Not trying to kill the buzz, but this could be the high point of our season, folks, soak it up.

It brings a slight tear to my eye. Seriously.

We might actually have our very own Peyton Manning. Except, he won't be the next Peyton Manning, he'll end up being the first Joe Flacco. And that might not be a bad thing. :)

No buzz kill. It feels good and we need to soak in it.

I called it weeks ago that McClain was going to be good, long before the Raiders game.
I don't care if this is garbage time, that was an impressive sack.

If the Colts had never left, we would have a base like the Packers/Skins/Steelers; however, with the departure to Indy, we lost a large chunk of our following to Washington/Philadelphia/Pittsburgh.

Weird thing is, the Colts winning today could be a GOOD thing.

Because, say the Steelers drop today's game, we're tied in overall record. We'd lose the head-to-head, of course.

But, as long as we take care of business over the next month and keep pace with the Steelers until we finally meet, then we could realistically win the division.

We won't have to worry about the Colts loss hurting us in tiebreakers if we win the division that way. ;)

Aren't we Mr. Stormcloud all day.

If nothing else we'll beat the Steelers at home and slaughter the Bengals.
Also the Jaguars.

I will still look back at the 14 point come back in Cle, as the moment this team came together.

I don't think he'll be a huge numbers guy like Manning, but he is certainly a stud. He has a better arm and more mobility than Rothlisberger, so he should have better stats, but Big Ben is a decent comparison.

Tell me about it, rooting for the Skins and Colts in consecutive weeks.

Well, I wasn't talking in terms of stats or anything tangible like that.

I meant in terms of how other people view him as a person and as a player.

Like, when most people think of Peyton Manning, they think of a well-mannered, gracious person who is everything you'd want in a starting QB. When you utter his name, you instantly think, "Best QB in the league," or something to that effect.

I think we could have the same thing in Joe Flacco in the future. Unflappable, calm, stoic. Nice guy, great teammate, consummate professional, outstanding leader.

And to me, that's all I want out of my starting QB. A guy who knows how to win, both on the field and off it.

Very well said, Franchise. Although you can point to guys like Anderson having a huge let up in his sophomore season, I only see Flacco getting better.

Yeah but we may be screwed either way, Colts win they are still in the wildcard race Squeelers win we're still a game back.

Pittsburgh has a really tough schedule as well.

Tennessee
Baltimore
Dallas
New England
San Diego
Indianapolis

Nothing to sneeze at.
