Joe Flacco

well you and ravenmadness have certainly morphed the contention from "you can't hit the head with the shoulder" to "you can't intentionally try to injure a player / can't hit a defenseless player."

anyway I know you know football tank. the hoyer hit for example was shoulder to head with no flag. pretty much puts it all to rest.

the defenseless player rule was put into effect for a couple situatiojns, like a wide receiver with his back turned to a guy like jack tatum barreling in full bore on an overthrown ball and lining a guy up with no chance to evade the blow.

now regarding the qb the defensive player / qb rule applies to a qb so engrossed looking downfield he can't avoid a head or knee shot. in that case you certainly can't lay a shoulder to the head of a concentrating qb in the pocket.

those are the rules.

however, (listen close ravenrabies), when a qb becomes a runner and is charging the mark to gain, all rules are off and the only thing to protect him is a timely slide. but when he pushes it too far he loses the benefit of the doubt and WHAM. concussion protocol baby!

for those that still want to argue that joejoe slid in time, its the same bunch that think he's sharp in the pocket to. Every see brady obliterated like that? no cuz he and Rodgers have the awareness to pull up. joe don't. anyways the baseball fans here will certainly know a proper and timely slide takes the head out of harms way.

To compensate for that Bears loss, we need to beat a great team at their place that we all had concluded was a W. But, again that would have to be for the Jags as well. So two away wins against 2 really good teams will kind of nullify the Bears and Jags losses. I say it is Greenbay and Steelers in Heinz Field. Then we'll be fine.

Most of us have us losing to the Texans so that could be a good one as well, especially since they are a.m. afc team.

I was just gonna say, the AFC Wild Card this season is wildly (pun intended) competitive and we're right in the thick of it. It's possible that the Steelers could go 13-3 or 12-4 based on their schedule so I see no way we can come back to win the division (fuck you offense). EVERY AFC game, including the Browns and Colts, are gonna be crazy important for tiebreaker purposes. We can't afford to lose to another AFC team if we truly want a Wild Card spot.

Playoffs everyone. Love the positivity, but last week we were talking about getting rid of everyone and starting over. We had a terrific game against a team with a good defense but bad offense. Let’s take it one game at a time and be realistic.

Said in the game thread that the fins game will give me no hope and shouldn't be used as a sign of things to come. Foe whatever reason we always seem to match up well against them.

I think we should wait before we jump back on the bandwagon. I pointed this out last week but the schedule is very favorable. Very winnable games ahead of us but with that said, it wouldn't surprise me to see us screw things up.

Very true, should have known better than predict against us, especially since it was a Thursday home game. Believe the stats favor home teams pretty favorably.

Even when we were losing, I wasn't part of the "clean house" bandwagon. We were/still are in the thick of a competitive conference for two playoff spots. What aggravates me the most this season is that as I look at the rest of the schedule, every game, with the exceptions of the Steelers game, is winnable, but leave it to our team to disappoint us more than they should.

Until it's basically mathematically impossible to clinch a playoff spot, I'm going to still believe in them and hope we get as much luck as inhumanly possible. Like Tank, I'm not part of that "we" crowd, but I get what you're saying though. That being said, I still believe we lose to the Titans as Murray and Henry will be first-ballot Hall of Famers after they're done with us.

lol And after Oakland everyone was shitting rainbows too. One great performance against a piss poor team that gave them crazy motivation to bury them does NOT mean all the issues have magically disappeared nor that our coordinators are magically great. Sorry. The issues are still there and we'll be exactly what we are until they are addressed. Up and down, good and God awful, always potentially in the post season but ultimately also rans.

Yup. I'll believe it when I see it.

As I’ve said before. It’s never as good or as bad as it seems.
 
At this point, guys, ignore RayRayRaven or what ever the name is. It's clear he's not up for reasonable discussion because he openly condoned head hunting. I'm just going to ask you all to flat out ignore him because it appears he is trying very hard to troll, which would be nothing new.
 
Has anyone seen that arrogant monster Skip Bayless say the Flacco hit shouldn't even be flagged ? He takes his hate for the man way too far, he is just a troll, that's all he is
