Patriots vs Ravens: The Game that Killed Twitter
NEPD Staff Writer: Doug Kyed
Wow, talk about one of the all time greats. The Patriots are going to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis.
The Pats might not have played their best game, but in the end, they got it done in the style they have all year: bend, but don’t break.
The team that never seems to be able to block kicks, and never seems to get the benefit of missed kicks finally did it.
Here are some very quick hit thoughts on the game:

After rewatching the Patriots-Broncos game from earlier in the year, here are some observations I made about how Tim Tebow played against the Patriots – including a look at every incompletion in the game.

Bill Belichick has either lost his mind, or he’s somehow become an even greater defensive mind this year.
It’s either one or the other. Let me explain.

What we saw on Saturday was enough to convince me that this team will be good enough to compete for a Super Bowl. I’m a natural optimist, but when a team can come back from as many issues as the Dolphins game presented the Patriots with, that might mean we have a special team on our hands.
Here are my six keys to victory over the Dolphins on Christmas Eve:

It was no Christmas Carol, but if Charles Dickens wrote this game, it would be called “A Tale of Two Halves.”
At this point, we’re used to the Patriots starting off slow, but we’re not exactly used to the Patriots starting out slow for an entire half. That first half was by far the worst we’ve seen the Patriots offense play. I put very little blame on the Patriots defense. They didn’t have time to get off the field with all the three and outs Brady and co. were supplying.
Here’s some observations I made during the game:

So was it worth all the hype? Did this game change anyone’s perspective on Tim Tebow?
The answer to both questions is probably no, but it was a fun game to watch as a Patriots fan.
