Nobody knows why he wasn't fired a long time ago, it probably had something to do with Harbaugh. What other Superbowl teams have done in the past doesn't really matter either, the Ravens weren't going to win a Superbowl with Cam Cameron as the OC this year.

Well they aren't going to win the Super Bowl now either. Picking a guy who wouldn't even be in the NFL if not for Tony Dungy is hardly inpsiring. And again, how does firing Cam Cameron fix allowing Charlie Batch to beat you? The defensive issues they have (injuries/age) aren't suddenly fixed by this. More than anything Joe Flacco has lost his tefflon layer and now its all on him. If he's as mediocre now as he was under Cameron he'll have nowhere to hide anymore.

And they weren't going to win it before... so he should keep his job?

The defense playing terrible also means he should keep his job?

It's not Cam Cameron's fault Joe Flacco is his quarterback and the Ravens defense is one of the worst in the AFC. I don't even think Flacco is that bad, he's just not going to be able to run an offense, that's able to keep up with a defense allowing that many points.

I think the Colts are a great story, but still a pretty below average team, but with Andrew Luck, I could totally see them going into Baltimore and beating the Ravens in the playoffs.

I'm cheering for Houston tonight as a Broncos fan. It'll be nice to see the Patriots finally face an actual test. Granted they didn't play bad in them, but the only two challenging road games the Patriots had, they lost. If this was in Houston I'd really like the Texans but with the injuries on the defensive side of the ball, I have to wonder how that Texans D will stack up against the Patriots offense. I'll take Houston tonight though. I do think the Patriots are going to really beat the 49ers badly next week though, as I've really yet to be impressed with that Niners team, including this week vs Miami.

Geez Bryant might be out for the season? What a sucky year for the Cowboys.

AR_Six · 12-10-2012, 04:40 PM

I'm just waiting for the 10-5 Seahawks to go up against the 10-4-1 49ers in week 16...

The Broncos weren't an actual test?

They were. Don't want to come off as to Homerish and downplay them, the Patriots ran the ball incredibly well but the Broncos were still a team learning to play with Peyton Manning. Pats have just had a little bit of an easy slide in their schedule, much like the Broncos, I look forward to seeing them vs quality opposition

TitovFTW · 12-10-2012, 06:20 PM

If the Texans can run the ball, the Texans will win. Here's hoping. Finally, a great Monday Night Football matchup!!!!!!!!

moon · 12-10-2012, 06:55 PM

Damn!

Jackson needs to just fall on that ball not try to pick it up and run it the other way for 6.

Why do you say that? Both teams are virtually identical in rushing stats per game and both have good rush defense.

transplant99 · 12-10-2012, 07:12 PM

Texans....your new "not ready for primetime" players.

Because the more the Texans run the ball and control the game,, the less Brady is on the field and you don't let Schuab try and win you the game in a shootout

PeteLFan · 12-10-2012, 07:16 PM

Patriots are just too good.

Ya, for some reason they have played poorly in prime time all year.

Flabbibulin · 12-10-2012, 07:18 PM

A turnover there would have been deadly

The Big Chill · 12-10-2012, 07:22 PM

Finally stop them and the refs give them a gift. Great.

Flabbibulin · 12-10-2012, 07:24 PM

Wow

It was ubcatchable and a bad call, but it was even more idiotic to step in front of Welker in the first place. No idea what the db was thinking.
