Ravens / Patriots flexed out of Sunday night game

[Money]

Foles had a jersey recently sent to Canton, Ohio. Something about throwing 7 (that's SEVEN) TD's in a single game.

Oh, and his RB just had his shoes sent to Canton, Ohio for his performance for this past Sunday.

If you think they CAN'T do anything substantial, you must really believe Flacco is worth every penny of what they're paying him this year.

No mention of Flacco just breaking Ben's record for most wins by a Super Bowl-era QB in his first six years in the league?

Wonder why?

Let me see if I can help you understand this. If Fox had the 4:25pm national game of the week instead of CBS, the Bears/Eagles game would be in that time slot and the Ravens/Pats game would still be the NBC game. Obviously you can't have an NFC game on CBS so it went down this way.

This move was completely about replacing the Steelers/Packers game which was originally scheduled to be the CBS game of the week. The NFL wants the biggest combined audience with both games.

Ravens/Pats and Bears/Eagles >>> Steelers/Packers and Ravens/Pats. Or more simply:

Bears/Eagles >>> Steelers/Packers

Eagles/Bears>>>>>Ravens/Pats.

That's all you really had to say.

Um....because I don't care?

Let's count SB rings, shall we?

Big Ben - 2

Flacco - 1

Any questions?

 

[redseat]

How so, 2 teams that are hoping for help to get in the 6th spot that SF owns.....Or a look at the last 2 standing in the last 2 years running AFCCG ????
The Quitter Bears and the X Dream team, Seriously ?????

These two teams are fighting for a spot in the play-offs. Patriots are already in....

But I would rather have Pats v Ravens

 

[Money]

Eagles/Bears>>>>>Ravens/Pats.

That's all you really had to say.

Sure...let's ignore the fact that the only game getting bumped from national exposure is the Steelers/Packers. You can't be this stupid.

Why the spin? You were talking about recently broken records.

It's also pretty pathetic that as a Steelers' fan, you have to ride the coat tails of other teams.

 

[briz almighty]

patriot games are the most entertaining games in the league. they can beat any team with half their team not playing. its quite entertaining. especiacially when every other team plays their sb against you. cleveland players postgame lockeroom: "we wanted this one bad".

It's funny how you think teams don't try unless they play the Patriots. You are truly delusional.

 

[Oldschool739]

Great Comeback.

I rip your stupid ass post to shreds with facts and that's your comeback.

I've taken shits stronger than that.

I was trying to be kind but you obviously are not sharp enough to see that.....your point don't make sense, they are fighting for a playoff spot and then you say NE is in and that we won't make it in...You call that strong, you probably suck at fishing too then.....We are in right now, and it's up to someone to change that before they spout off their pie hole....Woooops line broke !!!!!

 

[Oldschool739]

Hater?

I'm a hater just because I'm saying the Philly/Chi game looks like it's going to be a better game than NE/Bal?

Dude, your club NARROWLY escaped one of the worst teams in the league. Ditto for the Pats.

They'll win their division by default like they do every year.

Both teams are struggling right now and if you can't admit that, you're a homer. It's that simple.

Philly is on fire right now, so is Chicago. Either one of those teams would be the snot out of the Ravens this week.

Allow me to show you how big of a homer you are.....

NO ONE, at this point last year, thought the Ravens were going to 'do anything substantial'.

Right?

Who won the SB?

That's right....a team no one thought would, 'do anything substantial'.

If lightning struck for the Ravens, it can strike for anyone else - including the teams YOU don't think are worth much but are playing MUCH better ball than your club right now.

Your club got bumped out of the night time slot because they BARELY survived the Vikings. In short, they sucked. If you want to blame someone, blame your club for not playing better.

You missed a little something Sparky, we'd been in contention 5 yrs straight and 1 dropped pass from the SB the year before, these bums haven't sniffed the SB in years and the Bears was a fluke the one time they were there in a coons age.....They are more than likely, a flash in the pan, especially the Bears who just lost recently to the Vikes at home I think.....We didn't just catch lightening in a bottle, we'd been making it for 5 years....

 

[Bunkamania]

I'm glad they flexed us out of the night game because I hate being out there that late.

