Of course the outcome wasn’t “necessary” thanks to the idiot Ravens taking idiot penalties (and deserved too). Had the call been reversed the Pats would have had the ball at the 2 with 44 seconds and a TO, the Ravens weren’t going to stop them.
Face reality, the Ravens screwed the pooch, they couldn’t finish the deal then they had a major meltdown on the Pats final possession and gave the game away. If you insist there’s a conspiracy check out Billick’s account because the problems came from that sideline not the zebras.
A simple first down or two in the 4th quarter on the part of the Ravens denies Brady the ball. If Boller doesn’t chuck the ball downfield on 3rd & long the game is over.

Face reality, the officials betting on the game who said "Tom Terrific the Wonderboy and the Team of Angels" would cover the spread lost their shirts. Some obnoxious bunch of punks largely from the "U" played smashmouth football and showed Wonder Coach that with a bit more talent, they could have had the greatest upset in NFL history when they were double digit underdogs. BTW, that guy with the ulcer in your office, bet he was out Tuesday because the Ravens cost him 2 "large" on the over/under in Vegas. Too bad. As for Stillers, they've got no chance. That was the closest the Pats come to losing all year.

PS. The game got the highest cable ratings in cable history. Think all those fans watching were pulling for the Pats? Think again...
