game balls to:
-Vollmer and Solder..and to a lesser degree Kline, man I thought that was the end when he came in, but he was okay.
-Amendola and Edelman
-the DBs -- really good job in the 2nd half.
-Josh McD -- excellent playcalling throughout.
goats to:
-the DL, especially Chandler Jones who was awful. How about rotating him some with Ayers? Wilfork and Branch were a disappointment, too.
-whoever didn't make the adjustment to those swing passes the Ravens were throwing. Christ almighty.
-BB for not going for it on 4th down...ever. What happened to him?

Sounds like Browner is fine, and he was actually benched. Browner himself said that Ryan was a better matchup, which I think is kind of an awesome bit of humility.
Interesting. They sure seemed better with Ryan in there.

He did comment. He said no one has ever seen that before and the league will probably look into it, and the refs then told him they should have given him the chance to sub.
Yes, but he refused to comment on the ethical question, clearly insinuating he thought it was unethical.

On the Edelman pass, when BB was asked about it, I love how he not only talked about that Patten play, but he did it like the reporter should have remembered. BB said something like "What play? Oh. Well, we've done that before. Back in '01 with David Patten and Troy Brown."
He related back to a play 14 years ago like it was something they tried in week 5.
That was hilarious. Something like..."No, we've run that before -- I think it was in '01 with Patten and Brown." All in a "you dumbshit, don't you remember?" tone.
