Ravens: MNF guys call out Joe
Seemed like everybody on the ESPN pregame show was talking about what Joe Flacco needs to do to become a great quarterback. I'm not saying he's Aaron Rodgers, but what does the guy have to do to get some national respect.
Flacco has taken the Ravens into the playoffs all three of his previous seasons. He took them to the AFC title game as a rookie. He has won four playoff games on the road. He has won more road games than any other NFL quarterback over the past three-plus years. In other words, he just wins.
There have been some times when it hasn't been pretty, but the end justifies the means. Just ask everybody gushing about Tim Tebow after yesterday's game in which he played terrible until the last few minutes of regulation.
Instant update: So far, Flacco isn't exactly lighting it up. The Ravens are 12 minutes into the first quarter and still don't have a first down.

Cameron must go. This gameplan is beyond pitiful.

Brilliant post. Zero first downs through 40 mins, and still no points on the board.
Contrary to your post, joe flacco hasn't "taken" this team anywhere, he has just been along for the ride. He needs to stop believing his own press and start earning that next contract.
Now Reed is down. Out on the field too long trying too hard because yet again the offense can't deliver. I have never called for Cameron's job before, but this is ridiculous.

umm... putting points on the jags might be a start.

And exactly "where" has Flacco "taken" this team? He's the anti-leader who's protected by the lockerroom leadership-code of Ray Lewis. Once Ray's gone... Joe will be gone... probably Harbaugh too. Uggg... I hate Roethlisberger and Tomlin but theyve proven their worth and we have 2 guys that just talk about their worth.
