The Official MNF Discussion Thread: Bal-Cin AND SF-Ariz

[shakadave]

Baltimore's play calling is BIZARRE! I can't find anybody on the Ravens who's rushing for less than 5 yards a carry tonight, and time and again, when it's 3rd and 2 or 3rd and 1, Baltimore is automatically passing (and getting intercepted). Crazy.

Ed Reed is really good. Best player in the NFL, offense or defense.

 

[shakadave]

Can this Raven offense go the whole field for a TD? Seems unlikely.... They should seriously run the ball as part of this drive, but watch them not do it....

I feel bad for Ravens' fans and Bears' fan. Such amazing defensive play going to waste. Baltimore could've have atleast 1 more superbowl had it not been for their anemic offense.

Jees, he's a one-man show!

Kyle Boller sucks. Thanks for Wilfork, guys!

Too bad Ed Reed can't play QB.

Refs in screwing up another call, tilting the game in one team's favor shocker!

Looks like they make up for that horrible call on Heap with the defensive holding on 4th and goal.

 

[shakadave]

Ugly, but this is still a fantastic finish!

Makeup call next play.

Wow, you have McGahee averaging almost 5 yards a carry and so what do you do? throw passes with boller that all end up incomplete of intercepted.

 

[shakadave]

Ravens get eight straight "-and goal" plays, can't score.

What the hell... Mike and Mike are calling a live, regular season NFL Monday night game??? And ESPN wonders why viewers are leaving in droves. :bricks:

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Exciting game in the sloppiest of senses... Neither team deserved to win. Chad thinks everything is honky dorey now though, LOL. Lewis looked like he was going to throw an aneurism in the last 3 minutes. Billick is an egomaniacal moron. A phenomenal defense hasn't had an offense in years because of his ego. They will likely go get Leftwich now to seal their doom. The Bungles remain a colossal waste of offensive talent. No discipline, no defense.

49ers already well on their way to delivering us the #22 pick. (Up 7-0 on Arizona in opening minutes)

 

[shakadave]

Monty Beisel with the tackle!

 

[stinkypete]

My take - if Brian Billick still has his job by midnight tonight then the Ravens deserve to go 0-16.

They have been an underachieving team since 2001. In my time, I have watched plenty of bad coaching: Carroll, Edwards, Schottenheimer, Wandsdtat. This was the most poorly coached game I have ever witnessed. There is no reason why Brian Billick should still be a coach in this league.

SF are all hype. Alex Smith is uninspiring to say the least.

 

[D-cleater]

uggg... Niners will have to try hard NOT to win the AFC west. With Seattle looking OK in beating a pathetic Tampa Bay team, St Louis looking awefull against the Panthers.... just gotta hope they don't make it past the first round of the playoffs.

NFC is desparate for competitive teams. They are hype, but who is their competition?

Well I think the Seahawks are the clear powerhouse in that division. The Rams are more talented and Arizona has some good coaches for a change. The NFC South is pretty weak, but the other two divisions look competitive.
