[Tournament] NFL 2007-08 Season Discussion

Well, that was BS...The Ravens should be 0-0, the Bengals 0-0 and the refs 1-0. Offensive pass interference!?!?!? What the hell? Heap barely touched the guy (if anything, it was defensive pass interference) Good win, refs. All those injuries and all that action, the Ravens coming back from 5 turnovers (LOL @ 1st quarter) and it comes down to a bullshit call like that. And then the guy "makes up" for it with a holding call for our side, because he knew he was wrong.

Of course, we can't blame the refs for us not...oh I don't know...RUNNING THE BALL on 2nd and 3rd instead of barreling it full-speed to a receiver 5 feet in front of you after nearly getting picked on a shit throw!!! That's on Boller's hands...which shouldn't be anywhere near an NFL football to begin with.

Just...complete idiocy taking over a great game at the end there.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But, not like the Ravens didn't have more than enough chances to put the ball in for the score. Shit calls happen sometimes, the best teams still find a way to win.

Yes, but everyone I've spoken to agrees he had no business putting the ball in the air at all (and those of us who've endured watching him for years know what kind of spazz he can be). He nearly got picked off on a horrendous throw on 2nd and then the Heap deal happened...After it was established the Bengals weren't stopping the run and it was a matter of "when", not "if" we were running it in with 3 downs to play with. That's what I meant by "complete idiocy"...Not just the ref/Boller/Heap/Billick's playcalling. That was a group effort that still has me shaking my head.

Good luck with the Bucs this year.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Holy shit, Browns beat the Bengals in a slugfest (51-45). Awesome...I figured both Pittsburgh and Cincy would be 2-0. Less work for the Ravens to do. We won, but the Jets came to life in the fourth quarter. Too bad AZ and SF are playing really well, they won't be the free wins I thought they were.

I feel bad for people living in NY...Their teams are 0-6 combined. And I actually root for the Giants, so I'm thinking why can't it be the Yankees instead...

(congrats Bucpride)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Guess Kurt Warner's going to become a hot topic again. No one on the Ravens could even stop that guy...Like he was possessed. Or just pissed off we beat the crap out of Matt Leinert for half the game. Those last few possessions were nail biters (for both Ravens fans and AZ fans). We barely held on at the end.

Chargers lose to GB...That's on the brink of insanity after last year.

Dallas vs Chicago is going to be good...Maybe an NFC Championship Game preview.

Most amazing jew boots

Rooting for New England is like rooting for the Yankees in baseball...Adding both Thomas AND Moss is like adding both A-Rod and Josh Beckett to an already-championship calibre team. But I'm from Baltimore and I'll gladly root for anyone who beats up on the Colts.

Suck that, Irsey clan! Steal our goddamn team, will ya...

Lol @ Cincy. I still haven't gotten over the Raven's loss to Buffalo and lightning hit another division rival. What a disappointment (since I root for Cincinnati when we're out of contention...Imagine how their hometown fans feel).

I was speaking idiomatically.

I. HATE. FOOTBALL.

I'm going to go find a corner and murmur to myself now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I call it...The Ravens end the Pats win streak. Because, you know, all that anger has to be building within us and it has to come out sometime.

I also call...The Ravens have a total mindfart and end up being the only win Miami gets this year.

You heard it here first.

Total bullshit call, that Browns game. Oh well, at least Boller looked good. I have to admit he's grown as a QB...and he's better than McNair in his sad state.

Yay...Packers? 9-1. I won't complain about having another competitive NFC team.

FELIPE NO

We lost...But damn if that wasn't the best MNF game I've ever had the chance to see. All the hype over the Pats, the fact the Ravens suck this year, Boller vs Brady, Ravens D vs Pats O...and we HAD them. THEY WERE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE! And we let 'em off the hook. You could even argue we won, because the defensive coach who called the timeout on 4th down wasn't allowed to call timeout (at least from the explanation I've heard)! And the winning touchdown was clearly a juggle. That's been the story of the season though...Give us back 3 blown calls and they turn into 3 wins.

Kicking from the Ravens 30-something yardline though = LOL

Now if they can do the same against the Colts and maybe pull out a win...Avenge last year's drumming. Stop the losing streak.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
