So Jim Harbaugh learned to be whining bitch from his big brother?

So? Bootlegs are deceptive. On-side kicks are deceptive. As a matter of fact what is not deceptive in football offense?

Even though I hate Cheaterchik and the Patriots, it was a legal play. Deception is the point. I was pulling for the Ravens. I am not a Ravens fan, either. I simply hate the Patriots more. ;-)

As an aside, the Patriots have not won a Super Bowl since Cheatergate.

as a ravens fan, i am dissappointed in harbaugh’s remarks... the defense should have stopped both plays.

harbaugh’s comments may have been directed at the officials who need to declare ineligibility to both teams... not just other officials.

that said, a very good game all the way to the final 4 seconds. i would have liked to have seen a ravens receiver break to the corner from the herd and catch the game winner, but it didn’t happen.

brady showed he was full of himself on several occasions

and i expect to see them trounced in the next game.

Harbaugh had no one to be “furious” with except himself and his own coaching staff.

If there’s any confusion amongst the defense of personnel they always have the option to call timeout.

.

A couple of decades ago someone invented the "Shotgun" formation.

It now looks like the "Belichick" formation has just been invented.

I don't like Belichick either, but he sounds innovative.

General Patton had a great deal of respect for Guederian and Rommel even though they were enemies.

I cannot stand Belichick.

But he came up with some clever and absolutely deceptive plays that fooled the Ravens.

Sorry, Harbaugh, but Belichick outsmarted you and you come off looking incompetent and sounding like a sore loser.

Baltimore fan here....it was clear during the game that Harbaugh was out-coached. It was painful to watch. They made no adjustments to their defense and Brady picked them apart when it mattered. You cannot play corners 10 yards off the NE receivers and expect to stop them. The front stifled the run, but they were eaten up by the quick throws for 7-15 yards.

But hey, at least they didn't get beaten by the big play. Hope they find a secondary in the off season. Why Flacco went for it all when the underneath was working, and there was plenty of time on the clock, is a mystery.

So is a play action pass or a draw, deception, that is. The NFL announced that all rules were followed.

Don’t follow football much, but this sounds like a legal play that defenders weren’t equipped to handle.

That’s pretty much their problem. The whole point of most plays is to deceive the opposition about what you’re doing.

General Hooker probably thought, that Lee and Jackson were deceitful at Chancellorsville.

And, of course, they were.

It is the kind of thing you have to pull out when you find yourself down by 14 for the second time in the game and need something to start a final turnaround. Has a short shelf life because of the very nature of it, it won’t work again.

It was legal but I bet the league addresses it as it slows the game down when the refs have to announce it and give the other team time to substitute.

The only question is whether the refs are obligated to share the ineligible receivers with the other team and to the booth, and if there is a time allotted to let opponents respond. If not, Harbaugh has no beef. If they are supposed to be informed and allowed time before the snap, he has an argument. We’ve all heard the refs turn on the mic for years and announce if a lineman is eligible. Here, the ball was hiked moments after the declaration to the ref. Good tactic is allowed as it happened, and we’ll probably see it a whole bunch next year.

Harbaugh is a sniveling snot sucker and his players were too stupid to figure out that the Patriots player designated by the referee as ineligible was not a receiver.

Belicheck or Daniels one hijacked this play straight from this years Alabama/LSU game.

Harbaugh has a bit of a beef. The defense is supposed to be notified and have a change to substitute if the offense makes a significant change in lineup or position. The Ravens were only given seconds to adjust.

That said, dude, you fell for it three times!
