LOL Titans suck ass, Most fluke team ever this year. They'll be lucky if they even get one TD against the Ravens.

Lol, I went to that game they had versus the texans, they lost all their magic, they couldn't score on our defense, was pretty sad really.

I didn't say it wasn't face masking, I said it didn't have any effect on the play, which it didn't. It, therefore, should not have been called at that point in the game. Penalties should not have that sort of impact on the outcome of the game. To whoever said I'm using the holding non-calls to justify that not being called: learn how to read. I said that it shouldn't have been called at that point in the game, because it had no effect on the outcome of that play. He had two guys taking him down two yards behind the line. He had no chance of going anywhere on that play, regardless of whether or not the face mask was touched, but the refs turned it into a 15 yard positive. That should not happen.

And my point still stands that the officiating was biased, because there should never be 2-1 penalties against one team. It doesn't happen.

And just to dispel the idea that it was because I'm bitter: my friend who hates the Colts agreed with what I'm saying.



Yeah, they were definitely a fluke this year. They didn't make Pittsburgh look mediocre in the most important regular season game of the year. They didn't make Indy look bad in the first game (they didn't play their starters in the second for very long, if at all), and they didn't beat the Ravens earlier in the season, either. Oh, they also lost to Minnesota. No, wait, they beat Minnesota, and they did do that to all of those other teams. That's four playoff teams, and two of them were teams that people are STILL claiming are better than the Ravens.



The offense won't do that. The only way they will go to the Super Bowl is if the defense plays the same way it did on Sunday.

It doesn't matter how many yards he gained or lost, Facemask is still facemask. Titans are still a fluke team and we'll see them fluking it on Sunday

good god, nothing would make me happier than the eagles beating the shit out of the giants next week
the way our defense is rolling, anything is possible

I'm going to repeat myself again: It was technically the correct call, but it should not have been made. It should not have been made because it had no effect on the play, and because it was overtime in a playoff game. Referees need to let the players play, especially in that situation.

Losing to the Ravens will not be a fluke, because the Ravens are a very good team.

Not if that offense is so ineffective. They were playing a good defense, I'll give them that, but there is no reason that the Vikings were still in that game in the fourth quarter. The Eagles had so many opportunities to put that game away... it should have been 40-14. If I were an Eagles fan, I would not be too confident in the upcoming game.

the giants were pretty up and down at the end of the season, not like last season where they tore into the playoffs on a roll
last week was a sucker game though, the eagles sucked me in again and i'm really hoping that they do well...i'm ready for the heart break. I'm gonna sit with 3 friends and drink while watching the game, and no matter the outcome, at least i'll be happy and drunk on my couch shootin the shit with good friends

either way, i'm still torn about mcnabb. i have never thought he was a good west coast quarterback, but he really doesn't have the weapons that he's needed throughout the years to be effective. i THINK i want him and andy reid back, but i'd just like for reid to learn better clock management (good luck) and to learn how to challenge calls that can actually be reversed

Well I'm not even gonna talk about the facemask call anymore. Apparently we both have our views on whether it should have been called or not, and it's already done so it doesn't even matter, but on to the Titans case.....They are a fluke, and we'll just wait and see what happens on Saturday. (them getting killed and the end of the fluke season)

The Giants were only up and down because Brandon Jacobs was out. When Jacobs is in, they are the best team in the league.


Again, I don't see how losing to Baltimore makes them a fluke team. The Ravens have such a dominant defense; they can beat anybody.

Because once they're out of the playoffs they will realize they WERE a fluke.

After seeing my Colts get rolled by the Chargers again, I couldn't stop likening San Diego to some crappy one-matchup sniper like Casy. He/They won't win it all, but they can take down a contender like Jaedong before they get eliminated, just because they're good in one very specific matchup.

You're not making any sense. I keep asking how are they a fluke, and you keep saying "they're a fluke." You're not giving any reasoning; you're just repeating yourself like a parrot. How is steamrolling the Steelers 31-14 (and being the only team to gain 300 yards on them) a fluke? And how is losing to one of the most feared defenses in the league (maybe ever?) a fluke?



That's exactly what they are. They're like the semi-pros that make it to the pro tournament (or, in BW terms, they're the foreigners to the Koreans in WCG). They don't really have a chance to win it all, but they'll take out some big time player before they're out (or, as in the WCG analogy, they beat a Korean in one match. Like Blackman, or Testie [no offense to either player, of course, I'm not trying to rip on them]).

I'm with you. I'm a Steelers fan, and I couldn't help but watch the Titan's game and think that they were an elite team. They RAN on the Steelers. I don't care who you are, that is impressive and very few teams do it, in fact the GIANTS didn't do it. [Jacobs ended the game with like 50 yards]. The Titans were stiff on Defense as well, and Collins dealt just fine with the pass rush.

I'm hoping that the Ravens beat the Titans in a close game, otherwise, I don't like how we match up. (I'm also hoping that the Steelers beat the Chargers).
