Was the plane broken? Yes. Were 2 feet down Yes. Touchdown Ravens! Only team in playoffs last four years, twice in Championship. Balto. is the only dynasty in the NFL. Go Ravens Go!
@Fairfaxcat lol WTF are you talking about... to even be considered a dynasty you have to win some Superbowls 1st off. The Ravens are more like the Buffalo Bills of the 90's (almost but not quite). Another thing Evans catch the smack out was no catch-- he did no maintain control of the catch- don't get fooled by slow motion, the game doesn't happen in slo-mo
Bills of the 90's? Too much credit to the paper tease Ravens. The 90's Bills at least were able to reach the Super Bowl. The Ravens are more like the Houston Oilers. Bumping their heads against the top AFC teams (Steelers, Colts, Pats), and losing.
Just think if that was the game-winning field goal, Cundiff would not be able to get his ass that field alive, but seriously why does this shit always happen to the ravens. I mean really we had a really high caliber team last year where we should of went to the SB and this year. Just compare these two teams and its complete bs to say the Pats are better. the same goes for the 49ers too, they got screw by special teams. So it should have been a highly anticipated Ravens-49ers game.
Lee Evans is the real looser of the game because that play would have sent the ravens to the superbowl. The cundiff kick would have only sent them to ot...
Granted, Evans could (maybe should) have caught that pass. But that in no way was that a "drop" -- I think more credit should be given to Moore, rather than ridicule towards Evans.
anyone complaining that this was a catch clearly doesnt understand the rules. "If the player loses the ball while simultaneously touching both feet or any part of his body other than his hands to the ground, or if there is any doubt that the acts were simultaneous, it is not a catch." -rule 8 section 1 article 3 of the nfl rulebook. as far as the scoreboard goes, anyone who has actually been to an nfl game knows that scoreboard errors are fairly common, ravens choked, pats won, move on.
Simply having both feet down does not constitute a catch. You need to maintain possession. The term "making a football move" does apply, but it's just another way of saying: "He showed possession." If he were to get hit in the helmet at that same point, he still would of been a defenseless receiver, therefore NOT a runner with possession.
It looks like the ball was out right before his second foot touched the ground. I played the replay thing in slow motion, and I saw him start losing control before his second foot went down.
That was a catch. New England clearly knocked the ball out of him after both his feet touched the ground. That was a touchdown! New England cheats once again!
@brightideasideas Are you blind? I'm not even a Pats fan and I see it clearly as being an incomplete pass. The ball came lose before he had that second foot down. There's no question about it.
im glad lee evans dropped that ball. They never even really considered him a number 1. i know boldin and torrey were good, but tbh, evans is just too fast,strong to be played sometimes, hope he goes to miami then he'll be catchin the game winner for dolphins in sb
@kcrockaholic4life idk it seems like it was pretty important play in a pretty important game. oh well, i guess goodell wanted the pats in the Super Bowl
"If the player loses the ball while simultaneously touching both feet or any other part
of his body to the ground or if there is any doubt that the acts were simultaneous, there is no possession. This rule applies in the field of play and in the end zone."
@twinkie57401 this wasnt nearly the same situation as the mega tron catch. He caught it, held it for much longer and went to the ground with it. Lee Evans had the ball knocked out of his hands before he completed the catch.
@ 0:32 I can't tell if his extended foot is touching the ground or not? For a fraction of a microsecond he might have scored but since they called it incomplete they wouldn't have overturned it, same if they called it a TD it wouldn't of been overturned & I'm a Jets fan I fucking hate the Patriots. How did this asshole drop it he had the damn ball in his hands & caught you'd think he'd hold on tight for a second for the win instead of knocking his team out of the super bowl, then the missed FG!
what i don't get is why the didn't even review the play. it was pretty fricken close and i thought they were supposed to review all scoring plays, whether the ruling was touchdown or not
@kcrockaholic4life But it was under 2 minutes, so the booth could have reviewed it anyway. Either way, it wasn't a TD because he didn't get 3 steps upright before the ball came out. Had that happened, it would have been a TD.
there comes a time in a teams history where you realize that it's just not meant for them to win a championship for a loooong time. i think this is one of those times for the ravens
@Hawkboy77 fuck your retarded, ravens weren't around prior to 96 you dipshit, so you can't use that 6 ring bullshit achievement against us, it puzzles the mind how retarded you people are, since you like to talk about history so much how about this, one playoff appearance in 39 years, wonder how many pitt fans there was during that period, steeler fans = plastic bandwagon followers
@bulletproof6113, uh...didn't Baltimore have a storied franchise for DECADES prior to the Browns coming to town? So, actually, we CAN use the "6 ring BS" against you.
But hey, you've won a Super Bowl....that's a lot more than what a lot of other teams can say.
@pacmantab dumbass after 16 years we established ourselves as SB contenders doing better than most teams when they first started, LOL do you wanna compare the ravens 16yrs to the steelers first 16yrs???, steelers didn't win any championship from 1933-66, since the SB system, it took the squealers 7 years to their 1st, while it took us 4yrs, we have done a phenomenal job in our short history
@bulletproof6113, I can counter using quality versus quantity too. Let's look at each team's most recent SB win. The Ravens' had one of the easiest schedules in the league the year they won....while the Steelers had the toughest schedule.

