"Marc Trestman will have to be creative in finding plays that will work for other targets". Imagine that. What a concept!!

Thats not a criticism on Trestman's creativity.

thats a criticsim on the difficulty encountered in finding plays that work for these other targets because of their limited talent.

Kamar Aiken played a year and a half with Brady and had 0 catches. His next stop was Baltimore, where he had 25 catches and 3 TDs. Brady has had a couple chances to extend the careers of aging veterans who were past their prime, and he failed. SSS was declining in Carolina, but with Joe, he had resurgent seasons at 35 and 36, which pretty much never happens. Joe has had 2 receivers over the age of 35 with 1,000 yd seasons. How many qbs can say that? Flacco clearly made Torrey much better. In his prime at 26, he's on pace for his worst season by far without Joe. Ed Dickson's production significantly declined without Flacco, and the same can be said for Owen Daniels so far. Pretty much every one of our WRs/TEs plays better with Flacco than without him. Our offense is ranked in the top half of the league, and put up 30 points in a game where our top 2 WRs were undrafted, and both of our active TEs were rookies. If Flacco didn't make his receivers better, we might literally have the worst offense in the league right now. Brady doesn't make his receivers better. He gets elite weapons like Moss and Gronk. Flacco has been making the most of an extremely limited supporting cast.

ive given up on explaining these things to people. most are pretty determined to not subscribe to reality.

Thanks, for straightening out that (about Flacco). I always liked Joe and it's good to get some reassurance. Thanks!

Thunderoach,  Harbaugh is one of the best things still left on this team. We have lost so much but he keeps swinging. Don't think for one moment the players don't want to play for him. He certainly is not perfect but who is. It could be a lot worse believe it or not.

As much as I'd love for the Ravens to make the Playoffs I just can't picture this team winning out. SSS gone, no real #1 WR and a defence that breaks down in the 4th quarter. I just don't see it happening unfortunately. The team has to many injuries and don't make key plays (turnovers, first downs, 3rd down stops) to get to the next step. Still a Raven fan though lol

Some absolutely horrible calls once again in this game. The refs are definitely becoming too big a part of the game, and are actually ruining the product on the field.

"I'm sorry, Baltimore, but Justin Tucker isn't allowed to kick game-winning field goals anymore. For everybody else's sake. We just can't let him dance anymore.%u201D

What's SB Nation?
