The continuing education of Joe Flacco
If you've been reading The Sun the past few days, you know that I picked the Ravens to win today's game in Cincinnati, 30-10, so you know I'm not going to suddenly wax pessimistic now. But I will point out that there is only one way the Ravens lose this game, and that is if Joe Flacco (left) fails to take care of the ball.
Flacco has had his erratic moments this year, but he has matured rapidly and he quickly overcame an early season rash of turnovers (six interceptions in his first five games, just the two against the Giants since). He still makes the occasional bad read -- and has flirted with disaster a couple of times in the past few weeks -- but he's as steady as you could expect a young quarterback to be at this point in his career.
Still, stuff happens, so I agree with my colleague Jamison Hensley that Cam Cameron will reduce the variables today and depend heavily on his three-headed running game to get this week's must-win game into the left column.

Ummm,
Was not exactly what I would call a "Conservatively" called game. Although my hind sight is blinding me :-) I would have agreed actually with your assessment pre-game.

Pete's reply: I was dead wrong on that, and was certainly surprised at the wide-open gameplan. It certainly shows confidence in Flacco, who has earned it.

To see a QB stand in there against the blitz and make the big throws down field is just amazing to see. I was trying to explain to a friend from Vegas that we just aren't used to this kind of performance from the QB in this city after he told me Flaccos numbers are nothing to brag about. You have to see him play to understand how good he's been and to think about how good he could possibly be in a couple years.
