It's not going to be an easy game with the short week but we have the chance to carry over the momentum from SD and keep things rolling.

My point was...this is going to be a tough close game.

Young gets the game ball from me.

That win, the WAY we won probably just turned the season around.

I can't believe Dallas pulled out that win and Philly did what they did to Oakland, but I think we're going to end up winning this division.



Side note...so pissed at local CBS.

After the first play of the overtime GW drive, they said "due to contratual obligations we must switch to the Cleveland-Baltimore game" and changed it to a blue screen that just said "Browns vs. Ravens" in the middle for about 3 full minutes and I missed the last drive and the win! I watched the whole thing, recorded it too.

Someone should be fired!

I understand the contract issue, but why switch to a screen-saver for almost 5 minutes while a game is being won?

I told my wife about the infamous '68 MNF Raiders game where they switched to Heidi.

Argh.

Scrambled and tried to pull up ESPN 980 to hear the end and my wife saw the score on the bottom of NFLN that said we had 30 points. I hate you, CBS.

I will say this, that last drive in OT was a thing of beauty!

But they didn't get any sacks, which means they're obviously not doing their job.

Nevermind the fact that Rivers and P. Manning are two of the least sacked quarterbacks in the league. In fact, the only full season starter that has been sacked less than those two is Matt Stafford (who they've also played).

I was at The Greene Turtle sports bar and every booth has their own TV (along with TV's all over the bar) so when the game switched over to Browns v. Ravens, we scrambled trying to find a station that had the Skins game. We found one and I got to watch the last drive.

I was watching in Baltimore, does anyone in the DC or VA area know if the game switched over there, or was it just some freak luck that there was a station that didn't switch over.

Good points, but it is odd how quiet they've been sack wise lately. Not just yesterday but it's been a few games. Rak has gone 4 games now without one.

[Lotus]

We are halfway through the season. Rak has 3 total sacks: 2 against OAK, 1 against GB.

A pace for 6 sacks for the season is not good enough.

BTW Kerrigan is on a pace for 13 sacks for the season.

[MTK]

Rak always seems to go on streaks. He's due for a 3 sack game soon.

DC CBS kept the Skins game on till the end. That's just the rules of the TV contracts. Especially with Baltimore's game coming on next.

[Monkeydad]

Yeah, in PA, I can only get the Harrisburg stations, not Baltimore and definitely not DC.


I've called Dish Network and asked if I could pay to get some DC stations for this Ravens-get-priority stupidity but nope, they couldn't get game out-of-town local stations despite giving me a Chicago and a New York station. (WGN, WPIX)

I agree that Kerrigan and Orakpo have been unusually quiet as of late, which is odd considering the defense as a whole has played significantly better. I'm not sure what to make of it.

[skinsfaninok]

I think people are just expecting something out of Rak that he can't give, he's just not very good at rushing the QB, He'll tease u one game out of 5 but then vanish as he has done once again.

I still think BOTH belong lined up as DEs with a hand on the ground. Neither should be in coverage or doing ANYTHING other than pursuing the QB on every down.

If we were a 4-3, that's where they'd probably be.

[Evilgrin]

Only resign Orakpo if the money makes sense, it's the unit as a whole that isn't getting to the QB enough. He is definately not quite doing enough, but he makes a tackle for a loss every game. We don't have enough speed on defense, and he is probably one of the faster players. Which is a bit scary....


I give the refs an F for the game, they were just terrible. So many bad calls.

[skinsfaninok]

the last call against SD was embarrassing for the NFL , Garcon wasn't even hit
