    heres what i dont understand... if we were favored by 2.5 points in the ravens game at home when the oddmakers thought ben would start. then they rule ben out and it goes to the ravens by 3.5 points.. a 6 point swing... so the oddmakers are saying that ben makes a 6 point difference.. i think he makes a lot more difference than that... i wouldnt think with ben we score about 24 points.. with leftwich we score 10... maybeeeeeeeeee 13 or 14 topps... plus any turnovers..although im not sure lefty turns it over any more than ben.... the QB that doesnt turn it over we are keeping on the bench for some reason... charlie would "manage the game" much better... charlie keeps us in a position to win.. whatver he does he will NOT turn the ball over... he wil keep us in the game for a chance for us to win the game at the end with a FG or a INT on their O.. charlie won while ben was suspended and he can do it again... and where's charlie? oh thats him on the bench with the clip board..

    Wasn't Lefty hurt when Batch started in Ben's place when he was suspended?

    That isnt how they work out the spread. The spread moving to where it is now because that is where the betters money is going.. not opinion.

    Of the 4 games.. Dixon started the 1st game and won. Batch started the next 3 and went 2-1.

    Yes. Lefty was hurt in the 4th pre-season game and placed on IR.
