Flacco freezes up when he has pressure thats why I said that. Maybe I should have said something random that has nothing to do with game like someone else does?

You've got to go for that when you're that deep in the Patriots territory.

You aren't going to beat the Patriots with field goals, and this Ravens offense is challeneged to put points on the board under the best of circumstances.

You take the points when your running game hadn't been worth a nickel and it's still early.

Agree 100%. You are the road against a high scoring offense.

If it is FG game like the Ravens tried to make it, they will lose as they can't keep up with as many drives into scoring territory as NE will be able to do. So they must get TDs when they get into scoring territory. I think Harbaugh made a strategical mistake not going for the TD!

You can tell I wasn't keeping up reading the posts before I wrote this!

He does freeze up for sure.....but he also has his games (as does Eli) where his instincts seem very good and he keeps plays alive.....like many feel Roethlisberger is known for.

Yeah...Harbaugh got caught up in his defense holding momentum....but didn't consider what Belichick and Brady would have ready on offense.

Gotta have those full proof plays to get 2 feet.

Baltimore must get a TD and then hold the Pats before half....then come out 2nd half and score.

How about a tipped pick 6 for the Ravens?

This kind of looks like the Bronco game from last week.

Brady had that bad pick, but otherwise seems to be able to do anything he wants out there right now.

Amazing play but just OB....Ravens hold to FG....with 3 minutes to match it....can't give the ball back before the half!

Maybe I am seeing things but it looked like his left foot was down as he caught it....then the right was in

Was close to being the last foot down in bounds being the 2nd foot down in bounds!

How was that not holding on the Raven OLinemen on #95 on that long pass? Looked pretty obvious.

I think the Ravens are slightly happier with were they are compared to NE.

Baltimore must come out with great plays because you know NE will.

IF Baltimore can get to 24 and force one more turnover
