  1. IMO, There are 3 tiers of QBs: Tom, Peyton, Eli, Brett and Ben. You know them on a first-name basis.

    The second tier of QBs include guys like McNabb, Palmer, Flacco, Ryan, Cutler, Rivers, Collins, Rodgers etc.

    The third tier of QBs include the scrubs like Russell, Croyle, Quinn/Anderson, Young, etc.

     

    Of the top tier of QBs, Roethlisberger is the only one who is man enough to absorb hits. He never complains about being sacked/hit late. For that, I'm actually quite impressed.

     

    But the other 4 are all caterwauling wussies. When Brady sidestepped a falling-down Suggs (I believe he was pushed form behind, into the vicinity of Brady's knees), then turned to the official and made the "throw the laundry" gesture - GOT A FLAG - and then pumped his fist, I about threw my beer through the TV.

     

    The top tier QBs can do that. And they're usually accompanied by VERY quick whistles.

     

    The second tier QBs will get that every once in a while, but not often.

     

    And if you're a third-tier QB, I hope you have good insurance. You're gonna get blasted all day long.

  2. McGahee towndown. Easy 7-yard run.

    How easy was it?

     

    Last week it seemed like the O-Line was parting the red sea for Willis at the goalline.

     

    In a related note, I love our line.

  3. I'm trying two streams, but neither are pulling up yet.

     

    I've got Green Bay at Rams on my big-screen; Ravens on the laptop (providing the streams will load).

     

    FOOTBALL!!!!!

  4. If we were going into this game with the roster healthy and nobody on IR, I'd say that we'd have a great shot at knocking off the Steelers. However, having played as many games in a row as we have without any breaks, and having the Steelers coming off of a season with a regular bye week and a playoff bye, I just don't see how we can win.

     

    I'm not any less of a fan by saying this, but I just don't see us getting any of the breaks this game. I think the Steelers win by 6, 16-10.

     

    It could be worse, though, if the Ravens have to play the Steelers AND the officials. However, if the Tennessee game did anything, it gave me hope that the Ravens could have previous matchups "evened-out" by the Zebras with a generous spot and some calls our way.

     

    I'd have a better feeling about this game if we had our starting CBs and a 100% healthy Suggs. Oh, and a bye week at some point this season.

  5. As an aside, I want to say how disappointed I am in Cowher. Steelers aside, I always thought he was an intelligent "football guy".

     

    Instead, all he's done since he started on CBS is swing on Shittsburg's nuts. He just went on about how Worthlessburger was the greatest rookie QB in history.

    Marino had the save, though -- "the best any one of these guys could be is third, because I've got one and two locked up!"

  6. Lots of fun pics of them sobbing. But their whining on gotitans is kinda funny.

     

    My fav is that they are still complaining about Reed "bending Johnson in half." Reed was trying to strip the ball. The fact that the announcers were yelling doesn't mean anything. And the penalty on the same play was away from the ball - it wasn't about the lineman pulling Reed off him.

    There's a great quote by former Cardinals manager Whitey Herzog - "I'll stop stealing bases with the lead when you stop trying to score." While baseball and football are two different animals, the point remains -- if Chris Johnson didn't want to get 'Bent in half", he shouldn't of tried to reach for those extra yards. We finish plays.

  7. What's obnoxious is that it's not like this week's performance by Reed is something new for him. This is just the cockroaches trying to jump on the bandwagon now that all of the guys they snubbed (Harrison notwithstanding) are the only ones left in the playoffs.

    And while Harrison is having a monster year, you could make a case that there are way better folks than Silverback deserving of the award.
