Jim Sorgi, Troy Smith, crab cakes!

Who is to blame?
I have been calling for Billick's head for months ("Brian Billick Should Be Fired").

But you can't pin tonight's loss on Brian (Colts 44, Ravens 20). With both starting corners on the bench, Baltimore didn't stand a chance against the league's best quarterback.

If Tony Dungy didn't bring in Jim Sorgi early in the third quarter, Peyton Manning might have thrown for seven touchdowns against Baltimore's depleted secondary.

Troy Smith gets in the game
Three for five, 33 yards and a six-yard touchdown run. You'd think he was Vince Young (except only one of them won the Heisman). Unfortunately for Smith, most of Baltimore had already turned off their televisions.

Boller vs. Smith?
Troy Smith looked great in his first regular-season action, but it was two minutes against a defense that was probably more worried about not getting injured than giving up points. The Colts were already leading by about 11 touchdowns.

Let Boller finish the season. Give Smith a shot to earn the starting job next year, but don't hand it to him. Make him earn it. Boller outplayed Tom Brady last week. He deserves the right to finish out the season as Baltimore's starting QB.

John Madden Hates crab cakes
"I'm not a crab cake guy," Madden said late in the fourth. "I'm not exactly sure what goes into them."

There is a food that John Madden won't eat?

There's not much to it, John. Just a whole lot of crab, and some seasoning, mayonnaise and bread crumbs: Here is the recipe.

I bet Madden has had his share of Natty Boh's.