@BelichickPATS8384: Exactly, the Pats do have a better kicker then last year's pro-bowl kicker Billy Cundiff. I'm sorry when was Stephen Gostkowski in the pro-bowl. I guess that doesn't matter because he's hit so many great kicks this year. Wait I think he only... Yea he only hit 8 field goals all season. But that doesn't matter because he must have hit huge distances. Hmm.. He didn't make a field goal over 38 yards all season..... Wow. Reading comments like yours make me lose faith in both the
After watching this, watch the "SO NEW ENGLAND" Video!! Other than the lesbian shower scene, dude wipes his ass w/ NY Yankee toilet paper!! And the song is Fucking NUTTSS!!!
This has to be our N.E. Anthem!!! Tell A Few Friends!
harbuagh is more at blame for this loss TWICE he had an opportunity to use his last time and NEVER DID... 1st time, to force a review of Evan's end zone catch-incompletion and then to let cundiff settle himself...ridiculous...
I hope the people who said Billy should hang himself or kill himself after the game lack two fundamental reasoning skills. One: who have you have ever even been close to this moment, with the immense pressure and stress that comes from a make or break situation. Two: he's a human being, after all, and does not deserve the comments that he knows deep down inside will plague him for his remaining years in the league. If he actually did kill himself I blame all of you who contributed through ridic
WOW HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU F UP LIKE THAT WHAT A JOKE IF I WAS THAT KICKER I WOULD HAVE KILLED MY SELF PATS SHOULD HAVE LOSS THE GAME PATS ARE SO LUCKY THEY ALWAYS GET BRAKES LIKE THAT ITS LIKE A JOKE HOW THEY WIN GAMES LIKE SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIRE THAT KICKER. Ravens should have had the game won before the field goal anyways. If there wasnt a dropped pass in the endzone it never woulda came down to the field goal. Patriots are a fluke and i cant wait to watch Giants take it too them...
There is no way thats a catch. dont you guys remember Calvin Johnson? that looked more like a catch than this and that one was incomplete too. you need to hold the ball for more than half a second to have a catch. what that was, was a season saving knockout by Moore. and why did harbaugh not call timeout on the field goal. cundiff was clearly rushed and panicked. o well. go brownies.
he was rushed because he could only see the scoreboard from where he was doing his pre-kick rituals and the patriots homer scorekeeper conveniently had the wrong down on the scoreboard, but this should not be surprising
@twinkie57401 Twinkie, I really enjoy reading your posts. A football team with 50+ players, a buttload of coaches and therapists in the midst of a hard fought game would all be fully aware of down and distance. If they get fooled by the scoreboard, then they are retarded. Harbaugh, himself, said that it had no bearing at all on Cundiff. The conspiracy theory you keep bringing up is a figment of your imagination...........
Not my theory, just repeating it. Cundiff was way in the back going through his pre-kick rituals, according to HIM, and had to rush. But everybody manipulates the clock/scoreboard. $hit happens. And everyone agrees, the Patriots are the Patriots, that won't change.
@Drybones195 Nope, it depends on the situation. Short field goals are mostly mental, and in this case he obviously wasn't mentally prepared. Their receiver had just dropped a touchdown pass that would have won the game, so they were in shock and a timeout would have helped him refocus.
@Drybones195 Well, Harbaugh would have been criticized either way because hindsight is 20/20 and they lost, so it's just a matter of which decision would get less debris thrown at him. In this situation it made more sense to settle down and concentrate because victory was literally just torn from their hands, and they needed to breathe that out of their system. Cundiff drilled that distance a hundred times in practice every day, so with a relaxed mindset he'd be on autopilot and blameless.
