eyeh8goodell- I’m not a Ravens fan by any means, but that 2007 game still sticks out in my mind as probably the worst and most slanted officiating I’ve ever seen in the NFL. It was unbelievable.

===================================

Did you see the 2009 Ravens/Pats game? The one where brady was coming back for the ACL injury? That was a SB XL level of ref ineptness.

Since the Ravens have beaten the Patriots only one time in the history of their franchise, it stands to reason that one win would be important in making it a rivalry. 7-1, not 8-0. Otherwise it would be like the rialry between a hammer and a nail.

Actually, i’d say it was the 2007 regular season meeting. I’m a Steelers fan, but the Ravens should have won that game. Patriots drives kept alive by phantom PI calls. Garbage roughing the passer calls for Brady. That was the game the officiating was so bad and slanted in NE’s favor that Bart Scott picked up one of the flags and threw it at the back of the endzone. That was also one of the biggest gaffes in Rex Ryan’s history with the timeout call on 4th down late in the 4th.

Not like the Steelers, because the Patriots always kick our behinds.

“this team shapes up to be one of the best Baltimore has had”

Uhhhhh….how? Reed and Lewis are both a step slow, the Eagles were leaving them sprawled all over the field last week. The only play of any importance either made was a pick by Reed. A pick that deflected of someone 15 yards away and bounced right to him, not exactly a all-pro play.

Their O-Line is average at best (evidence, the Eagles were in Flacco’s face all day, and only blitzed 6 times all game)

This Baltimore team is on a downward slope. They are still a playoff team, but they are not in any way, shape, or form, an elite team. They are an above average team, that thinks they are the same bullies they were 3-4 years ago. The only difference is, the rest of the league is willing to stand up to them now, and like ALL bullies, when that happens, they lose, and then cry about how the other guys were bullies.

Vince is a great guy…and a heck of an athlete.
