On a day when a Baltimore defense inundated with injury was able to give Peyton Manning everything he could handle and more, the Ravens offense did not show up like the cavalry they were supposed to be. In fact, Flacco and company gave points away to Denver. It was a disgraceful performance. It wasn't all on Joe Flacco, although Joe admitted after the game the pick-6 he threw to Chris Harris was supposed to be a fade route which instead he changed to a shallow slant. Joe told the media he should have just thrown that ball away. Too bad---that mistake changed the entire momentum of the game in favor of Denver. There were tons of other mistakes to go around. Dropped passes---I sound like a broken record on this, but Flacco's receivers must lead the league in drops. Terrible blocking abounded, too. Bobbie Williams tried his best to fill in for Marshal Yanda at right guard, but Denver went through him like a turnstile. The result was not only Flacco getting beaten to the...

Is #Flaccoing About to Catch on Fire??

Via Backyard Sports Blog  |  December 18, 2012
So Joe Flacco is basically a fluke at this point right?  Only hardcore delusional Ravens fans would tell you otherwise.   The real question here is, will this be bigger than Tebowing??  #Flaccoing is way easier to do and people love to give guys a hard time in the NFL when they are struggling.  It's as easy as taking a nap too, which is basically what this guy does during...

Flacco shoulders blame for Ravens' 3-game slide

Via AP on Fox  |  December 19, 2012
Joe Flacco has lost three fumbles and thrown three interceptions in his last three games, each of which the Baltimore Ravens lost. Flacco understands that an NFL quarterback often receives an inordinate amount of criticism in defeat and perhaps too much credit for a victory. And he's OK with it. Asked how much blame he deserves for Baltimore's current skid, Flacco replies...

Via Tireball.com  |  December 16, 2012
Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco threw an interception that was returned for a 98 yard touchdown in today’s game against the Denver Broncos.

Denver Broncos, an emerging powerhouse

Via The Penalty Flag  |  December 17, 2012
Yesterday, I watched in awe as the Denver Broncos dismantled the Baltimore Ravens 34-17 in Baltimore. And the game wasn’t as close as the score would indicate. With their ninth straight victory, this one against one of the best AFC teams, the Broncos are becoming an NFL powerhouse. The Broncos dominated the first half building a 10-0 lead. It was only because of the exceptional...

Indy hoping to make most of 2nd chance at playoffs

Via AP on Fox  |  December 19, 2012
The Indianapolis Colts don't want to let another chance to wrap up a playoff spot slip away. Indy (9-5) can earn its first playoff berth of the post-Peyton Manning era with a win Sunday at Kansas City or a Steelers loss to Cincinnati. The Colts want to take care of business themselves after a sub-par performance at Houston. The Colts are 8-3 since Bruce Arians took over as...

Via NESN.com  |  December 17, 2012
With the NFL entering its final two weeks, the MVP race is coming into clear focus. Most of the attention right now is on the ever-present duo of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, with Adrian Peterson running in third place. So which one do you think should take home the hardware?

Bill Belichick Made Right Decision to Go for It on Fourth-and-Short, No Matter How Badly Patriots Executed

Via NESN.com  |  December 17, 2012
You’d think it was Peyton Manning and the Colts out there with the season on the line. It wasn’t. It was the 49ers in a late-season slugfest, in a game the Patriots had no business winning but had somehow fought their way back into. So why are people upset that Bill Belichick went for it on 4th-and-1? The 4th-and-1 in the final minutes of the Patriots’ loss to the 49ers on...

Who Says the MVP is Reserved for Quarterbacks?

Via The Sports Headquarters  |  December 18, 2012
Peyton Manning. Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers. All of these quarterbacks have claimed MVP awards since the last running back – LaDainian Tomlinson – took home the honor in 2006. In what is largely considered a passing league, is 2012 the year this streak ends? Through 15 weeks of the season I am inclined to say yes. Because truly no player has been as valuable as Minnesota Vikings’...
