vmax Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 The Ravens have the #1 stingiest defense for points surrendered and the #6 scoring offense.You can go places with that.
cravnravn Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Flacco has better numbers so far then pay a ton manning...lmao
papasmurfbell Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Yet the flacco naysayers are in full forceAnd flacco has what to do with how the D is doing. Oh he does have something to do with it. When he can't keep a drive going against Cincy or Indy the D gasses out in the 2nd half.
varaven45 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 The next 2 games on the road, especially Cincy, will speak volumes about whether Joe has truly turned the corner and can lead this team. I'm pulling for Bazooka Joe
tsylvester Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Flacco has better numbers so far then pay a ton manning...lmao Um, not so fast my friend.... As well as Joe has played, it is not better than Manning, P, who is completing 68.3% of his passes, 2nd best in the NFL, to Flacco's 63.7 %. Manning 19 tds to Flacco's 14, 3 picks for Manning to 5 for Joe... Yes, close, even the yards, 1790 to 1793 for Manning... All this equals a qbr of 117 for Manning to 97 for Joe.... Still very good numbers and shows how good, again, Joe can be and is, with a decent offensive line... They are not on par with Denver in pass protection, dispite the fact both have been sacked 8 times, but then Joe doesn't have the weapons of Manning. VA, I think it will tell more about the offensive line & receivers more so than Joe. As we saw with Manning in the Super Bowl, even with the best weapons, if the line can't block nor the receivers get open, who is throwing the ball matters not....
varaven45 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 T, I agree the OL is the key - it's always the key.No OL = no run = no pass = no win. My comment assumes - with guarded optimism - that we have an established OL. However, given the roller coaster performance of our OL the past 2 years, I too am inclined to take a wait and see approach. Until then, here's hoping for a monster game from the OL, running game and Joe
vmax Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 For 17 straight games no single RB has had a 100 yard game against the Ravens. And..... So far this season, opponents are averaging 3.7 yards per carry against the Ravens. If that number stays below 4 yards per attempt through the end of the regular campaign, it will mark an NFL-record 19 consecutive years -- the franchise's entire history -- that teams haven't gained more than 4 yards per carry on Baltimore. http://www.pressboxonline.com/2014/10/20/ravens-run-stuffers-are-building-yet-another-streak
