What the fuck, Baltimore?

What the fuck, Baltimore?

This damn game isn’t over yet? Geezus. The Ravens so don’t deserve to win.

Oh, ok, they just wait until the final 2 minutes to make it a ballgame.

Sarkus · 2011-10-24T20:52:20.000Z

Or not, thanks to that “onside kick,” disaster.

Omniscia · 2011-10-24T20:54:31.000Z

Man, I wish I had Scobee on my fantasy team this week.

divedivedive · 2011-10-24T20:55:51.000Z

Yes, I appear to have given Baltimore too much credit. Bummer.

Man, the AFC North sucks this year.

Omniscia:

Man, the AFC North sucks this year.

They actually have pretty easy schedules since their AFC division matchup this year is the AFC South and the NFC opponent is the NFL West. At this point those are the two weakest divisions in the league.

Which makes this Ravens loss so bad.

Omniscia · 2011-10-24T21:02:02.000Z

Maybe so, but they all look like paper tigers.

Omniscia:

That’s true of the AFC in general, though. Houston has key injuries and shouldn’t have lost the Raider game. New England wins but everyone seems to agree they have defensive issues. The Jets are inconsistent, as are the Chargers, Raiders, and Bills. Then we have the Chiefs. So I’ve just listed all the contenders in the AFC outside of the AFC North.

Ravens season ticket holder since the beginning. Probably the worst game I’ve watched. That was awful. AWFUL.

What is with the Ravens? They looked like such a powerhouse when they whupped up on Pittsburgh, but they’ve had two pretty silly losses since then.

You just can’t read too much into that win they had over the steelers. They had prepared all offseason for that game, it was like their superbowl. And the steelers just came out flat. The week 9 matchup will be much more telling.

Apparently at the end of the Miami-Denver fucktastrophe TV cameras picked up Sparano shouting at a linesman “If I don’t call a timeout, I’m (sunk) and now I’m getting fired, OK?” all while pointing up at the owner’s box.

If the season ended today Miami would have the #1 overall pick and they only have one team with a losing record left on their schedule - namely the Eagles.

I still have a feeling the Dolphins will accidentally beat someone but I won’t be surprised if it’s only one win. Seven touchdowns in six games, three of which came in the first game of the season, means your defence has to be essentially perfect to get a win.

Right now I have my hopes pinned on Grossman/Beck doing Miami a favour in three weeks.

Lorini · 2011-10-25T07:48:16.000Z

I’m fairly sure the Giants will lose to them. Fairly sure.

Nah, the Seahawk game is still fresh so that won’t happen.

Ha! Just mark my words…

My money is a quasi-surprise win sometime after Sporano is fired.

The Colts, however. If they don’t beat the Jags at home, they go oh-fer.

Turns out it was all about the sleep apnea, according to JaMarcus.

Purple Drank is the doctor-recommended cure for sleep apnea. It all makes sense now! Nine out of ten doctors also say your risks are reduced if you weigh at least 290 pounds as a quarterback.