If you RUN in and then FUMBLE, it's a touchdown. But it must be a COMPLETED pass to in the endzone to be a touch down. A receiver cannot stand in the endzone flatfooted with both feet on the ground, and let the ball bounce off his hands and have it be called a touchdown. he did not maintain possession.
The receiver didn't even try to make his case with the ref. or his coach. what's that tell you.
that is no longer the way they interpret the rule, rooster, but lee evans didn't complain because he was in shock that flacco hit him right in the hands for a sure game winning touchdown and he didn't catch it, wrap it up, and spike it and he would have gone to the super bowl. can't blame him for that.
The officials have the power to make a judgement call in all aspects of the game and even if they did review it, they could say it wasn't enough to overturn the judgement call that was made on the field, in their judgement of course. Which is why they should just $hitcan the whole replay process anyway, because they don't get it right then sometimes and it all goes back to someone's judgement call.
Man this broke my heart into a million pieces...:/ I hope lee Evans can have a good season next year :) I'm not gonna hate him he's a goodass receiver
Honestly, I can understand how a kicker can miss a field goal... especially when being rushed and the holder didn't get the laces out in time. But how Lee Evans drops that absolutely perfect pass is beyond me. He had a reputation around the league for having sure hands. That's just sad. Why turn your body in the first place? Haul in the damn thing, drop your two feet to the ground and squeeze that damn ball to your body.
Ravens should have gone to the superbowl... Patriots were outplayed
@Appleholic1 Am i the only one baffled at how everyone is calling this a simple dropped ball? sterling moore made an incredibly clutch defensive play.
he was just flailing in desperation because he got beat miserably and his man was wide open in the endzone for the winning touchdown. don't give him too much credit for making up for what could have been the biggest mistake of his young career
@twinkie57401 dude if sterling moore didn't get his hand inside the receiver and manage to swat the ball the ravens are in the superbowl. if he doesn't get his hand in there pats lose just about guarantee
This loss was brutal, if ur a Ravens fan. If your not, then you have no clue of the amount of pain we felt when we saw those two fails back to back at the end of that game. Honestly, the biggest choke by a kicker in playoff history...missing a 32 yard field goal. I can make that kick, literally.. Yes a win is a win and that's all to be said at the end of the day. But the truth of the matter is the Ravens outplayed the Patriots in all aspects of the game. We beat ourselves cause of poor execution
Ravens just didn't have what it takes. It'll be a good decade before Flacco is good enough to make it--that is if he doesn't do bad enough by then to have been traded by then XD
What the fuck are you talking about. You either didn't watch the game, dont know football, or your just plain stupid. Flacco played better than Brady in that game. Sure he has some misses here and there but he played solid in that game. I'm pissed at Cundiff and to be honest he shouldn't be a Raven next year because of that, we need a dependable kicker. But Evans should of made that catch. He makes that catch, Ravens would be in Super Bowl. That simple.
@wrestlerkid2012 AWWWWW POOR LITTLE CRYBABY!!!!! WANT ME TO CALL THE WAAAAAAAMBULANCE FOR YOU YOU LITTLE PUSSY???? SHUT THE FUCK UP OR DO I HAVE TO SLAP YOU SILLY YOU LITTLE SHIT!!! RAVENS LOST!!!!! SUCK IT LOSER!!!!!!!!
@wrestlerkid2012: And yet the PATS are in the Super Bowl... again. They played better as a TEAM ththan the Ravens. I mean, the PATS don't put down their own players like the Ravens do. And they ended up with 3 points more and the Ravens had to chase their lead the whole 4th Quarter practically. And the PATS have something the Ravens don't, a good kicker. I suppose that's what it came down to in the end. Learn to football, Baltimore. Its no wonder you haven't been back to the SB.

