Much has been made of the fast start of the Baltimore Ravens. Offensively ‘Edgar Allen’ Joe Flacco looks comfortable in the pocket and suddenly the Ravens are to be feared when they have the ball. Yet there’s cause for concern on the defensive side of the ball.
If the first two game are any indication, ‘Nevermore’ shall the Raven’s defense be feared. OK, I’ll quit with the poetry references now. It’s clear the off season departures of Jim Leonhard and Bart Scott to the Jets has turned the once feared Ravens D into a mediocre unit at best. Consider this, Baltimore has allowed 54 points after their first two games. At what point in 2008 had teams accumulated a total of 50 points against the Ravens? If you guessed week 4 give yourself a cracker.
In 2008 the Ravens gave up 26 points or more only three times in 19 games. They’ve done it in both games this year. Sure, Baltimore came up with big plays defensively — 2 INTs and Ray Lewis’ big stop (video below) to put an end to the Chargers late rally — but their defense gave up 474 total yards to San Diego.
If defense wins championships the Ravens have got some things to work on.
Hottie and gay favorite Tony Romo removed two drama queens, Terrell Owens and Jessica, from his life during the off season and the Cowboys will be improved this year with Felix Jones and Marty B playing big roles. Roy Williams has to prove that he can fill TO’s shoes in Dallas. But I still think the Cowboys are the third best team in the NFC East.
Then there’s the annual Super Bowl rematch between the Steelers and Cardinals @8:00 EST on ESPN. One of the story lines will certainly focus on the Roethlisberger 
It’s the return of always styling Tom Brady tonight at Philly and the Eagles look loaded on offense. Really interested in getting my first look at how rookie running back
