NFL Playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs!?!

I had to go all the way to Sacramento to find someone else who spotted the Ravens' confusion with getting the kicker on the field.  His theory was that Harbaugh was expecting Belichek to ice the kicker with a time out so he picked his nose until the play clock was down to 10.

I read somewhere that the kicker thought it was still 3rd down.

D'oh!

Is that what Skip Bayless and Suggs were arguing about?  That would make some sense.

Colts signed Ravens DC to be new coach?

Ravens DC seems to be a one-year gig at this point.

Ray Lewis and Ed Reed call the plays anyway.  The DC just talks to the coach.

Guy was a Wyoming Cowboy - obviously you underrate his skill and ability.  Now he went to Indy to become a douche...

I'm sure they call some of the plays, but surely they don't have anything to do with changing packages, etc. (and yes, I am calling you Shirley).

Yes, there was actually an error on the play clock.

Pats are cheaters.

You mean the time keeper muffed it??

Cundiff told me he initially thought he was at fault, that he had looked at the scoreboard too early, before the down number had been changed. In fact, the Gillette Stadium scoreboard was off by a down. ...Ravens P.R. director Kevin Byrne told me—and Cundiff later learned—that team officials watched the All-22 video of the game on Monday and confirmed the scoreboard malfunction.

Bellicheat strikes again.

Typical Foxboro.

Right?

While the Patriots might be utterly dishonest and without a single shred of human decency, they didn't make Lee Evans drop the game-winning touchdown.
