Foreshadowing...........once Talib was done so were the Patriots. It was just a matter of time.

Offense shot itself in the foot several times. TOs, Welker's drop, no timeout before field goal with 14 seconds left in half. Bad Solder penalty on 3 man rush.

Defense held together respectably without him, even if they weren't the same.

that and the coaching staff there

C'mon fanboy, they looked like Bielema at the end of the half. Well, except they still had a TO to call.

Classy by Hoodie. Loses game fair and square and has no guts for post game interview on CBS. May not be a big thing, but kind of immature. The Ray-Ray retirement tour is gonna get real tired over 2 weeks, so will the brother vs. brother angle.

Ridley was lights out after that hit as he went to the ground.

Sure looked that way. I think he was out cold.

Studio announcer took him to task for it - Shannon Sharpe I believe? Said Belicheck makes it easy to dislike the Patriots - you can't be a sore loser every time. It's the NFL, you're not going to win them all and people dislike a sore loser.

edit: found the quote. It was Shannon

Bill Belichick makes it real easy for you to root against the Patriots. You can’t be a poor sport all the time. You’re not gonna win all the time. And he does this every time he loses. It is unacceptable.

So much for a pass dominated league.

Trailing at halftime, Ravens mostly abandoned the run and turned Flacco loose. He had 3 2nd half TD passes to win the game. Being able to run is helpful, but you usually have to be able to pass to score.

Flacco looking pretty impressive and Ravens D playing pretty tough. I'd be cheering for NE or Balt anyway. Can't stand that ass Jim Harbaugh. John isn't much better suppose.

John is not as annoying as his little brother.

Super HairBall!

I agree, I think John's the more likeable. However, Jim may be the better coach. Not sure there. I think the 49ers are the better team, and would be even more of a classic favorite if not for Kapernick being a 1st year starter.

Kaepernick was throwing nice nice passes to Davis yesterday. So you do have to be able to pass to win in this league. Just ask Leslie Frasier.

Jim came on to a stocked team with a D that was peaking. He and Roman have done a lot of creative things offensively but it remains to be seen whether he is going to pull a Chucky with San Fran.
