Cue up the next scapegoat at OC. Evidently team around the NFL understand Caldwell wasn't the problem. It starts with a guy that doesn't work as hard as he needs to. Manning works outside the facility with his recievers . Hard work pays off in performance Flacco.
Well one thing that's obvious is he couldn't do anything with the hand that was dealt to him.

Bring Back CAM CAMERON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After watching the Ravens all season and their inept play at quarterback it was nice to see great play from that position yesterday. To all the folks that said Flacco was better than Luck and Smith. I understand love the one you're with concept but none the less LMAOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
120.6 M for hot garbage. In other news congrats to Flacco on the new Ravens interception mark by quarterbacks. Way to reward the Ravens front office for their trust. The #5 jersey is in the trash where it belongs!!
too funny...
Flacco is on his way to becoming the greatest worst quarterback in the league today.
He did set the record for most crapped beds in a season
Rode with "5" today..Four flat tires and a flat spare as well. I'll have a spare hanger in the closet going forward...
Go Ravens
Destiny
Joe showed what he can do when he has a solid #1. these receivers on this team don't come to play week in and week out! Joe has really no help this year!
Riding with the "5" jersey again this week! Hey it worked just like last years playoff run..Why not? On another note can't understand how Levy was not fined..Boggles the mind.
I took out my ray lewis jersey for the steelers game it worked last year I figured why not let's roll
on the "another note" lol; it should have been flagged, even if its not intentional, its breaking a rule(accidental PI is still a flag alot of times)but i dont think a player should get a fine for something unintentional. whether it was intentional or not is all speculation, but i dont think it was, regardless of how dirty the lions reputation is.
Bengals lost last night and all looks to be falling in place for the Ravens if they can handle their business. Feeling positive about the chances for a "W" tonight. I think I'll ride with the 5 jersey for good luck. Let's go Ravens!!!
Same to you buddy. Go Ravens!
Eh just going to say Rock that Flacco jersey man! ![]()
I hear you Hardbaugh! I have a Flacco jersey as well although I don't wear it much! lol! Maybe tonight!!
Thanks Flacco for putting a couple solid drives together with the help of officiating of course. The 64 QB rating and competion pct. was almost as ugly as the wounded duck interceptions. Here's hoping you play 60 Monday night.
It's Flacco's fault, that Hardbaugh thinks everything is Flacco's fault.
The pick on the last drive should not have stood anyway. It should've been illegal contact not PI, but either way, negating it was correct.

I always wondered why yinzers try to convince the rest of the nation that black and yellow is really black and gold?
Apparently, some people have never seen a crayon before. They probably think the sun is golden. Poor, poor people...
the saints are gold steelers yellow
no need to rant congrats when our franchise is as old as yours I bet we have more ![]()
Thanks for mixing in a solid effort Flacco. It was nice to see him play well. How about doing us a solid and stacking some quality efforts. I'll be watching Thanksgiving and hopefully posting a positive. Happy Thanksgiving all!!!
Over your bromance with Tyrod, lol?
No Bromance at all , More things the opposing defence has to prepare for the less time they can spend on the Ravens other plays.
Uh, that's what Rex Ryan said when he was toying around w/ Tebow.
Uh oh, Looking at some stats Flacco against Rex Ryan's defense, 43% Comp. Pct., 51.1 QB rate, 0 Td's , 2 int's, one being a pick six the other returned 66 yards, 2 fumbles lost. Despite this horrific play he's 2-0 vs the NYJ.
Stats are lame. Wins matter.
Flacco is a good player. Not elite though.
Flacco is now at a career high in INT"s. Anyone who says that turnover stats don't matter are clearly losing touch with the real world.
Another week gone by where Flacco comes up short against a quarterback making a fraction of what his contract calls for... Geno Smith next up on Flacco's Battle of the Feeble quarterback tour..
Week 11 Edition; Flacco has been bested by his share of rookie, journeyman or never was quarterbacks this season. At risk of feeling like Charlie Brown looking for the Great Pumpkin is this the week Flacco starts making the Ravens look wise for paying him.........Probably not!
I'm not a Brady hater, but "Brady taking a paycut"? C'mon, man. His current contract guarantees more money than any other single contract on the history of the league. Restructuring for the cap and adding dozens of millions to your guaranteed money is hardly taking a paycut. I'm not saying what he did was wrong because I'm all for players getting all the money they can, but let's stop pretending that he took a paycut when in actuality it was a raise.
