I say this and FINALLY the Dolphins capitalize.

Not anymore.

Looks like we've got the division with a game to pad.

Wow, Dalton INT. Thanks Dolphins!

**Dade** · 10-07-2012, 03:09 PM

Maimi bets Cincy!

Ravens got the only stat that matters, Wins. Good teams can still win even on a off day.

Defense stepped up HUGE in the second half, Joe made a couple of key plays with his arm and legs. Ray was his usual productive self.

Wins are hard to get against anyone, I'll take a road win and love it.

While I agree with the idea that great teams do that, if you think the Ravens are a great team right now you're smoking some good shit. There's time to become a great team by the end of the year but so far we've only had 1 game in 5 where the whole team showed up and played well in all three phases of the game.

And yet we're 4-1. Sounds like you can never count on stopping our whole team. We can win shoot outs. We can win field goal duels.

Shut down our passing game? Ray goes for 100+ yards. Shut down Ray? Joe throws for 350. Stop our O from scoring? Tucker is money and the D has still only allowed 2 passing TDs all year.

Sounds like a great team to me.

First loss for KC at home in October since 2009. Just to throw that in.

Ya, I gotta say I see some holes in this team, but the strengths are OBVIOUSLY covering them up as we are 2 terrible calls inthe same game away from undefeated. This is despite "OUR BEST" only coming in one game.

Yup, I couldn't agree more! Playing this poorly, the Ravens have been lucky to eek out these wins. Glad to see the Bengals lose today....gives us some breathing room. I think we're going to need it.

Would you say we were great had we lost? Everyone would be on a major bitching fest right now about how this team sucks.

Everyone is on a major bitching feat. And it disgusts me.

Half the people doing the bitching were complaining after the Patriots win that we might be able to score but our d sucks. So now our d plays an awesome game in which it forces 4 turnovers and shuts Charles down in the entire second half so they bitch about the d's play in the first half and the offense.

Hey, wanna know what you call a team that can barely beat every team? You call them the undefeated Super Bowl Champs.

I'll take ugly wins and LOVE IT.

But they didn't lose, they won. Playing far less than they're capable of on the road and still manage to win the game, cannot be discounted.

Green Bay losing on the road to Indy. A crappy team. And that was a game they were up by a fair bit.

Mm, tastes like perspective.

**veritas** · 10-07-2012, 03:36 PM

Getting 9 points against a team that allows 34 PPG is not impressive, win or lose.

Takes the whole team to play the game, if you didn't see the whole team in those other 4 games, maybe you should get a better TV. Ravens this year are a total team that plays hard and does what needs to be done. Bend but don't break is perfect for discribing this team. I like how the team handles the ups and downs that have happened so far this year. The second half adjustment to contain their running game was key and Flacco getting a first down at a crucial point was nice to see. getting a win on the road and their only loss so farby 1 point to the eagles speaks volumes to me. This team did not lose today because they did the right thing in the fourth quarter.
