    was this our first real quality win? the ravens was a biggy, but this was a quality team we beat. good job, but we still have these lapses in judgement and play calling on both sides. we need to clean it up. good job though team. :applaud::applaud::cool:

    Agree with what you mentioned, as well as some execution errors, but yes- this is the first win against a real team. Haven't really done that yet this year. Good job, men.:herewego:

    Great win today. To me the biggest improvement by far was in pass protection. Ben had pretty solid protection - and lo and behold he goes for 367 yards and 4 TDs. We need to get the run game going to have an overall good offense, but if we protect Ben we can definitely score some points.

    For all who want to trade Ben, 45 yards rushing and the defense losing yet another lead, what would happen without him..... I am a Ben supporter as he gives us a chance to win, the oline blocked well for pass protect but we need help to run, no running game at all and when teams know it and know the oline has a tough time in pass protect it amazes me at how good Ben really is. I'd love to see any other QB in the league play on this offense. Great win!!!

    Yep.

    It was also the first game where we played to our strengths with sensible situational football. Coincidence?

    Goes to show you how much turnover margin affects the game. Any team in the NFL can beat anyone if they protect the ball and capitalize on a few turnovers themselves.

    I'm not one that wants to trade him but if he ask for too much the rest of the team will suck. We have three aging players in the secondary and an offensive line that is.....offensive. We need to build this team or we will look like the Ravens.

    I loved the no huddle play calling. We were missing a lot with injuries woodley, the beard. Amazing win, it shows we could beat any team in the league but we can lose to the worst as well. There was a different chemistry with this team the last two weeks and when Ben threw that 4th td pass you could see his teammates mob him. I really do smell playoffs!
