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!!!
Yet another uneducated Steeler's fan remark I hear from time to time: "We have 6 super bowls!!"... um, well in case you have never learned history before, the Steelers are about 30-40 years older than us. I sure hope you have more rings.
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!!!
I love how Dean Peas finally used Webb the way he should have all year. Webb looked like his former self and proved to me that when used on blitzes and more agressivly that he is worth every cent of his contract. Once again in a Huge game Mr. Ngata decides that football just isn't that important! Rice I was making excuses for you, but after today, I see that you need to hang it up my friend! You are too slow and your football tires have ran flat!!
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.
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...
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 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.
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.
