The way the ball bounces

Just about the time I was going to post an item about the way the ball has been bouncing in the direction of the Patriots today, Terrell Suggs forced that fumble, Dwan Edwards fell on it in the end zone and it's a whole new ballgame.

I'm guessing, up to that point, Ravens fans were seeing it the way I was, especially after Kevin Faulk fumbled that punt and the ball bounced right into the hands of teammate Leigh Bodden. The play looked just like the Chris Carr fumble on the opening kickoff, except for the uniform of the player who fell on the ball.

By the way, Suggs was credited with a sack on the Ravens touchdown that gave him the all-time club record for sack yardage.

That was a key point in the game.

The D should have come back out fired up but instead NE drove the length of the field for a TD.

I don't like the lack of a pass rush even though there were 3 sacks. Brady had way too much time on too many occassions.

About Peter Schmuck

Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
