I don't think that is an interception. So that'll be 2 dropped picks and 2 fumbles forced but not recovered by Seattle.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

So Chancellor figured out a snap count. Good sell job by the kicker

[browna]

The drop by Thomas hurts.
Incredible that Chancellor got over twice as far as snap count and no adjustment from Carolina.
Gano shanked the second one to avoid the block (just barely) because if Chancellor tips it, wouldn't have been a penalty.

Seattle's offense has to start moving the ball. Not many first downs, just a few big plays. Now those big plays are not flukes, it's one on one matchups that Carolina has to gamble with to stop Lynch and spy on Wilson, but more grinding football is required... and that is where they have been missing Zach Miller for over half the year.

Effen Ctv and their commercials. Missed a 3rd down play with the 150th Ford commercial of the night.

So annoying they let ctv take over all the channels showing the game...and then do it so poorly!

Int TD, now 31 10

Kam Chancellor has been the best player on the field

[PeteLFan]

Cam newton is not a very good qb.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Yikes...

Cam Newton and Ron Rivera are 0-26 when trailing by more than 3 points in 4th quarter.

[KelVarnsen]

Kam > Cam.

Apparently bill was pulling some shady stuff sending out 6 recivers and a tight end and splitting them out wide and declaring one as a linemen.

The Patriots? Bending rules? Surely not, no! Not them!?

And what's the problem? The player had to declare himself as ineligible and the refs make sure the defence knows. No different than using an extra OL as a TE.

[puffnstuff]

But from what I read, the refs didnt announce, or know, or tell the D who the ineligible guys were. And NE would quick snap when they had that personnel group. It was only 3 plays though.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I read somewhere that the ref even announced it over the PA (which I don't think they have to do) on at least one play.

But if you don't like what you're seeing our there take a timeout. That's what they're for

[Flabbibulin]

It was announced and collingsworth even pointed it out. The issue is they were declaring it very late, which was catching the d off guard.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Then take a timeout or realize that only the two outside guys on the line of scrimmage are eligible. Ravens simply got out coached.

The Ravens needed more than a FG.

He's talking about the safety situation.

If the Patriots give up two and then execute the free kick, the Ravens could have signalled a fair catch and then attempted a long unblockable free kick.

The Ravens weren't astute enough to even call a fair catch on the punt though so not likely their coaching staff would have thought that far ahead. It's amazing how fans sitting on their couches are often smarter than the professionals getting paid the big bucks when it comes to coaching stuff like this.

Just awful stuff there at the end.

[Frequitude]

Red John, you're a freakin oracle ATS.
