Imagine that. 4 turnovers and we lost by 7. Jesus we just do not have good play calling. Why, with two minutes remaining, two time-outs, on the Raven's side of the field with Arian Foster on our side do we put the game on a third stringers arm? Namely, one who's progression seems to not exist. It's either Andre Johnson triple covered, Andre Johnson double covered, or Andre Johnson with a guy six inches in front of him.

Oh well, at least we didn't get blown out. Wish Mr. Dan Dierdorf could have popped the Raven's cock out of his mouth for a few seconds while calling that game. Guy seriously can't say anything positive about the Texans at any point in time.

If this is the best the Raven's can do, I don't think they'll put up much of a fight in Pat-land. Joe Flacco looked terrible today and it's pretty well known if you shut out Ray Rice you can beat this team.

So glad that the Packers lost. A pox on their houses.

@Oldmanwinter

I know, right?! What do you think about next week's games? I'd love to see the Niners win it all, but the sleddin'll be tough..

@missypissy

Yeah, that was rough. Sorry, dude. If Yates just took his time though..

@Mr_Mustache

It's to easy for me to pin it all on Yates. He is a rookie and a third stringer forced into action. You could tell he was uncomfortable, even if the Ravens never got to him, because he constantly made up his mind to throw to Andre before looking.

Jacoby Jones, however, is impossible to excuse. Guy just can't ever step up his game when it's time to. When Andre went down, we expected him to step it up. He didn't. When he needs to return a punt, he fumbles it at the 1 yard line. That was huge. More so than Yates INTs, because it was an easy 7 points. The way our Defense was playing it made all the difference.

I hope we get the Pats and the Niners, to be honest. I think that would be a fun game. If that was the best the Ravens could muster at home, I don't seem them doing anything against the Pats (as much as NFL.com likes to pin that game as a "defensive rout") and I really hope the Niners beat the Giants. I don't want to see a repeat of the 18-1 Super Bowl.

That would be..the worst.. Well, almost as bad as repeat of the "Defense Wins Championships" Superbowl..

Man. What a painful week of football. Goats galore.

How about you guys? Thoughts?

You see the kicking consultant for the Ravens is saying the Pats cheated by having the score board one down off on the final play? Man, that's hilarious. Says a lot of strange things about the team. They had a time out left, correct? No-one on the side-lines knows what down it is without a scoreboard? Their kicker lives under a rock until someone rings the bell?

Overall, not that excited about this game. They can keep bringing up the storyline on "the end of the perfect season" but who really cares? I did put $40 down on this game though, as part of a quarter-by-quarter score bet thing. Have the right number at the end of a quarter and win $125. Figure I have a 1/12.5 shot of winning four times so when I lose I can feel worse.

@missypissy

Oh, "Squares?" I like those. I've got it a few times. Do you like to group your picks together in a huge block, claim one entire column, or just spread 'em around?


What about that San Fran game? Gosh, how terrible. I felt awful for my dad (a Niners fan). He was so quiet during the whole game from the other room; we thought at one point he was sleeping or worse..and then he clapped for a good play, haha. But yeah...when are the Niners going to be back realistically? They probably got there luckily this year, ya know? Can the NFC West give them trouble next year at all? Is there ANY chance? The Rams have Jeff Fisher now, too. I'd like to see them get back there, but man..the climate does not suit them now. Sad they didn't make it..

@Mr_Mustache

I don't think anyone from the NFC West will realistically challenge them unless one team gets a few game changers. I know Seattle worked on getting that running game going, but we still need a QB and some weapons on the outside. Arizona I think put to much bank on Kolb (like the Chiefs did with Cassel). Then the Rams need Bradford to stay healthy and to basically do a 180 in every other category.

I only bought two squares which I spread out. Everyone else was doing 1 or 2 so I felt confident in it.

@missypissy

Only two squares? I end up with like 14, haha. One column or row, and a block of 4 somewhere else. Love those 7/7s and 0/0s!

BORING SUPER BOWL. Ah well, there's always next year. Now off to watch Murray totally destroy Djoko.

Please?

@-JKR-

Murray / Djoko? What is that? Enlighten us!

If its people fighting, OldManWinter likes that stuff (I think??).

Hmm. UFC on FOX? Anyone watching tonight?

Tennis. The final of the Aussie Open is tonight at 3:30AM. Nadal vs. Djokovic. I will cheer 110% for Raphael Nadal.

@-JKR-

I saw the ladies final. It was alright. And late. And I was feeling a little frisky. They've got some slammin' bods.

Do you guys follow women's tennis, too? Sharapova having some problems, eh? I can't remember; is she good? I know she's popular, but isn't Anna Kournikova NOT as good as she is popular? Kinda like Dale Jr in NASCAR?

@-JKR- @Mr_Mustache

Gyah. Finally you talk of Aussie sports. And it's freaking tennis.

I hate you all.

@Shadowlink

Did you watch the Super Bowl? I know there is that other Super Bowl thread, but yeah?

@Mr_Mustache

Nah, I don't think it got much coverage here. It was probably shown on Fox Sports. I don't have that .

Not that I would know what was going on anyway. I need my American Football served up to me movie-style, like The Longest Yard

Nobody cares, but NASCAR starts this weekend. Yessssssssssssssssss.

Baseball is around the corner. Yesss.

@Mr_Mustache

Naaaas......caar?
