You cant win it all if you dont make the playoffs.
and hey, the Ravens have the best record of any team over the last 4 years. Not the Patriots, Saints, Colts, Packers, Cowboys or anyone else. |

But Mark Sanchez has made more AFC title games.
Therefore, Mark Sanchez > Joe Flacco. |

Nope. Sanchez was 2 in his first 2 years. Flacco can never = Sanchez.

Who the fuck cares? Ryan doesn't have a great defense to support him during shitty games like Flacco does.
And hell, if I were a betting man, I'd be picking the Giants to win on Sunday. I'd love to be wrong, but I'm not blind to the Falcons' inconsistencies. Matt Ryan still had a career year this year in his first year with the offense (mostly) under his control. The Falcons' defense, not offense, will likely be the deciding factor in their playoff games. I trust Matt and Co. to put up points. The only reason they might not put up enough points is, like I said before, a coaching decision. The Falcons are almost guaranteed to run ball control, while teams like the Packers and Saints will just score well past them. And Matt Ryan can't throw a deep ball well to save his life. That doesn't help much either. |

Matt Ryan has lost to the two eventual NFC Super Bowl Teams in the wild card round..
should be good news for Giants fans (and for my dream rematch of Ravens/Giants in the Super Bowl) |

No shit, but my point stands. A season that doesn't end in a Super Bowl win is technically a losing season, playoff appearance or not

Yes, because that's exactly what I meant. Division titles don't mean a damn thing other than being good for playoff seeding, so let's not act as if it's meaningful otherwise

Im kinda nervous, Ive endured two torturous victories for the opposing team in the playoffs. And after the Saints I really think we're not gonna show up, but I got faith and I think those defeats will fuel us past the suck ass Giants Falcons win by 2 leggoooooo

No problem at all with Dilfer. I wish they had kept him as the QB, can't believe they let him go after winning the Super Bowl. Him going and Jamal Lewis getting hurt made 2001 terrible although they did still make the playoffs.
One of the reasons why Ravens fans like Flacco so much is because he's infinitely better than 99% of the QBs the Ravens have had. The only other guy who may have been better was McNair, and he got them a Division title and a bye before that awful loss to the colts in 06, but he was also past his prime. Dont even want to get started on Kyle Boller, who had the most wins at QB before Flacco (20). The Jeff Blake/Chris Redman/Kyle Boller/Anthony Wright years (02-05) were horrible, the only reason they won the division in 03 was because of Jamal's 2066 yard season. |

Are the Detroit Lions going to the Super Bowl a sign of the Appocalypse? The only other team that could be would be the Browns but I think that is more like a curse on the city of Cleveland since no one in Cleveland wins.
I think I will root for the Lions in the NFC. Plus I took them +11 vs the Saints. lol |

Bill Simmons doesn't really like the Falcons or the Ravens because they are really inconsistent and hard for him to bet on.

Detroit is 0-5 vs NFC playoff teams while the Bengals are 0-6 vs AFC playoff teams. The only real difference is the Lions faced more offensive-dominate teams for those losses while the Bengals faced defensive-dominate teams. |

Even if you count the Ravens as an expansion team, they won the Super Bowl in 5 years. Arizona Diamondbacks won the World Series in four years.

They're not expansion. They did not increase the number of teams in the league or have a draft to fill the Raven's team. The Texans are an expansion team.

Under the deal with the NFL, the expansion Cleveland Browns team that came in 1999 got to keep all of the Cleveland Browns history, so yes technically the Ravens were an expansion team.

Oooo, his season stats. How about his total playoff stats? Games: 7 Yards: 1050 YPG: 150 TDs: 4 INTs: 7 *Only 2 games with a rating over 80 *2 games with a rating under 20 *4 games with a completion % of 50 or less Those are essentially Tebow's numbers, yet you'll hypocritically criticize Tim's stats in a win but worship Joe's ability to do enough. And you wonder why no one gives a shit about Flacco. He may be decent enough to get them to the playoffs, which honestly hasn't been that hard to do in the AFC recently, but he's only going to completely fuck up in the playoffs and be carried by his running game and defense |

And the only player from the Browns era that had any impact on the Ravens was Matt Stover. In fact after two years when they moved to the new stadium I think Stover was the only player left that had played for the Browns. |

I am not. The NFL officially recognizes that the Ravens never existed in any form prior to 1996. You can get a Cleveland Browns media guide and look up the history and it goes all the way back to the 50s to todays current team but it just doesn't include 1996-1998.

Droford, the Browns relocated to Baltimore. Art Modell moved the team to Baltimore and it was a huge and ridiculous controversy. It is still frowned upon to this day.
What are you talking about? |
