Today's first game features the Texans and the Ravens. I am not a big Baltimore fan, and even with their undefeated home record, I feel that Joe Flacco is going to fail to deliver when they need him most. The Texans' running game is the best among the playoff teams, and I think they are going to ride the momentum they had from a week ago to pull off an upset on the road.

Alright! 3 n out
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
What an utterly moronic decision by Jacoby Jones.
DisplacedBuckeye - January 15, 2012
lol That was lame!!
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
Jacoby Jones is getting cut tomorrow.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
That was awful.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Crap. Horrible mistake by Jones.
burntorangeandbrown - January 15, 2012
Obvious call. Dumb D
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Nice drop Walters
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Barf…wonderful relationship with Ray Lewis. Until he stabs him.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
The city of Baltimore looks like shit.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
That’s because it is. Don’t venture more than a block or two from the stadium if you’re ever there…little slummy shanty towns.
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
It does.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
which is why it is surprising that every natl media person/commentator shits all over Cleveland. The give the RRHoF props sometimes but thats it.
You couldn’t pay me to live in either Pittsburgh or Baltimore. The traffic, lack of arts/culture, etc.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Dude, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Cleve. I really do. But it is awful compared to either Baltimore or Pittsburgh. I’m not trying to say either city is world-class, but they both have all the personality of Cleveland, plus actual nice, thriving areas where young professional people actually want to live.
Cap'n Snegiryov - January 15, 2012
I’m taking the wife and kids there tomorrow to the National Aquarium . I’m hoping to return home without a knife wound.
Dawg Nuts - January 15, 2012
Would change plans.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
You’re gunna get an STD from the toilet.
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
If I have to do “that which requires sitting”, I’ll visit the sidewalk outside the stadium.
Dawg Nuts - January 15, 2012
It’s airborne there too. It’ll travel up your bumhole.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
I’m good, I’ll have Joe Thomas watching over me. He makes all things possible, including taking a disease-free shit on the Ravens’ sidewalk.
Dawg Nuts - January 15, 2012
Don’t forget about the herpes you’ll get from Baltimore. I wouldn’t even sit on a toilet in that city.
Simmsinns - January 15, 2012
lol, Cleveland
Cap'n Snegiryov - January 15, 2012
Dawg Nuts - January 15, 2012
Pretty quiet here. People must be at church mourning Tebow.
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
Man on a Ledge looks like it’s going to be as bad as Phonebooth.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
Phonebooth came to mind also. lol
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
I know really….what’s next Man in Port-a-Potty?
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
Sticky Icky Ricky sighting
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
He can still play. Deep down I kinda root for him.
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
Bet they’d rather still have McGahee though.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Get Jones out of there!
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
Nice “lob” pass Yates.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Put Delhomme in!
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
Shit
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
They way the Douches (Texans) are playing, I gonna set the DVR to record the Pats/Ravens game next week.
J. W. - January 15, 2012
I have to be a Pats fan? I really hate that. I so hope that the pack wins, I cant stand the little manning douche bag.
J. W. - January 15, 2012
Ok I’m ready for the Packer game now…
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
likewise
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
TV is now one HGTV. Done with NFL till this afternoon.
J. W. - January 15, 2012
Ed Reed is hurt…so thats something
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
I certainly hope not, Chris!
Brownsbacker488 - January 15, 2012
Why do people eat at Applebee’s?
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
That shit is gross.
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
More than gross.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Worst restaurant to go to eat at.
Everything is pre made unless you ask for it on the flattop. Even then, it’s been sitting in the walk in for weeks probably.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
flattop?
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Flat top grill.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
Plenty of time left in this game for a comeback.
HenryDawg - January 15, 2012
They need to get the run game going.
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
Yeah I don’t know why they’re throwing so much
HenryDawg - January 15, 2012
Because minus Reed, the Ravens are supposed to have a bad secondary.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
You see Ray throw an elbow at the recievers head?
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
So I guess assholes #2 are winning
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
Pawn Stars now Hard Core Pawn…clever
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Hard Core Pawn is fake as hell. Horrible acting.
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
They’re both set up, but it’s definitely a weak attempt to cash in on reality Pawn shops.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
I know. Hard Core throws in a bunch of fighting though. Tru TV sucks. That Lizard Towing is the worst show on TV.
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
Most reality shows are over the top anymore. I still like the Gordon Ramsay shows though.
Dawg Nuts - January 15, 2012
Who doesn’t?
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
There’s another Browns commercial
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
we’re moving up in the world
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
LOL Cosmo Kramer
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
"I'm Cosmo Kramer...The Assman"
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
Great episode
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Connor Barwin...
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
He’s like 30% Dr. House 70% Kramer
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
I don’t see it whatsoever.
Simmsinns - January 15, 2012
Only good parts of those commercials are the cheesehead at the end. Raji dancing is just creepy.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
dumb challenge
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
No Johnson for Pollard. Ha!
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Arian Foster is just telling the team to get on his back.
DisplacedBuckeye - January 15, 2012
Arian Foster achievement.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
BEAST MODE!
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
Yeah, fuck you Baltimore
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
Bout time
'thedrive'ruinedmy9thbirthday - January 15, 2012 via mobile
We have a game. Foster is so good. How was he undrafted???
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
It’s not realllllllllllllllllllllllly Foster, but it kind of issssssssssssssssss Foster.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
Yes, he sucked before they had Vickers.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Definitely not Vickers.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
lol
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Great block by Vickers. Props to him.
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
Vonte Leach was insulted by the Texans offer?
YOU’RE A FB. STFU AND GO CRY WITH VICKERS.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
WATT’S UP!!!
