Deserves got nothing to do with it.  I would argue coming back down 14 twice, deserves the win.  But, I'm a Pats fan so.... heh


Well I'm neutral on them, and I'd agree with you. Baltimore just didn't deliver down the stretch. I think the game was called really fair both ways, and the Pats just made more plays.

That's a really tough call honestly, the problem with non-calls, or bad calls, is they come at pretty pivotal moments.  Like what should've been holding/illegal contact on Gronkowski, dude was all over Gronk well before the ball hit his hands.  There was actually another play can't remember position, but I'm pretty sure Revis got away with a hold too (Bad night for him all around, actually).  But, it's difficult to say how the correct call would've impacted the game, imo.  Either way, I think I'm more pissed about the GRonk hold, because that's a recurring theme of late (in the Colts game, I do believe a hold on Gronk should've overturned an interception).

Either way, the game was exciting as hell.  Really tired of Refs making themselves so integral to the game though (not arguing with some of the DPI calls against the Pats btw).

Going up by 14 is good too, although then the later 3rd quarter and the last one happened and the Patriots made the comeback. 

I think it's just one of those games where you can't really be disappointed in the outcome.  They both played really hard, and it literally came down to the last 4 seconds.  Pats just eked out a few more points and held on, defensively.
