So many balls rarely bounce the wrong way as they did tonight. He is very good at putting things behind him and I expect to see him back in form next week.
I give John Harbaugh and the Ravens a lot of credit for coming up with a good game plan that took away some of the bread-and-butter stuff KS had relied on. Their linebackers are the AFC version of Warner/Greenlaw - top-level players. They made it a lot harder to throw the ball over the middle.
It seemed like the game turned after Sneed didn't look for the ball and instead of a 1st down, they had to punt. Then injuries started to happen and Jackson began doing his ballroom dance routine and...
The teams that reach the Super Bowl are always the healthiest teams. I look forward to this team being healthy and getting a second chance at the Ravens. It will be a different game.
I was so disgusted with snead's effort on that route, it was horrible
