Heard a rumor that the Colts won a football game and that Donald Brown looked like Marcus Allen. Lol shenanigans!

You can't, really. We got embarrassed by the Chargers. No reason we should have lost that game. Though it does continue the pattern of losing to awful teams while beating good ones.

On another note: I'm in the Championship in my Fantasy league :D

id be in the championship in the one im playing for money on if the 49ers scored touchdowns instead of field goals... i needed akers to score no more than five points and he decides to score 8

Damn, could even see the flash from the transformer blowing up from in the stadium

Yeah dude looks like a freak.

Broncos (@Buffalo) can lock up the West with a win and Oakland (@KC) loss.

Orton finally has his chance to get the Broncos in the playoffs :lol:

I can laugh all I want. The Steelers had the same chance the Ravens had (to lock up the #1 seed/bye/home field) and they choked even harder than the Ravens did. I actually could see them losing to the Rams if they play like they did on monday.

Yes, because losing to the #2 team in the NFC while your star QB is hobbled is exactly the same thing as losing to the #10 team in the AFC that has been decimated by injuries. It's not choking when a #2 seed loses to it's fellow #2 seed, however a top 5 team losing to one in the bottom half of the league? Yeah, that's a fucking choke

The Chargers are 21-1 in december games over the last 5 years and they've won 3 straight...they wouldnt have been "a bottom half team" if it hadn't been for injuries. And they still have a shot to make the playoffs, and with the offense they have, if they manage to get in, they will probably beat the snot out of the Steelers just the same as they did the Ravens. And if that happens, I am aware it would be likely that the Ravens would play them in the playoffs, but it would be in Baltimore.

The 49ers haven't played a meaningful game to them in December in 10 years and they've looked like crap over the last month outside of the shutout vs St Louis. And if Worthlessberger is hurt is the card Steelers fans are playing, then they have bigger problems because they won't win crap with Charlie Batch at QB.

You're right, wouldn't have been. But they are, so what could've or should've been means nothing. Their shot at the playoffs is as real as the Eagles' shot, it's possible, but come the fuck on. Their shot is the Wildcard, because even if Denver, Oakland and SD all finish 8-8, Denver owns the tiebreaker. Basically their "hopes" require Oakland, New York, Kansas City, Tennessee and Cincinnati to ALL lose out. Not gonna happen

wtf does meaningful games in December have to do with how SF played Monday? SF and PIT were playing for the exact same shit, a top seed and a first round bye. Motivation for either side isn't a question. And just because they've played like "crap" recently doesn't make them a bad team. By that definition GB shitting the bed against KC for one week makes them a bad team

Pittsburgh was playing for Home Field Advantage throughout the playoffs if the standings stayed the way they were. So, they we're actually playing for more than SF but just fucked up.

Well, whatever, Im reading forums and such where Steelers fans post such things as:

so obviously Steelers fans are feeling not too good about things...

because they're not nearly as delusional as Ravens fans

well, not all Ravens fans. just you

That's a whole lot of pressure you're giving to that one Steelers fan; having him represent the entire fan base and all.

Truth is, a whole lot of things went our way Monday night but it isn't exactly like the Steelers were handicapped beyond repair. Ben still threw for over 300 yards, despite not feeling ready to compete. Harrison didn't play the game but neither did our best linebacker Patrick Willis.

I will say though, the power outages probably benefited us more than they did Pittsburgh because Ben had to wait long periods of time after he had just gotten his legs all warmed up to compete. Waiting that long to play again can't be good when you're in the cold and you have an injury that you need to keep warmed up so it doesn't tighten up. I felt kinda of bad for Ben at the end of the game. He threw for over 300 yards whilst injured and had almost nothing to show for it,

At least the Steelers lose to respectably decent teams, unlike, you know the Ravens.

Ravens have the 2nd highest Strength of Victory % (combined winning % of teams beaten) in the NFL at .506 and I will say they might as well be #1 since the Rams and their 2 wins are #1 at .536. Buffalo and Indianapolis are the only other teams above .500. And yes, obviously had they beaten the Jaguars the SOV would be lower (if they beat the chargers/titans/seahawks, they're all .500 right now so it wouldn't affect it)

Pittsburgh is .450, New England is .448, Denver is .446, NY Jets are .402 and Houston is .400.

over in the NFC, SF is .448, Green Bay is .440, New Orleans is .422, Dallas is .393, Detroit is .389 and Atlanta is .365

The Ravens have beaten 1/3 of the playoff field if it were set today already this season (SF/NYJ/Houston/Pittsburgh twice). The Packers have beaten 4 teams (Denver/New Orleans/Atlanta/Detroit twice) as well.

