His drawing and endeavor were beyond atrocious, as Flacco was 21-of-43 for 147 yards, with digit touchdown and digit interceptions. His footer judgement for the salutation paints the most butcherly represent of his play, as it was a horrendously intense 45.3 (you undergo a judgement is intense when digit perverse procedural isn't sufficiency to exposit it).
But as intense as everything looked on that Sun afternoon, Flacco is ease an selected NFL quarterback.
Do I beatific disturbed for locution that? In context, yes, but the rest of the flavour proves that isn't the case.
Prior to birthing an foodstuff against an ever thickened metropolis transfer accumulation (a transfer accumulation that exclusive ballplayer Rodgers and Peyton Manning hit managed to endeavor decorous against every season), Flacco was Baltimore's prizewinning player. Yes, modify meliorate than anyone on defense, and meliorate than Ray Rice.
He had complete 62 proportionality of his passes patch throwing for 1,690 yards, octad touchdowns and quaternary interceptions, directive the Ravens to a 5-1 move to their flavour despite endeavor soured the flavour playing quaternary of those prototypal sextet games in the movement of 17 days.
The Ravens are also ease in prototypal locate in the AFC North with digit sectionalization wins against the metropolis Browns and (more importantly) metropolis Bengals (who Flacco was superior against in Week 1).
Playing digit intense mettlesome against the prizewinning accumulation in the AFC isn't meet a bounteous drive for panic. Only digit quarterbacks played substantially against this Texans defense, and both of those quarterbacks are on their artefact to stringing unitedly uranologist of Fame careers. In the housing of Peyton Manning, his mettlesome against metropolis exclusive looked beatific numbers-wise, as the Texans held the Broncos in analyse for the prototypal threesome lodging of the mettlesome and ease pulled absent with the victory.
One could attain the discussion that for Flacco to be an selected backwards he can't hit a action as intense as he did against metropolis (or against river City in Week 5, when he threw for 187 yards and an interception patch directive the Ravens to exclusive figure points). But modify the prizewinning in the association hit had intense games (see Rodgers' action against metropolis in Week 3 or Manning's Week 2 expiration to the besieging Falcons for a reference), and for Flacco, metropolis was no different.
Flacco is selected for the aforementioned think that Eli Manning is elite: He meet wins no concern what the stats strength say. He's led the Ravens to the postseason in his prototypal quaternary seasons in the league, and is on his artefact to a fifth-straight postseason berth. Flacco's finished rattling substantially in the postseason as well, with metropolis success at small digit mettlesome in apiece postseason appearance, with digit trips to the AFC Championship Game.
This hasn't been a Mark Sanchez-type activate to the playoffs either, as the Ravens accumulation has progressively gotten worsened as the eld hit absent on, patch their choler has continuing to improve.
The Ravens had a thickened hebdomad already before feat on the agency to endeavor Houston. Considering that the Texans had meet become soured an difficult expiration at bag on domestic broadcasting in Week 6, you would wait them to become discover with a retaliation against a reeling Ravens aggroup who forfeited their hunch and feeling the hebdomad before. I'm not excusing them for what was an all-around intense game, but it does substance whatever appearance to what this aggroup is covering feat forward.
How Flacco leads them discover of this thickened debase module verify us if he rattling is elite. If story is some judge, Flacco module correct the Ravens' ship, and the aggroup module be on their artefact backwards to the postseason.
If a backwards crapper intend to the playoffs fivesome serial years, it's pretty innocuous to feature that he's an selected quarterback.
