Baltimore is facing a challenge that is statistically unlike anything it has seen this year. Perhaps the best blueprint for beating the Patriots’ pass offense was showcased by the Pittsburgh Steelersin Week 8, when they played a lot of press coverage and stayed in nickel even when the Patriots put three tight ends on the field. They held Brady to just 198 passing yards and sacked him three times.
Surprisingly, the two teams that had the best games against New … Read More »
Some thoughts 7 hours after the game:
Where are the Ed Reed naysayers now? What a tremendous game for #20. He just seems so physically susceptible. Ed was in the right place almost every crucial play. Apparently, his injury on the last play of the game was nothing serious. “Ed Reed is one of the greatest safeties to ever play this game.”—Ray Lewis
Everyone including myself said a rookie QB can’t come into M&T and defeat the Ravens. TJ didn’t … Read More »
Houston has enjoyed a breakthrough season capturing its first ever division title despite losing 12 players for the season, including its first two quarterbacks. It’s too much to ask the Texans to go on the road – with a third-string rookie quarterback – and beat playoff-tested Baltimore and its elite defense. Never before in their 10- year franchise history have the Texans won a playoff road game. Heck, they’ve never even played in a postseason road matchup. Baltimore is 18-1 … Read More »
WIZARDS HEAD COACH FLIP SAUNDERS
“There really is not much to say, disappointment, embarrassment. I do not know if words can explain. We are trying to find out what we can do to get them going. I thought Trevor Booker played with passion and played hard. We have to get everybody playing like that.”
Can you hear the whispers. This was a disaster today. Listen I always have been passionate about the Wizards but today was unbelievable. I agree that … Read More »
Some thoughts:
How could any one have thought that Cinci could win this game. They could not defeat a decent opponent all year. Cinci only got into at the playoffs after a myriad of chocks by several teams including the Jets.
Here’s why I am happy with the Houston win. I firmly believe that any of the 3 potential opponents could not beat the Ravens next week. But who wants to play the Steelers. Yes I believe we would have … Read More »

The Ravens never do it easily. Just when you thought it was over, it wasn’t. As expected the Bengals were throwing to the end zone as the game ended. Ladarius might have gotten away with a little interference at the end but so what.
Ray Rice was incredible as always. How could the entire NFL pass him almost twice. Ricky Williams filled in admirably as he passed the 10,000 yard plateau.
The key play of the game went to 55 … Read More »
Judgment Day Deliberations
#1 Terrell Suggs vs Andrew Whitworth since 2009 when Whitworth was moved to left tackle Tsizzle has but 1 sack against the Bengals. The last 2 weeks Suggs has been virtually shut out by Jared Gaither and Joe Thomas. No sacks=no victory.
Torrey Smith will key the offense today. 165 yards and 1 TD in the first game—The Bengals have no answer for my favorite Raven. With Boldin probably out, the burden will fall on 82.

John Wall was 1-9 with 6 points. There is trouble at the phone booth.
— Washington coach Flip Saunders got Roger Mason involved early Friday against Milwaukee. One problem: Saunders forgot to put him on the active list.
The Wizards were whistled for a technical foul in the first quarter after Mason entered the game despite being ineligible to play.
Mason checked in for Jordan Crawford with 3:27 remaining and made a baseline jumper seven seconds later. However, during a … Read More »
I like our chances. A lot!
Why?
3. Reasons
1—Cincinnati has only beaten 1 team over .500
2—Cincinnati has no answer for Ray rice
3—Suggs will dominate this game
