Re: Week 2 Game Thread
Well, unfortunately you have some people who don't think Flacco can EVER EVER do anything wrong. And the passing game stalling is NEVER his fault. If Flacco isn't given the perfect scenario every game, he should not be expected to perform and we should just accept that because it's not his fault.
It pisses me off. People act like other QB's never get pressured consistently and that other QB's wr's never get held up in tight coverage. I don't think it's to much to expect an elite QB to overcome some of that and make the plays when it matters. That's what elite QB's do.

Re: Week 2 Game Thread
No not at all.
I'm not going to continue with this back and forth as I see it as futile. No one is saying he is faultless.
Though evident by your post, that's what you prefer to think in order to make our opinions and logic seem useless. It's easier for you or people like you to do it that way to make things seem less credible.
Unfortunately, this simply isn't the case with me. I can see that any of our players are not infallible of blame.
In Flacco's case, you are driving to extremes, however. This will be last post on the matter as it is mildly boggling one's logic to be able to see it that way...
I respect your right to have your opinion as a Ravens fan however. :)
Go week 3 - Let's just hope our D doesn't get destroyed (again) next week.

Re: Week 2 Game Thread
Like Brady did today? Like Drew Brees has done the last two games?
No one is saying Joe isn't at fault for any part of this game. And to suggest otherwise because people aren't putting the entire game on him again is overreacting to a bad game.
The passing game stalling was as much the OL and playcalling's problem as it was Flacco missing. As was a touchdown taken away from him. It was an all-around poor game.

Re: Week 2 Game Thread
I don't "hate" anybody because of a football game. I'm not 12. However, Flacco was inaccurate all day. Yea, we'd have probably won had the TD to Jones stood up but that does not mean Flacco was sharp. He wasn't. The long pass to Torrey Smith was a good example. Without him doing a 360, that's not a completion. He was off on many other throws, too. But, as I said, Cam is a much bigger problem than Flacco. He always has been.

Re: Week 2 Game Thread
I think most people are acknowledging that he played poorly today.
However, there are multiple reasons and contributing factors to that poor performance (outside of just him not playing well). Some folks on here though just want to find fault in Flacco regardless of anything else. Injuries, receivers not getting open, OL break downs, bad game plan...none of that matters and none of that has any bearing on the outcome of the game either.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Week 2 Game Thread
I didn't see either game, so I can't comment beyond the fact that they both lost.
I DID see Joe Flacco play today and it wasn't pretty. Are there things on the offense other than Joe that needs to improve? Sure, I haven't said otherwise. I just don't think dismissing his poor performance and passing the blame off to the OL, WR's and Cam is fair either.

Re: Week 2 Game Thread
To me, this is about as much a team loss as you can have. Joe was poor. The Defense was poor. Bright spots were few...Rice and Tucker. But the thing the burns me up the most was the coaching. It was horrible and if I'm gonna slice up a blame pizza... this is the biggest slice.
