Flacco says the Ravens are the best team in the AFC

Behind the Fu Manchu is a confident Joe Flacco. The Ravens quarterback has led his team to a division leading 8-3 record despite falling to the Titans, Seahawks and Jaguars. Though many would admit that the Ravens have fallen flat against some of the NFL’s lower tier opponents, Flacco isn’t about to give in.

“To say we’ve had an up-and-down season, I don’t think that’s correct,” Flacco told the media on Thursday. Though I disagree, I’m happy to see Flacco display such confidence in his team.

“We’re 8-3,” Flacco said. “There is nobody better than us in the AFC right now.

The Ravens have proven they can beat good teams, now they need to break their trend of falling asleep against teams they should beat. They have a chance to do just that against the Browns in Cleveland this weekend.

The Ravens either have the best PR staff in the league or the worst, depending on your perspective. This is the latest example of the PR staff saying “Look Joe, fans and media are questioning your leadership…step out and defend your team, show them you care”. It’s the same thing they did with Harbaugh…”Look, John, you’ve been to the playoffs 3 straight seasons, yet your wet-sock personality and Buzz Lightyear diction drive have of the fans in this town crazy”. So now we see an “Al Gore-like” Harbaugh waving towels, trying to bee bop to Seven Nation Army, bottom line, trying to be less of complete personality-less ass.

Their PR staff’s direction is pretty obvious to me and I won’t be fooled, but the great majority of the unwashed mob will cowtail along with it and be none the wiser.

They’re either the best in the business or the worst…you decide.

The Ravens ARE the best team in the AFC! Just because they let their guard down against lesser teams doesn’t mean they are a bad team. Look what they did to all of the top teams they played this year. That right there speaks for it’s self. If you look how those three teams played, they didn’t look like sub par teams, they played like champs for the most part. They knew they had to bring their A game and they did. The Ravens where caught with their pants down. Look at some of the other teams with upsets or those that were close to upsets like the Vikings Green Bay game. That was C. Ponders very first NFL game and he came close to the upset of the year 33-27. They won by 2 field goals. This is the NFL, any team can win on any given Sunday.

What will be even better will be to see Flacco choke on those words and in the game, should they face the steelers again.