@aacree, Yes you do have to make a football move. Think back to last year, when Calvin Johnson caught a TD pass with no defender around him and then went to the ground. He used the ball to get up and left the ball on the ground. The ruling was incomplete pass because he hadn't made a football move before letting go of the ball.
they have changed the way they interpret the rule since then, aacree, and experts agree this should have been called a touchdown, but it's the patriots so the can't do that
@twinkie57401 it wasn't a touchdown fucktard. lee never had full possesion of the football. you lost. get over it. next time sign a kicker who doesn't choke in the clutch.
Not my team, dikhead, I could care less who won. But the replays show it WAS a catch and the replays show the scoreboard was wrong, distracting the kicker. Typical Patriots.
@twinkie57401 apparently you do care who won or you wouldn't be talking shit about the patriots in the comment section. and distracting the kicker? what the fuck are you talking about? he missed the damn field goal. period.
scoreboard had the down wrong, some think it was on purpose, happens all the time. cundiff was in back warming up, so he had to rush on the field. but i'm not a fan of either team, time to move on.
@twinkie57401 the same thing happened in a steelers game a few years ago. the scoreboard said third down when it was really fourth down. i'm actually a redskins fan. i know they've really sucked the past few years but i'm sticking with my team.
the rule has been interpreted differently since that catch. experts say this should have been a touchdown. amateuers say no catch. NFL says I ain't touching that one!
the refs should have looked at it. however evans didnt get his second foot down before the ball was hit out so it wouldnt have been a catch. However it did look like he relaxed like he thought he had it for like a split second and thats why it was hit out. #cuthim. as for cundiff harbaugh should have called time out it was a bit rushed.. however its 32 yards. #cuthim. The ravens were the better team on sunday and even die hard pats fans will admit it. but the score was 23-20 NE. bottom line.
@chamtillionaire How can u say the Ravens were the better team? The pats were up 3 & Balt was the team behind on a last minute drive for the win or a tie. It just didnt work out for them & they lost. So how? Just cause they only gave up 23 points or that they picked Brady a few times? We all know the 1st pick, I think it was Hobbs, was blatant pass interference. If they were the better team the drop by Evans or Cundiffs miss would have been meaningless cause they were already up & beating them
Experts say this slow motion angle replay shows it is a touchdown. But it wouldn't have been clear enough to overturn the call on the field. Of course in New England you don't get the replay and the scoreboard operator doesn't have the correct down because the are convicted cheaters.
@twinkie57401 The only reason the scoreboard had the wrong down is cause Boldin fumbled & advanced the ball forward. It was initially thought to be a first down cause one official marked the ball at the spot Boldin fumbled it forward to make a 1st down. Now, if ur dumbass knew anything about football U'd know that a team or player cannot advance the football by way of a fumble. The ball was spotted back where he fumbled thus 2cnd down. The scoreboard is operated by NFL during playoffs, not Pats

