then comes the Bizarro Willis....

**Lee Van Cleef** · 12-20-2008, 10:44 PM

Don't do this to me Willis... It's too confusing!

woot! go stover

Take it!

Must say MASSIVE props to Joe for his first half performance. He has had poor protection on far too many occasions this half but has kept his cool.

Someone else posted this on Scout, and it just cracked me up:

Danger! Willis McGahee! Danger!

**HoustonRaven** · 12-20-2008, 10:49 PM

Agreed Gordon.

This is a gritty performance in general, let alone coming from the rookie. He wont win QB of the week, but he is hanging in there and looks far more composed compared to Romo.

With Mason out,Terry injured,Anderson out.Its amazing how the Ravens are holding together.Great to have Fabian Washington back. Reed with a sore thigh.Who'd have thunk it with his performance.

Cowboys have not done anything offensively.They were handed that TD with Flacco's fumble.Keep it up D,keep it up. TO must be close to going supernova.

Romo just isn't up to it,and Brad Johnson would be worse for them. So its looking good unless they go back to the run,with some Witten thrown in for good measure.

**Lee Van Cleef** · 12-20-2008, 10:55 PM

Flacco is moving us up the field, despite a relatively lacklustre looking ground game. I think we deserve the lead personally, we've shown more ability to move the ball despite the pressure they are getting. Romo looks like he can't make the deep throws accurately and is dumping stuff off quickly to avoid pressure, but the Ravens LBs are shutting it down quick. They're also not looking as good running as they did to begin the game, but they are starting to get away from it quickly, and I can't understand why.

Really though, FGs are not enough, one of these RZ trips needs to end in a TD.

**RavenDavey** · 12-20-2008, 10:58 PM

our passing is going good, but we need to get our running game going. Our line cannot protect throughout the game to insure we continue to pass. Willis has to commit "heart and soul" as Ray does.....otherwise keep him out!!

**HoustonRaven** · 12-20-2008, 10:58 PM

This is the season for both teams ....

I fully expect the Pats to win out so this is our playoffs right here.

We need to expect AND stuff the run. We need to blitz AND keep T.O. in check.

Failure now means the Jags game is close to meaningless.
