Sunday game thread. No Ravens Go O'S!

**Boulderraven** · 09-30-2012, 11:21 AM

Orioles must win!!
On the NFL side... Like to see Bengals and Patriiots lose the most. Doubt Houston loses. Kinda of blah NFL day. Oakland @ Denver, KC vs SD and Philly/Gmen look like the best games. Cant even have the Steelers to root against with a bye.

Go Niners (v. Jets), Bills (v. Pats) and Jags (v. Bengals)!

The Patriots and Bengals are on the road, at least.

Also, I root against the Jets just because. In addition to Revis Island being closed for the season, they'll also be without Dustin Keller and Stephen Hill today. ... This game could really be ugly for them.

Like this thread. Sporting my Orioles T shirt today. It's nice to watch other teams compete knowing your team already won earlier in the week. I'll be watching the Pats, Saints, Chiefs and Jets closely today via red zone...and most importantly the O's, yanks, Athletics and angels. Lots of scoreboard watching to do today LOL

how long has it been since Baltimore was in first place at the same time in MLB and NFL? Don't think it's happened since...1971??
Go O's!!!

Jets defense looks unspectacular.

**Tyrian** · 09-30-2012, 12:42 PM

Chargers destroying our next opponent. I'm sure the coaches and players are taking plenty of notes.

**Paintballguy** · 09-30-2012, 12:48 PM

Ryan Fitzpatrick is terrible. He just threw his second interception for the day.

**lobachevsky** · 09-30-2012, 12:51 PM

McLouth leadoff HR! Bases loaded, no outs! C'mon O's, let's plate these guys!

Meanwhile Jays up 2-1 on Skanks, Strangers 2-0 over Angles...early signs look good but don't hold yer breath...

ETA: 3-0 after 1, go Birds!

**Paintballguy** · 09-30-2012, 12:56 PM

This Orioles team is awesome to watch. You never know who's going to come through.

**lobachevsky** · 09-30-2012, 01:12 PM

Curious fact: the Orioles' magic number for the postseason is 2 out of the next 5 games--even though there are only 4 remaining in the regular season. One more O's win or Angels' loss guarantees them at least a tie for a WC slot (TB has 4 more losses with 4 left, LA has 3 more losses with 5 left) & therefore at worst a Game 163 playoff...& a win there would send them to the official WC 1-game playoff.

Yet all of a sudden the Bills are right in it. Pats looking very mortal at the moment.

**ballhawk** · 09-30-2012, 01:24 PM

Its all about the O's today..!!!

They are up 4-0 after Hardy just hit one out. We could take control of the east today.

LETS GO O's!!!!!!!!

I don't get what the point of Tebow is with the Jets. I feel like they picked him up on an impulse buy before they realized he has little fit or purpose on the team. They're struggling to justify his presence by sticking him anywhere they can, which mostly just looks like it disrupts their offense.

Yeah, they came out of nowhere. I hope the Bills pull it out somehow.

Jersey sales and PR.

O's up 6-1, middle of the 6th..!!!!!

Shame they imploded in the second half. Near 600 yds given up and 6 turnovers... Pats putting up 50+.

**lobachevsky** · 09-30-2012, 03:19 PM

O's win, 6-3, but crap--for awhile it looked like they'd take sole possession of the AL East, or at least clinch a WC...but nooooo, Skanks come back, Angels come back (scoring 2 when down 1 with 2 out in the top of the 9th no less).

ETA: They could still clinch that spot this evening, since LA and TEX have another one to play tonight. But crap...

Nakamura just horribly blew coverage on a 50 yard bomb to Roddy white for what will probably be the game winning drive.

That was very impressive by the Matt Ryan and the Falcons.

Panthers have a horrible defensive scheme. How they let White get so deep with only a single safety deep is beyond me. And to not guard the sidelines at all with the Falcons having no time outs...
