    I was talking more about this

    http://deadspin.com/steve-smiths-re...ource=deadspin_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

    Fact is Baltimore should have been dead and buried after Cincy's first possession of the 2nd half ( I don't care what the rule is, that Eifert call is bullshit). That is the third straight Bal v Cin game that the Ravens haven't showed up until the 2nd half.

    All that being said, go do is a favor and kill Pittsburgh.

    Early days, but the Green Bay Packers look to be making an early claim as Superbowl favourites this year.

    Im no aficionado, but they despatched the Seahawks last week and are making KCC look like amateurs tonight.

    I'd say Pats and Packers are favourites right now. Bookies have Pack at 4/1, Pats at 9/2

    Left 3 20+ point RB's on my bench in fantasy (Blount, Gore, Randle) and left on Lacy and Ivory who have a combined 6.6 points. Losing by 3, why?!

    I think you are being wildly optimistic.

    Our offense is seriously short of playmakers and our secondary is none too clever either. This team in it's current state has no chance of making the post season.

    Looking at Ravens remaining schedule I'd say they'll win 7/8, but you wouldn't have guessed they'd have lost to Oakland so anything can happen. Still, you can't really be too optimistic about an 0-3 team.

    I've said Kaepernick sucks for ages. He is just an athlete playing QB. Has zero technique or ability, his decision making is awful. RG3 on the other hand was a decent ookie that Shanahan ruined by playing him when he was injured, still should be doing better though.

    Also, Andrew Luck is apparently "injured", I'd say it's so they have an excuse for his terrible performances.

    Patriots trade for Bostic from Chicago and Hicks from New Orleans. The Front 7 gets even better. One of the best in football (in before I'm bias from MacEwan). Collins is on All Pro numbers so far.

    Another TE for the Saints. It seems like we have more TEs than WRs at the minute.

    On a more positive note, my Saints throwback shirt with my name on the back has just been delivered from Aliexpress and it's a belter!

    Breshad Perriman has surgery on his PCL. Stick a fork in this season, it's done. Even if we win tonight we aren't winning 9 or 10 games with the dross we have at WR.

    I'm not sure if I want the Ravens to win since Steelers look like a competitor for home field or the Steelers to win, since the Ravens would be done and I hate them.

    You needn't worry about either scenario. We won't make the play-offs and the Bengals will win the AFC North.

    We'll be back though.
