I really, really liked Stokley all these years. He had a lot of talent but his body durability just wasn't there. Lots of heart but injuries wiped him out year after year. I really hope he retires and is healthy 20 years from now,
I agree with Nado. Beat the Lions on the road this week and I'll believe they're a playoff team. I think it would set them up to at least be competitive with NE and Cincy. But I've got to see them beat some real quality first.
Flacco's last drive was really good stuff. He's at his best when the chips are down. I really like the way he's moving in the pocket and extending plays recently.
Jacoby Jones, Marlon Brown, & Pitta get game balls. After Pitta settled down, he was just as good as last year. He'll really help out down the stretch.
I think we need to keep things in perspective. A couple of weeks ago we were really down on the team and now I'm afraid the purple-colored glasses are out in full force. We have a very tough road ahead to make the playoffs or win the division and this team isn't exactly blowing anybody anyway. If the AFC wasn't so weak we wouldn't stand a chance.
We've got to win 2 out of 3 against Detroit (away), New England (here), and Cincy (away) while not forgetting to beat the struggling Vikings. That's a tall order for this team, this year.
