bend over and spread em Balti!

holy fuck. Manning. Is. God. I only heard the game on the radio but Denver's D sounded impressive as well and without their two best players.

bad start to the season betting wise, but I ain't too upset

Yeah, after Jacoby + Oher got hurt at the end of the 1st half the Ravens' O completely melted down. Pass protection was garbage, Flacco was inaccurate, and surely we HAVE to have the worst starting WR/TE core in the NFL without Jacoby. Nobody was open. Six yards in the third quarter. Two first downs between the 3rd and first half of the 4th. The D was completely worn out, hence the Manning stats.

Manning looks incredible though, and this Denver team is going to be REALLY hard to beat this year. Don't sleep on DRC. Good luck.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I'm overreacting but nobody can slow Manning down. Too many weapons, not to mention the best D he's had backing him up.

Denver is and should be the heavy favorite to win it all. They were even before tonight, but fuck, after that.... shit.

He plays Oakland in 2 weeks as well lmao. Jeez, that won't be pretty.

 

[Danielson]

So, Danny, what were you saying about RB vultures?
Meet the new fantasy football pain in the ass: Random touchdowns to Andre CalWHAT? BLOCKED ARE YOU KIDDING ME
Touchdown Wes Welker. :downer: Give the Denver D some credit, but holy tits. Get it together guys!

Oher's injury was devastating last drive

I really hate them basically. Thats why i dont get the stock of fantasy rb.

Sorry about blindside. That's a huge loss. Good thing next game is against the mistake by the lake. The Cleveland clowns

Cleveland will be a tough out in 2013.

Cleveland will be a tough out in 2013.

6-8 wins at best.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Right, but they will be in most every game they play, thus why I called them a tough out and not a playoff contender.

not that it would SHOCK me if they made the playoffs, but I'm not going to sit here and predict that.

Baltimore first home game since superbowl, after a beating to the broncos. Cleveland Browns are going to get smoked.

They do have a nice little d and dat bad man trent

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Baltimore isn't good enough to smoke anybody. That offense has literally nothing besides Rice and Smith, and now the O Line is beat up. The defense isn't nearly as bad as Peyton made them look, but this isn't the Ravens of yesteryear. I can't count on them to just come out and whoop someone's ass because they are pissed off because they got their ass kicked.

 

[Danielson]

Baltimore is going to do work at home. I'd say a fairly easy win, their offense never got in rhythm yesterday. People act like that defense did a god damn thing against peyton in the playoffs last year either. Nah, they let up 31. Ray Rice is going to get it turned on and they will win big. Mark my words.

I'll hold off until after seeing Cleveland play Sunday, but assuming they look improved as I expect I'd be willing to make a sig bet regarding Cleveland staying within 10 points. Might do the spread depending on where Vegas sets the line

I'd be willing to do that.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Aight try to remember that for next week. My memory isn't exactly a steel trap.

 

[Danielson]

I won't forget.

Maybe I'm overreacting, but think this is the Ravens of yesteryear. Don't see how we can win games with a pass-happy offensive coordinator and this receiving corps, but you already said that. The defense will be fine but that doesn't matter in 2013. Enjoy your division crown, Cincy.
