I'm no Matt Ryan fan, but he's asked to do much more on team with much less all around talent.

 

I guess if you call two top flight receivers and Steven Jackson "much less all around talent", then ok.   But he threw two pick 6's today.   Let me know when anyone here can remember Flacco doing that with the season on the line.

Yeah, much less...? Julio, Roddy, and up until this year, Tony, but that's much less? Oooookay

Anyone here watch the Joe Flacco press conference?

 

Interviewer: "With the season on the line and you go 8/9, 2 scoring drives and 2 touchdown passes, is that what defines a Quarterback? Is that a big moment for you to do that?"

 

Flacco: *pause* "I have no idea."

I would respectfully disagree. Mattie Ice or Frozen (Ice in His Veins)Joe Flacco? No contest!!! Joe

wins hands down today and every day. SPORTS TRIVIA QUESTION: Which QB has Drew Brees beaten more?

Mattie Ice or Frozen Joe? ANSWER: He's never beaten Joe.

His o line is awful and defense much worse. I saw 68(Gabe Carimi) trying to block Star Lotulei and thought they had a TE on the o line at guard. If this offense didn't have this defense, there would be many more losses. This team is much better built than the Falcons and Steven Jackson isn't the same Steven Jackson.

And I meant whole team, not just offense.

Hate as I must to tout my own horn, I said in a previous post before the Brownies game to expect a heavy dose of Terrence West and that's what we got. To the Raven fan who told me there was no chance of that happening, it's your turn to eat some Raven, I mean crow. Now, be a man and admit you were wrong for once in your life. I said all along we just drafted the wrong Terrence. Great game today, Terrence! Thanks for not going over 100 yards on the ground! You done Towson proud, son!

What would you say if someone told you before the season that Justin Forsett would out rush Jamaal Charles and Arian Foster?

Where are all those who wished the Ravens had drafted Matt Ryan instead of Joe Flacco? :)

Check the game threads wherever it's at a point where flacco does anything wrong.. They always end up posting right then for some reason

How soon will games be slotted into times/days?

Which slot we lookig at?

 

Probably in the next 24 hours.  I know they usually wait until everything is over to get the whole west coast/east coast thing situated, although that's not really a worry with Pitt and Cinci playing right now.

Im honestly wanting a Saturday night game.

I don't work Saturday and knowing my work I will be scheduled during the game like the last 2 weeks. I miss college.

I'm with you, except that before the season we had plans still to go back to Rice after Week 2.

I don't think anyone would reasonably believed this because he was still Rice's backup and Kubiak said the Ravens would live and die by Rice. I didn't have faith in the Chiefs offensive line or Arian Foster's body to hold up, but Forsett, at the time he was signed, was the third running back and then the Ravens drafted one.

Ehh.. The rice comment was definitely coach speak.. Everyone figured that video would come out sooner or later possibly.. Easy to speculate more was to come of rice

As I already said, not a big fan of pierce and bowing forsett had history with Kubiak and seeing that Kubiak likes to use past players it's not as much of a stretch

With the way Rice played in the preseason and how he got the bulk of the work and had been a Raven for life, probably not just coach speak for a player who was on his fifth team in five or six years. Given most people figured Pierce was built for the ZBS and they drafted a running back. There was zero indication that Forsett would be a big part of the offense, or more than just someone to help teach the scheme

So what was our defense then?   Because if we didn't have the defense we had, and had our starting CB's, we could/should be 12-4 making stops in the second Cincy and the San Diego game.

 

You aren't going to win this debate.  There is no way Matt Ryan has less all around talent around him than Flacco.   It just isn't true.

If you don't acknowledge the better ALL AROUND talent on this team, then don't respond cause you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
