Texans came back big this week crushing their only legit challenger the Titans in their house.
Meanwhile in Oakland, who would have thought that the loss of Jason Campbell who was sooooooooooo ordinary in Washington would be such a crushing blow to what looked like the resurgent Raiders? Kyle Boller and Carson Palmer managed to toss 6 picks (Yes, SIX) in a 28-0 embarrassment to the Chiefs. The Raiders gave up two high draft choices for Palmer and have to expect better SOON (Boller is a lost cause). They have a bye and then play Denver where Tim Tebow played crappy for 3 1/2 quarters and then John Elway like for about 7 minutes. That was against the woeful Dolphins however. Should be interesting.

Miami will probably be sending Tony Sparano a pink slip any time now.
The Texans also looked great, considering they were missing Andre Johnson and
Mario Williams. Plus the lost Daniel Manning for some unknown period of time today.
The team looks solid if they can avoid the injury bug.

Originally posted by shortcircuitI called them and said i needed their kicker and QB to have quiet weeks to extend my winning streak to 3 weeks and go 6-1 overall in my fantasy football league. How could they say no?
Ravens looked rather unimpressive against the Jaguars tonight.

Originally posted by shortcircuitMason Crosby and Dan Bailey are my two kickers, i use Crosby on away games and Bailey when Green bay are at home. It's been working a treat so far, 18 points from Crosby last week, same as Scobee... needed it as well, that was my least scoring week by far, just got lucky with the opponent.
Too bad you didn't have Scobee with 4 FG, 3 over 50 yards.
Edit: i just checked, Scobee was the person i dropped to bring Bailey in lol

If I remember correctly, they did win a Super Bowl in a year where their offense had a streak of three games without scoring a TD.

That just means you lose close ball games.
Originally posted by shortcircuitWell that was only their second loss and they have Arizona at home next week. They already have convincing wins over the Steelers, Jets and Texans. Perhaps they have a tendency to play to the level of their opposition. I still think they are the AFC team with the best chance of derailing the Pats.

The Ravens have the best point differential in the AFC and their 83 points allowed is far and away the best in the NFL.

Flacco is, at best, an average QB (probably below average) and their receiving corps is nothing to write home about, but they have a decent o-line and a solid RB in Rice. With their excellent defense, they probably have enough offense to win a championship.
Still, when your offense is prone to go into ruts like theirs is, you cannot love their chances of winning 4 straight games in the post-season. To beat a really good team on the road, their offense is going to have to play better.
