I didn't bring it up. And no, he STILL is not better.

Flacco is a BUM man! Plain and simple! No amount of excuses can keep justifying this dudes declining and piss poor game play.

Yeah we looked bad in that game and guess what? A coordinator was fired. However, as bad as we looked it was not a total meltdown like against the Jags. The stats back that up.

He's also inexplicable. He could go out next week and play great.
Totally different blocking scheme this year. Yanda has no comparison period. ANYWHERE. If I am understanding you right Stanley must not be the saving grace everyone thinks he is.

He "could" but "will" he?
Because to me, at this point, and after seeing this BUM for 10 years now....he could also go out there and keep being Flacco.
I'll see firsthand cause I'm attending Sundays game vs the Steelers. Hopefully, the RAVENS can get the job done.
First it's not like Yanda has never been in a power scheme. We haven't always been a ZBS team. Stanley is a 2nd year player and although it always helps having a good player next to you so you don't have to help that player out, which does happen all the time, the OL is a chain, if one isn't doing well it tends to bring down the rest. The only player that didn't have a complete failure on the OL this week was Jensen. Everyone else was a complete bust.

Can’t Take Issue With Jaguars Running up Score
The Ravens who spoke on the podium after the game didn’t indicate that they were upset with Jacksonville for piling it on, running a fake punt with a 37-point lead in the fourth quarter. The surprise call produced a big gainer that set up a touchdown that increased the margin to 44 points, and I’m sure some fans and possibly some in the Ravens’ locker room are upset. But this is pro football, not high school. I always go back to how Joe Gibbs, a Hall of Fame coach, reacted when Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots ran up the score similarly on the Washington Redskins in a 2007 blowout. “I have no problems with any of it,” Gibbs said. He went on to explain that what really bothered him was his team played so poorly it was in position to have such indignities heaped on it. Bingo. That’s the story.
^ This isn't college ball. If our defense/special teams can't stop a cold, then run the score up on their asses!

Just a guess but I'd say the entire team comes out with a fire lit under them.
in Joe's case and with our offensive struggles generally, I'd say this will amount to three or four drives resulting in Justin Tucker field goals accompanied by one touchdown.
I doubt Joe stinks it up thoroughly.
One would hope for more than that your franchise player won't, "stink it up thoroughly" but it appears as if that is about where we are.

It's where we've always been with this dude.
My reality @Edgar is that I've never trusted or believed in Flacco from day one. And, neither has my mind changed about him after 10 years of watching and witnessing his performances over the years. Sure, thanks for the Super Bowl run in 2012 Joe the reality is that I can also thank Boldin, Rice, Pitta, Torrey, Jacoby, Ray, Ed, Webb, Suggs, Ngata, and Jimmy Smith etc. It wasn't just Joe that produced that SB. But other than that what else has Joe done for us to celebrate him?
We keep having the same ole conversations about him year after year after year for 10 seasons now. Let's just cut to the chase-He is trash! He has "moments" or "flashes" of being a good QB. But after 10 years.....10 years of being the "starting" QB for the Ravens....should he still be having "moments" or "flashes" of being a good QB or....SHOULD HE BE....a good QB and a damn good one by now?

I think Stanley is suffering from a few factors. I think he needs to get into the mix and getting hurt could be affecting him and he could be playing through it. He could also be suffering from losing a HoF G next to him like he had for a lot of last year. He could also be suffering from also having a sophomore slump. It’s also possible he is getting exposed due to not having Yanda. Take the scheme tweak into account, because we ran power last year just not a lot, and that’s also another possibility. I know I certainly don’t have the answer why only theories and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a combination of all the above and more. It’s his second year and he’s a high first round pick so we have to hope he’ll rebound regardless.
Yeah. Maybe he’s having bad games or maybe it’s mpre or it could be any number of different reasons. I’m a hard to say what’s wrong unless you’re actually on the team and know everyone’s job and role.

lol.....That's a completely inverse statement. College(and also high school to an extent) football rankings are often refined/gauged by point differential so it could be very helpful for a college/high school team to run up a score. And of course it means less than nothing in pro football. You don't get more Ws or a higher "ranking" for a greater point differential. I guarantee that any intelligent professional coach is not running up the score against a division opponent that they know they will face again in the same year or following year. That would be dumber than dumb. lol And yes, no matter what is said you better believe most professional players/coaches think it's a classless move.
edit......Just noticed this is in the General Front 7 thread?

I try not to trash Joe because we could do a lot worse, see: Kyle Boller, but Joe has been playing poorly and living off his fluke SB run for 5 years now.

Wrong thread but the right information. Sue me @Tank.
My statement was in response to our Ravens players who like me, also saw no problem with the Jags attempting to "run up" the score with that bit of "trickeration" that they pulled. In the context of college ball running up the score whether it be for rankings or not is more frowned upon. Kind of like an unwritten rule or law. A common courtesy or respect if you would. However, this is the NFL man! You know, where grown ass men play! The only coaches that truly may have problems with the score getting ran up are those who are getting it run up on. If they don't like it-stop it!
