Every game the Ducks win makes me think they'll have playoff success and everyone here in DC will have to admit it wasn't Boudreau but the players the Caps are made up of that was the problem

Yeah I don't understand the Kaeperbro hate. The pick was a horrible overthrow, but he made so many plays last night and literally was 5 yards away from MVP. Yes, MVP. Assuming he either throws it in or ran it in himself he would have went for over 300 yards, 3 total TD's, with the one pick...

Grabbing the facemask is a penalty, and I fail to see him being grabbed by the helmet, a guy has his legs tangled, and the defender goes in to make a tackle. Simply putting your head down to make a tackle is NOT spearing. Spearing would be a full on horizontal launch head first, and you just...

Especially after getting it below the 2 minute warning...you'd think on 2nd down at least they'd spread them out and give Gore a chance to run it in...would either waste more clock to prevent leaving the Ravens time for a field goal to tie/win, or they'd have to burn a timeout.

Helmet to helmet is perfectly legal on that play. James was neither a defenseless receiver nor the QB.

Agree with this 100%.

I can buy into that "shouldn't have let it be that close", but sometimes it will be that close. I do think they were pretty consistent with letting them play all game, but I can also totally understand Niners fans being upset about 4th and goal last chance and having a non call in that...

Listening to Dilfer explain that he thought the blackout changed momentum...only to go on and say that basically the Niners simply stopped shooting themselves in the foot was funny. The yardage was pretty close prior to the blackout, and the Niners actually led in time of possession. They stop...

Fair point.

Which is why I noted that PI call in my post. I do think there was even more contact on the Culliver call to be honest. I think both in a vacuum are PI/holding. I'd be bitter too if it was my team that had to deal with that. At least they can know they did have 4 shots inside the 10. It...

It was pointing out the exact same thing you were...the guys played terrible D on quite a few of his long throws. Is what it is.

He has to share that title with most of the Colts secondary, Champ Bailey, and Rahim Moore then. I won't deny one bit that I've never seen a QB benefit more from DB's completely forgetting how to play pass defense when he throws balls up for grabs. His TD throw to Jones was actually a pretty...

3 TD's and no picks? 66.6% completion %? No, I think Flacco deserved it. Jones' kick return was big, but Flacco threw the passes that he and Boldin caught all game. Even if I would have liked to have seen if Flacco could lead a game winning drive had they called that possible hold in the end...

2 schools of thought. #1 is calling each play on it's own, even given knowing they're going to let more go in a playoff game/Super Bowl (in theory)...#2 is looking at how the game as a whole was called and comparing it to that. As far as #1 goes, it was definitely at least holding. He had a...

Team of destiny. You just have to learn to deal with it. I'm trying.

I think the 6 weeks into the season thing might be a good timetable (and by that I mean Griffin sitting out that long). There really shouldn't be any chances taken at all with this recovery time. Cousins is decent and can go out there and give us a chance to win a couple games.

Hasn't been good for a couple years now. '09-'10 it was tops in the League I think around 25%. Been stagnating ever since.

Nice game by you guys...we had a little pushback in the 3rd but score effects likely played a part in that. I can't stand how we run the PP. If you're going to run a 1-3-1, Ovechkin needs to be the guy in the slot. When Brouwer is there they never feed him b/c they telegraph they're always...

Root for the meteor. I have a lot of friends who are Ravens fans, so for ONLY them I'd be happy...but far too many Ravens fans are real assholes around here, with an entitlement complex that they really hadn't earned for 12-13 years until this run. I will never hear the end of it if they win...

Weird hockey related Super Bowl stat...the last time the Niners were in the Super Bowl the Washington Capitals lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Super Sunday...today after 2 period Penguins beating the Caps 5-2. When Ravens won the Super Bowl the Capitals won on Super Sunday.

Nice to hear Backstrom get called out. Curious about the Super Bowl for you...do you root for the Niners cause they're playing the Ravens, or the Ravens so the Niners don't get their 6th ring?

Hahaha hell no. I'd never convert, Been a Skins and Caps fan all my life (32 years old). Often painful, never boring. Pens are enemy number 1. The 90's was full of pain and misery from you guys. For the record I respect the hell out of your team, I just love to hate them.

They are on your side. Speaking of who Pierre slobbers on the most...just in case you didn't know, even though Malkin and Kunitz made a great play, Sid on the ice is the reason they were able to channel such great play into a goal. This game is pretty much over unless we sneak a goal or two...

The usual Charmin Ultra soft call against us. Not that our PP was doing shit anyways. We look horrible.

I'm pretty sure we both have the homer bias here, but all they do is slob all over Crosby, always have until AO won MVP then it got a little more even.

He played here last year, he should know that can happen. Never seen it work to our benefit though until today.

Pierre has the hard on for Crosby you mean. There's no question Ovechkin isn't in the same league as Crosby/Malkin anymore, but he was there for a good 2-3 years. Don't know if he can get back to that point. Holtby just killing us today.

Worth sharing

I just feel like they'll get whatever breaks they need/other team doesn't step up when they play against the Ravens.

Missing the 1st round pick next 2 years will hurt, as will the bullshit $18 million in cap penalties again this next year. We need secondary help badly, have to replace London Fletcher soon, and could use more O line help as well. We'll have to see how his knee recovers. I agree Shanahan...

Not used to sucking in the regular season...usually wait until the playoffs to break my heart, usually in a Game 7. I was hoping Jersey would tire you guys out a little more but you just beat the shit out of them. Hopefully we stay out of the box better than we have done so far this year, and...

Ravens 31, Niners 21. Team of destiny.

"You have 6 tires...that's what seat belts are for." Seriously I would have said fuck him.

Haha we will have to wait and see I guess. I'd still rather be in our spot than yours

You have to hope this...and even if it's true Cousins might still be consoling Romo after another 3+ pick game next year.

Surprised the vote wasn't a little closer, but really the numbers were on his side. When you lead the league in both passing yards per attempt and rushing yards per attempt with the highest Passer Rating and Total QBR among the 3 stud rookie QB's, it's probably your award.

Freds dredging did pretty well for only one day, can't remember how much it was but it was decent for one day. Todd is such an idiot..."Day shift is going to have to step it up if we're going to make it." What a crock of shit, Dave's crew has been the only one stepping up all season. He's...

I expect Erskine to get a game or two for the elbow on Simmonds tonight. Just not a smart play. Even dumber was there was no penalty called, but Hendricks and Rinaldo get ejected b/c linesman was doing their usual false start on a faceoff.

It'll be funny when the Caps lose out with the new lottery too. Flyers tomorrow and Pens on Sunday. could be 1-7-1 by the time the Super Bowl pregame comes on.

8 PP's already for Toronto tonight. Good to be the Caps. Somehow leading 2-1. Maybe we could get a 5 on 3 at some point tonight to even it out.
