I'm less pessimistic. I knew it would be very difficult for San Diego to win at Pittsburgh. The San Diego O-line played pretty damn well; They played their hearts out.
Do you think the Baltimore O-line is going to play as well as the afformentioned against Pittsburgh? I realize that the Pitt/Balt regular season games were close, but Pittsburgh's defense is fresher. Flacco's athleticism has made his line look better than they are. I have no problem with Baltimore being in the AFC title game, but I'm confident that this is the end of the road for them.
I'm going to eat crow and admit that Ben looked good yesterday. That is not a bad thing. I'm also willing to crown Chris Kemoe'atu and Troy Polamalu as "honorary White men!!"
If Pittsburgh looks strong against Baltimore, I will give them the advantage against their NFC Super Bowl opponent. More crow, please! Todd Heap -vs- Heath Miller as opposed to Antonio Gates -- grab the popcorn...
Is FusionFlow the poster AKA Texas Tech?
If so, no NFL team has even a slight majority of Whites on their roster. Don Wassall is correct about his O-line observations.
FusionFlow, let's look at some of the O-lines of the teams' that could have made the playoffs:
Other than New England -- you had New Orleans, Tampa and Buffalo with 4 black starters. The Jets had 3 black starters. The super-obese Carolina Panthers also had 3! I won't even get into the bottom-feeders like Seattle, the Rams, and the Cinci Bengals.
I hope you're not a troll.
