I dunno if Baltimore will make it... Not gonna take round corners on this one... I think Flacco is a horrible QB but the team is carrying him.
Flacco's a boss. He's having a down year after having his two safety blankets (Mason and Heap) cut at the beginning of the year. Also Anquan Boldin, and Baltimore in particular, are pretty high up in drops (like, top 8). We would've beaten you guys in the playoffs last year had Housh and Boldin not dropped a ball that hit them in the hands/chest on very key plays.
Also Flacco has had near identical stats to Matt Ryan and everyone sucks him off as a great quarterback.
So for ****s here's Flacco's career (4 seasons) compared to Ben's first 4 seasons.
Ben has Flacco in a few areas, and Flacco has ben in a few, but overall it's pretty identical. Also Ben had the luxury of Hines ******* Ward, whereas until this year our best receiver was Derrick Mason of all people. Boldin is a breath of fresh air and only now are he and Flacco starting to gel. So I don't see how Flacco's terrible. He's thrown less picks and has had a worse receiver corps to work with over time.
(bonus lol let's look at Drew Brees' first 4 years

but yea Flacco is a boss and I hope they resign him. With a proper offseason with the talent on offense, and after they fire our terrible offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, it's going to be awesome.
To give you an idea of how terrible of an OC Cam is...remember that strip sack Polamalu got on flacco last year? Flacco has no freedom to call too many audibles, so Troy is lined up right there and Flacco can't call someone to pick up that blitz before he snaps the ball.
Do you get your news from Skip Bayless or do you actually watch football?
Basically what I'm saying is
