Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
If I were a Deadskins fan, I'd be more worried about how my coach ruined their franchise QB.

Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
Yesterday on Moving the Chains Tim Ryan said that if the 49ers' passrush doesn't improve Flacco is going to carve them up.

Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
It's funny. While I am sure there is still a lot of angst towards the Redskins, Jack Kent Cooke, etc...it seems as if in the last few years, there has been much more vitriol directed at the Ravens from the Redskins fans than vice versa.
From the multi-page threads on their message board, to Dan Steinberg's multi-posts about Ravens fans on the DC Sports Bog...it just seems like they are the one with the chip (or the bigger chip) on their should these days...

This dude is actually picking us to win but this line stuck out like a sore thumb:
Joe Flacco, for most plays of most games, is a below-average quarterback.

LA Times guys praises the 'Weird, Wild' Ravens
http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jan...nship-20130121
"Ray Rice jumped and shouted, "Where's the trophy, where's the trophy? Is it metal or plastic? Where is it?"
Terrell Suggs finished the parade by pointing down the hall to where the Patriots were trudging inside and hollered, "Tell them to have fun in the Pro Bowl. . . . Arrogant bleeps!"
Just before reaching their locker-room door, the Ravens passed their No. 1 fan, swimmer Michael Phelps, who was proudly pulling up his shirt and shoving down his jeans and showing everyone his purple underwear.
"This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen," said a man with 18 Olympic gold medals.
Memo to those darling San Francisco 49ers: Are you ready for this?""Nothing stops these Baltimore Ravens. Beat them, injure them, shove them to the bottom of the standings, drag them into a hostile environment and mount a big lead, and they just keep trudging forward like nothing fazes them." (Bleacher Report)

Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
At first glance, I thought that was a slap at Flacco, too. But on re-reading it, I think he is saying that Flacco is "below average" in terms of the QB stats he listed: Comp. %, net yards per attempt, QBR. Which you can't dispute.
What you can dispute is his analysis. He seems to put the majority of the blame for stalled drives, and missed short passes on Flacco. I would argue that while Flacco can be inconsistent at times, the system Flacco was running most of this year was not the best designed for him or the Ravens offense to maintain long drives (see Greg Cossell's analysis).
I think he also is flawed when he commends Kaepernick for his 2 big game performances in the playoffs, but nary a mention of Flacco's out-playing and defeating Brady and Manning on the road.
He does commend Flacco for not turning the ball over and hitting the big plays that bust the games open...which is what Flacco did in Denver, but again, that ignores Flacco's MO during the New England game, which was short to intermediate passes over the middle.
I would say his analysis is incomplete and faulty...or very selective, at best.

Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
When I heard Tim Hasslebeck speak on Joe and continue to downplay his performance and fail to acknowledge his consistent performance since our OC change - I was ready to smack the shit out of him.
I could not be a sports analyst, some of these analysts are just down-right re fucking tarded and closed minded.
