In 2013 the schedule makers had the Ravens play the Broncos in Denver, after their Super Bowl win, rather than giving them a home game, because of some pissing match with MLB.

The week prior to the game it was getting promoted so there were banners hanging all over town promoting the game. loving banners with Joe Flacco's face on them hanging all around Denver in September 2013.

They played in Denver because you can't run games at M&T and Camden simultaneously, as they have shared utility infrastructure.

This thread is from last year and about the Amazing Joe Flacco would would have won 2 more Super Bowls with the Ravens this year and last and also would have won were he the Browns QB but he would never lower himself to the level of playing QB for the Browns.

I can never tell if the January Joe stuff is ironic or not. But, I can go over game by game and assure you that outside of a one-year period, Joe Flacco was absolute dogshit in the playoffs and mediocre at best. Let's look at his stats.

Game 1 @Miami(W): 9/23 135 yards 0TD 0INT 1 rush TD--Obviously carried hard by defense here which picked Pennington 4 times.

Game 2 @ Tenn(W): 11/22 161yds 1 TD 0INT. Solid effort but nothing to write home about. A very 2000-Dilfer-like game. We really won this because Bart Scott went full Kurt Angle on Chris Johnson at the bottom of a pile after he was getting huge gains every carry.

Game 3 @Pitt(L): 13/30 141 yds 0TD 3INT. Abysmal. But the dude is a rookie on the road against a strong defense.

Game 4 @Patriots(W): 4/10 34yds 0TD 1INT. Carried HARD by defense and running game.

Game 5 @Colts(L): 20/35 189 yds 0TD 2 INT. Bad. Gave us no chance to win. No one mentions this game ever for some reason.

Game 6 @Chiefs(W): 25/34 265yds 2TD 0INT. His first actual good postseason game.

Game 7 @ Pitt(L): 16/30 125yds 1TD 1INT. Awful. Very much a team effort but we only needed adequate play to secure a win after a weak Pittsburgh start and didn't get it. 1st down interception to Ryan Clark late in the 3rd the lowlight of the game for Flacco.

Game 8 vs Texans(W): 14/27 176yds 2TD 0INT. Good effort against a very strong D though nothing extraordinary. Lucky to have been facing 3rd stringer TJ Yates.

Game 9 @Patriots: 22/36 306 yds 2TD 1INT. Great game that should have been a W if Lee Evans didn't drop the ball, we played for the first the next play instead of going straight for TD, and maybe if Cundiff doesn't shank.

Games 10, 11, 12, 13(4 W): Doesn't need to be said. One of the great postseason runs of all time ending with a SB MVP.

Game 15 @ Pittsburgh(W): 18/29 259yds 2TD 1 INT: Very strong effort to finally beat Pittsburgh on the road

Game 16 @Patriots(L): 28/45 292yds 4TD 2INT: Mixed bag. I'd call it overall good but throwing a very ill-advised pass on 2nd down on the potential game-winning drive with plenty of time left makes me put this in the bad column. Hmm an interception on a key 4th quarter drive on a completely unnecessary 2nd down risk? Sounds familiar.

Game 17 @Texans(L): 34/46 307yds 1TD 2INT: Doesn't look too horrible but the 2INT were back-to-back pick sixes that sealed their fate. Again, typical Flacco playoff 2nd half meltdown.

So when you look at the full picture, outside of like a one-year period Flacco absolutely melted down in close playoff games every single year. He definitely progressed from his Rookie and 2nd year, but typically his MO was to have one good game, then melt down the next one. Almost exactly what Lamar Jackson has done his last two playoff runs. Good game @ Tenn, miserable @Bills. Great game vs Texans where he picked up his play in the 2nd half, meltdown against Chiefs. I don't think we'll win a SB with Lamar at this point, but the dude is talented enough that he could still pull it all together for one big 2012-like run even if most of his career is going to be Flacco-like one good game one meltdown type stuff in the postseason.

In conclusion fire harbaugh now.

Laugh if you want but people need the perspective when they say Joe was this great playoff QB. He was mediocre outside of one great run. Basically the exact sort of run Nick Foles had a few years later.

Lamar is better than both, but clearly has tendency to panic and go full Boller in elimination games and our coaching staff can't seem to reel him in. When a guy is doing this kind of boneheaded poo poo 6 years into his career that's probably what he's going to keep doing...unless he has one of those postseason hot streaks like those guys did.

I appreciate the write-up. I think you are being a bit hard on Flacco since he is acceptable in roughly half the games in your list, which is hard to do against great playoff teams. But I understand where you are coming from.

Also it would be great if more people would also contribute and talk about football instead of just typing lol
