    Re: Flacco Closing in on 4,000 yards.

    Passing yards care. I don't see anyone posting his yards per attempt which currently is the same from his 2009 season.

    It's crazy though how 4,000 yards means nothing anymore. It wasn't that long ago when breaking 3,000 put you in the top 5 in the league. It's sad how they've killed defense.
    I'd argue that 4000 yards is a big deal for Flacco, even if it isn't a rare feat for top NFL QBs. For him to reach this mark despite his inconsistent play further reiterates the fact that the sky is the limit for J5.

    Re: Flacco Closing in on 4,000 yards.

    It's funny how some people forget so easily. I for one remember the years when 3k was a big deal here. Let me give you the list who never reached that 4k milestone here in Baltimore:

    Harbaugh
    Blake
    Banks
    Boller
    Mitchell
    Redmen
    Grbac
    McNair

    So hell yes it's a big deal, but more importantly, it's wins and losses that matter the most. Joe has a remarkable record in that category. Unfortunately not many want to give him any credit, or they won't until he wins the big one.

    Did they take him out in garbage time yesterday? Nope.

    He'll play. Ed won't, Boldin won't, Ray Rice might not get many touches, but Flacco plays.

    I wonder if your be around to eat crow when Joe is playing in the 2nd half.

    Huh? Peyton Manning won a SB. Who cares. IMO it's not play off success unless you win the big one. I'd rather win a SB and go one and done for the next 4 years than constantly put up with AFCCG or divisional game losses every year.

    Actually I believe his 252.2 yards per game is currently his career high right now.

    For all the crap that Flacco gets, he's closing in on 4,000 yards, and current has a 22-10 TD-INT ratio. Not too shabby.

    Peyton Manning was carried to that Super Bowl by Bob Sanders. His "playoff performance" was mediocre at best that year. If we're to judge him by the standard you want to set for Flacco- who played well enough in the playoffs last year to put us in the Super Bowl- Peyton Manning is at best a mediocre quarterback who chokes in big games.

    Shoot, I guess we can throw Marino on the list of not-good-enough QB's, too.

    Players should be judged by their whole body of work, with consideration given to the context in which they play. We also shouldn't confuse team accomplishments with individual accomplishments: no single player ever won a Super Bowl.

    Frankly I disagree. For me there is the regular seasons where I always want my team to play hard and playing meaningfull games in week 16-17. As much as I hate to fail in the POs, I hate even more seasons like 2005 and 2007!

    And as for one and done 2006 would have hurt less, if we at least had won that Colts game.

    Btw if Steelers can, so can we.

They will be game planning for the Colts all week this week and next week, not the Bengals. They know the Bengals and see them twice a year. It will be like the 4th preseason game.
    The NE game is at 4. Having a hail mary shot at a 4th seed? First of all, we can do no worse than the 4 seed. The question is whether we get the 3 seed. If NE loses and we win, we would get the 3 seed...so I don't think that's exactly a "hail mary" scenario. That said, I'd much rather have to go back to Houston, then Denver. If Houston beats Indy this week, they would be the 1 seed. I don't think Indy is playing for anything this week...they're the 5 seed either way, right? So it would be pretty surprising if Houston didn't take the one seed. In summation, let's rest everybody and take the four seed and let NE go to Denver.

    But how long did that take for Peyton? 12 years? I think that was his point.
