and you base this off?

is it really that hard to understand that 2 seconds is not enough time to complete a 5 or 7 step drop back, go through your read and pass the ball? im 100% positive that the 2.73 seconds is based on all pass plays and not just 5 to 7 step drop backs, even so 2.73 was still more then the time he actually had on the 2 plays you blame him for.... also not sure what years ago have to do with what actually happened on those 2 plays.

yup.

i know. became clear when people actually want to argue that 2 seconds are a decent amount of time to complete a 5 or 7 step drop back.

what do you consider a decent amount of time? on the sack and fumble , it was a free runner with him having no time to do anything because freeman missed the block. the sack for a loss he was on the ground when 3 seconds passed. both plays he had a defender on him barely 2 seconds after the snap. so you think 2 seconds is a decent amount of time for a QB to do a 5 and 7 step drop back? my point seems pretty clear now tbh...

do you blame flacco every time he gets sacked?

so he did move the chains. did he do that or did the OC do that with the play calling?

pretty sure it was freeman who failed to pick up a block that caused the fumble. pretty sure it was also shanahan messed up play calling that knocked them out of FG range when all they needed to do was run the ball and kick a FG. since you brought up being objective , would you or would you not blame flacco rather then the supposed to blocker or OC?

so he did move the chains to get them in range ?

in real life : football IQ > proper NFL technique > speed madden: speed

Ryan got them in FG range twice besides throwing for that TD. how in your world did he manage that if he could not move the chains?

falcons offense accounted for 7 points in the 2nd half. ravens offense accounted for 6 points in the 2nd half so......

sounds like a good idea if you plan on having the #1 pick somewhere in the future lol

Dont worry man. if the defense starts to collapse i will go streaking to change momentum.

Rice fumbled it on the ravens 24 yard line and before that ginn returned a punt to the ravens 20. lead to 10 points by the niners on such a short field find it intresting that nobody remembers any of this happening to the offense and special teams after the lights went out....

i cant think of 1 play off game where flacco was pressured over 60% of the time and played great. probably because he usually has good protection when we make the play offs.

Belichick is probably the greatest coach ever and his strength is the defense. Id say if there is anyone capable of stopping/ limiting the best offense he would be my first pick.

2 of the niners scoring drives started on the ravens 20 yard line and the ravens 24 yard line. that is well within FG range. no defense in the history of the NFL would be capable of not allowing a single point ever in that situation every single time. should really lower your expectations if you expect a defense to not allow a single point in that situation when the opponent has such a short field to the endzone. what you actually should be asking is who fault it was that the opponent got to start their drive at the door of the redzone in the first place. ofcourse you wont ask yourself this because it would fk up your whole argument that it was all pees fault and him alone lol. damm him for fumbling the ball in that spot and damm him for allowing that huge punt return......

its easier for the defense to jump the snap if you wait till the last second to snap. pretty stupid to do just that when you are under pressure majority of the time already and you want to throw it lol. not to mention you wont be able to make adjustments or react to last seconds shifts or adjustments that the defense is making. i remember the pats crowding the LOS every time against us and then drop 8 in coverage the moment we where going to snap it leaving our offense pretty confused.... its a good idea to snap it with 1 second if you plan on running the ball and burn the clock but in a close game when passing it makes more sense the try to be unpredictable.

being the league MVP does not give you magical powers which creates a bubble around so you cant be pressured. given the circumstances he was in then yes he did more then enough. rodgers is about the only QB who could put similar numbers being under pressure 60% of the time. brees might the other guy. other then that GL finding any QB who could do anything similiar. you would have a point if he had a clean pocket with little to no pressure though.

ryan with all his weapons was under pressure 60 % of the time when dropping back to pass. flacco is 1 of the worst QBs in the league when under pressure. gl trying to put these 2 pieces of info together.

brady was only sacked 5 times on a staggering 62 pass attempts. ryan was sacked 5 times on just 23 pass attempts. ryan completed 70% of his passes , threw for 284 yards on 17 completions, had 2 TD and 0 int. the man had a 144.1 QB rating in the SB lol all this while under pressure majority of the dropbacks. not sure how you can expect more when majority of the QBs dont even come close to this under the same circumstances. im again curious what more you wanted him to do. he aint micheal vick or cam newton that can juke defenders in the back field to buy time....

Hard to do more when you are under pressure majority of the time. Or is this only an excuse for flacco?

correction the team collapsed not just the defense. how else would you explain 2 of the niners 4 scoring drives after the outage starting at the ravens 20 and 24 yard line? well 1 started with the offense going 3 and out while losing 8 yards which resulted in a punt return to the ravens 20 yard line. the other was a fumble on the 2nd play of the next drive which resulted in the niners starting on the ravens 24 yard line. pretty insane if you dont consider this collapsing on the offense and special teams part and even more crazy blaming this on the defense... then lets not forget that at the time the defense also lost this guy named ngata who im pretty sure its not some bum. but by al means dont let things that actually happened screw up your argument in your personal vendetta against pees though..

ow im focusing on the entire season tbh. both the offense and defense where avg to below avg during the season. both played ridiculous once the play offs started all the way to the outage. both where horrible after the outage. just dont understand why only the offense gets credit. as for the falcons yeah they shitted the bed hard. not suprised given how young that defense is though and seeing who they where up against. as for ryan , he deserves little to no blame tbh based on the standards here.
