Project 365: Day # 134 - Sunday, January 22, 2012

I seriously have very little to say in this blog entry but the fact that I was madly disappointed and let down to a point where I was just speechless. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when the Raven's field goal kicker Billy Cundif missed a 32-yard field goal attempt. The score was 20 to 23 with the New England Patriots in the lead and it was (if I am correct) about literally 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter and the only thing we could do was to kick the field goal since we were in pretty good range and tie the game so it would go into the most anticipated and stressful quarter in football. Overtime. I was confident either way if the game turned out to go into overtime because we would at least have 50/50 chance of getting the ball. But I was also worried about that situation only because the rules in overtime are completely different compared to a regular season game. But when the ball was kicked and made an askew movement wide left, my heart just sank and thinking to myself that there has o be something that we could do even if there was some way we could run the ball from a kick return in the final 10 seconds, but it was already too late. Just looking at Ray Rice's and the other players' faces after that was truly heartbreaking. But it doesn't make a difference to me because when you think about it, Joe Flacco definitely out played Tom Brady and he knows it. So in my eyes, we already won that game. Therefore rather than people saying "the Patriots beat the Ravens" which is technically true, but as far as how we played, we did beat the Patriots.
