Seriously?

drew05 accuse Ed Reed of trying to place his helmet on the kneecap of Eagle ball-carriers ALL GAME.

Ray Lewis has lost about 12 steps…

Ed Reed has a ball-magnet, no doubt…but the dude tackles like Asante Samuel.

I was there….. The game was awesome. Real men playing tough football. It was awesome to see the Eagles toughen up a bit and go at it with the Ravens.

If you watch the 1st quarter of the game, the Ravens took all the cheap shots, and late hits, and were pushing the Eagles around…… Something clicked for the Eagles, and they started to push back about halfway through the 2nd quarter. That’s when they took control, and the Ravens started to whine.

The officials were horribly slow, and missed some calls, but they missed calls both ways. Get over it. There was a play where a Raven threw 2 punches right in front of an official and no flag was thrown.

A team finally toughened up against these bullies and they didn’t like it very much. Just like a high school bully: They want to dish it out, but can’t take it.

Vonta Leach makes no sense. When he says they play dirty and act like they can bully you, why go after one of the smallest guys on the field to show how tough you are? That’s not very tough. Aside from Vonta’s comments I really enjoyed this game. Who would have thought two teams from opposing conferences would play like division rivals. The only downside is they still have to play division rivals. Most of the post play scuffles weren’t anything worse than something you might see at training camp.

Hear we go with the complaining!!!! Eagles out gained the Ravens by 180 yds. They also had 3 turnovers in the redzone. Two of those turnovers were just given to the Ravens by dropping the ball. Lets remember that the Ravens kicker hit a 56 and a 53 yard FG to keep the Ravens in the game. Alot went well for the Ravens and alot went against he eagles including penalties like Ravens Holding and false starts throughtout the game and the Eagles foud a way to win. So to be honest with the babies and punks crying about one call that went against the Ravens it should of been a 10-17 point win by the Eagles if you really want to be honest.

Stop being soft punks and act like the tough guys you thijnk you are and say…..yea the Eagles beat us, Flacco looked confused, the Eagles D shut us out in the second half and forced us away from our NEW NO Huddle offense and the Eagles offense drove up and the down the Field on 85% of their drives.

I watched the game, and the TV really showed the fighting around who started stuff… and guess what, it was very even.

I am sure had the Eagles lost they would be saying similar things, but fact is they didn’t, so their mouths were shut.

The refs are definitely affecting the game, flags could have gone out much sooner for personal fouls, receivers getting mugged down field. Vick got hit below the knee 3 times… no flag. The play they refs got wrong and overturned with the forward pass with Nata was correctly overturned, but then it should have been intentional grounding… Every time there is a flag, its a 3 minute discussion.

But all that aside, the Eagles and Ravens are turning out to be 2 teams we know very little about. How do the eagles make beating the Browns seem just as tough as beating the Ravens? How?
How do the ravens get away from Ray Rice in the second half?

And of ANY coach in the league Andy Reid would be the LAST coach to teach his players to be dirty it was a high tempered game and no one on the eagles are gonna take crap from anyone including Baltimore I guess Baltimore thinks they are the biggest bad asses around until someone steps up to them then they wanna wine about the little things

Wah Wah Wah! Ever notice the winning team complaining about dirty play? it was a physical game I saw both sides starting things up. I enjoyed the game tremendously!! I got exactly what I wanted. Flacco to have a decent game and the Eagles to win. Flacco grew up 6 blocks from me so I will always root for HIM.

If I remember correctly it was not just eagles players being dirty Baltimore is just being a bunch of babies because they lost. Eagles 2-0 !!!

This is ridiculous. How could Leach say we were dirty, when there were at least 3 late hits on Vick in our first 2 offensive possessions (While the Ravens only got off 2 plays before fumbling the ball). The Eagles got the royal treatment in the first half, and although there were aggressive plays, there were countless plays that Baltimore hit Eagles players late. I thought the game was entertaining because of how aggressive players were getting, but dont complain that you were out hit when your teams MO is to be the “BULLY” every game.

Why did the Ravens top running the ball? Because Ryans was destroying their O-line once he knew he didn’t have to worry about the passing game

Leach ran 20 yards at almost a full sprint at Coleman after he scored a touchdown to do what, talk smack? get in his face? you just scored a**hole go celebrate with your team, you run after our guys like that, which was incredibly unsportsmanlike, they’re gonna get mad and shove it down your throats. You got what you deserved.

And Williams!!! He was grabbing Deseans facemask then cries that DeSean got mad about it??? what a joke!! And then a 300+ lb lineman comes over and yanks DJax to the ground from behind and gets no flag and YOU want to complain that WERE dirty?!? Somebody must have an endorsement with Kleenex.

I’m a Ravens’ fan, but from what I saw of the game, both teams were playing “dirty” because they saw the refs had zero control over them. Cary Williams AND Desean Jackson should have been ejected for fist fighting eachother, then maybe the others would have simmered down some. Goodell needs to get his ass in gear with the real officials or expect to see a lot more “chippiness” in the next week.

Is it just me or does it seem like every team calls the other one of “playing dirty” now? 5 years ago you never heard any of this garbage and now all of a sudden it’s happening every week: Giants/Bucs, Eagles/Ravens, 49ers/Lions this week alone…How about you settle it on the field and then keep your mouths shut after the game…You don’t like how they play? Then beat them and move on

As a lifelong fan of the Eagles, I’m just glad to see a return to a defense with an attitude…and if that means to be accused of playing dirty, I’ll take it.

As a ravens fan, this whining and complaining is embarrassing. These guys are poorly representing this city. Shut up and play. If you lose, play better next week. Yea, Kurt Coleman and desean Jackson instigated things after most plays, so what? Keep your composure and do your job.

On a side note, did anyone see how quick Coleman backed down when he realized he was barking up the wrong tree with vonta leach? It was comical.

I was aghast at Vonte’s depiction of the game as we enjoyed crumpets and tea after the game.

I keep reading how the league is trying to take the toughness out of football, how pretty soon they’ll be wearing flags, how the rules prevent players from playing the way they want to play, blah blah blah…..

Meanwhile I have seen more whining from players both on and off the field about teams playing too rough. Yesterday, I stopped counting when I got to ten the amount of times I saw a QB crying for a roughing the passer call, including a particularly embarrassing incident in the Redskins game where RGIII was caught on mic whining about someone leading with their head on a downfield tackle.

Either you like the rules or you don’t. You can’t have it both ways.
