Are you serious?

Question

"Keep playing, boy" is offensive? I think the ravens need to face it, they lost to a good team ( a few calls at the end were questionable, but it's hard to find a game without tough calls).
Bart Scott was just on ESPN talking about how the game was fixed, and the ravens got screwed. I HATE the patriots and would personally throw a party if Tom Brady was hit by a bus, but come on, the Raven players need to suck it up.

Answer 1

...lol..another jealous fan...

...the ravens played a GREAT game , ..and gave the pats the best game all season.
...some bad calls? maybe...as with any game....
the pats shouldve lost....but ..once again, ...they pulled it off..
...end of story.

the talk about the game being fixed is nothing more than complet B.S.......sports fans just love to b*tch and complain about anything developing by the fact their fav team lost.
.....and any team they are jealous of.....
..they'll talk the subject into the ground until the next thing happens....
......

Answer 2

The Ravens played a very good game. Remember this team was 13-3 last year, so they have talent, and yesterday they had motivation. They did beat themselves though. I used to play LB in college, and I can tell you that that play on Watson clearly was a hold.

And as for Rex Ryan calling a timeout, if they had invoked the rule that assistants can't call timeouts, he would have been called for delay of game (which is what happens in those
situations) and the Pats would have gotten 5 yards and a first down, so don't blame the officials for that.

I also don't think the comment is particularly offensive, but I am not black, and sometimes in the heat of the moment things take on a different context. I bet in their minds, some of those guys at that moment were in a war, not a game. It's hard to imagine if you have not actually been in a hard fought close game like that. and the stakes of that game were MUCH higher than anything I have experienced as a player. So any comment like that by the zebras is going to be hard on you. And the ravens don't think they should be taking anyone's baloney, so they would be offended.


I just hope the Ravens channel all this anger to the Colts. let's see how they like it

Answer 3

Agreed...And in all honesty, the Ravens did a dang good job last night, in that they kept the Pats from running up the score like they've done to everyone else this year. The fact that NE scored less than 30 points should be viewed as a success, if you ask me - not to mention that the Ravens were ahead for most of the game. I know they want to win, but considering what the odds-makers were offering, and what the analysts were saying about what should have happened in last night's game, they should be patting themselves on the back!

Answer 4

The Ravens had plenty of chances and should have won the game. However, there is one call that was CLEARLY an official's error. Assistant coaches CANNOT call for a time out. Only players on the field and the HEAD coach. The correct call by the offiical was to ignore the time out. But, as I said, that one play didn't make or break the game.

Answer 5

The Ravens players and their coach are a bunch of zeroes. It's not the refs fault your coaches called a timeout on 4th down. It's not the refs fault that Boller threw that INT, when they were in FG range. It's not the refs fault you held Ben Watson eight yards down the field. Also, what's with all the hate for the Pats. Appreciate what you're watching. This is one of the greatest teams ever. But you know what? I guess as long as we're hated, that means we are the best team in the NFL.

Answer 6

The Ravens played a great game, when they were not racking up penalties.... as for Bart Scott, he's a prime example of poor sportsmanship and a violent temper, he needs anger management, in a big way, and needs to learn to accept that the mistakes made by the Ravens players, were what lost them the game.

Answer 7

I don't think the Ravens got screwed. That timeout was unfortunate, the play was never supposed to have run anyway, it was a dead ball. That defensive holding penalty was fishy, but reaching your arm out to a guy crossing over the middle is a good way to get flagged.

If anyone saw that WVU/Pitt game, now THERE was a game that refs were trying to fix.

Answer 8

The fact that both the official in question (the one who used the term "boy") and the player were both black kind of kills the argument of the idiot that claimed you would not understand because you are white.

This is not offensive at all. The funny thing is that the player (Rolle) admits to saying to the official, don't talk to me, you never played in the NFL...and the official is an ex NFL player. Rolle is just making a mountain out of a molehill.

And to the idiot who wants to play the race card here, get a fricken life. Learn to read before you open your trap.

Answer 9

I agree. Ravens lost, they have been all year, but I don't think it's that offensive. Although refs are supposed to stay out of your way, you're supposed to stay out of theirs.

The game wasn't fixed, Brady came through in the clutch, I don't see why people are complaining.

Answer 10

I think your desire to see Brady hit by a bus is a little harsh.....

Other than that, I agree...

Game was fixed and blah, blah,blah...What would you expect from a guy who picks up a refs flag and tosses into the crowd....I don't think I have ever even seen a spoiled little High School player act that bad......

Answer 11

If only the Ravens coach had not called a Timeout!! I had a heart attack and I honestly think if that call had not happened it would have counted as a sack. Patriots not necessarily a good team (consider cheating and a asterick next to their name) they just got lucky this time. Just wait for the Giants.
