I just realized the Pats will be one mile down the road on Sunday and I'll be there.
You JUST realized that???? How does any pat fan not have next week lit in neon on his calendar since the schedule was announced? This revenge beating is only #2 in the list after crushing the Giants in the Super Bowl.
Ahem.
1) The DBs...with a couple of exceptions, they blanketed the Ravens receivers. How huge was Butlers decking of Pitta a few inches short of the first down? This, in a season where the refs are calling anything in the vicinity of the yellow line an automatic first down. It was nice of Harbaugh to go gutless on the 4th down, too. I think Jonathan Jones is a comer and will take over for Ryan shortly. He's got very good instincts around the ball and reminds me a little of Butler in that regard.
2) The LBs.....KVN has been a revelation and we can now forget all about Jamie whatshisname. I'm not sold on McClellan, though. Whatever happened to Elandon Roberts?
3) Hogan/Mitchell/Bennett.....too many throws to Edelman in the last three weeks. The difference is if you throw it they will catch it (especially Mitchell).
4) Patriarca with his DL formations. "you never know WHICH four!"
Little known stat: Slater has 4 fumbles in 13 kickoff returns.
I want to crush the Broncos, and drive their women and children weeping before us. Because, Fuck the Broncos.
