And what do those numbers mean exactly? It would be relevant if they came on the same teams and systems.

That's exactly the problem, his limited mobility due to the knee means that he isnt moving around the pocket like he usually does, buying him time...he's already getting rid of the ball extremely quickly on average. That means he isn't always getting enough time to go beyond his first couple of reads. He doesn't need to get rid of the ball quicker, the OL just needs to hold up better.

You yourself have many times said we're making excuses for him. And you also just tried playing the "team sport" card. So, basically, yeah.

because you are claiming he is a loser. Why compare a loser like Flacco to successful ones in an attempt to make a point? Oh, I know why....

is it me or is it hilarious when people say silly things like: "Its a team sport, why should Flacco get all the credit" when we win, but yet, it isn't a team sport when the guys around him suck, thenit's just "excuses"

It isn't obvious? He's tentative, he's making bad decisions under pressure, and he isn't moving around the pocket nearly as well as he usually does. And the thing is -- we all know the reasons for all of the above. You'll just have to excuse me if I think his first eight years is more indicative of who he is than half a season playing in a dumpster fire of an offense.

So does it look like either unit is carrying the other, or was everyone doing their jobs just well enough to get to where we wanted to be? Do we even want to go down that road? I don't. I hate thinking about all the times the offense has screwed up, and I really hate thinking about all the late game leads the defense blew that the offense gave them over the past several years.

Considering the audience, I don't think he would have figured that one out any other way

I'm glad Sami doesn't run this team.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't lol

I know it's part of the game and all, but I hate seeing players being carted off the field; heck, I'd even feel bad for Brady if he go hurt. Well, maybe not too bad lol

No, there isn't really one main reason; it's a slew of things. Some of those things are in his control; most are not.

That about sums it up for me. Just a feeling of utter defeat, and having to suffer through last year all over again. Last year wasn't fun. I know Flacco isn't having his best year, but he is still our only chance at making a run...I just want to erase last year from my memory and that did no favors

LOL! What sucks is, Cleveland or SF already has him locked up

It's by no means "bad", especially given how our games against them always go. And yes, I love me some Flacco, and anyone else who wears this jersey. What of it?

Anyway, I think it's pretty crazy that 9-7 could actually win the division.

Finally, some facts!

12 out of 34; comes out to 35%. A little less than recent games, but not by that much.

well then lets tank the season. Clearly we have no chance at winning the division.

hmm. Well we may not even play the rest of these games then. Lets call it in and let them know we're done.

Well, I'm lost then. You said "Huge stretch to say we would have had back to back super bowl appearances with anything even approaching that level of certainty" when I was talking about Lee Evans. That was during the 2011 season. Would have given us back to back SB appearances. 2012 we won the SB. So not a clue what we're talking about here.

Are we seriously going to go 9-7 and win the division?? Because that's what it looks like at the moment
