So week four of the NFL is in the books. The upsets were a plenty as they were in the college ranks. Greazy was delighted to see the Skins beat the Cowboys in big D, The Chiefs got their first win in like a year, and the Bears took care of the Eagles at home. The other "upset" that didn't happen for me was the Ravens beating the Steelers. The Ravens had that game in hand with a 13-3 lead in the third quarter when a stupid penalty led to a touchdown. Then on the next play after the kick off Flacco got sandwiched between two big defenders fumbling the ball that was recovered and easily returned for a TD. So two touchdowns in 15 seconds put the Steelers up by 4, they would go on to score another field goal. The Ravens made it interesting by tying the game but couldn't do anything on offense after that.
All in all it was a great game even though the Ravens lost in OT. To many stupid penalties on the Ravens front cost them a lot of field position and possibly points. Even though he's a rookie, Joe Flacco held up well against the number 2 defense in the NFL. He had the one crucial error but at the same time it's not like he had good protection on that play. He made good throws although with a little more zip some of the deeper plays could've been completed. For a first road game in one of the hardest road stadiums to play it was a solid performance. Next week we get the undefeated Titans who I also hate. Too many years of Eddie George and Steve McNair although in the end we got the better of them. I also hate Jeff Fisher because he looks more like a Nascar driver then a NFL head coach. It's only one loss early on but it's frustrating because I had little expectation of this team in week 1. Now they've gone and played really well for three weeks and I expect them to win them all.
