The Ravens at half time have 16 total yards and no first downs. :ouch:

When I looked in, both teams had negative passing yards. Really? And the Ravens could have fallen on a fumble but tried to pick it up and run and didn't get it. Just stupid football on their part from what I've watched.
 
Baltimore didn't show up, and they lost 12-7. A field goal in every quarter helped Jacksonville to take down the Ravens in Jacksonville. Baltimore scored the game's only touchdown, and it wasn't enough. Total fail for the Ravens. They made beating my Texans a piece of cake, but fail at Jacksonville. Up next for Jacksonville- at Houston for an AFC South clash.
 
Baltimore was pathetic. This NFL week sucked. The 3-3 Redskins face the Toronto Bills this Sunday. A matchup of quarterbacks who've come out of nowhere to start for their respective teams. I see the Redskins winning if Torain RUNS THE BALL. *hint.
 
I had a strange feeling that Flacco would throw an Int before the Ravens last drive started.

Next up for the Panthers is a home game against the 1-6 Vikings.
 
The worst part about the Dolphins is that they can't even lose as bad as the Colts.

This Indy's revenge for having to leave the AFC East during NFL's last re-alignment.
 
Did anybody see the team stat line for the Houston v Tennessee game? Holy **** on a stick Batman! Houston with 518 total yards and Tennessee with...148 total yards. Good god that's putrid!

And, um, where did this DiMarco Murray come from in Dallas. Jeez, 253 rushing yards. He could of got more if they left him in. :lol:
 
Anyone else read about Terell Owens getting offered a contract by the Chicago Rush of the Arena Football League? That is the best situation for him, because no NFL team wants him.

That's not true. I'm sure there are teams that want him. Just because they weren't there at the workout isn't a true barometer of interest. They didn't show up because they already know who Owens is and what he brings to the table. The whole point of it was to prove he's not injured and they can get all that information from the tapes that Drew Rosenhaus sent out to them. If a team did show up, then you invite attention. Press conference questions "are you guys signing T.O?" Locker room questions "Are you worried that T.O. might spoil your locker room if he shows up?" "Do you think he'll take your spot on the WR Depth Chart?" etc. etc.

Also, by not going, teams aren't tipping their hand to other teams. Let's say the 49ers, the Seahawks, and the Rams all showed up and none of those teams had any intention of signing. Guess what? The Broncos decide they want him. So once Denver calls Rosenhaus to say they want him, he gets to play this pretend game of interest by saying that all of those NFC West teams are interested and that will then result in Denver having to pay a higher price.

Look, NFL teams aren't stupid. Terrell Owens will be the oldest wide receiver in the game if a team were to sign him, but come on. He almost had 1000 yards last year for the Bengals and he's only behind Jerry Rice in most career receiving stats.

I'm not saying he'll sign with a team tomorrow, but it's crazy to think that no team is interested. He's a freak athlete and he's going to be a First-Ballot Hall-of-Famer. Just off the top of my head, I would not be the least bit surprised to see him get calls from Buffalo, San Francisco, Minnesota, Tennessee, Washington, or even Texas. Teams with WR injuries and a shot at the playoffs this season.

He's loud. He's annoying. I can't stand him. He's also one of the best wide receivers of all time and you just can't ignore that, no matter what ESPN tries to turn into a story.
 
The only GM that would actually want Owens is a Madden GM because he has a high OVR rating. He's a last resort if there are injuries to a teams WRs. If he can keep his mouth shut and keep the antics to a minimum like in Buffalo, then I would consider signing him.
 
How is/are your team(s) doing today?

Today, we took care of business in a 24-14 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Texans had their Battle Red day going. We still have a date at Jacksonville later this season. But for now, we'll kindly welcome the Cleveland Browns to Houston next weekend at Reliant Stadium. Texans now 5-3 as Jacksonville falls to 2-6. Ben Tate was at his usual best while Arian Foster had himself a rushing touchdown.

On the other side, Blaine Gabbert played very well against my Texans. That's one tough dude! He was pretty good in the passing game. Blaine was solid even back playing at Missouri in college. And of course, never count out Maurice Jones-Drew and his ability.


I saw a former Texan playing for another team. I know we had released Steve Slaton, and I found out he's now playing for the Miami Dolphins. Also, the Rams are winless no more- 31-21 St. Louis winning over the New Orleans Saints. Who dat say dey gon' beat dem Saints? The Rams! Drew Brees got picked off twice in this one.
 
BALTIMORE RAVENS you are the reason i have so many grey hairs at an early age, but all is forgiven when you win!
 
Not only did the referees blow a call when Dalton threw a backwards pass to no-one, but they didn't call the Bengals for delay of game on the last play before half time. The defense intentionally piled on the ball carrier and wouldn't let him up. Worse still, when the guy tried to get the ball out so the ref could stop it, they batted it away. No flags, no call on the obvious lateral to no-one. That's 2 very possible scores by the Seahawks that never got a chance to happen.

Ref's have been horrible all year, really wish the NFL would do something about it(it would help if players/coaches could criticize them without being fined).

Tebow is showing his true self today, 7-21, 80 yards and a fumble.
 
The Panthers lose to the Vikings 24-21 after Olindo Mare missed a 30 yard FG with 26 seconds left 4th, that would have tied the game. :indiff:

I felt bad about picking the Vikings (I pick with my head, not my heart, and I've been getting burned picking the Panthers lately) because of Ponder, but I honestly thought the Panthers had it most of the game. I was about to change my pick when I heard Ponder wasn't 100%, but I didn't pull the trigger. Carolina played the better game except for the sack-fumbles, in my opinion. Cam looked ace, except for the fumbles, and we were actually running the ball a bit.

Speaking about getting burned I picked the Cowboys over the Eagles, 5 minutes into the 2nd Qtr they trail 21-0. :ouch:

I really thought we were going to put up a good fight up there in Philly--but good god we are laying an egg tonight. Losing S. Lee is going to really hurt our defense...and it already shows.
 
Chargers at Chiefs TONIGHT!

Kids and their parents will go out trick or treating tonight, but the Chargers look to treat themselves to a win at Arrowhead Pond. So in the spirit of Halloween, who do you have being treated with a win- Kansas City or San Diego?

I picked San Diego, just because the Chiefs are bad.

EDIT: But San Diego played worse :sick:.

I going with the Chargers in a very tight game.

Edit: Oh, the Chiefs won in OT 23-20, that's now 4 straight wins for the Chiefs.

The San Diego Chargers did some trick or treating last night at Kansas City. In the end, they get tricked with a 23-20 loss in Overtime. A win for the Chargers would have given them the AFC West lead.

If your team has played eight games up to this point, what's your mid-season assessment of your team(s) so far?
