Wish I could remember the guy I posted to about the GIRLS showing up in Philly with their bags packed to head home after the game. Pretty sure it was here.
I watched the Ravens, my home team not the GIRLS, but no way in he77 were the GIRLS gonna show after the beating the Ravens put on them in the last home game at their old stadium.
Stick a fork in them, they’re done until Jonesy straightens up and starts to think with a second brain cell.
The 72 Dolphins lost Bob Griese the 4th week of the season and wound up going 17-0. And Bob Griese was a HoF QB.
I would never want her to talk....ever....other things are okay....but absolutely no talking...
That’s why the line is most important part of the game.
Unless, of course... they are play my Boys!
Want a beer... to celebrate both our teams playing in next year's Super Bowl?
The Ravens went 11-5 (kicking the cowgirls a$$es along the way) with a rookie qb, rookie headcoach, and yes, key players on the IR.
good teams (like Clint Eastwood’s marines in Heartbreak Ridge) overcome and adapt to adversity.
Your team (like my Ravens of years past) point fingers, and look for something external to use as an excuse. God am I glad that TO spurned us here in Baltimore. He is a team killer.
How do the cowgirls feel being the NFL’s answer to the NY Yankees?
I'll drink to that!
OK, so arguing with a Pats fan about their 11-5 no playoff game is a non starter ...
how ‘bout them Ravens, then? 11-5 also. In the playoffs. Had to start a rookie qb from the first play of the first game. Lost our starting nose tackle before the season started. Lost a starting safety game 1 (maybe the 2nd game). Lost a starting cornerback midway through the season.
Every team has a story like the ‘boys or worse. The failure of the ‘boys to win a game in the playoffs or even to make the playoffs is, imo, a bit more than losing some guys to the IR.
As long as you have a line, you dont need a great QB. Ask the 2000-2001 Ravens

Twas our defense, not our offense that took us all the way that year. We went 3 games without a TD midseason, IIRC.
That was not Jamal’s huge season.
AAAAUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!! Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head. LOL
I loved that team, had season tickets and bled Columbia blue, but Lordy, I hated that song.
I sometimes used to bolt from my seat in the Dome onto the concourse and out to the ramp when we scored so I wouldn't have to hear that song.
Thanks for the fond memories, though.
I bookmarked it.
In this year or season of unpredictability wouldn’t it be fitting that Miami a winner of one game last year and 11-5 this year, Arizona who stumbled badly in December, were embarrassed and manhandled by the New England Patriots and finished 9-7, Philadelphia where there was serious talk 5 weeks ago of firing the head coach and the starting QB who finished 9-6-1 or finally San Diego who were 4-8 going into December and won their last 4 games to finish 8-8 who all made the playoffs won the Super Bowl. That would be in keeping with the Obama victory. And at the end of November with what I just mentioned how many people would have also given or taken a million to one odds that the New England Patriots, the New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would all miss the playoffs. Unbelievable, just unbelievable!
That's my Tigress of Baghdad... blonde wig and all!
It didn’t hurt that you got the Raiders, Texans, Browns twice, Bengals twice, and the Jags.

Just looking at your picture there with the fluid spilling all over the creation, I say we need to get you some ostomy supplies pronto, Bender. Are you on Medicare yet?
Cause he looked in the mirror and realized HE SUCKS.
Theresa - many of guys commenting on football threads have likely, at one time or another, suited up with all the pads and stuff, and gotten our butts kicked, as well as having kicked a few butts ourselves along the way. We have something of a visceral understanding of the game.
Tony, like Peyton Manning before him(until he won the big one) , has a reputation for being unable to 'win the big one'. And he will have it until he does. His own play cost his team dearly yesterday, not so much against my Ravens (who kicked the cowgirls in every aspect of the game), but certainly also against Pittsburgh.
It's OK for you to love him 'cuz he's cute, and a pretty good player, but he will be held to the same standard every quarterback for a contender is held to ... just win, baby.
