    Except being good on the road.

    Well, they won their last two road games.

    The win in Chicago was impressive. So maybe it's not a significant flaw. Or maybe I'm just trying to talk myself into a Washington win this week somehow.

    Your biggest worry is the guy doing a 70 percent impression of RG3. He was almost a nonfactor last night. He needs to be very close to 100 percent Sunday against that defense.

    Disagree.

    Either way, it's all gravy at this point. Never dreamed they'd make the playoffs this year. The line on the game worries me a little bit, though. I see 24-20 Skins.

    You disagree that the team's best player needs to be as healthy as possible?

    Sure. But he doesn't have to be 100 percent, or very close to it, for the Skins to win. And he wasn't almost a nonfactor last night.

    But, but, but . . . the stat sheet said he was.

    He doesn't have to be very close to 100 percent to beat the Eagles or Cowboys, but if he's a couple steps slow Sunday, I bet he doesn't make it to the end of the game.

    The next good team Denver beats will be the first good team they've beaten all year. Peyton's been great, but my God . . . what a candyass schedule..

    The Ravens aren't great by any stretch, but dominating a division winner on the road is a pretty impressive win.

    Excepting the Giant game, Baltimore's largely been in a coma for over a month. Something's clearly wrong with their collective heads. They're lucky they drew the Great Overachievers in Round I.

    Ravens make a great fetish of their division games. Outside of the AFC North and the Giant gift, their best win was against the Cowboys, and they were life and death to do that . . . at home, yet.
