Ravens-Broncos

I think the refs gave off that vibe.

Completely agree, like when they picked up the flag for excessive celebration on the Broncos.
They were completely one sided.   

And if you watched that was eventually the correct call.  On a meaningless penalty anyway.

No it wasn't, the flag should have been for a group celebration, it was nothing to do with Decker coming from the bench to celebrate (isn't that flagable?) with no helmet.
There were bad calls both ways.

Wasn't planned, they never call that, on a spontaneous group.  The only reason the flag came out was because of Decker.

I've seen that called plenty of times, it happens most weeks depending on who the NFL wants to help try and win that week.

Manning now one and done in the playoffs 8 times out of 12 appearances.  The NFL is tough especially the playoffs.

I've been waiting all season for this....may the Manning hype be put to bed. Hell.....freakin Tebow won a gm with that supporting cast. Right Java?

LOL - you're right.  And his inability to play CB in a prevent is sooo poor.

Had they won, he'd have gotten full credit for the 2 special team TDs so yes, i'm fine with blaming him for the piss poor coverage. 

When the Seahawks take it to the over-rated Matty Ice tmrw, this will have been one helluva profitable wknd.

You can tell the media is pretty ticked off they aren't going to get the Brady vs Manning match-up they have been praying for

[Bayfisher]

I certainly didn't think anyone was going to beat the Broncos after the Pittsburgh game.  It took a herculean effort by the Ravens and Manning was making poor throws under pressure.  Almost looked like he was out of gas. You could tell by the look on his face that the interception can only be blamed on him. That will make for a long offseason.  One of the best recent games I can remember.  That really was a classic game.

Yes but they can fall back on Ray Lewis retirement hype.

[Bayfisher]

Or a Harbaugh/Harbaugh game.

[caradoc]

The "HarBowl", I can see it now.  Call your union rep and get those refs in line!

@CSteele32
Great moment @ 1.5 hours after the game, Peyton Manning and his family waited to congratulate @raylewis52 #ravens

I was happy to see the Adrian Peterson hype put to bed last week.

What are the odds that the Aaron Rodgers hype was also put to bed yesterday?

For one, I believe you were saying he deserved to be the MVP - along with Peterson, who also lost last weekend.

For the record, I think the "hype" on all three players was warranted.  I'm just pointing out that the "hype" shouldn't be diminished because their teams lost.

[captainjimbo]

No doubt, three great players.  Of course they will be hyped or the NFL isn't doing their job.

I have never said he was this year's MVP.....for me, its Peterson without question. In the thread about the best player in the league, i said its Rodgers. Different argument.