@twinkie57401 The officials down on the field had it right. The big orange sticks down along the side of the field are down & distance markers. I know ur too dumb to know what those are but the officials had those right. The scorboard, which is operated by NFL personal during playoff games, was corrected a few plays later. The coaches & players all knew the down & distance cause of what the officials had called & marked with the BIG ORANGE STICKS. The scorboard is for the fans, its not official
well, you figure it out, oister. everyone knows which one is official, but it's a hundred dollar down and distance marker and a million dollar scoreboard, which one are you naturally inclined to notice more?
This is about as close as you can get to a catch without it being a catch. Time index 0:32, the ball starts coming out JUST BEFORE his second foot touches the ground.
@twinkie57401, don't get me wrong: If I had my rathers, I would have loved for a giant sinkhole to appear at midfield and swallow BOTH teams whole than see one go to the Super Bowl. But, to be honest, I think the ball is coming loose JUST BEFORE his second toe touches. Bear in mind the ball doesn't have to come COMPLETELY out for control to have been lost.
And since the ruling on the field was no catch, and there needing be be CONCLUSIVE visual evidence to overturn, it'd stand.
the replays show toes touching, ball in control, regardless of what anybody thinks. but i agree, no ref has the guts to overturn that call against a home team, especially when it's new england
@twinkie57401 u just said it "toes touching" both feet had to be down and according to the offical nfl rule book if the ball is stripped/dropped when the second foot is coming down then it is not a td
doesn't matter. the play is dead once your toes touch in the endzone. you sure can't advance it any further, except to SPIKE it ! which is what lee evan's should have done.
@twinkie57401 lol I dont think ill convince u it wasnt a catch and u wont convince me it was..the only thing thats certain is that the ravens lost and the pats won
@twinkie57401, I think you're missing my point. When I say there's no conclusive evidence, I don't mean that to say that "no ref has the guts to overturn that call against a home team" but rather there isn't enough to warrant overturning it - period. You can cry "foul" all you want, but look at time index 0:21. The ball just STARTS coming out JUST BEFORE the second foot comes down. Again, it's still against his body, but he no longer has control.
it wasn't coming out then. but you're missing MY point. it was an incorrect call on the field. it was the same as manningham's superbowl catch. ball control while toes touch for an instant. only difference is in the endzone, the play is technically over at that instant
@twinkie57401, I hope you're not offering up that still-image video of yours as backing....of which the first shot conveniently cuts the feet off from the shot.
Eh, the Ravens would have lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl anyway....maybe you should just see this as a good thing as it spared you from losing an even bigger game two weeks later....
well, i guess i am. he wasn't floating in mid air. i never said either team was mine, i just call 'em like i see 'em. now give it a rest and have a good off season.
@twinkie57401, for someone who says "(n)either team was mine," you seem to be the one who can't "give it a rest."
No, he's not "floating in mid air." One foot down, the other an inch (if that) off the ground. And for that whole "it wasn't reviewed" argument: It WAS reviewed...by the booth. They only buzz down IF they can't confirm the call on the field.
Like I said, I would have preferred a tie...but hey, the Pats lost the SB two weeks later so it's all good.
The greatest play in ravens history hahaha the ravens are professional chokers in the playoffs....raven fans will say it's not a choke but when the ravens lead going into the fourth and blow it!! That's a choke job for all you shitty raven fans
Look at the route Boldin was running on the play, WTF is that? He just runs into the defender and makes no attempt to separate. Evans should not have been the intended receiver because he hasn't been used the whole regular season. I assure you, cam cameron has had this idea several games to surprise people by throwing to Lee evans, but it never works because there's no chemistry between him and joe yet.
Clearly in my opinion the ravens beat the ravens, not the pats. It is sad to say this as I am a die hard Raven fan, this is clearly the problem every year, they beat themselves. Dump Evans and Cundiff set the tone this yr. there is not much time left with reed and lewis. Resign Ngata and Flaco. Open the field get Vincent Jackson, it would compliment boldin and smith nice. Strengten the offensive line. your D is solid with smith and webb coming along, and pollard looks good like landry did.
1st qtr. ravens had a 4th and inches situation in the red zone, harbaugh decided to kick a field goal, should have gone for it, it would have been 1st and goal u score a TD, could have had 4 more points. The fumble from the pats on the kick recovered by ravens in the red zone, they did not capatalize off that another field goal, thats another 4 points they shoulda got. Harbaugh not calling a timeout to calm things down for his kicker another big error. Im sorry but Harbaugh dropped the ball.
i'm sure harbaugh is killing himself for it, but he can't make the game winning catch for evans or kick the kick for cundiff, and they get paid a helluva lot more than he does
So your team cheated for six years. You shouldn't be allowed in the NFL. Go masturbate to Red Cock Sucking Sox baseball cause you Pat fans discovered football only in 2001. You're just bandwagon bitches.

