The new work week begins. Yay.

Yesterday, despite the pager incident, was a good day. I went to Chris’ and played HeroClix. Yesterday’s match-up saw the Chris’ Justice League of America taking on my Justice Society of America (pictures here). He won the game, but I was able to put away a few of his pieces before he left me fielding only one figure.

After the game, I headed home to take care of some straightening up before company came over for…

Instant Replay: Football

Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns
16 – 0
Ravens 1.0 traveled to Cleveland to take on Ravens -1.0, in a game that was not only an AFC North battle, but also a rivalry match.
Too bad that there wasn’t really a “game,” to speak of.  The first half was very lackluster – neither team scored:

  • Not a field goal (K Steve Hauschka shanked yet another kick wide left)
  • Not a safety.
  • Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch.

Browns’ QB Brady Quinn, who got benched earlier this season after a poor performance against the Ravens, got the start… and suffered from the same lack of ability to get anything going last night.

Granted, the teams’ defenses got a good workout, but neither offense could get their game in gear.

Coach Harbaugh must have gone George Patton on the team at halftime, because both the offense and the defense actually looked like they came to play:

  • Joe Flacco and WR Derrick Mason hooked up for a long pass that set up a TD by RB Ray Rice
  • Seventeen seconds later, SS Dawan Landry pulled down an interception and ran it back 48 yards for a TD
  • Hauschka got it together and put up a field goal.

The Ravens went to 5-4 and are still potentially in the hunt for a wild card berth.

Coach Mangini, your team just took another one on the chin.

How do you feel about that?

I can emapthize with that. Sorry, .
