goal, well within field-goal range. >> the ravens did almost everything right. the offense scored enough points. the defense played tough against tom brady. allowing 23 points as about as good as you can do. 832-yard field-goal attempt would have sent it into overtime. who knows what happens then? the kicker is usually normally really good. 32 yards is a very easy field- goal to make. he should have made it. a heartbreaker. >> you saw the look on his face. >> every field-goal kicker, when it comes down to this? the great ones make it, and some did not. they can make the clutch field goals in super bowl time, and some guys are never letting down the one they mess and you do not win a super bowl.

that's what happens with the kicker. you have to make it in these circumstances. it defines your career. exactly. you feel for the guys who never have had a chance to win a super bowl. and they could have had it. >> i think lowell melser is live. you're with the heartbroken fans right now? >> i have someone talking in my ear. can you say that again, donna? >> i'm sure you are with heartbroken fans. >> heartbroken -- here is what it right now. >> we had that. >> watcher language. >> we had that one, man. we really did. >> you heard a collective sigh when he missed that field goal.

>> many of us, and like many of you, had are jerseys on standby to celebrate the victory, but it's not to be. >> not ending anyone was expecting because the ravens played a super game. >> i cannot believe how many times we went over how they're going to win. never once did we think they would lose because billy cundiff would miss. no one expected this. credit to flacco. he missed the one bomb that would have been huge, but against the patriots you will not play the perfect game. he did his job. he got them in position. >> and in the last minute of the game, marched them down the deal to get into field-goal position. >> that's what a great quarterback to do. that is what we will measure him

by. question for franciotti is up in foxboro and i know you were sat with everyone. heartbreaking. >> it's unbelievable that the game ended this way. right now inside the stadium is a celebration that, quite frankly, was meant for us. it's so sad that it's not. the ravens play their hearts out. but you want to the game, you heard them give a big "o" during the national anthem. i think it was said bass last weekend when day one against the texans, there's a right way, there's a wrong way, and there's a ravens way. everyone watching tonight felt sick to their summit. there's not a single ravens and reduce it to their stomach. there's not a single ravens fan watching this that were not on their feet screaming trying to

will the ravens to win this game, pacing back and forth, going outside to get fresh air, bending over at the knees, stomach in knots. when you watch the last 15 seconds of this game and you saw the past that was in complete and you knew it came down to billy cundiff -- you knew he was going to make it. there was no doubt in your mind. and then he did not? how does that happen. every ravens and asks that question. how does that happen? but it did. our fans were here. they made the trip. they did exactly what they needed to do. the ravens did a good job, and we will get them next year. >> and they were disappointed because you put your heart and soul in all of that. you have to say, even with the disappointing loss as a surprise at the end, it was a great ride this season and it was a great game to watch.

it was exciting all the way. everybody got their money's worth even though it did not end the way people wanted. >> it's just hard. ray lewis and ed reed are at the heart of this defense and do not know how many more times they will be an opportunity to get in this position. he wants is another one. he wants to leave on top. reid has given it all, arguably the greatest defensive back, a sure-fire hall of famer who would like to have a super bowl ring. this was probably his closest chance, a chance to go into overtime in the afc championship. >> right now, as fans, there will be a morning. . there's a tremendous sense of disappointinment. i had my ed reed jersey. i will proudly wear it in

defeat, but i would rather have worn it in victory. >> to have to be proud of what they accomplished. it was a great season. >> okay, that looks great. were you profitable last month? how much money is in your checking account? have the browns paid you for their addition yet? your finances are scattered all over the place. mm-hmm. what are your monthly expenses? you keep your receipts in plastic baggies? seriously?

was like? >> totally crazy. and when it comes loose, or draw, the ravens are my team and they played a great game. we'll we'll get them next year. >> what was your reaction when it happened? >> total disappointment. to come that far into the game and to lose it at that point was total devastation, but they are a strong team. we are totally behind them. and we will come back next year. >> this bar cleared out pretty quick. there were a lot more people and now they have all just disappeared. >> some of them bursting to watch harbaugh for the forty- niners game. there's a lot of disappointment. you have to move on, and we will. >> thanks. we appreciate it. that wraps up the mood of the

fans here. a lot of the fans at home that were watching, too. that will do it for us live. back to you in the studio. >> thanks, michelle then. disappointed fans a matter where you go. >> "nightly news" will be on wbal + and we will continue ravens coverage. >> wns
