Saturday Night Football Open Thread
The Ravens and Cowboys fight to keep their wildcard hopes alive. With the 5 seed clinched I'm free to let the Cowboys hate flow.
GO RAVENS!
A loss drops the Cowboys behind the Bucs and Falcons for the wildcard (and the Eagles if Philly wins tomorrow).

no, but it helps them. So if the Cowboys win and ...
the Pats lose either of their last two and the Fins and Jets both win this week then the Pats miss the playoffs.
or if the Pats lose either of their last two and the Ravens win week 17 over the Jags, the Pats can’t get the WC.

Deion's annoying
But Collinsworth is the worst true color guy in football. (I don’t even acknowledge his existence outside of PTI)

If you like defense
Which I do, this game is awesome. I hope they pummel the Cowboys and the 24/7 media coverage of them stops.
is it good defense
Or shitty offense? I can’t figure it out, just yet. My wife has a better throwing motion than Tony Romo. He’s not even stepping into his throws, and then he’s 3/4 side arm/short arming them.
Both
Ravens definitely showed up, Lewis pumped them up. But it also has alot to do with T.O. boo hooing over balls. Witten’s been looking like the best option tonight but it looks like Romo was told not ot hurt the receivers feelings. Over under on how much he bitches tonight?

the best part
was Wade Phillips acting like ’WTF THEY CAN FAKE IT WHEN WE HAVE 11 PLAYERS ON ONE SIDE OF TEH FORMATION? WTF IS THIS SHIT!"
Mason
Man, we get to see Manning’s performance on Thursday and now this guys guts tonight. Wow. This is like “We are Marshall”. Even if you didn’t like the movie, Mason is taking it to the next level.
wow watching the second half highlights
that sack early on in the 2nd when the Ravens were inside the Cowboys 10 was brutal. He didn’t even get a 3rd step to the drop before he got leveled.

Flacco
Is gonna be pretty good when he gets better at the intermediate stuff. Big kid, real mobile, seems to have a good head on his shoulders. They need some offensive line help. Hope they don’t get it. Amazing that they had a QB Guru for a headcoach for how many years and could never get a young QB, they get a STer for a head coach and they have someone that looks like he could turn into a franchise QB. Neat stuff.
How shitty was that 3rd and 1 option play? Just QB sneak it with the defensive formation the ravens were in.
got a replay of the fake FG
ballsy, but a nice call and great execution. Dallas left a huge gap and the Ravens kept it open long enough for the punter to get through the hole.

I’m guessing Harbaugh didn’t see the pictures till half time, but definitely seems like he waited for then to spring the tarp.

They say that even if his own teammate recovers
Which is dumb.
By the way, last week broke his streak. He was turnover free.

the middle guy commented that it had been all McClain and McGahee, they hadn’t seen Steve Slaton at all tonight. After a pause the other guys say “you mean Ray Rice?”
“Oh yeah, definitely haven’t seen Slaton tonight. We haven’t seen Ray Rice.”
Other guys: “Ray Rice was inactive.”

Those two big plays (by McGehee and McClain) could easily have happened against our sad rush defense. We better shore it up!
But they didn't

Bucs 9-5
Falcons 9-5
Cowboys 9-6
Eagles 8-5-1
Bears 8-6
Cowboys have the tiebreaker over the Bucs and Falcons so they have to win out or have the Cowboys lose again week 17 to the Eagles.
If the Eagles beat the Redskins and either of the Bucs or Falcons lose out then week 17 Eagles-Cowboys is for the playoffs

Hosting a Playoff game is certainly not out of the question
The Ravens are pretty good, even though we took them to the woodshed. They can certainly beat any of these division winners.

Ravens 10-5
Dolphins 9-5
Patriots 9-5
Ravens get the wildcard if they beat the Jags next week or if two out of the Pats, Fins and Jets lose a game

Well
Well whoever wins the Jets/Dolphins game doesn’t make it now. Ravens had tiebreaks on Miami and NE I think. So NE can’t make it now if both Dolphins/Jets win this week. I think that pretty much eliminates them unless the Ravens lose. Now only the division winner from the AFC East can go now and they both have tiebreaks on NE.

Wade Phillips is like Cam Cameron or Mike Tice or Norv Turner or Brian Billick: great coordinator, lousy head coach. I get the feeling Jason Garrett is neither.
It felt good watching the Ravens stick a stake in the heart of the Cowboys’ playoff chances.
