[quote name='bvharris']Man I hope that stupid fake costs the Ravens in the end. What a dumb call.[/QUOTE]
I actually thought it was a pretty calculated risk. With a defense like Baltimore has, pinning San Francisco inside the 10 was still a favorable situation...and it worked out great for John Harbaugh. Yeah, you could just take your 3 points and be happy. But he took a shot. Ballsy, for sure, but not a bad call.
[quote name='itachiitachi']Manning and Brady where also both up against the raven's defense, Flacco was not.
I'm sure teams like the Cowboys, Texans, Bears ect... would all prefer to have a defense like the ravens rather than, a slightly better than average QB like Flacco.
Just look at what the ravens did when there key defenseive players where injured during the season.[/QUOTE]
Just going to leave this here...
It's a good thing Flacco isn't having a hell of a game and propelling his team's offense in the biggest game of his career. That would just be terribly upsetting. I'm not going to bother with bullshit terms like "elite". Flacco is a very good QB who makes plays when he needs to and makes few mistakes. I don't even care about Baltimore, but I am pulling for Flacco because he came out of a small FCS program (that my alma mater whipped for the 2007 FCS championship). But it's nice to see a guy that a lot of people overlooked have some success.
