    I am sure the question will come up- and I went and looked this up as I wasn't sure and think this is correct- Roman was only extended through the 2022 season, which means the Ravens don't have to fire him. They can simply let him move on, sort of like they did with Wink last year. Or they can extend him. Don't even..

     

    Into the damned sun.

    The NFL is really in a pickle here.  They could play the rest of the game tomorrow, but it just doesn’t seem right without better word about Hamlin.  They could also just call off the game and go by win % for seeding, but that pretty much hands KC the 1 seed and gives Cincy the division.

    So, interesting question for Ravens fans, are you ok with the NFL cancelling the game and giving Cincy the division title?

    Don't care. Do what's right for the players. Ravens will win more division titles down the road.

    We basically want that whole area of low 500mb heights to get pulled like taffy, with one big clump moving toward Ontario and the other pinwheeling around it down the Rockies and into the Plains.  0z Euro did that some, although not to the degree the 12z GFS did.  12z euro seems to be stubbornly staying as one big wad.  

    Are we saying we want the Euro to blow it's wad?

    It’s not horrible. But due to the order of matches I think a win against Wales was more critical than normal. 
     

    Here is the issue…assuming the chalk scenario in match day 2 (Wales beats Iran, England beats US) it leaves us needing an England team that’s already qualified and will be resting their players to get a win v a Wales team playing for their lives on the 3rd match day.  And possibly even for England to win by several goals to help us in a goal differential tiebreaker with Wales. That’s a bad spot to be. 
     

    What we need to root for Friday imo, other then the obvious of getting a result v England, is for an Iran win. In that scenario we would control our own destiny match day 3.  Second to that an Iran Wales draw would at least mean Wales would need to beat England not just tie to guarantee we are eliminated. 
     

    Failing to get points v England and a Wales win Friday means we don’t control our fate.  We would then need an indifferent England to beat Wales, and for the US to beat Iran, and also to win the goal differential tiebreaker.  That would be an awful position going into match 3. Unfortunately that’s also the most likely outcome of match 2. 
     

    To put it in mathematical terms our chances to get out of group went from about 85% to 40% when Zimmerman gave up that penalty. The World Cup is an unforgiving event. One mistake often can do you in. 

    Is this where I bring up the fact the US has never lost to England at the World Cup?

    Right now their playing bad hockey. No other way to put it. Devastated with injuries. That's the risk with an aging core. 

    Not sure when they can expect to get anyone back but right now the season is slipping away

    Look we tried to give you that game last night. Getting out shot 22-3 in the 3rd? The Blues were out of gas, period.

    US World Cup roster comes out at 5:00pm today. Lots of discussion about a leaked roster yesterday, but you could probably easily choose 23 of the 26 guys who are going already, so I'm not trusting any of those Twatter experts/threads.

    Can't believe the tournament starts in 11 days. That said, F a winter World Cup in Qatar. :lol:

    F the World Cup in Qatar, period.

    I love Charlie.  Very confident with him in the net.  But we are a bit of a slog on the offensive side.   I almost hope they split the two goalies a bit ala Al Jensen and Pat Riggin. 

    Chuckie Sideburns was a folk hero in St. Louis last season. Looked good when he had to come in for a few games last year.

    Really hope Oshie gets better for the Caps too.
