You're not an ass bmw. You're an overpriced (but still nice) european car.
Good one
Though, in reality, the BMW has nothing to do with the car (they're my initials, actually).
-
The Ravens League is now even. Good luck with your draft!
Now I feel like an ass...
Thanks Billy (for steeping aside I mean, that wasn't meant to be sarcastic!)
-
Yeah, sorry about the late join. I just realized yesterday this league was back up. If you can't find anyone, give me the boot.

Ravens sign Ricky Williams...
OK Oz, Im starting to doubt you now..Ar you freekin insane, 4 million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crav, the $4 million number includes all of the incentives. The base salary is $2.5 million over 2 years, or $1.25 million a year. Considering the veteran minimum is $910,000, he's really not making much over the min unless he puts some numbers up to make him worth it.

Give it a shot. The Reds were the last team to do it back in '90, but they too are off to a 3-0 start this year. How weird would it be for two wire to wire teams meet in the World Series?
Well, if you're talking about winning the World Series, then yes. But the Orioles actually went wire-to-wire to win the AL East in 1997 (which, incidentally, was the last time they started 3-0).

Congratulations Game Time. Now, who are you?
I guess this is slightly belated (since I don't normally scroll down much past the O's section) but that would be me :P I've been around a while, though I don't post too much.

Honestly, since it came up, I am getting sick and tired of the calls for Bulger. He has been terrible as a starter the last couple years he was one. Don't you think that if he had anything left, he would have been the starter in Carolina, Arizona, or Cleveland this year in place of Clausen/Moore, Anderson/Hall/Skeleton, and Delhomme

I don't know if I can watch the rest of the playoffs now.
-
And Cassel's rating is down to 20.4
-
Cassell has a 27.6 QB rating...great job D and secondary!
Flacco's is 115.4, btw.

Cundiff...
To quote Billick: "Damn Pro Bowl kicker"
-
Fuck those Tom Brady rules!
Well, we did get a 15 yd penalty in our favor for one of those already...
-
If his arm is moving forward, didn't the ball go backwards anyway? So it would be a lateral and live ball anyway, right?
-
Haruki cost us about 30 yards of field position, but luckily nothing else
-
Flacco, on that TD to Rice, really went through his progressions well. Looked right, then left, then came back to the middle. Did it pretty quickly too.

In terms of playoff scenarios:
If we remain the 5 seed and win, the team we would face in the second round would be determined by who wins the other wild card game. If the Jets win, we would go to Pittsburgh. If whoever the Jets play wins, we'd go to New England.
That being said, go Browns!

I liked what Harbaugh said here:
"I think the fans care," he said. "I think they matter. Look, I was disappointed with our consistency. I think that's what they're saying: 'We need to be more consistent.' And we're trying to get that every single week. And to see it happen today against this team, yeah, it feels good."Then, before heading off to celebrate with his coaches, he delivered one final message for Ravens fans.
"I want them to believe in us as a football team," he said. "Yeah, [the criticism] stings a little bit. But I know where they're coming from. Because they care."
-
Pretty much. The records are now tied, and there is now no conceivable way that a tiebreaker can break for the Ravens. So, we need to win out and the Steelersa need to lose one (doesn't matter who its against, but Browns is obviously more likely). In terms of winning the division, the Ravens winning the game today actually didn't mean very much standings-wise, except for the fact that the loss doesn't HAVE to come against the Browns.
-
With the win today, its fairly certain that we're going to make the playoffs. We would just have to win 1 of our final 2 to clinch.
Here's the problem, and why I REALLY hope the Steelers lose twice: As it stands now, we'd open the playoffs in Indy. NOT who I want to play.
-
Let's go Jets! Help us out a bit Rex!
-
1st down and we win, lets go O!
-
Grr, ok D, atone for last week
-
C'mon O. A couple 1st downs and we're in

You have got to be kidding me
Ravens Can't Clinch (Yet), But Steelers Can
in Baltimore Ravens

To clarify as to why, if we win out, we would be the #1 seed:
If we win out, we win the division due to the fact that Pittsburgh lost to us twice. All the talk about conference records with them is pointless, because for the head-to-head advantage. As far as a hypothetical 3-way tie scenario with Cincy, us,and Pittsburgh if us and Pittsburgh were to lose a couple more games, we would still win regardless of what happens. The worst we can finish in the division is 4-2, which is equal to the Steelers' best possible finish and 1 game better than Cincy's best possible finish. In that case, Cincy would be eliminated at the divisional tiebreaker, and then us and Pittsburgh would revert back to the first tiebreaker, which is head-to-head, and we would win.
If we end tied with only Houston at 13-3, we get #1 overall seed by virtue of our head-to-head win.
If we end tied with only New England at 13-3, we get #1 overall seed by virtue of record against common opponents (Steelers, Colts, Chargers, Jets: Ravens 5-0, Patriots 4-1).
If we end tied with both at 13-3, with no head-to-head, equal conference records (10-2 across the board), and not enough common opponents, it would revert to strength of victory. The NFL won't calculate this far out who clinches strength of victory, but I've run the scenarios, and by my numbers neither team can catch us there. I may have made a mistake and haven't accounted for weird things like ties, but I'm 95% certain of that fact (and even if it is possible, it is exceedingly unlikely).
So yes, if we win out, we will be the #1 seed.
