Ravens win toss...and I disagree

I've been saying the same thing all week. If the Ravens win the toss, they have to take the ball first instead of automatically defering to the second half. If they can move the ball, they can move the ball right now. if they can't, they can't. But one thing is certain, if Peyton Manning pulls a Carson Palmer and drives the Colts right down the field, that puts a ton of extra pressure on Joe Flacco and the offense.

They won the toss and deferred.

Ouch.

Instant update: Double ouch. 7-0.

Whoooo, lotsa game balls to give out today, Ngata for that brilliant late hit, Cundiff for missing a chip shot, Reed, why in God's name must you lateral every flippin time you touch the ball????, Flacco for that brilliant pass that gets intercepted and blows a chance to get the lead, and last but certainly not least, Harbaugh for pi$$ing away his timeouts, and for Stover kicking the winning field goal, the guy YOU and YOU ALONE didn't want back! Way to go Harbaugh, you flippin moron.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
