“Glad we broke Ben’s nose.”

Found this interesting little tidbit earlier, it can only add to the atmosphere of the game.

It’s Ravens Week (Again)

I’ll be honest with you, my choice was to have the Colts beat the Jets and let the Ravens soften up the Patriots.  That was my “perfect world” scenario for the AFC Wildcard round.  After Saturday my revised idea was for the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Ravens and rely on the Jets...

Divisional Round feat. Steelers Versus ?

Against the Colts the Steelers should be able to impose their will on both sides of the ball without revealing too much to the Patriots brain trust. Pass enough to keep that eighth man out of the box and run it down their undersized defense's collective throats.

Non Story of the Week feat. Ben Roethlisberger

Will it be four games or six?  We don’t know and Roger Goodell isn’t saying.  As it stands, Roethlisberger will serve a six-game suspension. Goodell stated that he’d consider reducing the count to four based on Roethlisberger’s behavior leading up to the season. So here we are a few days out from training camp...

AFCN: Two-Team Division

Can you even begin to imagine the cancerous locker room situation in Bengalville? How will the mega egos of Ocho Cinco and TO ever manage to co-exist? Will there ever be enough footballs to go around? How can Carson Palmer ever hope to appease those two?
