Flacco outdoes Brady again

Found January 21, 2013 on Patriots Life: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Joe Flacco,  Ray Lewis
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens
Yesterday I posted on the subject of whether or not Joe Flacco could yet again outplay Brady in the AFC Championship game, as he did last year, despite the fact the Ravens lost. I hoped to today be posting on how he did not, and how Brady demonstrated why he is in the discussion as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Unfortunately, yesterday's game showed quite the opposite, and further added to the growing pile of evidence suggesting Brady does not play well on the biggest stage, and has not since he went undefeated in his first 10 post season games, racking up three Super Bowls during the stretch. Since those first ten wins, Brady is now 7 and 7, including 2 devastating Super Bowl losses to Eli and the Giants, a shocking divisional round loss to the Jets where Brady was outplayed by Buttfumble Sanchez, and two losses to Flacco and the Ravens,the latest being last nights fiasco. Brady didn't lose the Patriots the game last night, but he didn't do enough to w...

There's no denying Flacco's results

Via Fox Sports  |  January 21, 2013
Many people, myself included, scoffed at Joe Flacco when he suggested he was not only a top-five quarterback in the NFL, but the best overall. Well, he definitely isn't the best, and he still isn't in my top five, but it is about time he gets the recognition he deserves. Since entering the league in 2008, Joe Flacco has not just made the playoffs every season, but he has...

Flacco should get what he asks for

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  January 21, 2013
Joe Flacco is playing out his rookie contract and is expected to be franchised this offseason. The question remains what will Flacco get from the Ravens? I wrote this a while ago, and I still believe it, the Ravens and Flacco will strike a seven-year, $100 million contract. It’s logical to give Flacco this kind of contract now. He has reached the Super Bowl and holds the record...

FOXBORO, Mass. — Tom Brady has long been viewed as an elite quarterback. Even Ray Lewis referred to Brady as “one of the greatest quarterback in NFL history,” after Sunday’s AFC Championship win.

The unusual case for why the Ravens will win Super Bowl XVII

Via The Penalty Flag  |  January 22, 2013
This is going to seem a little odd to determine Joe Flacco, Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens will win Super Bowl XVII, because the San Francisco 49ers had the most Pro Bowl selections in 2012. However the history of teams that led their conferences in Pro Bowl selections does not bode well for the 49ers chances at winning the Super Bowl. From 2001-2011, only two teams from the...
