Losing Talib was huge in this game. He ties the whole Patriots secondary together. Without him they look like last year's Patriots secondary.

Without the turnovers!
I haven't heard Gregory's name once today! Cole on Boldin ffs!

No way he'd be independently cleared to go back in after that!

Same as the RG3 situation in all likelihood, both player and coach don't want him to be ruled out so he says he's ok and the coach 'takes his word for it'.

With what we know about concussions now it's sickening to see. We need to have independent medical officials that can force a check-up on players that take hits like that.

Lads, this isnt over yet.

Boldin is some bloody player.

Considering that he has no real pace anymore he is unreal

Brady's rarely this far behind with 10 mins to go. Will be interesting.

But we've experienced what he's like when he needs to step it up enough times to know it's possible!

Pollard's record of injuring Patriots is bizarre. He's done it with 3 different teams as well. Remarkable.

It's not even close to being over.

That could well be game for the Ravens.

Not with Tom Brady. 2 score game.

Still all to play for imo but Brady will have to be near perfect from here on out.

Did Ridley go back into the game after the hit. He is now done they kitted him down.

I'm guessing Greg Williams is happy Pollard never played for the Saints! That would have cost him a lot!!

Just checked it there, thought they had to have independent neurologists at games, turns out it hasn't come in yet!

I really wish they'd stop showing the hit.

Paully,

Your killing us here. Stop with the jinxes already.

One of the colleges in America (possibly Texas A&M) has developed a technology that can be fitted to helmets that can flag strength of a hit. They say it would be possible to use it to flag if a player has suffered a certain level of impact and need to be removed from the game

You're in field goal range already within about 30 seconds.

Syferus

Now they take him out? Why the hell can't they just do this from the beginning and not be sent obviously concussed players back on to the field with a bunch of people trained to hit them?

EDIT: the commentators clearly said Ridley was going to come back in before they said he was out. There's clearly been a mis-communicatoon or the Patriots reconsidered their original decision.

davyjose

Serious drop.

kmart6

Fair play to Brady for the post season passing yards record!

Masked Man

Was he ever back on the field?

spiralism

Big play here.

kmart6

Nope!

TO.

I didn't see he come back on. Or did I miss something. He was sitting on the bench with no helmet on and next he was in the locker room.

kmart6

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

davyjose

I think that's it.

spiralism

Poor. Brady could have run for it.

matthew8

Super defense by the Ravens. I love seeing Haloti Ngata closing on people in space. He is such a mover for such a big guy.

kryogen

Brady really has no running ability whatsoever

Vereens terrible drop should put a cork in it

davyjose

Ray Rice is now going to dine on the clock. This is as good as over.

Need to eat clock here.

He'd have been hit if he'd gone for it. And hit hard.

He wouldn't have made it. He runs like an 80 year old man.

kmart6

Ngata would have crushed him before he got there guys!!

Brady looks like he is a fan of horizontal jogging.

Heard the NFLPA head in an interview (on ESPN First Take ) say they want independent neurologists but the owners won't accept it. Sickening stance to take and more people need to stand up and shame them into accepting it because as long as this is left in players' and coaches' hands you're going to see some very stupid things happening.

matthew8

Ugh why call 2 passes.

davyjose

The worst thing about this is how often over the next 2 weeks the phrase Harbaugh Bowl is used. As if the biggest game in American sports is some family get together. It'll bug me.

spiralism

Oh look you guys, Cam Cameron is back!

Paully D

Couldn't have been a worse drive there, **** off.

Paully D

Jason ****ing Garrett clock management there. Clowns.

kmart6

Well that was a disaster of a 'drive'...so lets go with series!

taidghbaby

What the jasus were the ravens doing there!

The worst thing is gonna be them being asked question after question about growing up together and the general prying into their personal lives.

Chucky the tree

Flacco snpping the ball with 10 seconds on the playclock on first down was a very poor decision.

kmart6

Sorry but had to laugh at this, Robert Mathis on twitter:

Pollard is a problem for N.E....wouldnt surprise me if they acquired him next year or something

counterlock

Good stop, nice to see Flacco get touched too for a change

Amirani

Terrible play calling there.

Paully D

Absolutely nailed on that will come back to haunt us, nailed ****ing on.
