To start that discussion:
Ravens rank #9 in points allowed per game: 20.6
Ravens rank #21 in 3rd down conversion rate, allowing 40% on the season (but 35% in the last 3 games.) Compare that to 32% allowed over the whole course of last season).
Ravens rank #2 in T/O ratio, averaging +1.2 turnovers pergame.

Seriously man. I got no end of shit for moving band practice earlier or later due to game time but no one blinked when the guitar player cancelled a practice for his fantasy football draft....
Re: A Flacco Did You Know
He's a bum. Can't even throw for 400 yards? Let him walk next season.

I blame this more on scheme than skill, but he's started every game since 2008. You figure he would have lucked into a 400 yard, 4 TD game by now. (He has thrown for 3 TDs and rushed for a TD in a game.)
He threw for four TDs against Chicago in '09.
Re: A Flacco Did You Know
He would have done it by now if it wasn't for those meddling kids.

You mean those meddling kids who prevented a bunch of interceptions and losses along the way? :p
Re: A Flacco Did You Know
I thought he also threw for four TDs against the Vikings in 09 as well? Maybe not. I do know that Matty Ryan didn't have a 400 yard game until this year, a nice match for his five interception game.
Re: A Flacco Did You Know
He's a winner, that's all that matters.
Still not Big Ben though...

Thank you! Even a Steelers fan knows that.

It's funny that you mention Ben, because Ben went through this same foolishness until he won his second Super Bowl. Ben got robbed of a few Pro Bowl appearances, because Rivers was racking up the statistics. Meanwhile, Ben racked up the W's.

Yup. Hell, Ben BLEW in his first SB game. Still, he's winner.

Ben has never been a stats guy. He is just a guy who throws touchdown passes with LBs draped on his back. He turns busted plays into points. I don't think anyone could ever say the Steelers win games in spite of Ben.
Re: A Flacco Did You Know
Did you know that Flacco plays his best when his receivers get open BEFORE the pass rush can get to him?
Did you know that?
Did you?
DID YOU?
DID YOU?!
I bet you didn't know that.
:crazy: :jester:

Thank You! Thank You! Fantasy Football has ruined the game for me! Years ago, sitting in the stands watching Jamal run all over Cleveland, one of my seat mates said. Okay Jamal you can stop now, (he didn't have him on his FF team).... I about lost it! Here was Jamal, on his way to setting the single game record(maybe), and this guy is worried about his FF team? :thumbdown:
