Me neither, but there is an issue with in-game adjustments. Did we get a single first down in the 4th quarter? The offense at times seems unable to make even the slightest adjustments (like the 4th quarter) unless its half time.

That's one thing that has to change for next season.

I'm not gonna blame the loss on Billick, that's just ridiculous, but how good can a coach be that allows a team to be this undisciplined? It's unreal

Also, screw Brady and screw Belichik. Right buncha wankers

Go Steelers I guess :ralph: :ralph:

In as much as it's the defense that seems to lose their composure the most I lay a lot of the discipline issues at Rex Ryan's feet.
Regardless, IMO it was the most complete game the Ravens have put together all season; it's just to bad they couldn't keep it together awhile longer and get a win out of the effort.:34853_waah:

I think I might actually root for the Steelers to beat these assholes next week. :ralph: :grbac:

Think I'd rather have lost 58-0 then to have it end this way.

Lack of discipline + numerous penalties = blame goes to the coach

I ain't blaming only the defense. The offense threw an INT when we were in scoring position. Also after dominating them on the ground all night, we couldn't get ONE LAST first down to salt away the game.

Fuck the referees!!

I still don't know why Rex Ryan called that timeout? That would have been the game.........

He called it pre-snap! He obviously saw something he didn't like in the offence.

If they convert that and it's called back for the timeout he looks like a genius.

Hindsight is twenty:twenty.

So true. The penalties have no excuse. Numerous penalties means bad coaching.

how can any of you blame this loss on anyone other than the Refs.

Record, Refs-2 teams - 0

The Refs have now won a Super Bowl against the Seahawks and kept a bullshit team undefeated... Way to go...

I can't help but think that HEAP's presence makes a big difference in the 4th Quarter...:(

I agree with the above 100%. If you go back to the last two possesions for the Raven's in the 4th quarter (not counting the very last one with the Hail Mary), they could have used Heap.

Especially on that 3rd and 2. We could use him back. He makes a big difference. Especially with Wilcox on the other side.
