Brady and the Pats haven't scored all half... against a pretty watered down Ravens defense. Confidence is EVERYTHING in this league... and the Pats have close to none against the Ravens.
Schaub throws better in space/on the run than Flacco. He cannot scramble or avoid pressure as well as Flacco.
it's the same, a loss. Maybe it would have been a closer game because of homefield adv., but we still had an inconsistent offense and a defense capable of falling apart at a moment's notice, plus our ever vaunted special teams and we still had injuries at our ILBs.
sometimes it all about matchups. the ravens are just a bad matchup for the pats i think. just as the pats were bad for us. we probably would have played the ravens very competitively.
all this doesn't matter. Bottom line is we didn't take care of business when we needed to, could have beaten the Vikings, or the colts and we would have had a decent shot of playing this weekend. the texans fell apart down the stretch and proved that they aren't a championship team
I think the Ravens have a decent chance against the 49ers. Still say the 49ers take it, but it'll be a close game, IMO.
The NFL is all about matchups. Even if the Texans were playing piss poor Football I still believe we would have fared better against the Ravens.
I don't care who wins the Super Bowl. I would love to see Randy Moss and Frank Gore get a ring but would also love to see Ed Reed get one.
