Around SBN: Roy Nelson Willing to Pay for His Next Opponent's Drug Test

Sunday NFL Games 'Open Thread'

With the Baltimore Ravens off today after their 16-6 great win over the San Francisco 49ers on Thanksgiving night, fans can sit back, enjoy the rest of the league's games and figure out which team to root for that will help the Ravens standings in the playoff race as well as the AFC North. So join Baltimore Beatdown in this 'Open Thread' to post your comments while watching this afternoon's games.

While Baltimore will continue to lead the AFC North regardless of what the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, we will still root for the Cleveland Browns to upset the Bengals, as well as the Kansas City Chiefs to do the same on prime time when they host the Steelers on Sunday Night Football.

Around the rest of the AFC, plan on rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles, lead by QB Vince Young replacing the injured Michael Vick, to upset the visiting New England Patriots. The Houston Texans travel to play the Jacksonville Jaguars and while the Jags are not a good team this season, the Texans have lost their starting QB and hey, Jax beat the Ravens, so anything can happen, right?

Browns statistically has the best pass defense in the league. Hillis is back. I’m thinking upset.

Only way KC can win is if Ortons gets sometime.

Huge stop at the goal line

pitts D is vulnerable… Palko can best them and pitt fans are nervous

Shadow said Palko is better than Flacco

by Evan Skev on Nov 27, 2011 5:08 PM EST up reply actions  

Would love that. Hopefully Palko can show why he was chosen to start over Flacco at University of Pittsburgh.

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang

You miss it again. Read Kevin’s comment, then read mine.
He is saying a team sucks, because they had a bad game against a bad team. But they won.
The Ravens had bad games against bad teams, they lost. This is not a pissing contest, a pride rally, or whatever the hell you want it to be. This is pointing out true things.

Lame on Bowe's part,

but absurd of Palko to throw the ball when there were 5 Steelers and at most 2 Chief’s in the area. Absurd. A handoff to McCluster would have been better in that situation, gain 15, then take 2, maybe 3 shots to the end zone.

Not that that would have actually worked for this team with this QB.
