Good job, Flacco. That's some nice clutch play there... for the other team...

Yes. A part of me is still waiting for the other shoe to fall off. If we have a rash of injuries to a lot of our key players it could potentially happen. But even so we're already 5-1 at this point and even during the bye week the entire NFC West save us, lost. It would be the worst, and I mean the worst choke job in NFL history.

I was just thinking the other day that it's actually possible the 49ers could get the second seed in the NFC when it's all said and done. I think Green Bay wins the division up north. And that leaves the NFC East and NFC South. The NFC East doesn't seem to have a dominant team at this point. And I don't see one team in the NFC South dominating either as one team could potentially lose to any other team in that division. The 49ers have a fairly easy schedule the rest of the way facing Arizona twice, Seattle once, and the Rams twice. The only games that really concern me on the schedule would be at Baltimore and at home against Pittsburgh and the New York Giants.

Thing is, it's not just a possibility for us to be in Second place in the NFC overall, it's that we already are in Second place overall. Now I wouldn't worry too much about the Giants, as they're going to be coming off of a likely loss from the Pats, and they'll continue to skid after us into oblivion. The Ravens may an epic defense that will challenge us, but they much in the way of offense, so a win from them is possible, and given their performance this week, I'd now say that the game against them will be less difficult that of the game against The Steelers. The Steelers will be our single biggest challenge this season, but the birdie in my head is telling me they aren't going to the playoffs, and looking at their schedule, this is very good possibility, even if they have a winning record.

Flacco has been up-and-down, but not as bad as Romo.

Power rankings are important to you for some reason, aren't they?

It's been pretty much understood for the last year or so that the problem isn't Flacco, it's Cam Cameron. He calls bad plays 80% of the time.

What I don't get from that game is why the Ravens hardly went to Ray Rice. I get he had his first fumble in about 522 plays, but if Flacco wasn't able to get it done, why didn't they give Ray more of a chance?

Well, is Cam Cameron the reason Flacco struggled in the playoffs last season? Ever since then, Flacco just hasn't been anywhere near his best.

I have no idea why Rice wasn't involved more.

Too much blame is put on Cam. He's by no means perfect in his play-calling but some fans pretend Joe's inconsistent mechanics and pocket presence aren't just as big an issue as the play-calling. Shoddy o-line play doesn't help either.

Well, Baltimore are in a bit of a logjam now. Pittsburgh are slowly getting better. Cincinatti are no longer bad. And somehow Cleveland is racking up wins...Baltimore need to get a move on. AFC North is one of those divisions that is going to be hard to get out of.

And it just occured to me why there's so many weaker games on at the moment. Baseball World Series...

Well a lot of the divisional games were moved towards the later half of the season because the impeding lockout, although the schedule makers won't admit to this. Cleveland has yet to face the Ravens and Steelers and the same can be said for the Bengals. While the Bengals aren't necessarily bad, I wouldn't classify them as good either. I do like their chances to take down either the Ravens or Steelers at least once and they get to play the rest of the NFC West still (they lost the 49ers). I think they may finish around 8-8.

Eh, I personally love watching great grind it out defensive games.

The pass coverage by the Jags was pretty darn stellar.

Remember how Detroit made such a fuss about Harbaugh last week?

This week Detroit taunts Atlanta. So much for protocol, Schwartz...

And Harbaugh didn't even taunt. If a pat on the back during the handshake is a taunt... then Schwartz needs to grow a pair of balls.

You don't jump in the air and slap (or brazenly push) the opposing coach on the back in a dismissive way in the NFL after the game...I've never seen a coach EVER do what Harbaugh did...Now grant it I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it, but how anyone could watch the reverse angle of that film with Harbaugh clearly looking as if he's almost pushing Schwartz out of the way, and not see why things turned out that way, I don't know what to say...A premeditated taunt, no I doubt that...Hell I don't think it was a taunt at all really...A bit aloof and disrespectful? Yes I thought it was clearly that...

That was apparently mutual, though.

And Green Bay accused Atlanta of playing dirty a couple of weeks ago, so . . .
