That would have been funny (ok not funny) had the hail mary worked.
 
Gotta go with Harmon.

Brady
Amendola

Revis. We fucking need a much better effort out of you.

@PatsGazette Patriots are first team in #NFL history to overcome multiple 14 point deficiencies and win a playoff game #PatriotsNation

Also, the coaching staff for just deciding we won't run, we can't run, so we won't do it.

Steve Smith Sr. with a classy move right after the hail mary. Congratulated every Pat he came across. 
 
Hate pretty much all Ravens but not that guy.

The DL was wretched. It can't be overstated how poorly they played today. No pass rush, dominated in run game.

Josh McDaniels can pick his job after tonight.
 
The 4 offensive linemen with Hooman or Vereen declaring ineligible is something no one has ever seen before and they waited to bring it out at just the right time. Not to mention the exact right time to call the Edelman pass.

McDaniels killed it ... and on the other sideline, Kubiak had a hell of a night, too.

I have a confession.
 
My laptop was plugged in for the first two Ravens scores.
 
Then I unplugged it when I shifted to the other side of the couch and the Pats scored twice.
 
My battery was about to die so I plugged it in again and the Ravens scored twice. I figured out what was happening so I unplugged it again. Then the Pats scored twice.
 
I needed a little bit more of a charge so I plugged it in for five minutes and unplugged it, then the Ravens got a field goal and then the Pats scored. I left it unplugged from there on out.
 
I was almost the goat.

I get the Amendola love. And it's nice to spread the credit around...

But, for once, this should go to Brady and nobody-but-Brady. To overcome two 14pt deficits against a fearsome pass rush when your offense mounts FOURTEEN TOTAL RUSHING YARDS. Freaking insane. One of the best 5 crunch-time games I've seen him play.

Amendola, McCourty, Harmon, Edelman, Brady, Collins, Chung, Vareen, McDaniels. It took a huge collective effort to gut this one out. Revis must be fucking pissed right now, so hopefully he comes out strong next weekend, because if Browner is down, we're really going to be leaning on him.

Dude, I had the exact same experience. We've unlocked some deep shit here.

Can't hate Steve Smith: @RyanHannable
Steve Smith Sr., holding back tears as he spoke, had nothing but positive things to say about Revis, "two savvy vets going at it."

I'm going to go with a moment that I think was significant in the end -- the play where Flacco bangs into Forsett and stumbles. After that play, there was a lot of confusion. It took a while for the refs to decide whether it was a fumble or forward pass, and by the time the Ravens got to the line there were only about 8 seconds left on the play clock and they had to call time out. They got the first down, but that put the Patriots in a kneel down situation if they got the ball. If the Ravens have two time outs and turn over the ball either with a pick or on downs, the Patriots still need to get a first down to put the game away. So, Forsett for bumping Flacco and causing 30 seconds of confusion.

yeah but Brady had help in the passing game. Edelman tied with vinatieri for best passer rating in Patriots history now?

Brady - Still the same guy

Amendola - just earned his contract

Gronk - the difference maker on offense

Special Teams - Controlled Jacoby Jones all day

Logan Ryan - Stepped up when called upon
