Oh well....time to start the Vikes/Eagles thread

That game should stir a few more emotions that this one did.

Yay, go Baltimore

Ed Reed is a monster, that is all...

My only thought about this game is that Flacco or however you spell his name, has one heck of an arm.

What I found most interesting was that whilst it appeared the Ravens blitzed and blitzed and blitzed, they were actually very rarely sending more than 5 and usually just sticking with the 4 man rush. What they were doing instead was dropping all sorts of linemen into coverage (Ngata?!) and sending LBs or CBs instead. Their DL also NEVER lined up the same, so Miami's OL always were looking at different people and having to adjust to different skill sets. Quite impressive that they neutered the Miami running game despite not having the big bodies always in the middle.

Sure is amusing to me when people go mental when we drop Peppers into coverage. We are using the same concept as the Ravens and even started the multiple looks against NO. The difference? We do not disguise ourselves as well as the Ravens. But it just shows you do not need to send more than 5 men to cut out passes and cause turnovers. IMO it is the cushion we often give on the WRs that is the difference. Oh and not having Ed Reed.

guess we know why the jets got rid of pennington...

Think he'll win Comeback Player of the Year award again next year?

Been telling you that the Dolphins were nothing more than the recipient of a God Easy schedule. They did not beat a decent team in the Reg Season...and got owned in the playoffs.

They were a feel-good story, but nowhere neat a good football team.

I thought they were neat.
