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.

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."I don't know a man on this Earth who can outwork me". Ray Lewis

Re: Flacco Closing in on 4,000 yards.
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.

Re: Flacco Closing in on 4,000 yards.
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.

Re: Flacco Closing in on 4,000 yards.
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.

Re: Flacco Closing in on 4,000 yards.
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.
