Hall of Famer
Listen, I'm definitely proud of how our defense stood up today! And, I am glad that the offense was able to at least put up 2 TD's but I really disliked that run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run b.s. that they pulled in that game. With Wallace, Maclin and Perriman, I wanted to see the offense open up and be more aggressive.
Perhaps it was done to protect Flacco being that it was his first game back and they wanted to lessen the amount of contact he'd receive? I get it! I'm just wondering, why they may have felt a need to do that since he didn't practice or play in preseason? He should be fine. Right? Unless, there is something more going on with his back than being reported? Just curious...
Joe took some massive hits and kept on ticking. While his health in general may be a concern(no one wants their QB to be pummeled) it looks like his back is a non issue. And it was the first time all 11 of those guys played together, we shouldn't expect mid season form from an offense with exactly zero experience together as a group. Given the hand they were dealt they played smart, winning football.
