Ravens, Flacco specifically, really helped to give that game away. The Broncos offense looks good, but the defense may have some issues.

 

(Edit)

 

Flacco looked terrible. He was lazy with his throws, not setting his feet and just generally not playing good football.

 

Flacco deserves some blame, but the Ravens D was terrible. And Harbough not trusting his guy to challenge that Welker catch (which totally flipped the game) didn't help.

Ravens defense was fine for a good portion of the game. The problem was due to the offensive inconsistency they were forced to stay on the field far to long. Flacco just destroyed them that game. I dont know if its the big paycheck or what, but the guy was just not focused and playing terrible.

 

The interception that should have been returned for a td was pathetically predictable. He wasnt setting his feet, he was throwing across his body, etc etc. Thats not what you expect out of a 100 million dollar man.

 

 

Joe Flacco - biggest contract in NFL history

Earl Bennett agreed to a $1 million pay cut with the Bears, slashing his 2013 base salary from $2.25 million to $1.25 million.

 

The rest of Bennett's contract was untouched. He's still signed through 2015, though this could easily be his last season in Chicago. Bennett is no higher than the No. 4 or 5 option in the passing game as the slot receiver.

Remember when Earl Bennett was the Bears' number one receiver? LOL

Giving up 49 points isn't "fine" in my book. Attribute 2 TD's to Flacco and they still gave up 35 points. That's way too much.

Well they were fine for a good portion of the game. They gave up 14 points in the first half, so for half the game they were fine. Then in the second half they for no reason began to blitz Manning. Although I guess the potential reason is that due to the offense ineptitude they believed that the defense would have to make bigger plays.

Not getting the Bears game here, but I see that the defensive turnover machine is well-oiled.

What a catch by Green. Really good coverage

Steelers up 2-0

Jets up 2-0

Chiefs down 7-2

 

I think teams misunderstood when the NFL announced they were emphasizing safety this year.

Nice strip by Jennings, but he's should have know Green didn't have the ball anymore. He was looking right at him the whole time.

Sunday Ticket just crapped out...that's just great.

Tillman!

So what did Suh do now?

Peanut's on fire.
