What voodoo master did they piss off? Dude's dropping left and right with season ending injuries. Today they lost rookie guard Nico Siragusa who basically lost his entire leg. Suffered a torn ACL, MCL and PCL. His career might be over before it even began

Speaking of his play, Flacco hasn't necessarily been great on the field since his spectacular run in the 2012 postseason that allowed the Ravens to claim their second Super Bowl title. Over the last four seasons, Flacco is only 29-29 as a starter with an 82.5 passer rating and 61 interceptions (third-most in the NFL during that span). Not to mention, the Ravens have made just one playoff appearance since their magical title run, which is a major concern for a team that's invested big money in the QB.

That's why I'm concerned that Flacco won't ever play up to the standard that he created when he successfully bet on himself during the 2012 season. Despite positing decent numbers as a passer (3,500-plus passing yards in seven of his nine seasons), Flacco still doesn't stand out as an elite quarterback with the capacity to put an offense on his shoulders.

"He not that guy," the former scout said. "They have a high regard for him in the building, but he's never really been the guy to carry the team. When they've been at their best, he's been the complement to a strong running game and suffocating defense. ... He wasn't the straw that stirred the drink when they were winning during his early years. Ray Rice was the focal point back then. Without a big-time player in the backfield to do the heavy lifting, he is unable to take the offense to another level."

Joe Fluke-ccO as Skip Bayless likes to call him certainly cashed in at the right time, at the 49ers expense, no less.

This is when you start investigating your strength and conditioning staff and your groundskeepers big time. Might just be bad luck, but might also not be.

Ever since the Ravens beat us in the Super Bowl and signed Joe Flacco to $120M, nothing has gone their way. It's almost like they sold their souls just for that playoff run. They almost sparked another one in 2014 but they came up short against the Patriots (surprised people don't talk about that game more).

Yeah I feel for the Chargers more than the Ravens. They lost Lamp and Williams already. You know damn well Keenan Allen won't make it through the season. And just holding their breath on Jason Verrett. Among Antonio Gates who's good for what 7 games a year.
