General Analysis

Maybe Mike is right

I’m back in my recliner after a week of vacation in Cannon Beach, OR, and am struck by the meaning in this meaningless Giants/Pats game. Forget the undefeated thing. I’m not sure anyone could convince me that the way they are performing in this game won’t have a positive effect...

Power Rankings Week 16

Minnesota takes a dive. Seattle seems to have settled into a third tier of teams (fourth if you consider the Pats on a tier by themselves). If you’d like to play with the source spreadsheet yourself, it’s stored here. .nobrtable br { display: none } Rank Team Team Strength Change...

PLAYOFFS: Might be more like 2005 than we thought

As you’re likely aware by now, the Seahawks current first-round opponent changed to the Washington Redskins yesterday when they beat the Vikings. My first thought, was “hooray!” I thought Minnesota was among the hottest teams in football, and could bring two things that travel well into Qwest, a good defense...

DIVISION NEWS: Patrick Willis is a monster

Odd game in SF today where the 49ers surprisingly beat the Bucs. Bryant Young played his last game in SF before he retires. Jon Gruden rested his starters in the second half, even though they had a chance to push the Hawks into the final week for the #3 seed....

Game Thread: Ravens @ Seahawks

It looks like anyone covering the Seahawks this week is required to write about how this team is weaker than you might think and that our running game is weak. Let me also inform you that Paul Allen is rich, we’re hurting from the loss of Steve Hutchinson, and that...

Injury Report

Lewis likely out for Sunday

This is the worst kind of new regurgitation, but in case you didn’t see, the Ravens likely won’t have Ray Lewis on Sunday. If nothing else, I hope that reduces our chances of a injury on offense. Can we please just roll these guys? I don’t want to spend another...

Lazy week

I haven’t spent a second looking at our opponent this week. I admit to being a little enamored with my Blazers 9-game winning streak. As Mike pointed out, we’re facing another rookie QB this week, and another weak offense/strong defense. Losing this week would take a lot of the luster...
