Despite the final score, Joe Flacco was the better quarterback in the AFC Champion on Sunday. I don’t care that Tom Brady hoisted the Lamar Hunt trophy with Patriots owner Robert Kraft in that same blue shirt and pink tie that he wears every time I see him on TV. (Seriously the guy is worth a billion dollars and he wears the same freaking thing to every Patriots game.)
As I mentioned in my Quick Hits post, statistically Joe Flacco outperformed wonderboy Tom Brady, but he came up short in the end thanks in part to a dropped pass by Lee Evans and a shank by Billy Cundiff.
Flacco begged for more love from the media during the postseason. He told them that he didn’t get the credit he deserved and when the Texans kept him quiet last week, Ed Reed publicly said that he had to perform better in New England.
After the game Flacco’s teammates addressed his performance. Bernard Pollard told Dan Kolko of MASNSports.com that Flacco “played his butt off.”
“For everyone that keeps dogging him, shut up.”
Just to be clear, does that include Ed Reed?
Good job Joe,,,,now step up ozzie and give the man a contract…………
Spy, I truly do hope that Ozzie Newsome gives Joe Flacco a nice fat contract. I would love to see him lock up a ton of money for an average QB and doom his team to another 5+ years of playoff berths and failure to reach the big game. Unless the 2000 Ravens defense suddenly reappears, Baltimore will never win a Super Bowl with Joe Flacco at quarterback.
Adam , Flacco is not the problem , the present coaching staff is the main problem,,,,in case you didn’t notice Flacco out passed Brady and still lost the game , why you ask , because of less then desirable coaching,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Stover would have made that F’ING kick! Cundiff, you SOB!
Ah, Ed Reed…
What a genius he is.
I am very happy to read this. This is the kind of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that is at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.
