I really think that this has something to do with Sanchez's struggles. He looked very uncomfortable and cold in New England and the wind was blowing like crazy on Sunday.

I was at the Texans-Ravens game last night. Baltimore was extremely lucky to get out of there with a win and they have a lot of to do offensively if they're going to make any noise in the first round.

The Texans found yet another way to lose, they deserve points for creativity. Hopefully their next coach will help them develop a killer instinct.

Dude, Is Baltimore not allowed to have a bad game? They played NE better then any of the other "good teams"
They split with Pitt and should have swept. They DOMINATED TEXANS FOR 2 QUARTERS, then kinda fell to sleep. They beat the Jets in NY. I think last night wakes the defense up.
They are the only team other then NE that can win the AFC.

They didn't play well against Pittsburgh either. They were also more dominated in the 2nd half than they were dominant in the first half. If not for that kickoff return or the Texans' inability to convert on 3rd down in Baltimore territory early in the 2nd half the game would have been very different. The Ravens defense was woeful from the 2:00 warning of the first half to the end of regulation.

The Patriots team that Baltimore played close is just nothing like the current Pats team. I'm not a Pats fan but realistically, they'll tear any other team in the AFC to shreds if they continue to play like this.

How Flacco continues to put up such anemic passing numbers with Boldin, Houshmandzadeh and Mason is just beyond me. Mason dropped a couple of important balls early last night but made a nice catch in the back of the end zone for the first touchdown. I just don't see Baltimore being a contender in the AFC at all.

The Ravens gave up back to back drives of 95 and 99 yards in the 4th quarter last night. They are a talented team and one of the contenders in the AFC. But, that should be a concern to anyone thinking they don't have major holes, just like everyone else.

Baltimore's had a few stinkers. Buffalo comes to mind, and they did lose to Cincinnati. They're better than most, but still not great.

Yeah the California perfect weather theory is solid.

But could it be because Sanchez is part-Mexican? You know...since Mexicans live in a climate similar to California...I mean the ones that aren't already living there.

GTFO.

Oh the ironing.

The Ravens are nothing special and neither is Flacco, accept it.

I'm a Patriot fan. Have been since my trips to Foxboro as a young lad.

Yes, I abandon reason all the time. The Ravens did not play well Monday night no matter how many "Joey Ice" remarks you make about them.

This is post of the year material. Compaired to you NT is the paragon of reason. If you get kicked off again can you please use Benny LA Law as your new name.

Now is it more likely that he hated the cold or the wind? He didn't seem to hate the cold too much last year in the playoffs. True?

The wind may be a different story. He doesn't have the strongest arm but that has nothing to do with where he played college ball or where his mama dropped him.

He only played one playoff game in the cold last year (at home vs Cincy). The difference is that they effectively ran the ball which opened up the passing a game. He was very efficent in that game and didn't turn the ball over. I think the question becomes, if they can't establish the run can Sanchez carry this team and make the plays needed to win the game (reguardless of the weather conditions).

This past week they didn't run the ball well and struggled with 2nd & 3rd and long situations. But I really believe that Sanchez did enough for them to win that game against the Fish, just no one else made a play when they needed it.

Sunday should be a good indication on how good this team is and what kind of QB Sanchez is as of right now. This is a game that they need, let's see if he (and the rest of the team) steps their game for the challange.
