Balitmore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh speaks in the locker room after beating the Tennessee Titans 13-10, and a question comes out of virtually nowhere...

"What advice would you give to the Denver Broncos in their coaching search?"

If I were Harbaugh, I would have had a quizzical look on my face, wondering who let this guy in here and why he's asking me about the Denver Broncos instead of my team or the game or even the Titans. Give Harbaugh credit: without even a slight hesitation, he answered...

"Hire Leslie Frazier."

It's the semi-final round of the 2008-2009 NFL Playoffs, so you know what that means. Yes, you guessed it, Peyton Manning and the Colts have bowed out after one game after being the best QB in the regular season and LT isn't healthy enough to play. But the QB Class of the 2004 Draft is starting to help us forget about Peyton and Brady. Eli, Ben and Philip are attempting to take over the league. Here are my picks, so get your ones out and ride with me this weekend, i'm good for it.

Ravens at Titans:
This will be the revenge of Kerry Collins. I understand that the Ravens have someone named Ed Reed looking like a young Willie Mays out in Center but with a healthy Haynesworths there will be nowhere for the Ravens to run, which puts the pressure squarely on Flacco. Both defenses will be up to the task but end the end Collins will make more plays on 3rd down than Flacco to pull out the win for the Titans. Titans 13 Ravens 6.

San Diego at Pittsburgh:
Philips Rivers vs. Big Ben. I get the feeling that this might be the AFC younger version of Peyton vs. Brady sometime down the road. San Diego was one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl this year, then they lost baby Lawrence Taylor and a great D became very average. Chargers had a nice win last week against really a ok Colts team. Chargers do matchup well against Pittsburgh but their season ends here. Heinz Feild is a tough play to play, the field is suited for defense and not offense which gives the Steelers a big advantage. The Steelers are basically the AFC's Giants without a run game. You have the be able to get to Ben to beat the Steelers because he will turn it over, but the Chargers can't do that. Harrison and the boys will cool off Sproules. Steelers 17 Chargers 10

Blame T.O., blame Romo, blame Jessica Simpson, blame Ed Werder, blame ESPN, blame Jerry Jones, blame Wade Phillips, blame Pacman and hell you can even blame me. But that doesn't change the facts.

The Cowboys are officially chokers. When it gets to crunch time they fold under pressure. I find it ironic that it was a relatively quiet week at Valley Ranch and then they get embarrassed by the Ravens in the final game in Texas Stadium. When all hell was breaking loose they easily beat the Giants, so maybe they do need a circus atmosphere to focus on the job at hand.

While the Cowboys aren't completely dead (as the title suggests) they are definitely on life support and if they don't make the playoffs don't be a surprise if you see a major housecleaning in the offseason. The team as it is currently constructed seems incapable of winning anything of significance. What should be done? To be honest I am not sure. So people would say get rid of T.O., but trust me that would not solve the problem.

After the season go more in depth about the Cowboys, but lets give some credit to the Baltimore Ravens who when they aren't playing the Pittsburgh Steelers have just been mauling opponents. I will be the first to admit that I thought Reverend Ray was washed up, but he is playing better than ever. I don't think Joe Flacco can lead them to the Super Bowl, but it isn't like the Ravens haven't won a Super Bowl before with just an average QB.

For now enjoy the video of the two killer TD runs that sealed the game for the Ravens and possibly put the nail in the coffin of this version of the Dallas Cowboys.
