These next 11 weeks could end up being a lot of "fun." Of course, by "fun," I mean, "What a disaster these next 11 weeks could be."
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco put together a decent, but uneven, performance during the team's 27-23 loss to the New York Giants Oct. 16. He threw for more than 300 yards for the second time this season -- making particularly spectacular downfield throws to receivers Breshad Perriman and Mike Wallace. He also missed two key throws during the final drive that could have changed the outcome of the game.
Oh, and he also had to play behind a makeshift offensive line with only one player playing in their regular position (center Jeremy Zuttah). Plus, he had to survive multiple penalties, play without his top receiver (Steve Smith Sr. -- an equally indicting statement toward the front office) and adjust to a new offensive coordinator with just days' notice while playing against one of the NFL's top five red zone defenses on the road.
