Hi there... Super-new here so I hope you don't mind if I jump right in! My feeling is Joe by this point knew his line would fail him and give him zero time to set and read the field. He knew he was going to throw to Aiken before the ball was even snapped. I personally think he should've gone to Steve, yes, because Steve was single-covered and had 111 yards & 1 TD on 8 catches by that point (and Aiken was ICE COLD and having a terrible game). But to Flacco's credit he delivered a strike to Aiken regardless. Aiken just dropped it and failed Flacco there. Check out screenshot below... Flacco put the ball into Aiken's chest while throwing to his right of the MLB, behind the close CB, in front of the far CB, and to his left of the S. That was an insanely talented throw under pressure... earlier in this thread OP was saying Flacco doesn't thread the needle anymore, I think this shows he is starting to do so again.

On our (failed) final drive on Sunday, Wallace was actually open on a slant on the play Joe almost threw his interception. He probably would've run into field goal range from the YAC, too. ... Too bad our line sucked so hard Joe had someone in his face 3 seconds after he snapped the ball...
