the points that they got weren't really indicative of how well they moved the ball (428 yards which would have been 5th best as an average/game this year).

- botched end of 1st half could cost them expected points
- multiple close 4th down decisions where they went conservative probably cost them points
- badly timed mistakes (drive killing 3rd down drop by Welker, 3rd down holding penalty which killed a drive, etc)
- lost fumble when Ridley got knocked out
- 2nd to last drive where it didn't make sense for them to kick a FG and they didn't convert
- tipped ball INT fairly deep in Ravens territory

some bad luck, some bad play, some bad timing, some bad coaching, all of that combined reduced scoring.

Ravens offense played really well, Flacco made some nice throws, good WR play.

are you saying bradychick lost because of variance?

baltimore radio this morning all about what a dick belichick is

Funny how you're ******ed.

3 AFCCG appearances and 2 SB appearances in 5 years (not counting 2008) is soooo bad.

A lot of us up in New England think he's a dick too. But better a dick than a cold blooded murderer I suppose.

LOL Suggs...awesome.

Any word on what was discussed postgame between him and Harbs? That is definitely the longest I have ever seen Billy B. stick around to chat.

It looked Harbach was telling BB how much he respected him etc so he could hardly do his usual just do the minimum.

dont worry, the hurt will go away before too long. as a bonus, you have 1 or 2 platers going to the pro bowl, no?

The whole "BB is a dick" meme is so weird. So ****ing what if he's a dick? His job isn't to be nice to you.

Do YOU intentionally act like a dick irl?

Am I bad person for wanting Ray Lewis to be the reason the Ravens lose in the Super Bowl?

itt Zoltan is ironic without knowing it

stay classy bro

spiral of irony itt

Bradychick lost because they haven't won it all since spygate broke and they had to stop cheating.

Definitely not variance, Pats were outplayed

Moderately clever five years ago.

Cupcake schedule.

I see EdBratz66 is wandering out into other SE threads after AIDSing up the coaching fail thread all year

His posting is about as good as his comedy

Tom Brady: Dink and dunk system QB and playoff choker.

wats even better is pats fans were blaming manning's int for TD (decker drop) on manning.

its the ****ing sports media. they honestly are the most entitled group of *******s- be nice to them and give them good stories or they will destroy you. that is just how they are.

Wes Welker's wife, Former 'Miss Hooters', ranted on Facebook after the Pats loss about how bad of a person Ray Lewis is. She says "Acquitted for Murder. ... A true role model!" Apparently she thinks Acquitted and Guilty are the same thing. Good thing she has the strong moral highground to make these attacks!

I guess if you become a Pat's wife you gotta do the attacking for your soft husband.

What is morally wrong about working at Hooters? 6 kids, 4 women is def more questionable no matter what you think about the murder.

What is morally wrong about having children? Lets run in circles.

You def cause some pain by having 4 wives and six kids. Those actions have consequences for others.
