Meh, how many people outside of old Bengals fans bring up Lewis Billups when talking about Joe Montana's 4 SBs?

Burrow needs to take slightly less for the team. If he wants to take money away from this defense I think we have to question is will to win. I keep waiting for the offense to take over and win one of these games. But the defense keeps getting it done. Who Dey!!!

Oh and we get to start the playoff win drought at zero again.

Well did he then catch and run for a playoff record 98yd fumble return score? 

Okay gameball for Hubbard with an honorable mention of Wilson.

The fumbles & the goal line in the first loss. 

Stanley Wilson, Krumrie's leg, Boomer's injury, and Billups' drop in the 2nd.

Right, and when we raise the Lombardi this year no one outside of Baltimore is going to talk about how we won this playoff game by an inch.

We scored 8 pts in the 3rd quarter.

The guy just stood there like the play was over.

Do you know if I agree with you or disagree with you?

I am asking people to be a bit less hostile to each other, regardless of their position.

Whoops, I was looking at the wrong line.  I blame the ice beer.

Wow. This win is probably one of the most impressive ones they’ve had. Thank God the defense came through again. I know the offense struggled a bit, but, they did just enough. Ravens defense is legit. Need Carman, Smith and Sharping to raise their play though.

I’m still in utter disbelief at Hubbard’s TD.

[TKUHL]

I guarantee Balt would have went for 2 if they scored. They had nothing to lose.

Do they still make ice beer? I figured that was a fad long gone.

The offense struggled a bit because the Ravens defense is legit.

Huntley made an exceptionally bad decision to dive with the ball on third down and two yards out.

Wilson made an exceptionally great play to punch the ball out.

The ball falling into Hubbard’s hands was a lucky bounce.

But the ravens had a lucky bounce when the snap sailed over Huntley’s head and eventually bounced directly into his hands.

There are often bounces on both teams.
