So far, this is as boring as advertised.

This is one of the most unmoving divisional games in recent memory--but the Ravens are a boring, boorish group that now has a QB Flacco and a bit flighty. Now way in hell does he beat Tom Brady next week if he triumphs today. Yawn against a third-stringer.

Agreed. This game held no interest for me.

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! - Rocky Balboa

I don't know what you guys are talking about.  It is exactly the kind of smashmouth old school game everyone was lamenting the passing of.  Maybe the NFL is right and even the old time fans really prefer the arena football style game even when they don't realize it themselves.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist

Maybe I am the exception, but I don't think the game is all that bad.  Although up to the Raven's offense is not looking to be championship caliber.

I don't know about the game, the Ravens are the only team in the NFL that I cannot stand watching.

The Pats will need to beat them next week, if they want to have a Giants vs. Pats SB... :yes:

Houston has outplayed Baltimore thus far in this game.  Especially at the LOS on both sides of the ball.  I thought Baltimore would come out and dominate this game.  Very surprised at how the first half went.

at the combine t j vates was there to throw ints to dbs.and arian foster in  2009 had a poor combine.

one guy was drfated in the 5th round, the other not drafted.

also many felt the draft pick for watts was a bad pickup, but this guy was a fine draft pick.

They're both solid, well-balanced teams, but there's nothing exciting about either one.

Slightly off topic, but I'd like to see Brandon Jacobs meet Ray Lewis 2 yards past the line of scrimmage.

I exaggerated a bit in my previous post, but I agree with this assessment. Joe Flacco sort of reminds me of Scott Brunner....

But can Yates pull off an Eli?
