LMAO belichick

well the argument doesn't stand, of course you can stop one, but both of them is pretty much a mission impossible, that was my point.

And I disagree. I don't think Hernandez is nearly the match-up nightmare Gronk is. If the Ravens can stop him, they should be able to stop both. There are players in the league who can cover Hernandez one on one. He's just a big slot receiver, not too different from Boldin, although he's more athletic and somewhat bigger.

My argument stands just fine; it just hasn't been tested. I believe the Ravens can guard both. We know Seattle can.

They did a decent job stopping it in the 2011 AFCCG. That would be a better example imo.

If you look back at my first post about this, I mention both games. The Ravens stopped Gronk in the first game, and they stopped the middle passing to other players in the second game (by blocking Brady's vision and batting some balls). I don't think the Ravens would play Gronk the same way they'd play other receivers over the middle, which is why I am not keen on using the last game as an indicator of their future success against New England's tight-ends.

No, you didn't mention the 2011 AFFCG. You mentioned both games this year.

I'm not sure why you took a thread about the Patriots and tried to make it about how amazing and awesome the Ravens are. Go jack off somewhere else.

Sorry. Misread your quote. You're right, and I perhaps should have mentioned it. The way it ended makes me block the rest of the game from my memory, though.

I didn't know a thread led "LMAO Belichick" was one in which I had to agree that Gronk and Hernandez were unstoppable. I thought we were talking about the strengths and weaknesses of the team, and mentioning teams that have had success against them doesn't seem out of line to me. I didn't start talking about the Ravens to down the Patriots. I mentioned them as a team that has game-planned well against the Patriots' tight-ends. They didn't have to face both for a whole game, though. I would have brought up other teams, I only saw and handful of Patriots games and didn't feel en led to talk about those games.

You make it sound like I've been going around saying "the patriots suck the ravens are way better, lol". I've made no threads about the Ravens, and I don't really go to threads about other teams and bring up the Ravens being the best team or anything like that. I'm just talking football with fans of another team. Had the Ravens lost to the Patriots, I imagine we'd be having this same discussion, provided you still felt the need to make a thread downing New England's draft before it even ended.
