Aftermath of Ravens' 23-20 loss to Patriots

How do you feel in the aftermath of the Ravens' 23-20 loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game?

  • Depressed. That was one of the most devastating losses I've ever seen.
  • Irritated. The Ravens were in a prime position to win and blew it late in the game.
  • Angry. Evans dropping that TD pass and Cundiff missing the field goal were unacceptable plays.
  • Disappointed but not devastated. The Ravens overachieved. Getting to the AFC title game exceeded expectations.
  • Hopeful. The Ravens came up just short this year, but I think they're a Super Bowl team next year.
