Holy cow, the Ravens scored a TD - on a Flacco pass no less.

I didn’t get a chance to watch the lady quarter of the Rams Eagles game.. but let’s be real.. the referees basically saved the Eagles multiple times..

That taunting penalty was nonsense and that gave the Eagles basically a TD and more of a time consuming drive to tire the Rams defense out..

The officiating was an utter joke. 102 yards in penalties against the Rams. What the hell did the Eagles do to get such favourable treatment?

 

[trickamsterdam]

If he goes 2-1 or 3-0 I will proclaim that he did much better than I thought, and admit I was wrong. If he starts in the POs, Eagles won't go far.

Unless you're really gonna up the ante, and say this dude can win a SB with this Philly squad?

If they get Home Field through-out, I could see them beating the dome and warm-weather teams that have to go play in the Linc, in January, in a cold-weather city.

But it's very difficult to see them beating the Steelers/Pats, in the Superbowl, w/out something unforseen happening (e.g., they knock Brady out early in the game, horrible officiating + flukey turnovers).

 

[StylisticS]

Well that looked familiar.

Ravens lost Jimmy Smith to an Achilles injury last week, so Carr is covering Antonio Brown.

It's not going well.

Carr getting eaten alive. What’s new?

Mr. Glassman Claiborne somewhere getting his feelings hurt

Foles isn't getting past a Vik's or Saint's led-D. Especially with Lattimore back. The Eagles without Wentz are playing with fools gold for the PHI faithful.

FWIW, there are some rumors up here in Philly Wentz may only have a MCL injury.

It could just be wishful thinking. We'll find out tomorrow.

 

[kevm3]

Carr getting destroyed by arguably the best WR in the league is understandable. It's how Brown came to be who he is... by destroying opposing corners.

Steelers scored on every possession yet only lead 20-14 at halftime. Pretty sure they'll win if they get 40, though.

[River82]

Umpires lofting flags into the air during an onfield brawl has to be one of the most ridiculous sights in any international sport.

During team testing his "ACL was loose" which is why the team fears it's a torn ACL

Anybody else watch the end of the Jags-Seahawks game on NFL Network? Had a wild ending. Michael Bennett (not surprisingly) committed a dirty play when the Jags were trying to take a knee at the end by diving into the Center's knees. A scuffle ensued. Multiple ejections...



Then this.

Stay Classy, Pete Carroll and the Seahawks.

The Bennett brothers make me sick. I hate them both. They are both classless jerks.

They should both be out of the league.

Stealers 20
Ravens 17

Feels like I'm just being teased.

 

[Tenkamenin]

How old are you?

Not old enough apparently.

 

[Jake]

Alex Collins off the scrap heap has been a find for Baltimore.

Ravens 24
Stealers 20

Oh, please...

 

[camelboy]

If I ever had a second team it would be the Ravens. They are the kryptonite of New England and always, i mean ALWAYS, have top defense .. how? I wish I knew
