Interesting Game of the Week...

Baltimore @ Indy

What the hell is going on with the NFL?

We have four BRAND NEW head coaches who all have winning records and the biggest surprise has to be Baltimore. There's NO WAY anyone who has a credible mouth (Except for me of course) about the NFL thought that the Ravens, a team with male cheerleaders, a marching band, a rookie QB, a rookie head coach, one less hall of fame left tackle, an aging defense and a tough schedule...would be at the top of their division...(second).

The bottom line is Flacco is doing just fine, the team's defense is healthy and they are riding their decade long philosophy of "beat the shit out of teams on defense, run a lot and control the clock. On paper their offense looks so unimpressive: 27th in points per game (19 pts), 24th in offensive yards (290 ypg), dead last in passing (131 ypg). However, on paper, their defense is THE SHIT: 3rd in pts (14 ppg), 1st in ypg (193 ypg), 1st in passing ypg (129 ypg), 1st in rushing ypg (64 ypg) and they're averaging three turnovers a game (2 int/1 fumble).

That being said, the same thing goes for Indy. No one would have guessed (except for me) that Indy looks like they've lost a step. Peyton seems like he's upset his brother is getting more ass than he is, Marvin Harrison looks like he's mildly depressed every time a camera is on him. The Colts line is incredibly young and is showing mistakes frequently and Joseph Addai seems to be running soft.

This is one of the only times I've actually thought that a team not named the Jaguars could walk out of Indianapolis with a win. A DOMINANT Ravens defense is meeting up with a fairy-like Indianapolis offense.

I'm not saying the Ravens are going to win, I'm just saying it's going to be an interesting game to watch.

UPDATE: The Colts are putting Reggie Wayne in the slot and taking complete advantage of getting Corey Ivy in a matchup. The Ravens seem flat and Indianapolis seems to have the big mo...let's see if Baltimore gets their head out of their ass.

BY THE WAY: Roger Goodell would get a lot more respect from the NFL community, and myself, if he banned male cheerleaders and marching bands from the NFL. It makes about as much sense as Sarah Palin, doing anything.
