd and short for Cam Cameron, what boneheaded play is he going to call now?

[TylerDurden]

Looks like a game now gents.

[ChadFL]

Very nice TD throw by Flacco.

TD RAVENS!!!!!!!

But now Pats get the ball and then get it again in the second half.....

BTW, today is Ray Rice's 25th birthday! HAPPY B-DAY RAY!!!!!

[Moviefan1203]

Flacco is in a nice rhythm...

[ran94]

Offense for the Ravens starting to click. Of course the same can be said for the Patriots. Defense for both teams not looking good.

Only want to see one Harbaugh in the Superbowl.

That last Ravens drive made you two look pretty foolish, so let's all shut the hell up with the Flacco talk eh?

That drive is a very reason there's indecision to replace him. Some drive (like that one) he looked great and others (like how he started the game) make me wonder if its the same damn person. And he's been like that for 4 years lol.

Ravens D though has gotta stop Ellis otherwise this could get out of hand quickly.

[Batman1980]

Hernandez and Gronkowski are stupid athletic and the short passing game to them makes it so hard to pressure Brady consistently, even the Ravens' vaunted defense is having trouble today.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. He is the most inconsistent QB around. The Ravens need consistency under center. Either as a Dilfer (hand it off all the time) or a dink and dunker (never throwing deep) or an elite (making all the throws all the time) opening up the field for Ray Rice.

EDIT@Wolvie: That's because Hernandez and Gronk are RB's and WR's respectively. Thery are just called TE's so the PAts can have more players on the field at any position.

Nice throw by Flacco on 3rd down, will they punt or go for it? Punt, I guess.

How bout the pats taking 2 knees with timeouts to end the half........

[iam1bearcat]

...Odd way to end the half, especially with Baltimore not using timeouts. I mean, anything can happen - look at the Giants hail mary last week!

Anyways, while not as bad, the Pats are playing a bit like the Packers did last week - quite a few dropped passes / missed open receivers. Could come back to hurt them. Of course they aren't down by 10 at half time but still.

QB Ratings at halftime:

Tom Brady - 58.7
Joe Flacco - 122.4

I don't see why they have these stats. There are 4 quarters in football.