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
Houston is lucky to only be down a few at the half.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Shannon Sharpe….nooooooooooooo
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Why is Suh talking on CBS?
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
Need more mumbling
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Suh or Mushmouth?
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
Average Joe… get rid of the ball, moron
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
Dawg Nuts - January 15, 2012
Flacco is awful.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
Seriously. Jacoby needs cut.
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
That one was on the RG
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
Mr. Flacco..."Please welcome, Mr. J.J. WATTson!"
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
“I believe the children are our future…Thank You!”
Dawg Nuts - January 15, 2012
Ohh Vickers, Y U so not that good?
SpecialBrownie - January 15, 2012
What the hell is it with that crossbar
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
Great catch
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
4 and out. Suck it Ratbirds.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Watt is so freakin good.
The Licensed Pessimist - January 15, 2012
Like Brady’s balls?!
Simmsinns - January 15, 2012
Jones….makes amends…sort of.
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
Stupid pass…Schaub’s job is more than safe.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
NE is going to eat the Ratbirds for lunch
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
yup
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
you don’t have to be that good anyway, we were a series away from beating them
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
Tony Grossi
TonyGrossi 2m "charleslynchnj:Would you trade #4 for Flacco?"//heartbeat.I have no words.
DisplacedBuckeye - January 15, 2012
For real? NFW?
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Yeah, he said that. He actually did. Must be watching yesterday’s game or something.
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
unbelievable.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Just read his twitter page…f’ing wow.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
@TonyGrossi yep Flacco sure is awesome….your negative attitude makes me sick. Please find another job or drown in your own piss
lol
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
Nice work sir.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
wasn’t me but I’ll take the credit
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
The orange idiot strikes again.
HenryDawg - January 15, 2012
Down by contact.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Bah, a half decent QB could have had this game
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
I think Texans fans are probably sick to their stomachs. I really think they had a shot at the Super Bowl if Schaub is in there.
DisplacedBuckeye - January 15, 2012
lol
jlsclarity - January 15, 2012
I think they probably win this game with Schaub. No way they beat New England.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
I think they have a legit shot at beating NE, although yes, the odds would probably be low. Like I said…had a shot at the Super Bowl.
DisplacedBuckeye - January 15, 2012
yeah, not no way but a slim chance.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
There is defense is good enough to throw off Brady.
HenryDawg - January 15, 2012
absolutely. I lol because I said the same thing at the same time.
jlsclarity - January 15, 2012
They had a great chance to beat NE. Their defense is good, and their offense is very effective. I would have considered them favorites if they would have had Williams also
The Licensed Pessimist - January 15, 2012
Good, they were complete douches over at BRB.
Dawg Nuts - January 15, 2012
Stupid mistake. What a bummer for Houston fans that Schaub went down.
jlsclarity - January 15, 2012
Another stupid throw into tight coverage. Very DA.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Rookie starting like his 6th game? Wasn’t that bad of a pass, he’s throwing to Andre Johnson too.
HenryDawg - January 15, 2012
He had a few underthrown balls today. Looks not as good as he has in other games. Definitely has some potential though.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Stop sucking Ed Reed’s dick. That ball was high and overthrown. Totally unnecessary. Yates had no need to risk it.
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
All NFL commentators love Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. It is revolting.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
They are HOF bound players and Reed is one of the best players I’ve seen on the field, but that pick was entirely on the QB
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
Sure, but one is a murder and the other isn’t far behind.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Ratbirds are going to get smoked next weekend.
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
Hate cheering for the Patriots or Boston in general, but yeah. I don’t think they stand a chance, especially if Brady is in FU-mode.
DisplacedBuckeye - January 15, 2012
Easily, yet the fellatio will continue for the Ravens D no matter what.
Also, Tom Brady will get his share of reach arounds from the crack NFL analysts.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
13 and 1/3 yard line?
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
Truly a game of inches.
jlsclarity - January 15, 2012
YEAAAAAAAHHH BABY!
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
Haha they didn’t get it
BuenosAires_Dawg - January 15, 2012
wow.
jlsclarity - January 15, 2012
LET’S GO JACOBY!
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
If they’re intelligent, they kick it out of bounds here.
DisplacedBuckeye - January 15, 2012
I hope Jacoby takes one home w him.
jlsclarity - January 15, 2012
And isn’t the Baltimore Beatdown blog the worst named on SB Nation…how lame.
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
The only thing they beat is their meat.
HenryDawg - January 15, 2012
“Baltimore Beats Pud”
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
50 yards in 45secs is possible.
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
2 more plays.
jlsclarity - January 15, 2012
Just get the FIRST DOWN!! smh.
jlsclarity - January 15, 2012
Why the hell you do that?
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
Hail Mary when you have time? Wow.
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
RATBIRDS are still getting torched next weekend.
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
That hit Walter in the shoulder, didn’t it?
DisplacedBuckeye - January 15, 2012
I would be pretty happy if I’m a Houston fan.
HenryDawg - January 15, 2012
long term yes. Need to resign Foster though.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
I’d be mad as hell at TJ Yates. I’m not even a Houston fan and I’m mad as hell at TJ Yates.
Simmsinns - January 15, 2012
REEEEEEEEDDDDD! Ok, let’s be classy….
Kosar19 - January 15, 2012
Screw him. I hope he’s too hurt to play next week.
Brownie's Year - January 15, 2012
Likewise.
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012
Hear Greg Gumble gasp in horror when he saw the replace of Reed getting hurt?
kingcrimson2 - January 15, 2012

Anyone else catch the announcers refer to Vickers as an ex Raven? I threw up all over my TV.
