Joe Flacco and the Ravens offense will have to step up today when they face the defense of the Houston Texans today. The Baltimore Ravens will have to do it without the help of Ray Rice as he is still recovering from a hip injury. With Anquan Boldin gone and Dennis Pitta out because of injury, the Ravens offense has struggled and are not putting up the kind of numbers that they did during their Superbowl run.
Joe Flacoo is now one the top highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL and he will have to prove he can lead the offense in spite of all the injuries. If Ed Reed does play today, hopefully Joe Flacco won’t throw him a pick six.

Ed Reed Comments on Joe Flacco
The story of the day is about Ed Reed’s comments that he made on SiriusXM NFL Radio about Joe Flacco. Personally, I think the media took Ed Reed’s comments and blew them out of proportion. I’ve listened to fans call in to radio talk shows upset by the comments. Some of these same fans acting upset probably have made more harsh criticisms of Joe Flacco in the past. Yeah, the timing of these comments may have been bad but it is what it is. Joe Flacco has very tough skin so maybe he’ll use this as motivation to have a great game against the Patriots. Like I said in a previous article, all Joe Flacco has to do is win a Superbowl and he’ll silence the critics.
I personally had no problem with the way Joe Flacco played against the Houston Texans. He threw 2 touchdown passes against a top rated defense and had no interceptions. If anything, I was embarrassed by the fact we couldn’t convert in short yardage situations. The offensive line was horrible. They gave up 5 sacks. Joe Flacco is probably the most durable quarterback in the NFL and it is a wonder that he never gets hurt. He is the best quarterback that the Ravens have had even though that isn’t saying much considering who we’ve had.
