I agree, if they think this is good they are going to be in for a surprise when they meet somebody that can play a game without choking at the end.

Personally if GB isn't playing at the moment my favorite team is whoever is playing the Patriots... I get so sick of hearing how wonderful they are.

Next week may be their downfall - you can NEVER rule out the Squealers. If they get past them, they have it made till the very last game - you can't rule out the Giants either. The Jets and Fins are both jokes this year.

Nah, the same referee crew is doing the game.

The Ravens played one hell of a game. There were holes in the Pats defense that need to be fixed if they want to stay undefeated. The last 2 games showed their weaknesses for every team to exploit now. Great comeback.

Your kidding right? As a fan, what the PATRIOTS have accomplished to date is nothing more than amazing! There is not a person here that only dreamed that their respective NFL team has such an accomplishment to date!
I will take every win, these past two experiences in wich they persevered sucessfully will only make them stronger & better! I will not be unhappy even if they do not have a "Perfect" season! It's all about making it to the Big Dance! You people are way too demanding for the talent that YOUR teams posess.........!!!..................

the patriots got lucky. the time out on 4th down saved them. o yeh, gaffney did not have control of that ball on the "touchdown" pass. it was a good game tho, the ravens would have beaten the patriots if they hadnt called a timeout. the refs were a good 12th man for the patriots too.......

This is easy to criticize after the fact. But there's a few things to think about on this. One, the whistle was blown and I'd bet a bunch of players hesitated or stopped play because they heard the whistle. Who's to say how the play would have turned out had the whistle not been blown if the timeout call hadn't taken place. It's easy to look at the result that did happen and get upset, heck, I did at first too. Still, I do think they did have a good chance of getting the stop there though.

I watched the replays just like I'm sure that you did, & it looked as though he had control & both his feet was in! The reffs saw it that way under review also!...............

If I were a patriots fan I would be nervous. They have been looking like crap the last two weeks. I think "the blueprint on beating them" is out. The eagles exposed it and the Ravens used it and almost got a win. As soon as they play anyone worth a darn they are going to lose. I am hoping for a 15-0 pats vs 0-15 Dolphins game. If you know anything about NFL history and laws of probablity you would put your money on the Dolphins.

No way will the Fins beat the Pats this year. The Fins are THAT bad.

It wouldn't be 15-0/0-15 matchup anyway. They play the Giants in the last game and an upset there is a LOT more likely. If the Eagles can almost beat them, the Giants legitimately could do it.

The last two teams they played are "worth a darn"! They were both physical teams with great defense! Next week against the Steelers won't be a walk in the park either! However they are a great team that does not know the meaning of quit or loosing it's cools when the pressure is intense ala. Baltimore!!! That is a true quality feature of a championship team such as the Pats! Had the Ravens not cracked under pressure maybe they would have won! However they are not a team of that calibre, as was evidently shown!!!
My Pats will be in the SuperBowl! Your team will not be.........

The Ravens play 55 minutes of great football.

Some bad calls by the refs and some bad play by the Ravens cost us the game.

I was there and I must say it was a great game to be at. I am still hoarse from the yelling.

I am pretty well convinced that the league wants the Patriots to go undefeated into the Miami game and see what happens there. Too much drama. If the calls could go either way they went the way of NE.

Oh well....we gave it a heck of a shot and almost had them beat.

Your team lost because they (RAVENS) cracked under extreeme pressure, & are not a Championship Caliber Team such as the Pats, who remain COOL under pressure cause they have been under extreeme pressure for many a season! You guys beat yourselves, & we exploited that right in your face!!!............
