    You know, I've seen a couple people say that we wont have anyone on the Offense side of the ball to get the job done. Personally I think West/Buck are going to have a great game, Aiken will hang in there as he usually does. Anyone heard anything on Gillmore? However, I think Daniel Brown is going to be hungry after that first TD robbery last weekend. Just hope he comes out ready to play.

    Will 'the thrill' Hill lived up to his name​! He came up with perhaps one of the most thrilling plays to end a game for us with a 'W'! It ranks up there with Ray Lewis' stop in San Diego, Ray Rice's 4th & 27 run and Jacoby's miracle in Mile High catch!

     

    Perfect ending for the game. Another play that also ranks up there is when we were in Oakland back in 2000 , and Shannon Sharpe got the little bubble pass and ran for the 96 yard TD.

    That isn't going to happen without Flacco. So, our only choices are to eat the cap hit that we commited to, or extend him and try to lower his cap hit that way.

     

    It's either that, or trade him, and use that savings on other positions. Obviously, we're not dumb enough to let him go to another team, so we'll likely extend him come this offseason

    I agree, we need Flacco to continue on that road. Just hoping he comes back from the ACL injury stronger, would hate to see any setbacks.

    We just need Flacco to come in this offseason with realistic numbers in mind for a restructure. I was talking to my dad about this last night and he is very much in the wagon of, if Flacco doesn't restructure than we have to get rid of him type of mindset.

     

    I would have to disagree with you Virginia, he is OUR franchise QB. If we change within the next 2 years than you're looking at more seasons like this but from a different scale, instead of not having decent enough receivers, we wont have a decent enough QB. Personally, I'm not a fan of more seasons like this, I'd rather know that we are heading back to playoffs next year and the following and so on.

    For me I would say so. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. I didn't get a chance to watch the game yesterday but when my Ravens app went off saying we won, I was genuinely excited, then another notification came through that Flacco was out for the rest of the season. That's when my heart sank.

     

    I have to ask though and this might be the wrong place to do so, however in regards to injuries, are the guys not taking care of themselves or what's going on? It seems like for the past couple of years we have been plagued by injuries and half of our team going to IR.

     

    Just curious.

    Utter made-up nonsense.

     

    Since Flacco entered the league he has 67 games (including post-season) with a QB Rating of 90 or better.  There are only 5 QB's with more than that in the same time span: Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, and Peyton Manning.  4 out of 5 are unquestionably going to the Hall of Fame, and Rivers has been in that conversation as well.  So only played at a high level in a handful of games?  Not true at all.

     

    He doesn't make other players better, they make HIM better?  Are you for real?  Flacco has been working with undersized receivers over the age of 30 and on the decline as his #1 for his entire career, except in 2013 with Torrey Smith, who is clearly not an NFL #1 quality receiver, and this year with Kamar Aiken, who isn't even in the same ballpark as Torrey Smith.  

     

    You want to be overly critical of Flacco because of THIS SEASON?  When he had a few games with a healthy Steve Smith Sr (who happened to have a serious case of not being able to catch in the end zone) and a few more games with an injured Steve Smith Sr, and more than half the season including the rest of it will be without him at all.  He's got 5 undrafted players and a guy that has only been here a few weeks and wasn't with this offense during training camp and pre-season, who couldn't get snaps in St Louis (possibly the 2nd worse receiving corps in the NFL this year, and we're so bad that we're picking up THERE scraps!).  He's got 2 rookie tight ends and a 2nd year tight end who was never supposed to be a receiving threat.

     

    Crockett Gillmore is having a great year.  This is not a player that was supposed to make Flacco look good, he was a blocking tight end coming out of the draft.  Suddenly he's a good receiving threat, and you give him all the credit AND discredit Flacco by saying he's being made to look good by the receiver?  If this were Tom Brady, you'd be saying "Wow, look at Brady making Gillmore a great tight end receiving threat!"  But since it's Joe, you give Gillmore credit for making Flacco look good, rather than the other way around?  

     

    Kamar Aiken couldn't catch a single pass when he was in Tom Brady's system.  Why didn't Tom Brady make him "better"?  Oh, but I guess it's Aiken who is making Flacco look good, not the other way around?  Well, this is besides the fact that Aiken DOESN'T look good, and is making Flacco look WORSE than he is, because Aiken  ISN'T good!  That's why Aiken couldn't do squat on the Patriots, with Tom Brady, a system and player who are adept at making the most out of anyone, but Aiken just isn't good enough for them, but here Joe is with Aiken as his freaking #1 receiver.

     

    Flacco's stats even look worse than they should because his receiver let him down a lot. He leads the league in two dubious categories: TD passes dropped by the recevier in the end zone, and pass completions where the receiver was tackled within 1 yard of the end zone.  Joe could easily have 20 passing TDs on his stat sheet right now if his receivers were actually even NFL average in the red zone and could get that extra yard for a TD, or hell just catch the ball when it comes your way in the end zone.

     

    A lot has gone wrong for Flacco this year and he's working with the worst receiving corps in the NFL, but you want to put all the blame on him and give him none of the credit and say that his receivers make HIM look good.  That's such a joke.

     

    This!
