Baltimore is likely to start getting comparison's to the 85 bears again soon.

So when did the site spring back to life? I last checked just after the one o'clock games had started and the server was still down.

Pittsburgh is confusing. They dominated that game last week and they were running the ball like they hadn't in years. And their schedule looked favorable. I would have predicted a big run....

Baltimore has been impressive. They beat the snot out of Pittsburgh, had an underrated victory in Cleveland and rolled the Panthers. All this while dealing with a crazy month of drama.

Baltimore looks really fucking good. That win at M&T will be huge for us down the road. Pittsburgh looks like an 8-8 team to me. They drill a halfway decent team on the road, get all the media hype for the next week, then lose at home to Mike Glennon and the Bucs who lost by 42 last week. Cleveland is solid but still a year away. They'll likely beat us once.

I guess his durability is a question mark, but after watching the Vikings game I'm glad the Browns passed on Bridgewater twice. They'd be a ten win team with him at QB. Apparently their owner stopped the GM from picking him at 22

God bless the ineptitude of the Browns. They fleeced the Colts out of a 1st rounder for Trent Richardson. Then waste the pick on Johnny Eightball. They could've had Bridgewater or Carr..

Worked out well for Teddy too..... Say what you will about Norv as an HC, but he's had some luck with quarterbacks.

I also think Zim has more longterm security than Pettine.

Both major factors for quarterback development.

some guys are just meant to be OC/DC's...and not head coaches. Dick in Pitt comes to mind, as well as Coslet.

Coslet probably shouldn't have either job, but he did get us 'shake'n'blake'

Dick Lebeau is a mystery to me, I chalk it up to taking a head coaching job in a bad situation.

Horrible roster for most of his tenure as a head coach. They did show flashes in 2001 with Kitna, but then they quickly invented a qb competition the next year even though neither back-up had any real potential.
