I’m tired of Flacco not getting the credit he deserves he is a great quarterback! It will be a great game Patriots and Ravens can’t wait.

Gonna be a tough game next week. Its hard to pick a favorite. The Ravens somehow have god on the team and the Patriots only have Brady

If you’re a Ravens fan, how could one not be whacko for Flacco at this point?

He showed us something Saturday. Now let’s see how they do against the Evil Hoodie and his minions.

Go Ravens!

Custer was a General too. Let’s not get carried away. He threw a few good deep balls and at least one of them should have been picked off.

====================================

Custer was a lieutenant colonel, not a general. But thats not the point here. Flacco has won more games than anyone other QB up to this point in his career. If you think the defense gets the credit, why didn’t Boller win games?

Joe has conquered the steelers, beating them at home, and winning the AFC North 2 rows in a row.. He just finished off Manning. Now it’s on to brady. What more does he have to do?

Personally, I love it. Flacco’s fluke TD will now get him the big contract extension, and the 10 more years I PRAY he spends in Baltimore, and continues the mediocrity. So yes, pay Joe, he’s uh, “truly elite” and you MUST keep him in Baltimore!

Thank you Denver defense, for being so stupid.

PLEASE finish your career in Crabtown, Mr. Flacco. You’re the QB the town deserves!

hey troysmithsghost. why dont you try posting something football related instead of spouting off the same old lies that just show your ignorance of a topic that is completely unrelated to the thread. the whole ray lewis is a murderer was not even pursued in atlanta…if they really thought he killed 2 men maybe they would have pursued it more. but atlanta da charged ray with his crime..obstructing justice. ray paid his restitution..case closed. as steeler ryan clark tweeted…people who live in glass houses…and that was about ben and ray. fan bases should concentrate on football…every team has players who have at some point commited criminal acts.

Flacco could have had 2 more touchdowns to Torrey Smith.

Imagine if he did. It would have been an absolute blowout!

Are you kidding me scooby doo? Nofool is no true football fan. Read any one of his posts prior to the ravens actually pulling out a win (moment for him to eat crow) and you will see his true colors. Thank you, goodbye nofool. Your team is on the couch watching the true AFCN champs represent, playing in the AFC Championship. Hate on, Ive seen your posts, I know your type.

Peyton admitted in the press conference it WAS a fumble. The first pick was a close call but in real speed it should not have been called. In slow speed it was closer, but I think it was called correctly. There were two hands to the face penalties against the Ravens that were inaccurate as well as a glancing face mask that Deirdorf called Ticky-Tack. There was also a Holding call against the Ravens where Williams had his hand on the receiver but did nothing to change his route or turn him at all. This touching goes on every play. For anyone to blame to loss on the Refs is not very football intelligent. Calls are part of the game. I think coaching was the difference. The broncos continued to play man coverage and bring the safeties up. On the Hail Mary they should have been in a full prevent with what some teams are calling the “Dollar” package (more than the dime) If you have a hall of fame QB and 30 seconds and three timeouts and one need 30-40 yards for a field goal – take a chance. They could have run 6 plays. Ravens responded better to game conditions an simply deserved the win

So, let me get this straight….Ravens fans are the crybabies. Look in the mirror steelersblowyou.

steelersownyou — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 20:32:58 +0000

blah blah blah youll be on the couch after next week. just like the steelers and their fans. but hey at least you won the afcn and made it to the afc championship again right? exactly…you count afcn titles and 5 years straight in the playoffs. wow steeler nation is so unimpressed. to you ratbird fans that’s awesome to steeler fans that’s failure. that’s the difference. and us steeler fans don’t get upset when we don’t make the playoffs. this sint a new thing to us. every few years we miss the playoffs. 07, 09, 12…when were in it we usually win or get to the big dance…now you ravens..not so much!!!!

Nofoolnodrool — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 20:28:31 +0000

I am not sure why anyone is talking about stupid fans of either team as the steelers have “steelers own you” and the ravens have “ravenator,randalflagg, and ravenmuscle” . The thread is about the improved play of Joe the general Flacco so let’s stay on that if we can. Real steeler fans really don’t care what the ravens do unless it impacts the steelers and unfortunately this year that is all done.

By: scoobies05

scoobies05 — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 20:15:23 +0000

insufferable classless fan base? this coming from a disappointed steeler fan who cant accept the fact that the steelers didnt make it this year. how come ben runs around for 10 minutes and chucks one up that gets caught he is elite but when flacco does it its lucky. and yeah…charlie batch beat the ravens…thats a fact. just like you dont get to watch your team til next year and the ravens are going to the afc championship. the steelers have many great fans…you arent one of them

Flacco came through when he had to and inspired his team to victory; what else does he have to do?

