Quarterback: B+
Flacco had his best statistical game of the season. He threw for 280 yards, a pair of touchdowns, and had several successful rush attempts as well. But even so, Joltin? Joe left something to be desired. While the heavy pass rush was hardly his fault, Flacco was not at his in terms of decision-making. [...]

When thinking about pro athletes pursuing a second career in the arts (rapping), one can't help (rapping) but notice (rapping) that there's (rapping) a certain familiar element (rapping) to it all (please make them stop rapping). So it's pleasant to see the Ravens? stalwart on the defensive ...

Not, of course, that I need all that much help. But in the interest of maintaining accountability around this blog (I know, when there’s no accountability in the Bengals organization, why should I bother? I guess I’m just a glutton for punishment.) here’s a look back at my howler of a season ...

“[Flacco] was certainly better than his opposite number, Chad “I’m a giant dork and point like a tool when I scramble for a 4-yard first down” Pennington. Seriously, his goofy air-stab whenever he fell past the sticks made me lose what was a decent amount of respect I had for the guy previously. Maybe Chad [...]

OK Addicts, the Bengals game was a stink bomb for the ages. Now, on to the fun part. We have a golden opportunity in front of us. It is not often that there is a chance to put a stamp on an organization. Clark Hunt has that chance. This is ...

After an embattled season, one of the most embattled players in the Bengals locker room addressed what he hopes is a more optimistic future for both him and the team. Chris Henry, the talented but troubled wide receiver, said his once-strained relationship with head coach Marvin Lewis began to repair this season and [...]

Willis McGahee had his worst season as a professional running back this season, and it’s everyone’s fault but his.
Apparently, head coach John Harbaugh’s fitness requirements didn’t jive with those of McGahee, who believes that it led to all of the injuries he had throughout the season. If he was a quarterback and the topic [...]

Quarterback: B-
Joe Flacco had trouble finding open receivers and hitting targets against a zone defense, but he still kpet his cool and controlled the game. He made only one major mistake, which certainly hurt, but otherwise he was fine. His completion percentage was down, but many of his incomplete attempts were hitting receivers in the [...]

Well, that went from one of the most dreadfully boring games of football to an entertaining home team blowout in no time. Here?s a few thoughts running across my head as the game winds down?
Talk about rebounding. The Ravens defense had perhaps its most dominating effort in recent years. They totaled five turnovers (four interceptions [...]

“I think I will be out there and ready to play,” Rice said Wednesday. “It’s [...]

Due to the NFL's scheduling system, not all playoff-worthy records are created equal. For example, the NFC and AFC West teams had awful strengths of schedule this year, primarily because they have to factor in playing each other.Strength of schedule (SOS) is the average winning percentage of all sixteen teams played. This year, the 32 teams had SOSs ranging from .447 (San Francisco...

Playing maybe their worst game this season since the Tennessee game, the Chiefs capped of the worst season in their 49 year history losing to the Bengals 16-6. The Chiefs played uninspired football and were unable to outscore one of the leagues worst offenses who were without the services of Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh [...]

From: SF Chronicle
The Raiders need a No. 1 wide receiver who can go deep for JaMarcus Russell, taking pressure off the run game and letting the other receivers go against lesser cornerbacks. They are more likely to sign an upper-tier free-agent receiver such as T.J. Houshmandzadeh or Antonio Bryant than draft one No. 7 overall. [...]
