I think spiteful and vindictive may be a tad strong...if he took Flacco's comments a certain way, then I can't knock him for wanting to get a retort in there. My issue is, Ray seems to think there are two ways of doing things: his way, and the wrong way. Maybe if every other teammate Joe has ever had didn't have his back, or would have said something similar to what Ray did, this would be a non-issue. No love lost for Ray, I have always said he has a ridiculous ego, and too many people have no clue what leadership is, when they mistake squirrel dances for leadership. Ray is a legend, love him to death. But when you're wrong, you're wrong...

“It’s just odd that you hear Ray Lewis saying something. Joe Flacco won you a Super Bowl, did you forget about that?” Weddle said. “I don’t know. It is what it is. We love Joe. He’s our guy. He’s a great teammate, professional, leads, everything you want. It’s kind of irrelevant. We don’t really care what the outside thinks. For an old teammate to say that, it’s just like, ‘Don’t you have something better to talk about?’ I guess he didn’t.”

Did you even read what I said? "Ray was a great leader, but not because he waved the pom poms." I bring up Trevor Pryce because it illustrates the point that grown men don't give a crap about how many dogs are in the house and squirrel dances. That's for the fans, and Ray. Nobody is diminishing what Ray meant to this franchise. If you want to construe it as bashing Ray to protect Flacco, go right ahead.

Not going to bother reading all the comments...the usual bridge dwellers are going to like what Ray said, the more sensible people will see it for what it is. I remember being at our playoff game in 2006 and watching Trevor Pryce roll his eyes and look away when Ray started the pregame hooting and hollering. People need to stop equating loud and obnoxious with leadership. Ray was a great leader, but because he waved the pom poms

It is hilarious how huge Ray's ego has always been. Me me me me....

This is one massive pill for me to swallow, since he has been one of my favorite players for a dozen years, but if it comes to having to choose between Suggs or keeping both Brandon and Jernigan, we have to let Suggs go. Jernigan and Williams are too important to lose, especially to keep a guy at the end of his career. Preferably, we figure out what to do with Webb and his inflated contract, and Doom is likely gone anyway.

Umm...they've given up 111 points the last three weeks alone lol...

I actually agree with this; the run blocking has generally been mediocre, sometimes pretty bad, but from what I've seen, pass pro has usually been solid for the most part. Probably ranks in the 10-12 range over the past five years.

I just edited the answer instead of making another reply.

Well, that's because I'm not doing that LOL. The problems in GB are somehow simple, and complex, at the same time. Part of Rodgers' struggles is as you mentioned, his WRs not getting open, and a complete lack of contributions from their TEs. And the OL. On the other hand, those guys still make great plays often enough to make things work, primarily in the red zone. Nelson and Adams have been frackin' crushing it. Rodgers has been great in the red zone, as always this year -- thanks in large part to those guys. In between the 20s is where the offense struggles. Rodgers is NOT the main problem there, or really even a problem at all. But he is not doing as well as the 22 TD / 7 INT ratio would suggest.

Oh, Rodgers has been struggling, quite badly at times, this is again a case of stats being bogus. I haven't seen Stafford play a single game this year, but I have seen several GB games. GB and the Saints I follow religiously as well as Bmore.

And that is Mili's line. +35

"No Sami, we cannot legally cut Flacco during the game, can we?"

I'm not disagreeing that A-Rod has struggled quite a bit. But, what I am getting at is -- why? And how does that affect his stat lines?

I'd be happy with a bushel of crabs and a case of Corona!

That is the statistics that they accumulated while passing the ball. Strange what happens when you start applying context to those stats, isn't it? Lets try this another way. Stafford is the 5th rated starter on the list. Rodgers is the 15th rated starter. Is Stafford REALLY that much better than Rodgers? Would you really have Stafford as your QB than A-Rod? Or would you look past the stats to evaluate them?

Hey, what are you doing in Brady's locker anyway?? I still havent figured that out

I'd be thrilled to take stats out of it and show you the many great plays (and a couple non-plays) Flacco made during that run!

So then you agree Aaron Rodgers is the 25th best QB in the league? Luck the 26th best? Rivers the 27th best? LOL

I like how all of the sudden, NOW he wants to add context to stats LOL

So, you really believe that Matt Ryan is the second best QB in the NFL, or Dak is the fourth best, or Stafford the fifth best? Or is that just their statistical ranking?

The fact that DeMarco Murray is the top rated QB in the NFL is proof that stats are meaningless. LMAO!!

dont run the team!

LOL! I mean, 250 yards with 2 TDs and 0 INT gets a qbr of 97. How does that guarantee anything? It doesn't even guarantee the qb played well. Kessler had a qbr of 93.5 against us and they got blown out LOL

Never happened to me
