A 40 to 0 whooping of the Dolphins is well worth the loss of sleep.  When the rest of the country is turning the game off, I was on the edge of chair rooting for a shutout.  Not only did the defense get a shutout but they took over the scoring when Joe got knocked out of the game.    Two interceptions run back for touchdowns! WOW, WHAT A GREAT GAME!

The NFL rule is, as soon as the quarterback starts to slide the play is over.  The photo below clearing shows Joe fully in a slide and Kiko Alonso two steps away with his head up looking at Joe.  Alonso made no attempt to pull up, therefore he should have been ejected from the game.  If Tom Brady were hit like that the Boston Police would have arrested Alonso and escorted him directly to jail.  So, let’s see what the NFL does, Alonso at least should receive a fine and a one game suspension.  Get well soon Joe!

WAY TO GO RAVENS!!!

Disclaimer: Yes, we have our eyes continually on a playoff berth so all picks below are based on who we want to win, not a prediction of who will win.

GO RAVENS!!!

Thursday Night:

RAVENS trounced the Dolphins 40-0
What a great way to spend the next week knowing we just beat up on the Dolphins.  

Sunday
9:30 AM

Vikings over Browns (London)
I cant think of a better way to spend a rainy day than watching football starting at 9:30 in the morning.  So can we crack the first beer at 9:30 AM?  I’ll let you decide that one.  We are rooting against the Browns because if we actually are watching the Browns play we want them to lose.

Raiders over Bills
Both AFC teams and it’s all about the standings.  We beat the Raiders and the Bills have 4 wins.

Colts over Bengals
Another loss for the Bengals would make them 2 and 5, 2-1/2 games behind the Ravens

Chargers over Patriots
This was a tough game to pick.  If the Charger win they will be tied with us.  If the Patriots win they will be 6-2 two games ahead of us.  But the deciding factor was we just like to see Tom Brady lose.

Saints over Bears
The Saint are on a roll, rooting for the home team.

Falcons over Jets
NFC over AFC, rooting against the Jets

Eagles over 49ers
Both NFC teams, rooting for the home team and the 49ers to have the first pick in the draft.

Buccaneers over Panthers
Rooting for the home team.  The best part of this game could be the post game press conference with Cam Newton- he has had a real bad attitude toward the press lately.

Sunday
4:05
Seahawks over Texans
NFC over AFC,  rooting for the home team and our Seattle fan friends.

4:25pm
Redskins over Cowboys
I have a meeting about a big project we are working on and the person heading the meeting is a huge Redskin fan.  So I want Washington to win so he is in a good mood.

Sunday
8:30pm

Lions over Steelers
We are two games behind the Steelers and we need them to start losing.  I bet Haloti Ngata (IR) wishes he could break Big Ben’s nose one-more-time.

Monday
8:30pm

Broncos over Chiefs
This was another tough pick based on the standings but we are rooting for the home team.

BYES: Cardinals, Packers, Jaguars, LA Rams, Giants, Titans

Go Ravens!!!

Happy Halloween, enjoy the game with your little Weddle wizard!
