Yeah, McNair doesn't have to do much for them to win games. He has more room for errors than all the other QBs because our defense can handle things. He just needs to last maybe 1 or 2 more year and Smith will take over.

Some guys are just more injury prone than others, and running QBs are more likely to get injured as time goes on (especially old ones).</p> The Ravens are relying on their defense to carry them but the Bengals have torched them recently, and are entering their prime offensively.</p> McGahee will also probably face tough defenses since Steve isn't scaring anyone.</p> I would give the Bengals the edge in both division games, which is why people would think they are going to win the division. </p>
Ahhh, I jinxed it. It ended up being Chad Johnson scoring the TD. Did anyone see how he celebrated? He said it was going to be nothing like we've ever seen.</p> Omg the Raven's offense is horrible today. McNair with another turnover </p>
As long as we dont throw 5 ints we can go toe to toe with any team. We were in the colts and bengals games both despite throwing alot of turnovers, i think mcnair will rebound next week against the jets. Should be an easy win especially with pennington out.
Boller might be starting. We lost BJ Sams for the year and possibly our best O lineman Ogden. Ray Ray won't be 100 percent. Hopefully Yanda and Figurs will make something happen.
Mcnair didnt seem too injured but i think even boller can beat the jets without pennington. Ogden wont be out all season either and losing sams isnt a tremendous blow since we just drafted a punt returner in figurs. Ray Should be near 100% if not 100%. His injury was pretty minor.
