Had a big viewing party for the Dolphins-Ravens game and it ended on a down note. The Fins lost big, but I should have seen that coming. The Dolphins' offense did not match up well against the Ravens' D. Pennington had his worst game of the season and the team just couldn't get anything going until the game was out of reach. On defense, the Dolphins were solid, but they couldn't get any pressure on Joe Flacco, and the Ravens physical running game wore that defense down by the end of the game.
The Eagles won the Bad Coaches Bowl in the second game of the day. I didn't watch much of the game, but I think I can safely say that both coaches were actively trying to avoid 3rd and short because neither team has been able to convert that all season. Of course, in the Eagles' case, when you NEVER run the ball on 3rd and 1 and you always settle for these rinky dink passes in the flat, you won't have much success with short yardage conversions. While the Ravens look like a Super Bowl team, I think the Eagles still have to notch an impressive win against a team that is not fundamentally flawed (i.e. not Dallas or Minnesota).
