I’d rather see it canceled than have Pats or Steelers win.
Same. I'm going for the Chiefs or bust in the AFC. Otherwise, I'm rooting for the NFC.

Chiefs look like they are doing their Chiefs thing again. lol

The only NFC team I actually don't want to see win a super bowl this year are the Eagles. That fanbase has become incredibly annoying again.
Id rather see pats. I hate the patriots more than anything

Honest question: when was the last time Collins fumbled? He's been doing a great job not coughing it up. As for the 3rd down back, by far, I'm taking Woodhead. Especially if it's 3rd and 2 or 3? His shiftiness makes him money on these kind of downs.
So because of this, I expect them to air it out just like the OAK game. The following game however, will see the offense revert back to its ugly form. Book it.

If you look at Collins getting up after being tackled he continues to hold the ball high and tight. He reallly has made a concerted effort to fix the fumbleitis.

Yup.. Except the niners.. But LOL
makes sense given the lack of pass rush from the packers outside of mike daniels

Oh it's showing. Even the commentators were noticing it.
yeah the one game after he came back out of the doghouse the announcers were all over the technique change
i think its more telling that vs the titans the announcers were more concerned about terrance west's fumbling issues than alex collins fumbling

Yep. West's days as a Raven are numbered IMO. He really doesn't provide anything unique compared to his fellow RBs.
yah ill take the L on this one - i really loved west in the draft coming out - was pissed when he got taken a few picks ahead of our 3rd round comp in 2014

I don't think you deserve an L for this. Think about it..did any Ravens fan say we should get Alex Collins after week 1? I surely didn't. As much as I hate the Woodhead signing, I thought he was a great compliment to West. Then, he gets hurt. Here comes Rainey who takes over as return man. Also coming is the emergence of Buck as a change-of-pace back. All of this occurs when West goes down. So now West goes from being the man to being the ODD man out.
i will say this - as soon as i heard about alex collins and jeremy langford on the practice squad i was instantly excited about alex collins above all other prospects for our running game - he's someone who i always liked and was surprised both that the seahawks would let him go and that we would be the team to pickup a guy on waivers i was moderately excited about
it's ironic that woodhead's injury has turned into both a blessing and a curse - our passing game is a crock of shit without him but we've maybe found our most explosive offensive weapon because of his absence

I don't believe he's fumbled since Harbaugh commented on it during one of his pressers. He's done a really great job at improving his ball security; I just want to see him keep it up for the rest of the season.
Also, I agree on Woodhead being the 3rd down back as he's definitely the best receiving back out of the three. Only reason I put Buck in there too is that I could see us using Woodhead on early downs as well throughout the game. If that happens then Buck is probably gonna get some 3rd down opportunities to spell Woodhead.
Agree, Woodhead will spell buck on most 3rd downs, but Allen has done well in his own right.
I don’t ever want to see them win a super bowl.
