I am getting real tired of losing to NE. Especially back-to-back heartbrake losses to them.

how in the world can you blame that on Harbaugh. that was a perfect play call, and a perfect pass. that should have been a first down.

And just once, in these statement games, I'd like to see the doing everything they can to win it, and in the end walking out smiling.

It was nice to be in with a chance at the end, but without dumb penalties, drops...the team probably could have won it.

This also goes to show that when QBs make legendary drives happen, they do it with other players matching that contribution.

And on the secondary - please. Its Tom Freaking Brady. He only threw for 250 yards. He's if not the best, the 2nd best QB in the NFL. There is no shame there. He has 2 outstanding WRs. Belichick is the best coach in the NFL.

Lots of things loom large about this game. The Gaither injury, the pass heavy approach, the bad pass picked at the end of the first half.

We lost a game to a great team that came down to a dropped pass. I'm as furiously pissed as anyone, but come on.

give this loss til Tuesday. Your head will clear and it will be easier to see that yes, we had a couple mistakes which killed us and we're STILL a contending team. We're STILL going to hold the lead in the AFC North...either tying Cincy if they win in OT or holding the lead if they lose.

We were a team made out of wood this week. Next week, we're going to come out the gate made of steel. This game will yield a LOT of fixes.

You cannot deny that our first rounf draft pick Clayton is now a liability.

JW, please put a gun in your mouth for ever suggesting his supreme ability.

Red Zone showing Browns/Bengals OT game - Golden Boy Sanchez just pick 6'd by Darren Sharper for 95 yard return

:word it also the difference between a good team and a great team. Ravens did not get it down this week. we'll see about the future.

This sucks right now but we weren't going 16-0 and we might as well lose a squeaker to a good team instead of getting embarrassed. I guess..

I would love to see Cincy/Cleveland end in a tie. 2 minutes to go. Absolutely hilarious.

**PARavensJeff** · 10-04-2009, 04:45 PM

Cincinnati on Cleveland 40 with 2 minutes left in OT - What is wrong w/ the FOX station here, they are showing Denver/Dallas instead of NY/NO.

There are many things that go into this loss.

The Carr fumble.

Joe's INT at the end of the half when we should have at least got 3.

Some questionable ref calls.

But when you fight and fight and fight through all of that, and you have a chance at the end, you have to make the easy plays.

Mason didn't come down with the ball, but you know, the defender was all over him.

Clayton was WIDE open, all he had to do was catch and fall down, and the ball ricochets off his chest.

The tough plays are tough...and there is a reason why we make a big deal when players make them.

You need to make the easy play though...and in a big moment, Clayton couldn't make an easy play.

And that is VERY upsetting and disappointing.
