Will Joe Flacco and the Ravens Offense Get it Together?

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.

Ravens Have Something to Prove and so do the Texans

Even though the Baltimore Ravens got the victory last week against the Dallas Cowboys, it proved to be costly as Ray Lewis and Ladarius Webb were injured and will be out for the rest of the season. The Ravens defense has given up a huge amount of yards this season on the ground even when these 2 players were healthy. The Ravens defense will be looking to prove that they can stop the run and that they can step up despite the loss of 2 key players on defense. The Ravens offense will be looking to prove that they can continue to carry the team.

The Houston Texans will be looking to bounce back after a devastating loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Texans will be looking to prove that they are Superbowl contenders in the AFC by knocking off the Baltimore Ravens for the first time in the history of their organization. They may also be seeking a little revenge against the Ravens since the Ravens knocked them out of the playffs last season.

This is the matchup that all the analysts are talking about this week and it should be a good game.

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.

Here is a clip of ESPN analysts discussing Ed Reed’s comments:

Ravens Beat Texans 20 to 13

The Baltimore Ravens remained undefeated at home during both the regular and post season this year. The Ravens also remained undefeated against the Houston Texans. This game was a little closer than the first one this year. The Texans continuously fed their star running back Arian Foster who ended up with 27 carries for 132 yards and a TD. Ray Rice was held to just 60 yards on 21 carries even though he got his opportunities.

The difference was that our quarterback Joe Flacco threw 2 TD passes and no interceptions and the young Texans QB threw no TD passes and 3 interceptions. The Ravens definitely need to improve in some areas but they did enough to win and hold onto the lead once they got it. The Ravens will have to go on the road to face an explosive New England Patriots offense led by Tom Brady.

The major area of concern for me is that the Ravens led the NFL in sacks but had no sacks today. We will definitely need a better pass rush when we play the New England Patriots next week.

Ravens Hush Houston Texans 29 to 14

Despite 2 turnovers in the first half, the Baltimore Ravens were still able to dominate the Houston Texans. The Ravens defense held Arian Foster to just 49 yards rushing. Ray Rice rushed for 101 yards on the ground. Anquan Boldin had a great day with 132 yards receiving. Cundiff kicked 5 field goals!

Joe Flacco didn’t have a fantastic day but did make some great throws to keep the chains moving. The living legend Ray Lewis had 8 tackles and a sack today. Overall, it was a good day for the Baltimore Ravens and Ravens fans.

Another 4th Quarter Heart Attack for Ravens Fans in Texans Game

The Baltimore Ravens seem to give their fans heart attacks in the 4th quarter in almost every game this year. This game seemed like it was going to be an easy win at first for the Ravens who led by as much as 21 points at one point. The Houston Texans however managed to march down the field repeatedly in the 4th quarter and eventually tied it up at 28 points sending the game to overtime.

The Ravens got the ball first in overtime which gave the D some much needed rest even though the offense didn’t do much. Just when it looked like the Ravens were going to blow another game that they should’ve won, Josh Wilson came up big. Wilson intercepted a pass and ran it back for the game winning score. Game over. Ravens win 34 to 28.