I'm talking about when he took a pay cut back in 2007 to bring Moss in. I am also referencing a pay cut/restructure that he took when they brought in several other players a few years back too. Would Flacco do that? No. Otherwise, he would've took less so he could keep Boldin here. I'm not saying Boldin's the answer, but he could have helped us with the middle of the field stuff at least
He wants respect through money... sorry, but if you want respect, then take less money in order to help the team, and win some dang games in the regular season to make people respect your work. I'm sorry, but I just don't think Flacco is the brightest gem in the world.
LOL, the "great" Joe Flacco is only six spots ahead of Geno Smith in quarterback rating. There's guys on the street you can find putting up these kind of numbers never mind paying 120.6 over 6 or 20.1 AAV. In Ozzie I don't trust
Yeah cuz Geno Smith has gone to the playoffs 5 consecutive years, and to the AFC championship game 3 times and won a super bowl right? Oh and Geno Smith's running game is horrible right now right?
Let's just ignore the worst O-line in ravens history
I wonder if guys off the street can match his TD-INT ratio in the 2012 playoffs.
Another week gone by of pathetic offense. I don't know what's worse, the offensive line, Ray Rice, or Flacco not being able to take his game to the next level. Speaking of Flacco I haven't watched one game this season counting preseason in which I felt comfortable about the money invested in this guy. He continues to have the same warts, lack of field vision, staring down recievers , poor pocket awareness, lack of football IQ when it comes to time management, down and distance, cr...
lmbo
Aye let Tyrod Taylor get a shot at...and come on now ray rice I know you can run the ball better then that
your'e the best man
I'd love to see Flacco show up for more than the 4th quarter. Last week he showed up for two quarters. Here's hoping this is the first week this season the Ravens get three solid quarters of football out of him. He's the highest paid player on the field with a 20.1 AAV so act like it with the performance and leadership. See Peyton Manning or "winning" Tom Brady.
Overall this season I am not too dissapointed in Flacco, but I will never agree that he deserved that contract.
At Gabefergy- The problem is the organization tried to transition to an offensive oriented team and doesn't have to personnel to pull it off. For years Flacco has campaigned for more autonomy in the game plan and at the line of scrimmage, he has it and he's looking up at rookie Bill's quarterbacks in QB rating. I hope he can do better but quite frankly at 20.1 AAV the last thing I'd like to hear is excuses. This is most of his own doing and will more than likely be Flacco...
Our receivers do not get anywhere near the separation that other elite receivers do. Then, when Flacco puts the ball right in there hands we get drops. Flacco still has his inconsitent problems, but I'll still cut him slack. He needs a running game, better pass blocking, receivers that know how to run routes and catch the ball and he needs to stop getting hit so much.
Flacco gets worst grade of any Ravens from PFF in the Ravens 6 point loss to the Browns. To hear the usual suspects on this site tell it he played great. Flacco has an elite type contract but delivers journeyman statistics. This team is in deep, deep trouble with that contract.
Flacco had a bad game, partly due to the windy conditions. Flacco is an Elite QB! He proved that last year. The O-line and bad play calling is what is the problem. You could see last Sunday, when Joe was given the keys to the offense, that he is the offense! What I don't understand is, why Ozzie paid him the biggest contract in the history of the NFL, and Harbs didn't give Joe the keys in week 1. You don't pay someone and then not let them do what they do best.
Anyone who relies on PFF grades knows squat about football. They are beyond non-credible.
Joe rolled the dice and earned his big pay day chiefly for helping to win the Superbowl. His contract along with Rice, Ngata, Suggs, Webb, and Yanda are huge cap eaters. So, there will be little room for improving the roster except through the draft and we all know that means hard times are coming. I suggest the next three years will be retooling years, maybe the Ravens can remain relevant, but we as fans will have to be patient. We've been treated to good a very good five year run.
Flacco is in over his head. His demands to be compensated for far more than his value as a player will undermine this team for years to come.
For instance, Joe's cap hit this year is only $6.8M, that includes signing bonus. T-Sizzle is nearly DOUBLE that with $13.02M this year. Why can't he close out games when our offense gives them the lead?
Any educated fan understands the ramifications of 120.6 million and 20.1 million AAV. If the Ravens can't win now they will find tougher sledding when more of Flacco's dollars count against the cap. Hence , Flacco is in over his head. As Flacco received more and more autonomy in the offense (something he campaigned for BTW) not only his numbers suffer but the whole offense is sinking as well.
It's all relative. Flacco's performance last year, especially in the postseason, determined his value in the market. If you want someone to blame, don't blame Flacco. Blame Mark Sanchez and his contract; his production was lesser than Flacco's when he had signed his own extension and that resulted in Flacco getting big bucks for having played extraordinarily better.
