Quick revisit to the thread's original topic. I searched for a post-Kubiak article/video/audio stream where one or more analysts wildly praised Flacco's offensive group but have yet to find anything. Something along the lines of "Joe has all these reliable weapons around him but he's missing opportunities" or "his pass-catchers and o-line are among the best in the league but he still fails to get it done." I've never encountered an expression like this (verbatim or paraphrased) in sports media about the Raven's offense. Can anyone point me to an off-site analysis where this is expressed? Thanks in advance.

Good: Wright and Mosely with clutch deflections late. Tavon steadily improving. Seemed like the defensive front and secondary traded places today when it came to dependability. Bad: Penalties in the second half. I dunno what it is that has us fall apart after the first half. Ugly: Watching Philly trying to spoil us to the very last second.

Noticed how he needed water after pushing accountability through his throat? Throat was like "what? What is THIS!?!? This isn't normal" *Jokes* I still like Harbs though.

Indeed it is. Jordy being clutch as usual too.

Look at Wentz's protection. Wish MY qb had that kind of line late.

What an atrocious time for the line to return to its old self.

Curtis Samuel isn't always listed as a pure receiver on prospect boards but I like what I've seen on video. Any additional thoughts on him? Upside/downside, etc?

Gotta love when Joe-bashers have a meltdown after failing to get realists to bash Joe with them.

Short but he actually kept it! WTG Moore!!

So at what point do we give someone else an opportunity to run it back?

1ST ROUND PICK!!

Cue Sting's WCW music between snaps!!

Won't be surprised to see Flacco kill in Foxboro as he usually does. I just hope Powers/Wright succeed in their match-ups against Brady's weapons Monday.

While I agree that Flacco has been independently mediocre in some instances I still tend to look at the o-line first since that's where production begins each play no matter what the call is. As @The Mom Gene pointed out, the line has been largely makeshift for much of the season. I also think many of us here look to the WRs since it's impossible for Joe to control drops, failure to separate, cutting routes short, or sleeping during scramble plays. Just as we look to the QB to elevate his level of play it's just as logical to expect each lineman and receiver to elevate their own level of play as well. Joe has proven time and again that he can position the team to win without getting in anyone's face so I won't be upset if he doesn't continue any sideline theatrics lol.

Some clown at NFL dot com tried to belittle today's victory against the Dolphins and shame us for not leaning on the run game. It was a joy to read especially considering how he consistently fails to shame the Packers who've pretty much done the same thing the majority of the Rodgers era.

Eli Apple is keeping the Giants in this game lol.

Eli throwing INTs across his body just like his overrated brother lol.

Giants have to go for it.

Another no-call burying the Giants lol. You know it's bad when the commentators mention it.

NY's line was non-existent after that snap. I feel their pain lol.

Who's getting the ball 2nd half? I missed the coin flip.

Giants not looking like their record implies. Hope they get it together...like now!

Ha, you read my mind. Make no mistake though. I'm not even close to doghousing him personally. I still think he'll shine in due time.

Good: The O-Line. Nice return to post-Bye form and giving Joe time to make throws. Pass-catchers were hot today too. Bad: Watching the refs pretend Pitta's knee wasn't down prior to the ball coming out. Ugly: Watching young guys struggle due to lack of reps. Not complaining just tough to watch at times.
