Quite a few things from the Ravens game bear discussion, from the refs, to the taunting calls, to Brady getting clocked in the head trying to get up.
I'd like to start with the clock management at the end of the game. Why were they kneeling? It seemed like they had forgotten Baltimore had one timeout. In that case, Harbaugh did the right thing by waiting till 3rd down to surprise them. At that point, all the Pats could do was punt and defend the hail Mary, I think. An intentional safety was a bad idea because (1) Balt could have taken a free kick and (2) it made the game winnable with a FG. Is that right? And why were they kneeling?!