LOL watch espn and hear all the analysts that "dont trust" flacco

Are you a moron? Someone says the Ravens lose to Bad teams and your response to refute that is that the teams they do beat are good? OK....Means nothing when they lose to shit shows like Jacksonville. And any stat that has the BILLS as a high ranked percentage is most likely a fucking dud of a stat.

outdide of the 49ers, your only other quality wins come from your own division.

Seriously....OH WELL THEY HAVE THIS MADE UP STUPID IRRELLAVANT STAT THAT IS HIGH, WITH SUCH TEAMS AS 1 WIN INDY, 2 WIN RAMS AND 7 GAME LOSING STREAK BILLS.

Keep crunching those numbers.

:( Jags

Houston was with Schaub and they're a division winner and probably gonna win 12 games.

The Jets game was in primetime and they're a wild card potential 10 win team.

Its actually used as a tiebreaker so it isn't totally irrelevant, and it was why the Ravens would have been the #1 seed over the Patriots had they finished with identitcal records..and is why Im holding out hope that the Pats might slip up vs a halfway decent Dolphins team this week.

How about the Seahawks? How about Jacksonville? (:()

Seahawks are a 7-7 team now just like the Titans, with a slim shot at making the playoffs.

Funny how everyone complains about those two losses and yet they're .500 teams right now along with SD. The only bad loss was the Jacksonville game.

No way the Ravens should have lost to the Seahawks there. Seahawks are very one dimensional team that relies much too heavily on the run. The Ravens have an incredible defense and stopping them should not have been a problem. Marshawn Lynch went over 100 yards in that game and he was playing injured.

Come on, guy.

I feel like I should actually support the Ravens and everything they stand for but I just can't bring myself to do it. The problem definitely lyes with Droford. They are a very similar team to the 9ers

-Subpar QB
-Vicious defense
-Big run game
-Harbaugh

Droford is to blame. DEATH TO THE RAVENS.

Dolphins play at New England this week and Miami always struggles a lot up north in the winter. Been like that even during the Marino years.

Brady's bad record with Miami usually involves the games being in Miami or Miami lucking out and playing in New England when its warm.

Buffalo probably gives a tougher fight mostly for pride reasons and to see if they can prevent New England starting another 14+ win streak against them.

Narcissusesis feelings on supporting the Ravens

Question: What do Packers fans do after the team loses a perfect season?



Football is serious business in Green Bay.

nothing about how the Ravens beat them? Disapointing.

I feel pretty condident in saying the Ravens can beat any of the other teams in the AFC and the only team that really scares me right now in the NFC is the Saints. I think the Ravens could stop the Packers, but I have a hard time seeing them being able to stop the Saints. All the other teams in the NFC are garbage or the Ravens have already beaten once (49ers).

Droford you would do the same thing if you had lamps in your house.

or if you were ever around other people

I handled the loss to the Titans considerably well since I was sitting behind 3 rather obnoxious Titans fans who made it a point to turn around and point out to me exactly what was happening every time the Titans did something.

well judging by your posts, you do need a bit of football education

In the NFL the difference between being a 6 win team and an 11 win team can be so minuscule it's just really retarded to do things like "power rankings" or compare losses from months earlier. Last year in like week 13 or 14 the Patriots penetrated the Jets bunghole repeatedly on Monday Night football. It was an embarrassment. Clearly the Patriots were a far superior team that night. And then the Jets beat them in the playoffs. I could find dozens more similar examples.

Ja the Ravens have been one of the better AFC teams in recent history based on continous playoff appearances and a decent amount of playoff wins. Anyone who ends up being "shocked" if the Ravens make/win the Superbowl was also probably "shocked" at whatever the latest political scandal was. And anyone who is "certain" the Ravens are going to fuck shit up in January was also probably "certain" that some nigger would never be president


The Packers have clearly demonstrated they are the team to beat this year and they just lost to Cromeo's Chiefs. Shit happens. Jesus.

That being said can't wait for the Jets to back into the 6 seed (again), luck out with a winnable wild card round game (again) presumably at Houston, then play the game of their season at New England (again) only to fall just short of the SuperBowl (again). Unless the Ravens also make it to the conference championship then Baltimore has no shot because Flacco is a choooookeeeee lolollololoolollolololololololoololoolololooloolololololo