By: steelersownyou

steelersownyou — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 19:29:50 +0000

If I was the patriots I would rest Brady next week in the AFC championship. We’ll let you borrow Charlie batch. He’ll take care of that scrub team for you. Like he did 6 weeks ago. Save Brady for the super bowl. Ravens gotucky. Pick 6 on a pass interference not called. Tuck rule fumble. Botched call. They need help from the refs every game. Crybaby fans, coach and team. A complete classless organization from the top down.. I hope they don’t fluke and win it all. They will be more insufferable than that unintelligent fanbase already is!!!

By: ampatsisahypocrite

ampatsisahypocrite — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 19:24:23 +0000

Oh come ON! Flacco’s fluke TD was nothing more than the stupidity of Denver not dropping back the entire defense in coverage. You’re telling me any prevent defense allows a receiver to get behind them? That’s not QB skill, that’s defensive stupidity.

All Denver had to do was drop 8 guys back, wait for the deep ball, pick it off or knock it down, and we’re talking about how Flacco didn’t even make the AFC Championship again. ANYONE who claims this was QB skill simply is clueless. Apparently that describes a lot of you.

That guy on TV who calls him “Fluke-o” pretty much has it pegged right.

mlbbal52 — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:42:40 +0000

I like the comment where the guy made excuses for the Broncos…
First off the first pick was not a PI both Player were there at the same time…be mad at Decker for not catching it. Second the Tuck rule was not even in play on Mannings fumble because McPhee touched his arm and the ball came loose on the forward motion…you must be an idiot…question whats your excuse for the last pick in OT that cost the Broncos the game??? Oh an “fake” steeler fans on hear talking crap thats right you are “fake” you want the ravens to lose you need the ravens to loose so you can feel better about yourselves…misery loves company…respect to REAL steeler fans.

A nice piece here, finally people are seeing the light on joe. However, he must win a Super Bowl to be truly ‘elite’

By: johntonioholmes

johntonioholmes — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 17:52:51 +0000

Hey Flacco made some big time plays but I’m a little surprised tat defense didn’t, you know, adjust.

Champ Bailey had no business sungling up against Smith in the first half–it cost them two scores.

And any team that understands how to play three deep doesn’t let that last pass happen.

And while I don’t want to take anything away from the Ravens, that first pick 6 should have been p.i. It ended up being the final factor in the game that allowed the Ravens to tie.

to realfootballfan..hear hear….i couldnt agree more. wins and losses matter…not madden stats. joe is good and getting better.

I think you have to give this kid his due. He led the Ravens to victories over the Colts and a Peyton Manning led Broncos team. Two big emotional wins for Baltimore fans. I think it was cathartic for them.

And now he and the Ravens have a potential rematch in Foxboro looming for a trip to the big game. Flacco had better numbers than Brady did in the AFCCG last year. In fact, the Ravens were the better team. If Sterling Moore doesn’t knock that ball away or Cundiff hits that chip shot, we are talking about a completely different history.

That being said, go Patriots, beat the Texans and make the rematch happen. Bring it!

The Raiders won championships in 1976, 1980, and 1983. That is over and in the past. When are Steeler fans going to stop living on their past and focus on their present. You should be focusing on losses to poor Oakland, Tennessee, and Cleveland teams. I would aso look at an overweight Big Ben’s penchant for throwing late game picks. Focus on the now. Right now you are a sub par to middle of the road franchise. I know the Ravens are your rival but give credit where credit is do.

6 0 Focusing on the now I realize how little you know about football outside of your chosen team. I give the ravens plenty of credit but the not pseudo experts such as yourself.

Maybe now, Raven fans will get off this guy. If your goal is to win the Super Bowl, what do you prefer unreal 115 ratings when it doesn’t count or a guy who performs in the clutch like Joe did last night?

Flacco’s delivered time and again from his rookie year on, and why he doesn’t get respect just because his “numbers” aren’t spectacular is beyond stupid. Most teams would pray to be in the playoffs 5 straight years with a QB coming into the league and in the third straight AFC championship game.

If not for a receiver dropping a tD and then the kicker missing the kick, I’m pretty sure he’d be a Super Bowl defending QB right now because what happened to the Giants week 16 in Baltimore would have been what happened had that been the matchup instead of the Patriots last January.

And before anyone says the defense carried him there most years, how’d the Kyle Boller years go? He’s a good QB who’s clutch, something I’d trade all day over Tecmo Bowl stats.

Flacco threw a perfect strike that should have gotten the Ravens to the SB last year, but it was dropped. This year he throws a Hail Mary that is miss played by the bronco safety and now he’s “elite”? Hmmm….

Good!!! Now the media should treat Flacco the same way!!!

Tony Romo, Josh Freeman, and Sam Bradford are lost causes!!!
