Ravens at Patriots (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

I'm no fan of Brady's, believe me... but most of you are overreacting. I just watched that play again about 10 times from three different angles and I didn't see any malicious intent there. That's just the way he always slides. Kind of girly-ish, with the leg sticking up.

It doesn't have to be malicious to be dangerous and unsportsmanlike. That's the stupidest way to slide, ever.

Well that's the thing... can something really be unsportsmanlike if it isn't intentional?But he needs how to learn how to slide better, yes.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Does anyone actually believe that Gronkowski wants the Pats to win tonight?

Huh? Why wouldn't he?

 

[Run It Up]

Which happens how often when a QB slides?Oh, and he still got stepped on. Stupid play and lucky no injuries or flags on it.

You answered your own question.

 

[mad sweeney]

Lost in all this is how utterly slow Brady is on the run. He makes Hasselbeck look like Mike Vick.

Intentional and malicious are different.eta: lots of hits and face masks and such aren't intentional and are still fouls.

 

[Raider Nation]

Q = beast

 

[bakes]

Belichick looks suspiciously like an Ewok.

He got stepped on because his leg was stuck up and caused the defender to not be able to avoid him like he would without a sissy leg stuck up there. You're digging your hole deeper.

 

[Ignoramus]

That guy singing Rush and playing air drums is cringe-worthy.

He's awesome. Especially when he tosses and snags his air-stick right in the middle of his riff.

Thats clearly what is happening here lol. Why don't you tell us more how something unintentional can be malicious.

 

[Raider Nation]

Smith would have had that if he was 26' tall.

Only Page 3 before the childish arguing started in a Patriots game thread. Nice work

 

[identikit]

I see we have yet another 'last word' contest in here.

First page of the pregame thread which started last week after the Texans game.

I didn't say anything like that. The closest would be me saying that something could be unintentional but still unsportsmanlike.

 

[Run It Up]

Anyone else pumped that Lloyd is actually catching balls here?

 

[Bigboy10182000]

That's a beatch call

 

[Mario Kart]

Bogus penalty.

 

[Buffaloes]

hit him w/ his shoulder

 

[mad sweeney]

Stupid rule strikes again! Should go for the knees guys.

 

[flapgreen]

 

[Popinski]

Hate that rule. It's like receivers know that if they make the catch, might as well add 15 yards to it.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Welker

 

[weebs]

Lol welker scared

 

[Andrew74]

2 weeks early there Welker.

 

[jonessed]

That's the fourth crappy personal foul of the day.

 

[twistd]

Welker dropped a lot of balls last week too.

 

[Billy Ball Thorton]

If ravens continue to run 1st down every time they are going to lose. It's so obvious.

 

[Ned]

Welker

Ugh

 

[Raider Nation]

Moar Stevie Wonder.

 

[Raider Nation]

If colts continue to run 1st down every time they are going to lose. It's so obvious.

 

[Buffaloes]

If colts continue to run 1st down every time they are going to lose. It's so obvious.

thought they were the browns?

 

[mr roboto]

Is this a Caldwell comment or a Baltimore Colts comment?

 

[mad sweeney]

Hate that rule. It's like receivers know that if they make the catch, might as well add 15 yards to it.

The league will start filling up with short receivers so that straight up tackles always hit them in the head. Anyone over 5'9" can just duck their head and get the extra 15. Absolutely essential to fix this rule in the offseason. Hopefully there'll be a dramatic example of this in the SB that affects the game (preferably against the 9ers!) that makes looking at it unavoidable. Also, brushing the QBs head (like today) or unavoidable contact (Earl Thomas vs Miami) while in the normal process of trying to block a pass.

 

[Run It Up]

I'm really surprised the Ravens haven't shifted into their 50+ yd attempts for 3 downs offense, it worked in week 3.

 

[mr roboto]

The NE DBs have been playing very physical. Glad to see a call there.

 

[Raider Nation]

Pats are gonna kick themselves for letting Baltimore hang around here.

 

[mad sweeney]

That looked like both guys were going at each other. I thought the refs today have done a pretty good job of letting them play and not being ticky tack. Obviously some exceptions.

 

[Andrew74]

Wow Rice

 

[identikit]

That's why Pierce shouldn't be getting so many carries.

 

[Ignoramus]

I've mentioned it before but how does the RG of BAL get away with that little shift on every other play?

 

[Raider Nation]

I'd love to see Pierce get a full workload sometime. Intriguing guy.

 

[Raider Nation]

I've mentioned it before but how does the RG of BAL get away with that little shift on every other play?

Lots of teams do that now but the Ravens are the ones who started it.The answer to your question, though, is because it's not a maneuver that's intended to deceive the defense.

 

[Buffaloes]

but the Pollard hit was a penalty?

 

[Ned]

I'm really surprised the Ravens haven't shifted into their 50+ yd attempts for 3 downs offense, it worked in week 3.

damn it.

 

[Raider Nation]

 

[Ignoramus]

Wowee Pitta.

 

[mr roboto]

Pitta shakes it off, scores.

 

[Andrew74]

Glad to see the refs let someone get rocked.

 

[Rovers]

Pittaful.
