Lee Evans and Anquan Boldin are hardly (using your best Cousin Vinnie voice) yoots.

I thought Evans had been injured?  I saw their WR corps in most games as being Boldin, the rookie Torrey Smith, and question marks.

In others news, the Raven's have a laid another egg in Seattle. I really dont get this team. They have laid eggs on Tennessee, Jacksonville and now Seattle. If I were a Ravens fan I would be very uncertain right.

Baltimore's problems as far as I'm concerned - the offensive line is not all that impressive, Flacco is wildly inconsistent, and lots of youth at WR (granted, #1 and #3 could be a big part of the explanation for #2).

They Kind of remind of the Jags from last year and even previous years. Can run the heck out the ball, inconsistent QB, and Not so good receivers.

correct....they tried to connect with Boldin 9 times yesterday, but he had only 2 catches....that said, their two tight ends combioned for something like 12 catches

I heard Houston's QB is out for the rest of the year. Expect a full day of Foster.

It will be nice to see the Texans fall flat yet again.

I agree with Pot Roast. I hate the Texans. They are very arrogant and cocky. And now there fans are too! Its funny that a team that has NEVER made the play-offs, whose best record was 9-7 would be so arrogant about them possiably winning a divison because their is no competition. RIGGHHTTT.. They can not shake a stick at the Colts, Titans, or Jags in regards to history. They remind me of the little brother who is growing up and starting to smeel his self.

Even though the Texans were an expansion team, they had to pay the KC Chiefs for their name.  So, in a round-a-bout way, the Texans history could be traced back to KC - another long-running franchise.

The Chiefs were originally the "Dallas Texans" and still owned the trademark. They allowed the Houston expansion team to use it after striking a deal.

Oh wow I didnt know that.

That's OK.  Your run-of-the-mill Texans fan probably doesn't either.

I was just on sports encyclopeida and OMG. Some of teams have been around FOREVER! The packers started in 1919    That is growing close to 100 years. No wonder they are the smallest market with a big fan based. They have been around since the bible days. (LOL) Compared to these other franchises, we are mere babies in every way, shape and form. Thats why I dont mind the growing pains were going through right now. It has happened to all franchises at one point in their history.

For some more entertainment, check out the names of some of those early fly-by-night NFL teams from the 1920s and the disproportionate number of games each team played per season.  My favorite: the Tonawanda Kardex, who played a grand total of one game.
