Trent Dilfer has picked us to lose the last 3 weeks. They've been doing a segment on ESPN and he had us losing to S.F., K.C., and to the JETS. Now he's already said the Ravens will win Sunday. Keep up the good work Trent! Maybe he can pick us to lose all the way to the S.B.!
I like Dilfer as an analyist. A lot. So what if he doesn't pick us. He seems like a smart guy who actually talks about football and not drama. He's much better than the guy he replaced: Sean Salusbury.
I would respect him more if he was just able to say, man I was wrong, but insteed he make excusses as to why the other team lost. He has it bad for the Fins, didn't we kick he's butt while he was with the Bucs? N-E-Way, he should give us props, but just won't.
Merril Hoge and Cris Carter now look like geniuses, both picked us to win the AFCE. Hoge pretty much supported us all season, while Carter jumped on the bandwagon a bit later.
A good analyist is not the same thing as a Dolphin homer. Joe Theismann is a perfect example. For some reason, Theismann always picked Miami. He wanted Chris Chambers in Canton! But he sucked as an analyst. He got fired from MNF and no one gave him a job. Trent is the best analyist ESPN has that isn't named Merill or Ron. I don't care if he picks us to lose. I don't want or expect him to apologize for his picks. If an analyst had to apologize for every time he was wrong, he'd never get to talk about next week's games.
He's not that good of an analyist, of course that could be my Dolphin homer getting in the way. I didn't like him as a QB, I like him less as an analyist.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, its not personal or an insult just an opinion. Just about everybody had the Dolphins picked to lose to the Jets at their home. Everyone I listened to on Sirious NFL Radio talked like the Dolphins didn't have a chance in the Jets game. I kinda think the Jets read too much hype into everyones opinions and they didn't really believe the Dolphins could beat them at home but we all know how that turned out. Let the Ravens read all the press and become confident and comfortable. Let the Dolphins read all the press and feel like they are disrespected at home and use that as incentive to play their best with fire and emotion.
Mark Schlereth is another guy who always picks us to lose. He always finds something negative to say about our team. Posted via Mobile Device
C'mon, Trent Dilfer is a former Raven, did you expect anything otherwise? Let's not make this an "ESPN is against us" thread because Keyshawn and Tom Jackson picked us to win the East a few weeks ago. Jackson's been for us since mid-season.
Trent, you've picked 3 games correctly in the last month. You can join Salsbury in the unemployment line.... Doctor Phil called, he wants his head back.
Trent Dilfer is a terrible analyst. Listen to this genius analysis: "The Jets will win the AFC East just because they have Brett Favre." Thanks, Trent.
He just got into that trend "NOW I'll pick it right (by probability)" He picked against the phins vs SF...then we won so he thought......."NOW they're gonna lose to KC"..... then we won again.. and he then thought "damn, NOW I can't believe they will hold against the jets"......then we won again now he may be thinking..."OMFG..NOW they're gonna lose"... and so on, until we lose and he gets the nod for being right.
"That's like being the smartest kid with down syndrome." Just because the majority of ESPN's analysts are crap, doesn't make Dilfer's horrible job at "analysing" games any better.
Dilfer is ok as an analyst,not great, but not bad....but someone please tell him he wasn't that great of a QB...(he seems to think he carried the Ravens to the SB himself...)
I think Trent Dilfer is horrible anylist he cant get any thing right. Not just because he wont pick the Dolphins to win. I really dont care if he picks us to win or not. I actully like it better that way so he can keep putting us down.
Wait you meanhe did not carry that team on his back. What I am confused now. O yea one of the best defenses in NFL history did. If I am not mistaken did'nt the Ravens offense not score a touchdown till week seven and you guys were still 7-0.
yea it was awesome. thanks for reminding me. man im good. get some ravens love on a playoff oponents forum ... i went to half of those games i know. i was just posting that pic for laughs and to post a pic of our sb ring
