Oh well. That's the risk of taking a field goal. It makes me appreciate Adam Vinatieri. The pressure is too great even for Pro Bowl kickers. Remember Van Der Jagt's shank against the Steelers?
Why didn’t the Ravens take their timeout to get settled ?
Check out the TD replay. He caught it (TD) then got stripped. No review?
I don’t know. Maybe they thought Belichik was going to call a time-out to ice him. It was so close, I think everyone thought it was automatic. I figured it was borderline chokeable.
Not a fan of either team but that’s one crappy way to lose. As a Viking fan from 1998, I can certainly sympathize with the Ravens.
Oh yeah. Van Der Shank had his moment’s, too. Dirty name in Dallas. Well, congrats to the Pats and their fandom—again.
The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat.
Yeah. That and the missed field goal. The Ravens are going to have nightmares for years, like we do about the '07 Super Bowl catch by Tyre.
Yeah, what was up with that? He even took a step after the catch.
It's amazing how your entire career can be defined by one split-second play/decision...
I expect the Super Bowl to be just like this. Giants and Niners have great defenses too. Don't know if they're any tougher than Baltimore, though. Eli will tear our secondary apart. Brady will have to put up 35... Brady, "I sucked today..." Yeah. Two bad INTs. Not his best performance. Hope we get Gronk back. Two weeks rest should heal his ankle.
I thought I had missed something. I thought NE blocked it. Nope, pure choke.
Thank you.The DH and I thought we were going niuts. Incredible. The commentators just let it go.
Wow. And we are NOT Ravens fans. We had no dog inthis fight.
Sigh.
...And from the Eastern Shore of Virginia....AAAAHHHHHH....WTF JUST HAPENED?....had them where we wanted, low score, tight game, OT....Why wasn’t that a TD?......blown FG ....game over....WHAT???
I’m not a Ravens fan either or an expert on the rules for that matter, but it looked like a TD to me.
OK, I’m now watching the 9ers vs Giants...
Is this the thread for that? Go 9ers!
I haven’t found it if there is one, however, SF just scored.
Yeah, so let’s discuss the National Anthem. I was going to wait and see if there was a flyover, but when that babe started screechin’ I kinda left the room. I’m thinkin’ there was no flyover, anyway.
The. Ravens have to feel sick. So close, yet...
I tell you what, her screeching was a lot better than Steve Tyler’s!!! Talk about livin’ on the edge. Someone should get Jamie a gun. Crazy! But with Steve, it’s always the same old song and dance!
I think it's two feet down. Before he got the second foot down, the ball was knocked loose.
