Only in the fevered brain of a delusional Ravens homer is a receiver not in control of the ball when he's adjusting his grip on it. Regardless, even had the play been ruled a non-catch, the Patriots would have had first down at about the 18-inch line with 44 seconds remaining, due to your boy Scott coming completely unglued and taking the pair of unsportsmanlike penalties. Pretty safe bet that the Pats still would've walked away with seven. Open the windows when you cook your meth, dude.

The reviewed it and ignored the results anyway. The receiver did not have control of the ball. Also, on the previous 4th down, the ref threw the flag sooo early when he saw the ball thrown into the end zone, just to make sure they would get a new set of downs. They run more plays now in the NFL that don't count than those that do. Timeouts granted after plays start, freezing a kicker afyer he kicks it. Challenging plays after a subsequent play had been run as in the Giants/Bears game. Sad. At least the refs reviewed the non-catch this time, as opposed to last week when they didn’t bother.

The ball was rolling around in his arms. Billick is an idiot for calling the timeout. Sure they're good, but this was a luck win, period. The game was over twice, and the Ravens kept letting them replay it. Reminded me of USA - Russia in the Olympics. Boller's interception -- wha...? He didn’t make the catch.

Luck had nothing to do with it. A football game isnt a lottery. The Ravens played well, the Pats played better. It wasnt the Pats running around saying they were gonna steam roll these last two teams. I recall Brady saying that they were going to be challenging and they were. Also I really loathe ESPN's presentation. The audio is always like MUD and they put other video over the game. At one point they did a split screen showing Baseball highlights.

All game long the defense kept Baltimore in the game, but when the chips where down the coaching staff wouldn't trust them to make the play. Which it seems was the nail in their coffin as it completely destroyed them emotionally. It's been quite painful being a Ravens fan this year. I'm stuck in a Hotel room in Leominster, Mass and Surrounded by PATS fans. It's just as cold inside as it is outside right now. Oh, the horror!!
