Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
No, it is absolutely important. That's my point.
A few pages back some made the point that Joe struggles when defenses make the Ravens' offense 1 dimensional. I clearly pointed out that Joe played pretty damn well in the playoffs last year and both the Patriots and Texans made the Ravens 1 dimensional by taking away the run, which would undoubtedly point to the fact that Joe CAN play pretty damn well when Rice has nowhere to run. There is historical evidence backing that up. Can he struggle? Sure, but so can every other QB in the NFL.
Then, you were quick to point out that both of Flacco's TD's were a result of the Texans goofs. You - and others - were also quick to point out that the Patriots had a poor defense ranking that year. Then you admitted that the Patriots' front 7 was pretty good and that they played really well that game.
The point is, it is ALL important. You can't single out ONE specific incident and make a claim as if it is truth. It doesn't work that way. Football doesn't work that way.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
Wow Dude,i feel like a dentist with that pick that hit a nerve! Worst post ever? C'mon, the truth really must hurt. All over expecting a #1 pick to play like #1 pick? Really.
Way too many words to even read.
All I want is for the Ravens #1 pick not to lose games, (which he has with red zone picks, fumbles, deer in the headlight look, duh! ) Hell, I don't even wont him to win games, just don't keep losing them by throwing the game away.

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
You know, you're right.
For a tackle playing guard, he hasn't been too bad, a solid C- overall
Here's how FilmStudy (Ken McKusick) has graded him from week to week:
Raiders -- 47 snaps, 43 blocks, 2 missed, 1 pressure, 1 QH, 1 illegal use of hands, 32 points (.68 per play)
1st Steelers -- 56 plays, 45 blocks, 2 missed, 0 penetrations, 1 + 1/3 QH, 1 false start, 45 points (.80 per play)
Chargers -- 78 blocks, 3 missed, 1 penetration, 1 + 0.25 pressures, 1/2 QH, 1/3 sack, 1 false start, 65 points (.74 per play)
2nd Steelers -- 51 blocks, 3 missed, 1.5 penetrations, 1 pressure, 46 points (.81 per play)
Redskins -- 51 blocks, 5 missed, 1 penetration, 1 false start, 46 points (.81 per play)
Broncos -- 54 blocks, 5 missed, 1 pressure, 1/3 sack, 50 points (.82 per play)
Giants -- 77 plays, 67 blocks, 7 missed, 1 penetration, 1 pressure, 1 QH, 2/3 chop block, 54 points (.70 per play)
He hasn't been spectacular, but he has been consistent.
Alright, so maybe we might have just enough at O-line to pull off a Super Bowl victory. Hey, if the Steelers could do it in 2008 and the Giants last season with their lines as bad as they were...

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
I agree with this.
I think what Dirt said was correct, but what people forget is that I said that Tom Brady struggles a lot of the time too when the ground game isn't working. I bet Brady would have loved to have Stevan Ridley of this year in that SB game against the Giants.
Point is, most QB's struggle to win games or play well without an effective ground game. And that doesn't mean rushing for 200 yards every game, you can have games like the Bengals in week 1 when we were rushing for like 5.5 yards a carry, but Rice only had 66 rushing yards, yards doesn't matter all that much when you think of it though.

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
Yeah Jah Reid deserves more credit than what he gets around here. The dude has never played guard in his life, let alone the NFL, and after only a handful of starts, he's holding up pretty well making a mistake or two here and there. Some people are making him out to be a bust already, I mean wtf lol. I actually think he could be going into next season as the long term starter at LG if he continues to learn the position and improve, which he has.

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
I uh, I uh...I don't know about this one guys, maybe we should throw him back in the water. Don, you remind me of a guy I work with. He always used that wonderful, 'deer in the headlights' phrase and even chided Flacco for having the gall to throw away a pass instead of 'taking the sack like a man'. What a moron. The both of you. How many games has Flacco actually, 'thrown away'? Gimme a break. Jesus Christ, the mental midgets on this board make me want to hunt the lot of you down, get you in a room and let you scratch each others' eyes out with a spoon. Because it hurts more, you twits.

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
You're right.
The Pats' defense was different from the Ravens' D.
The Pats D had Wilfork living in the Ravens backfield all game.
The Ravens D did not have Ngata living in the Pats backfield all game.
The Ravens D produced 3 turnovers.
The Pats D produced only 1.
The Pats D made the game saving pass defense.
The Ravens D never got that chance, thanks to Evans and Cundiff.
Btw, for those who think Flacco didn't outplay Brady:
Code:Comp. Att. Yards TDs INTs Brady : 22 36 239 0 2 (Brady did have 1 rushing TD) Flacco : 22 36 306 2 1

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
Flacco is ALWAYS BLAMED. Even when HE never fucks up, if we lose, it's on Flacco. That's okay, he's the QB, that's part of the job description. When he DOES do the right thing, he STILL gets blamed. The guy can't win.
What a concept, you mean turnovers help contribute to wins and losses?! Well my STARS! Too bad Flacco isn't the only QB in the game who throws picks and fumbles, otherwise you might not sound like you've recently had a lobotomy.
