End Of The Season

Part of the bittersweetness of being a sports fan are the if-onlies. One more strike, one less injury, one better call, one better bounce, and the outcome would have been different. Yet not always. If Wes Welker is healthy – if the Pats contain that first run – if Tom Brady throws fewer interceptions – I think Baltimore still grinds out that win. In a 24-20 4th quarter a fluke might have allowed the Patriots to steal a victory, but it would be a steal. The Ravens played better.
