Ray Rice made one of the best...

**mythoughts** · 11-25-2012, 07:11 PM

...individual efforts of all-time on that 29 yard First Down !
Now, will ESPN give that play more than 3 seconds of air time ?

I don't know about all time, but definitely this season.
Joe may not be elite, but Ray is.

Don't forget the awesome block by Boldin. He wiped out two would-be tacklers.

I think he got away with a clip there but YES Boldin sealed the deal there.
No way Rice makes that first down without him.

A crushing block, a sight to behold!

yep, the cutback and then the block could wind up being the key to a first round bye ......

Hines Ward would have been proud.

Nah! It was not a clip so Hiney would not recognize a good block.

**Kawalimus** · 11-25-2012, 09:16 PM

That is a play you'll hear about 20 years from now.

Doubt that since it had to do WITH the play and not away from it.

That was my initial thought.

After watching the replay, it sure seemed that Boldin came from a front-wise angle (if the potential tackler was heading at 12 O'Clock, Boldin came from between 2 and 3 O'Clock). Furthermore, he had his head in front of the tackler's body when he made contact.

I can't believe how long it took for the officials to actually place the ball after the Rice run.

That was a ridiculous amount of time to sort out the issue.

Forget the response, that it matters not as long as you get it right. These officials are professionals and no way it should have taken so long.

hell of a run, but me thinks the Ravens got away with one there. he was short of the 1st down marker.

Boldin made that key block that allowed Ray to go the final 10 yards or so for the 1st down!!!!!!!!! That was key. If he doesn't make that block, Ray comes up 10 yards short.

Check the film!

Yes, ESPN gave it more than 3 seconds of air time.... it got up to 5 seconds.

It was close, but I think it wasn't a clip. If it was a clip the refs would've easily spotted the hardest hit clip in the league so far this season.

No one could miss that hit!
