That play will go down in Ravens history.

[The Excellector]

Especially, if they win the Super Bowl. I know that I've been an advocate of opening up the passing offense more and I know that I get defensive about Joe Flacco, but Ray Rice won that game. That was one of the greatest plays that I've ever seen. That was all heart and desire.

This much I know. That play will not only be remembered as one of the greatest in ravens history but it was also be a defining moment for two franchises going in the opposite direction. That play pretty much puts a nail in the coffin for Norv Turner. And for the ravens it's hopefully a springboard to more offensive consistency on the road. We already knew they had heart. We just didn't expect to see it in such dramatic fashion.

I've seen lots of 4th and long situations being converted but never one that resulted from a check down to a RB who had to use his legs to get all 29 yards. Mind Blowing.

It should be called "The Checkdown".

[The Excellector]

Who knows, this might even be the springboard to Turner's OC career in Baltimore!!! The irony! The irony!

Ray Rice already came up with something better..He called it the "Diddle Diddle Ray Rice up the middle Play"

I don't know if I want Norv Turner coming here. That's a discussion for another thread.

He really didn't go up the middle (right flat) and I believe the "hey diddle diddle" was a Lidell Mitchell/Ted Marchibroada thing.

Regardless of where it came from that's what Rice said in his press conference

The Great Checkdown that got the first down.

I think the Ravens are the Packers and Giants. That team (despite our record) that floundered early but picked up steam in December and won it all.

Give me Jim Caldwell!

Let's also give lots of love to Boldin on that bone crushing block he had on Weddle. He ended up suffering a concussion on the play. I'm calling that play "the shot heard around the world"

It was a week for franchise defining plays. I am glad the Ravens defining moment was "4th and 29" and not "The Butt-Fumble."

LOL. Forgot about that one.

I think it was this morning on NFL AM, or it might have been last night on whatever they call that thing on NFL Network with Marshal Faulk, Chris Rose, Deion Sanders, etc. but they referred to it as THE PLAY in the NFL this season.

Ray Rice is special. There are a lot of good runningbacks in the NFL but no one else is making that play. Ozzie and Steve knew that when the decided that he was worth the huge pay day. The Ravens are lucky to have someone who is able to pick up the torch of greatness as Ray and Reed begin to put it down.

I think the Ravens are beginning to believe (I know, cue the Matrix) they might be this year's team of destiny - look at Rice and Harbs' comments. Given all the adversity they've faced this year and the crazy games as well as things slowly improving. The D's picking up steam and lost in yesterday's craziness, Flacco actually had a decent stat line on the road. Think the crossroads could be home vs Denver.

I think that was the greatest play in Ravens history, at least to the present. I'm hoping we don't need an even greater play in the future, but, being the NFL, I wouldn't bet against it.

The comeback in Seattle was great, and had great plays. Dilfer's strike to Stokely in the SB was great, but it lacked the suspense and heart-stopping drama- the clawing back from the abyss- that The Checkdown did.

I heard about the play but never saw it, so I went to nfl.com. watched the highlight, I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.

Hilarious indeed. I watched a few times myself. How uncoordinated do you have to be for that to happen. I guess Franchise...I mean Sanchise answered that question..smh
