I didn't think it was a bad call. The Ravens throw long, that's the way they play, they're aggressive. Their (Kubiak) play calling was superb all game. On that interception, his receiver was several yards ahead of the cornerback, he had him beat, but the safety read the play well and crossed over quickly for the interception.
The bottom line is, the Patriots are the best organization in the NFL and their coaching staff is in another hemisphere. They rarely have the best personal in the league or even in their division but they always end up in the playoffs. It's amazing. They don't have a legitimate starting NFL wide receiver, their running game is inconsistent and they don't have a top running back, they have no pass rush, and it doesn't matter, they just win. And it's not just Brady. When Brady was injured years ago they won 9 games with a second string QB.
What the Patriots have accomplished during the Belichick era is astonishing. Some years they start the season with a horrible defense with rookies and cast offs that were cut from other teams and by the second half of the season they're shutting teams down in the 4th quarters.
