I like how Le'Veon Bell thinks all the other teams in his division are dirty, but leaves out one of the dirtiest teams in the game...the one he plays for. Yeah, that's right, it is every other team in the game that is dirty, but the one you play for is full of choir boys.

Hines Ward, James Harrison, Joey Porter, Hines Ward, Ryan Clark, Mike Mitchell, Mike Tomlin, Hines Ward.

I hate the Bengals too but the Steelers acting like saints is pure hypocrisy.

Joe can get 4000 yds easy but the Ravens have to lose the "we must run to win" mentally! The Super Bowl against the 49ers Joe slung that rock so much they turned off the power! Or was that too much like rite?! Stop holding him back or it back to fundamental football, run on 1st and 2nd pass on 3rd and punt! SMH

We ran it the exact same number of times as we threw it in the SB. 33 pass attempts doesn't categorize as "slinging it" by any NFL standards. We threw it more on a per game average in 2013, 2014, and 2015 than we did in that SB or in that SB season.

 

You're talking at the end of the day "BUDDY"! The Ravens moved the ball through the air the 1st half and the game was over! The power going off slowed the game down and it changed things up! Smh

Joe Flacco showed us his arm when Troy Smith couldn't start and the Ravens didn't look back! Now all of a sudden the Ravens "NEED" the run to be successful to win and I'm not buying it! The run is needed but it's slowing this team up and stopping Joe from shattering the record book!

Not really. 20 passes in the 1st half, 15 runs. Pretty balanced. Again, this isn't hard research to do. Facts > opinions in ALL scenarios.

Good try sighting one game as evidence where throwing the ball a lot works. Would you like me to show you multiple examples where throwing it a ton ended up with us losing a lot of games, or can we just both write your opinion off as baseless and move on?

I can play this game all day long...

Season opener 2013 against Broncos. Flacco throws 62 times and we lost 49-27. Every team needs balance.

Here is the Ravens record breakdown based on number of Joe's pass attempts historically (including playoffs)...

50 or more attempts: 3-7 all-time record.

45-49 pass attempts: 3-6 all-time record

40-44 pass attempts: 2-6 all-time record

That's a combined 8-19 all-time record when Joe is throwing the ball at least 40 times.

35-39 pass attempts: 13-11 all-time record

30-34 pass attempts: 19-17 all-time record

Another astonishing stat... the Ravens are 45-5 all time when Joe throws less than 30 passes in a game.

While these stats can be skewed by gameplan, how good our defense and running game is, etc. (probably skewed by the 08-10 years when we were as "ground and pound" as it gets), its pretty clear that once Joe gets to about 40 pass attempts in a game, the likelihood of us winning that game diminish greatly.
