But seriously, the reason why I like Flacco is because I remember him boldly announcing that he is an elite qb (this before last year's AFC Title game when the Ravens were a Lee Evans drop from last year's Super Bowl). I think thought that he was full of himself, and laughed. But then I watched last year's AFC title game and realized that Flacco was pretty damn good as he outplayed Tom Brady, only to have his team to just come up short. Flacco just got his second chance against Tom Brady today, and this time, Flacco outplayed Brady even moreso than he did in last year's AFC title game. |

Their O is built around the passing game as a long handoff looking for the 4-8 yard gains hoping to bring the D in so they can attack deeper. We are the other way around, pushing down field in the 8-20 yard or more range using the run game to keep D's honest. Both Decker and DT have had big time downfield chunks and long TD's. Had Decker not fallen down and DT not dropped the ball we should have had 2 more long TD's. All teams utilize the short pass but NE is built around quick fast break plays trying to get a guy in space gaining YAC off making guys miss. Look at all the crossing routes NE ran last night. Manning went to check down routes a lot vs Ravens but those were not designed as 1st options. We were a much more dink and dunk team when mCd was here as he brought the Belly system with him. |
