Yeah the Ravens have looked ugly, hell DAMN ugly, but let's not go calling it a collapse. Save that word for teams that lose to the Raiders, Browns, and Chargers not teams that are going to the playoffs for the fifth straight year.

Hahaha yeah it is awesome.

Ground and Pound with defense doesn't work anymore Steve. You need to be able to pass in this league and outscore your opponent.

It's why the Bears better hire an offensive guru as their next head coach.

No, it's a collapse.

The only reason they're in the playoffs is because the Steelers were fresh off of not having Roethlisberger in their first match up, and the refs gave them the game with a stupidly generous spot (even after a booth review) against the Chargers. Otherwise, they'd be on a 5 game losing streak right now.

They've been complete horse shit for weeks now, and just because they look better in comparison to some other situations, doesn't change that fact.

You have fun rationalizing the Steelers' collapse since they got booted out of the playoffs by a QB who can't even beat out Mark Sanchez for a starting job. I'll concede collapse if we don't take the division but until then you're just pissing in the wind on this one.

There's nothing to argue. I'm right and you're wrong. The fact that the Steelers suck (I agree) doesn't rectify the fact that the Ravens are collapsing. You being in the playoffs has more to do with other teams in the conference sucking, and sheer luck (Steelers sans Ben and being gifted an undeserved win against the Chargers), than the Raven's own efforts. The Ravens went from a commanding lead in the division, and the potential to take a top position within the AFC playoff seedings, to a potential 6th seed in a season where the AFC sucks. That's collapsing by definition.

That was pretty much Pre-Kaep 49ers. It's the kind of team that allows for a mediocre quarterback as long as he doesn't fuck up.

I have now been able to visually confirm that Tom Brady is ugly in person.

What a game. It was actually kind of fun being in a poncho in the rain.

Bengals win and they're in.

In other words, they're out. lol I've never seen the Bengals win a big game in my lifetime, and I'm not even joking. Well, that one win against the Steelers in 2005 was big, but since then, nothing.

What section were you? I was freezing my ass off in 335.

Section 114, Row 4. I got to see / cheer on 49ers as they entered and left the field. Some of them were cool and waved / pointed back to the 49er fans in the corner.

Note - I'm not a 49ers fan, but Kaepernick is on my fantasy team and the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And I was with a hardcore 49ers fan.

EDIT - You guys have the most beautiful sports complex I have seen. At that size.
 
After watching the Cardinals play the Lions, I really don't like the Bears chances Sunday. The Cards seem to still care, and want to play hard for Whisenhunt. They just don't have an offense to speak of.

I don't think they'll need to score too many points to win.

Marshall is the only competent player Cutler can rely on. At this point Hester doesn't belong on the field as a receiver or even a kick off returner. Jeffrey is a walking PI magnet. Forte is only allowed to run for two yards up the middle. I think Earl Bennett is dead. God, what a fucking mess.

That said, at least they're not the Jets.

Would you do two week bet.
If I lose...
I wear avatar for two weeks.
If I win...
I would like you to drop the bet with Gator with only 1 week of avatar?

Fair?

Your counter offer?

Oh Jets...will you ever not suck horribly?

Depends, how long will they stick with Sanchez?

Pulling a stat out of my butt, like 95% of this board has been calling the guy a loser for years at this point. I mean, we also make fun of decent quarterbacks like Schaub, Flacco, Fatford, and the Cowardly Ryan but Sanchez is just something amazingly awful.

Sanchez is garbo. Big Bawls Pete redeemed once again. Also Jake Locker is basically a better version of Tebow who can actually throw and even he's pretty average. Hopefully this year puts an end to Tebow mania. He and Lin can go jump off a cliff.

Some absolute garbage taken early with regards to the QB position.

Tyler Wilson is a better QB than a lot of these fools, not even on the same planet. Based on the past he's a top ten selection I think, but I wonder if teams get gun shy.

if you want to do 2 weeks thats fine, but i'm not going to get gator involved. he has his 49ers avatar until the moment the superbowl wins and nothing is going to change that.

simple 2 week avatar bet between 2 best friends: if the seahawks win i will wear an avatar of your choosing for 2 weeks and if the 49ers win you wear an avatar of my choosing for 2 weeks

lower risk now with new CBA. Can cut bait with far less pain than guys like Bradford and Sanchez
