| QUOTE (Sakuya @ Tuesday, Jan 24 2012, 05:31) | I'm sure Cundiff is getting it worse.
Really disappointed with this turn out. A near perfect rematch from 4 years back. Ho hum. Suppose I'll watch it, though. Feels like a wasted season, somehow. | Lee Evans deserves goat horns too. In that pressure situation, you HAVE to secure the ball. Can't let the defender knock it out of your hands. And let's be honest, Harbaugh f*d up too. From what I've heard, Cundiff usually watches the scoreboard for down and distance. The Patriots scoreboard operator had the scoreboard stating it was 2nd down. The Ravens teammates scrambled onto the field and Cundiff was off to the other side watching the scoreboard and he was rushed by teammates that's why they were so disorganized. I kept saying why isn't Harbaugh calling timeout!? Damn, you can't have those screw-ups with a Super Bowl on the line. There's no guarantee you'll get in this position next season. It could have easily been the Harbaugh Bowl if both Baltimore & SF handled their business. The look on Terrell Suggs face said it all. Those cats must be dying inside. The Ravens and their fans will be thinking about this for a long time.

Agreed. I felt really, really awful for those guys. Even as a die hard Cincy fan, I have always had a tremendous amount of respect for Baltimore's organization from Ozzie Newsome on down.
Dating back to the storied 2000 squad that laid waste to the league, their defense has always been littered with pro bowl talent. From Goose, Sam Adams and Mike McCrary to Ray and Peter Boulware, Chris McCallister and Rod Woodson...Newsome has stacked their D since the moment he was named GM back in 97(?). But at least those guys won it all.
Since then, they've always had top notch guys like Trevor Pryce, Bart Scott, Adalius Thomas, now Ngata, Suggs, etc. We're talking about legit game-changers here. But I really felt terrible for Ed Reed in particular. Dude has been cream of the crop for so long, and certainly one of the top 3 safeties to ever lace up the cleats. He deserves to get to the dance. And like you said, he may never get another chance. I remember a few years back after Baltimore got bounced from the playoffs, he talked about retiring...how it was tough to know you had the ability to win it all, and to get that close year after year...but still come up short. He's, hands down, my favorite player...so naturally I'd love for him stick around to take a shot at Krause's INT record. And hopefully, they can get him a trophy before he calls it a career.