I thought last week was the last game that I was going to attend this year but, now, it doesn't appear that way.

Thank you Eagles or Bears or whoever the hell took that time slot!!!

well its the truth. dont be sad teams dont get up to play matt ryan and the falcons. lool

 

[Southieinnc]

Foles and McCowan are due for the real them to show up in a game that has 10 int's divided up between them and a couple fumbles on top of that.....Does anybody besides some homer fans and their Momma's really believe they are going to do anything substantial ????....If so, I have some Ocean front property in the middle of the Desert I will sell you cheap and reasonable.....

Either the Eagles or the Bears would crush Baltimore......

Either the Eagles or the Bears would crush Baltimore......

The Bears "crushed" the Ravens 23-20 in OT at Chicago on 11/17.

No, you've made it to the SB ONCE since 2000.

That's it.

And twice you've been shown the exit by a team from Pittsburgh.

But, correct me if I'm wrong...I don't think the Saints sniffed the SB before they won theirs. Right?

The Giants won it in 2007 but hadn't been there since.....when exactly? The 90's?

When we won ours in 2005 we hadn't won one in over 2 decades.

You never know who's going to win it - and you guys didn't look like you were even going to make the playoffs last year.

Right now, whether you want to admit it or not, the Eagles and Bears are both playing great ball and you're not. You should have straight up owned the Vikings and you know it. You struggled. The same can be said for the almighty Pats against the Browns.

The Philly/Chi game is flat out the better game.

Let me get this straight:

Ravens beat Vikings 29-26 = Ravens are struggling

Bears lose to Vikings 23-20 = Bears playing great ball

Ravens winning last 3 in a row = Ravens are struggling

Bears losing 2 of last 3 = Bears playing great ball

Bears getting thumped by Rams 42-21 = Bears playing great ball

Does this about cover your stance???

Bears and Vikings are divisional rivals, and they always play you tough.

You should have owned the Vikings and you know it. You can't admit it, but you know it.

The Ravens have been struggling all year. The ONLY reason you're in the position you're in for the last WC spot is that us and the Browns suck worse than you.

You're 29th in total offense right now. Did you know that?

20th in passing and 29th in rushing.

Please tell me how that's NOT struggling.

The Bears/Philly game is going to be a better game than the Pats/Ravens game. It's that simple. I don't hear Pats fans whining about it not being on prime time. Why are Ravens fans?

Wait. Flacco vs. Brady Not Good Enough For Primetime?
The defending Super Bowl champs only getting one home primetime game is “weak.”
That’s how WNST’s Luke Jones sees it.
“That’s not to blame or point the finger at any one entity, it’s just to me unfortunate,” he said.
The Ravens were set to play the Patriots on NBC’s Sunday Night Football (Dec. 22) in front of a national audience, but the league announced yesterday that the two have been bumped to 4:25 p.m. on CBS in favor of Eagles vs. Bears, a game that may have bigger playoff implications.
While there can be some positives to the schedule change, when reading fan reaction, there’s a feeling of disrespect, as if the team wasn’t worthy of such a big stage.
Presumably, the league made the change because it thinks Eagles-Bears will draw bigger TV ratings than a rematch of the past two AFC championship games.
“A [championship] rematch … isn't good enough for primetime anymore,” wrote ESPN’s Jamison Hensley.
WNST’s Glenn Clark isn’t buying the notion that ratings will be better, especially because the star power at quarterback pales in comparison to two Super Bowl MVPs.
“What possible reason would NBC have for wanting Nick Foles and Josh McCown on a Sunday night more than they want Tom Brady and Joe Flacco?” Clark asked NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal.


All Ravens fans should boycott that game just to prove the bobblheads wrong....
And to all you haters; Lest you forget !!!!

Can't Touch This !!!!

I get what you're saying but both teams have looked pretty bad recently. Add to that Brady just lost Gronk for the season, yes?

The Ravens offense is 29th, 30th and 29th respectively rushing, passing and total yards.

I know it hurts for Ravens fans to admit but the Eagles/Bears game looks to be better.

The Pats and Ravens are clearly not as good as they were when they met last year.
