Why are the reactions to ONE Ravens loss to a DIVISION RIVAL by a FIELD GOAL so massive? Was it a bad loss? Yes, every team has them. No reason to hit the panic button on the season. Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen this much hate on the Ravens.

“The Ravens are Maryland’s junior varsity team. They should thank the Redskins everyday for that SB they won in 2000 because if the Redskins don’t embarrass them that season in FedEx, Tony Banks is never pulled out for Trent Dilfer. Stephen Davis trampled over the 2000 Ravens defense. I laugh when people say that unit is one of the greatest in NFL history. Anyways, the holy trinity of Morris, Garçon and RGIII will be too much for the Ravens. Redskins win 35-13.”

I will take it you were probably dropped when you were little. Thats why the Ravens have gone to the playoffs the past 4 years, are 9-3, and are 1 win away from making it to the playoffs 5 straight years. Tell me when is the last time the Redskins made the playoffs? Yeah I can’t even answer that because its been so long…you my friend, are a complete idiot

Brady is the best QB in history. Belichek is the best coach in history. Cleveland could win with them. Enjoy Pats fans. When they’re gone, Pats will never be heard from again.

“with Adrian Peterson in the backfield, there’s never a reason to pass the ball.”

I would add a small change…

with Adrian Peterson and Christian Ponder in the backfield, there’s never a reason to pass the ball.

I would add another small change…

with Adrian Peterson and Christian Ponder in the backfield, there is never a reason, nor the ability to pass the ball.

I would add another small change….

with Julius Peppers and Henry Melton in the backfield, there is never an opportunity to pass the ball.

Bears 28, Vikings 17…AP gets his 100 yards, but in the end Cutler-to-Marshall is the difference.

it won’t be the end of the world if the Texans lose this game. NE needs a win more than Houston. In fact it would be difficult for either team to win both games assuming they meet again in the playoffs.

As a Houston fan, I would of course want to win the playoff game. if we don’t have Joseph for this game, I want him ready for the next one. He is the next best thing to a shutdown corner. if the Texans lose this game, they will win the next one. NE still needs to beat the 49ers the following week.

Bears 41 Vikings 17
AP is the greatest running back in the league and is a super star! But, with the coaching staff still needing 4 more games to determine Ponder is / was a bust, this team has nothing to look forward to!
I am so disappointed that the Vikings didn’t do more to address the Vikings needs. It’s clear Ponder needs way more weapons, as now with Harvin out for the year, there is not 1 WR worthy of a starting role, yet , where were they when Danario Alexander was signed, he would be the receiver they so badly need! Spielman , sucks and the Vikings OC, is horrible! It’s inexcusable to have such a poor passing game, when AP is rushing for 12 yards a carry last week to the Overrated Packers!

6) Bears 24, Vikings 13- Despite a big day from Adrian Peterson, the Purple Pride can’t stop Brandon Marshall and the Bears.

Sounds good to me.

The Ravens are the Best Team that plays in MD. Yes idiots landover, MD is in maryland not DC..

Ravens d is down but my guess is RG3 ain’t come across Ed Reed yet. Plus all the hype making a 6-7 team with Rookie QB a 2.5 point favorite over the Ravens is going to come crashing down on Sunday!

Everyone’s expecting a big dose of Ray Rice,but it will be Flacco that wins this game chewing up weak skins secondary.

Should be a good game but the ravens win 27-17.

Not saying he can’t… In fact I expect him to shred our defensive secondary that is as thin as I’ve seen.

But the common denominator between the last 3 weeks for the Texans… they have won. The defense can give up as many points as it wants as long as the offense can score 1 more…

If you don’t think Schaub, Dre, and Arian can’t match wits against the 26th ranked defense, you might be mistaken. I’m not sure what the O/U is on this game but I would take the over for anything up to 65 pts. This has all the makings of a good ole fashion shootout.

–

I don’t disagree with you. I too think it will be a shootout.
My response was to the other guy who said TB would have a problem against the Texans D.

@flash1283

All three of those games they were missing Joseph, Ball, and in the last game, McCain.

Plus the Titans were down by 14 points and were forced to throw it all over the place, and they sacked Locker 6 times in the process.

They will be full strength against the Pats, and while they may throw a ton of yards that doesn’t guarantee a win. As 8to80 said, all of those games the Texans won despite all the yardage.

Again, if Aron Rogers and chad hene can blow that D up what makes you think TB and the #1 offense in the NFL won’t.
———————————————————
Rodgers blew it up because GB’s backs were against the wall and he had something to prove.

Henne blew it up because they had gameplanned for Gabbert and his dinking and dunking.

Ironically, both of those games Joseph was hampered with hamstring issues. Coincidence?
——-

Last 3 weeks vs the Texans,

Locker 21-45, 309 yds, 1 td-2nd year QB

Stafford 31-61, 441 yds, 2 td – TOP 10 QB (maybe)

Henne 16-33, 354 yds, 4 tds-back up QB

All I’m saying is if you don’t think Brady can do the same, if not better with all the weapons they have (even without Gronk) you’re crazy!

@ Antho Kornheiser You are talking about future and that is irrevelant the only thing that matters is the now and future, The Skins have a chance at he playoffs and the future is bright and that is just the fact.

Enough bringing up the Jags and Lions – the Texans had played (at the time) the biggest game of the season in Chicago. The Jags came in, Gabbert and his short passing game went out, and Henne threw downfield on them which they weren’t expecting. In addition, they did what most teams do after a huge game on the road – they had a letdown.

Then they played the Lions 4 days later IN Detroit against the #1 passing team in the league and kept them from scoring their last 6 possessions. So what that they gave up a lot of yardage – they won the game despite the blown call.

They came back the next week and forced 6 turnovers and 6 sacks against Tennessee.

The Patriots haven’t faced a good defense all year long and won – they lost every time they faced one (Arizona, Seattle, Baltimore). No reason to think they’ll all of a sudden play better against a defense much better than those teams.

I’ll give you that the Pats may win… Brady rarely loses in Foxborough.

But to think the #2 scoring offense in the league will put up only 14 against the 26th ranked defense…. C’mon MDS…

anthonykornheiser — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:55:04 +0000

Man, enough with all this redskins talk already, no matter the post, no matter who it is about. We are talking about a 6-6 team here, not even ONE game over 500. A team that if the season ended today wouldnt even be in the playoffs. A team that hasnt sniffed the NFC east crown since the 90′s, ouch. A team that the last time they go into the playoffs a division rival has won 2 super bowls. Can you imagine that? more sb’s won than playoff appearances over that span. A team that since the yr 2000 has amassed an above 500 record. Since the turn of the decade having a record of 87-109, more than 20 games under 500. Who are we talking about here? Come on already.

Broncos fan here. I think there is a real possibility Oakland wins this game tonight.

1. Thursday night game on the road – check
2. Raiders playing with a lot of emotion for their coach – check
3. Rivalry game the Raiders get up for – check
4. Possible Broncos letdown after just clinching division – check.

Just think there is a lot more to this one than ‘Raiders aren’t good’ and ‘Peyton undefeated in Oakland in two prior starts’
