Oh hey Ravens fan. How's it going?

I'm kidding, I won't make it worse. Also, he wasn't. Even on the Ravens' official site guys were calling him 'underrated' and dare I say, 'elite'. I'm glad that level headed fans like yourself aren't making the same mistake.

Go check out some of the Ravens message boards right now and tell me that there are people who think Flacco is elite!

Even in the best of times, fans have regarded Flacco as a winner, although not elite as taken to mean a Brady, Manning, etc.

glad to have you - purple camo pants and all - are you here on behalf of your other lackey-Ravens fans?

They sure had the Ravens blowing us out - where are they exactly? That's right - just like most Ravens fans I know - they are out in the parking lot taking the purple flags off the cars as we type . . .

for the 1st time ever - i went over and checked out some of the posts on the Ravens' forum.

They're clearly obsessed with the play where Flacco was upright and the play was blown dead just before he got rid of the ball.
I will say this - and i'm being completely objective here - that exact same play is almost always blown dead - nearly 100% of the time - on any of the 32 teams. No reason to squabble over that call - its ALWAYS called...no matter who you are (except on Brady as he's allowed to get away with murder - seriously).

I was also a little shocked to see the viciousness and the hate being spewn about. As much as we bitch about things around here - we actually got "good people" around here for the most part.
I'm sure there's a few good guys over there too.

i agree, that plays almost always called dead for safety's sake. I can understand them complaining, but they've got to realize it's not going to change anything

i like the ravens fans, a little trash talk is fun sometimes!

some of them that visit this board are classy as well. if everyone liked the same team, it would be boring right?

If that's the call they're complaining about, it's laughable. Harrison had him dead in the flat and stopped when the whistle blew. Guy may have gained 2 or 3 yards instead of losing 4 on the sack, but it's not like he was going to run over James and then pull out his 4.4 speed and sprint to the endzone.

I personally think it was a BS call. Flacco was in the process of throwing it and if the reason for blowing it is to "protect the QB" that wasn't done either because the only thing the whistle did was negate the reception. Flacco still got planted.

Now, that being said, that play had little to nothing to do with us losing. Taking all these insane shots down the field and not moving the ball. Plus thinking that Batch is incapable of hitting a receiver standing by himself 20 yards away also did us in. We were just lucky 88 decided to drop the ball and give us a fumble.

Bad game by the Ravens. Great plan and execution by the Steelers. We'll settle it in January.

I think it may be in the WC game. Looking at the Pats schedule, they have Houston and the 49ers next and then 2 division games. I'd be surprised if they finished better than 11-5.

But Denver has a cupcake schedule. They play the Ravens and 3 teams with a combined 9-27 record. I give the edge to Denver beating the Ravens and taking the 2 seed. I don't think the Ravens D could stop Manning at all, but even if they do, they have a tough schedule remaining.

I think it could easily shake out like this.

1 Texans
2 Denver
3 Ravens
4 Pats
5 Colts
6 Steelers

Uh oh.
I'd honestly rather go to Houston than Denver. Weather not an issue, in Houston, Ryan Clark can't play in Denver, and I think Denver has a better home crowd.

To me, this would be a bad draw for the Ravens having to beat the Steelers then go to Denver.

Lots of football left. We'll see what happens.
