The Ravens did everything right except at the end rushing 3 people not to mention the bone head play of calling a timeout on the fourth down play (that coach should be shot) Prevent defense doesn't prevent anything unless you're 3 touch downs ahead!!
I just don't see how this kid coach from Pittsburg can solve the Patriots, I'll be shocked if Pittsburg doesn't loose by at least 2 touchdowns....The Pats showed last night why they are the best team in Football!!
I respectfully disagree. I think the Ravens beat themselves with many stupid penalties

Any game Patriots play will draw much attention. Either they will decimate the opponent by a large margin or we would love to see this undefeated team finally be taken down by a humble team.
By that comment are we to assume you think the Pats aren't a humble team? Say what you will about Belichick, but I think the actions of the TEAM are above reproach; they play hard, they play well, and they play clean. About the only thing you can say about them is that the "run up the score," and the answer to this was spoken, I believe, by John Madden: "It's not the Patriot offense's job to stop scoring, it's the other team's defense's job to stop them from scoring."
^Not necessarily. What I mean is that on any given Sunday, the "best" team in the NFL can lose a game against the "worst" team. Since this is the best team, I for one would like to see the vindication of "any given Sunday" kind of phenomenon as all the players are professionals and they didn't make the NFL teams for lack of talents.
At this time, Patriots are the best in the league. They keep proving they are.
On an interesting note, I heard on Rush Limbaugh today that Coach Belichick showed a horse race footage at quarter mark, half mark and 3/4 mark and asked players to choose which horse would win. Obviously they picked different horses each time. Then he basically made the point that no one knows which horse would win until the end when a particular horse won. He was trying to reiterate that they have to go out and play all four quarters and give their best effort. And they did. They did play four quarters and came away with a win.
It is a well known fact that Belichick is a fine coach and Pats are a super team. But I like Phillip Wade and general demeanor of the Cowboys from smiling Romo to entertaining TO. I am just a Cowboys fan, that's all.

Sorry can't agree with this...when it's fourth down and they have a wide lead but still go for the td (game vs Bills comes to mind and if I remember correctly they did this twice) - it's nothing but running up the score.