Simply having both feet down does not constitute a catch. You need to maintain possession. The term "making a football move" does apply, but it's just another way of saying: "He showed possession." If he were to get hit in the helmet at that same point, he still would of been a defenseless receiver, therefore NOT a runner with possession.

@ 0:32 I can't tell if his extended foot is touching the ground or not? For a fraction of a microsecond he might have scored but since they called it incomplete they wouldn't have overturned it, same if they called it a TD it wouldn't of been overturned & I'm a Jets fan I fucking hate the Patriots. How did this asshole drop it he had the damn ball in his hands & caught you'd think he'd hold on tight for a second for the win instead of knocking his team out of the super bowl, then the missed FG!

There is no way thats a catch. dont you guys remember Calvin Johnson? that looked more like a catch than this and that one was incomplete too. you need to hold the ball for more than half a second to have a catch. what that was, was a season saving knockout by Moore. and why did harbaugh not call timeout on the field goal. cundiff was clearly rushed and panicked. o well. go brownies.

he was rushed because he could only see the scoreboard from where he was doing his pre-kick rituals and the patriots homer scorekeeper conveniently had the wrong down on the scoreboard, but this should not be surprising

Drybones195 4 weeks ago
@Drybones195 Nope, it depends on the situation. Short field goals are mostly mental, and in this case he obviously wasn't mentally prepared. Their receiver had just dropped a touchdown pass that would have won the game, so they were in shock and a timeout would have helped him refocus.

@owlcu If John Harbaugh called timeout, and billy cundiff missed the FG, wouldn't he take a SHITLOAD of criticism if his kicker missed the FG?
Drybones195 4 weeks ago
@Drybones195 Well, Harbaugh would have been criticized either way because hindsight is 20/20 and they lost, so it's just a matter of which decision would get less debris thrown at him. In this situation it made more sense to settle down and concentrate because victory was literally just torn from their hands, and they needed to breathe that out of their system. Cundiff drilled that distance a hundred times in practice every day, so with a relaxed mindset he'd be on autopilot and blameless.
owlcu 4 weeks ago
If you RUN in and then FUMBLE, it's a touchdown. But it must be a COMPLETED pass to in the endzone to be a touch down. A receiver cannot stand in the endzone flatfooted with both feet on the ground, and let the ball bounce off his hands and have it be called a touchdown. he did not maintain possession.
The receiver didn't even try to make his case with the ref. or his coach. what's that tell you.

So how? Just cause they only gave up 23 points or that they picked Brady a few times? We all know the 1st pick, I think it was Hobbs, was blatant pass interference. If they were the better team the drop by Evans or Cundiffs miss would have been meaningless cause they were already up & beating them

The fumble from the pats on the kick recovered by ravens in the red zone, they did not capatalize off that another field goal, thats another 4 points they shoulda got.

i'm sure harbaugh is killing himself for it, but he can't make the game winning catch for evans or kick the kick for cundiff, and they get paid a helluva lot more than he does

@TheFlashNYC You had a 9-7 season. You shouldn't even be allowed in the playoffs. And turn your Caps Lock off.

So your team cheated for six years. You shouldn't be allowed in the NFL. Go masturbate to Red Cock Sucking Sox baseball cause you Pat fans discovered football only in 2001. You're just bandwagon bitches.
