Simply put, this was ugly. From the game to the barking fans, there was nothing attractive about this one.

The Browns name seems to fit the team now more than ever. They’re certainly leaving "their mark" all over the NFL this season. Week by week, city by city, they are stinking it up. I’ve seen better flag football teams.

The faith I had in kicker Steve Hauschka is gone. Just like the faith I used to have that Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown would stay together forever.



My sources tell me that Hauschka kicked his way off the Ravens last night and most likely out of the NFL. He missed an easy field goal and had an extra point blocked. I’m not gonna sit here and pity a kicker but the irony in the NFL is, well, ironic. Brady Quinn still has his job today after a miserable season. Derek Anderson still has his job after a miserable season. And, for some reason, Frank Walker still has his job after a miserable season. It doesn’t work that way for a kicker. You make 'em? You stay. You miss 'em? Get your resume together for a day job.

Hauschka doesn’t have the mental toughness to kick out of this rut. He’s replacing one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history on a team that was a game away from the Super Bowl last year. Three points is huge in the NFL. Heck, three inches is huge in the NFL – it’s the same thing I tell my girlfriend when we’re home alone but she ain’t buying it. Just ask the Patriots what a difference a few inches makes after their bonehead call cost them a game.

The one bright spot was Lardarius Webb. The dude was all over the field on defense and special teams. Ozzie Newsome may have found another gem. The verdict is still out on Lardarius and the Ravens. These next two weeks are gonna show us who this Ravens team really is.

Next up, Indianapolis. If Peyton doesn’t rip our secondary apart, I have a weird feeling Matt Stover is gonna trot out on the field and try to put the nail in our coffin.
