Playoffs 2012

counterlock

I love the audible out of the punt. Mind games galore with BB

davyjose

Patriots are worse than Samuels. Tried to trick the Ravens.

Masked Man

I think its poor much better to have saved it for the second half imo.

Why not call that play in the 3rd qtr? Having timeouts in the first half isn't as big of a deal then having full timeouts in the second half.

Why'd the Saints kick an onside against the Colts 3 years ago? If it works you're a genius. Burned a timeout too.

Very different. No CBS says they just did it to catch the Ravens to burn a time out. But burning TOs are much more crucial in the second half.

I was thinking that too, but maybe in the small chance the Ravens dont call a TO in that scenario, then they may have actually gone for the 1st down. Could be much too risky in the 3rd?

If you get the offside you get first down. If you don't snap it, its only 5 yards on the punt.

Is there a good stream for this game?

davyjose

They have ads for the Super Bowl ads. Hilarious.

It's more unexpected at the start of the game. Sets the tone for the game, gets the Ravens thinking about trickery at the start AND burns a timeout. Great call.

Used to be night porter in there

Anybody else getting the ad at the bottom of the page about bananas being bad for you?

I seem to be the only person who thinks that was an awful play-call from Payton.

First place i checked. Closed, didnt seem to be any life in the place on closer inspection.

I wish! Changed the game.

Lloyd's catches are so, so pretty.

Imo mcdaniels outsmarted himself with that quick run on 3rd down

Kyle Love picked up a knock, questionalbe to return...

Not sure if its still done in the US but they used have a special show the night before the Super Bowl showing and talking about the previous years ads with a poll to pick the most popular and talking about the best of all time

Ha ha, wouldn't surprise me.

Talib, what a pickup he's been.

Red Crow

Ouch that's his hamstring

Oh not saying it didn't. That's the point though, people are so results orientated, if it doesn't work people call it the worst call ever.

But considering the situation of the game and the average conversion rate of onside kicks which is around 25% afaik and the fact that if it fails you've given manning outstanding field position. I think it was a totally needless risk.

spiralism

Baltimore would want to pull the finger out very quick here. Guess this is what happens when they play a team who isnt hopelessly inept against the deep pass.

DDC1990

Féck sake. Tampa gave this guy up for a 6th round pick.

Tampa the worst pass D, threw away a ProBowl level CB for nothing

My sky box decided to give up for the last 10 minutes. Who got injured.

spiralism

Talib doesnt come back and it's a worry. Chances are its a ten point margin when Baltimore take the field again anyways but losing a top CB against a team that lives and dies by the deep ball is a big loss. That's providing Flacco doesn't overthrow whoever's there.

Talib looks to have a tight hammy. Pulled up after breaking up a pass on third down.

What's Lewis meant to do when Hernandez lowers his head into the hit?

The Front Door would but you'd have to go at 2.30, before the finish probably

I argued this earlier in the season. It's BS.

Utopia Parkway

Ravens must be very happy to be only 3-0 down because they have done absolutely nothing offensively so far but it's still very close.

TO.

Hit him hard then tell him while he is picking himself up to raise his head in future and it wont hurt as much.

spiralism

Bad Flacco looks like he's out there today.

HigginsJ

2 bad misses by Ravens

davyjose

Flacco isn't making those big plays like he was against Indy and Denver. Knew it.

Utopia Parkway

Kyle Arrington in the game for the Pats. Oh boy.

JaMarcus Hustle

Wes is getting in some nice returns today. We really should be getting more points on the board, its frustrating.

Red Crow

That's poor from the Ravens. They won't get away with this all day. Patriots should be up by more.

counterlock

My girlfriend reacted faster than Dixon on that pass.

TO.

davyjose wrote: »

This one is a tough one as sometimes there is no clear line. Way I look at it both players are responsible for the safety of each other. If an Offensive player keeps lowering his head he can damage himself and the Defensive player. Both of them should be looking to prevent a bad hit. This is why the NFL should be looking at every bad hit case by case properly and not just flinging out fines left right and centre.

Masked Man

Neither team should be happy here. Pats should be able to pick up their offence and we're leading so I won't complain.

davyjose

How was that not picked?
