Rob, if Kubiak in Baltimore brings us back to the playoffs with a stronger offense than 2012 will you be more pissed or indifferent?

I feel bad for Flacco. Kubiak will drive him to mediocrity.

Initially that was my concern, but then I realized, DUH, Kubiak wasn't mediocre, that was all Schaub! If anything, I discovered Ravens were thinking quite the opposite, that instead of bringing Flacco down that looking at Kubiak's history with admittedly mediocre at best QBs will translate into a better Flacco. After all, Flacco gets a bad rap because he isn't a stat padding QB, but the guy is far from mediocre with 10-4 playoffs record and SB/SB MVP..

ESPN points out:

Quote:

Why? Just look at his track record with quarterbacks:

In 2000, Brian Griese led the NFL with a 102.9 passer rating.

In 2004, Jake Plummer ranked fourth in the league with 4,089 yards passing, one more than Brett Favre.

In 2009, Matt Schaub led the NFL in passing with 4,770 yards.

If Schaub can throw for nearly 5000 yards and Plummer can beat out Favre in Kubiak system than Flacco can MOST DEFINITELY improve, period! I'm not a fan, but I will admit that Kubiak has made some great lemonade in his career working with mediocre QBs, and while Flacco gets a bad rap because of his streaky stats, the guy is good, in fact, the second most clutch (i.e. game winning drives in 4th qtr) QB behind Tom Brady since 2008 in come from behind wins.
Also, Ravens need to seriously resurrect the run game, and Kubiak did very well scheming for Arian Foster, Ravens are confident that he can similarly boost up a recovering Ray Rice, plus he is familiar with our back up Vonta Leach.

I guess every player on the Super Bowl teams gets their own song. Something like that.

The head official was able to handle Joe Namath's speed better than Denver handled Seattle's.

Rob Instigator · 02.03.2014, 02:27 PM

Joe Namath was so wasted! ha! The official totally handled it like a pro!

YES he did!

Seahawks won by 35 last night......the previous 6 Super Bowls were decided by a total of 34 points.

Rob Instigator · 02.03.2014, 02:50 PM

I hate the Broncos so much, mostly because they used to kill the Oilers nearly every year in the playoffs, and because fuck the broncos.

Fuck John Elway too.

Bytor Peltor · 02.03.2014, 02:54 PM

I guess it is pretty safe to assume the Seahawks will open next NFL season on Thursday night against the 49ers......

Rob Instigator · 02.03.2014, 03:19 PM

By The Way, that Bob Dylan commercial for Chrysler made me want tO BARF in his ugly-ass face

The Denver Broncos curse strikes again, and not only gut checks John Elway but even manages to drag Peyton Manning out of Greatest All Time conversations!

Broncos set NFL record worst 2-5 in Superbowl
Peyton Manning breaks Favre's record word 12 postseason losses..

Haha, America is naively calling this a "boring game" MEH.

I'm not on Seattle's bandwagon in the slightest but man, that was one of the best games I've ever seen!! Seahawks utterly thwarted EVERY single option for the Broncos. Peyton said "embarrassing" is an insult, yup, I agree, sorry about that Peyton, the better term would be, "HUMILIATED."

Do they not appreciate the kind of guttural, savage, primal defense that we haven't only seen about 3 or 4 times in NFL history? That is right, last night Seahawks officially climbed into the top-5 all-time defenses in NFL history. My list? (1) 85 Bears (2) 2000 Ravens (3) 2013 Seahawks (4) 1976 Steelers (5) 1973 Dolphins

Personal Bias: I HATE PEYTON MANNING. DUDE SENT MY RAVENS HOME TWO CRUCIAL YEARS, and yeah, we got out payback too, but still, those wounds sting. That, and I never like the fan boy, dick riding favorites. People are honestly STILL trying to apologize for Peyton, still claiming his legacy isn't tainted, still, trying to say he is the best all time? Haven't they watched him throw pick-6s in THREE Superbowls now (an NFL record btw).. Haven't they watched him have SEVEN first round exits as one-and-done duds? Meh. To me, last night was almost as vindicating as last year's Ravens' win, it sealed my opinon substantively that Peyton Manning is a shitty QB who pads his stats in the season beating up on weak teams. Hey Tom Brady, you're legacy is next

Rob Instigator · 02.03.2014, 03:24 PM

I hated every commercial.

The most fun part of the Super Bowl for Denver may have been the coin-toss, all 1 minute and 20 seconds of it.

Transcript of Joe Namath's Super Bowl coin-toss, 2014

Stadium P.A. Announcer - "Coin-toss participants, Super Bowl legends Joe Namath of the New York Jets and Phil Simms of the New york Giants. And now, referee Terry McCauley (sp?)."
Ref - "Congratulations gentlemen. Welcome to Super Bowl 48. Please shake hands."
Team Captains - (incoherent mumbling)
Russel Wilson, shaking hands - "Have a good game. Have a good game."
Wes Welker - "You too."
David Bruton - " Thank you."
Ref - "Step back. This is the coin. The side with team logos and the Lombardi trophy is heads. The stadium is tails. It is my honor to present Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath, to toss the coin."
(Off-screen) - " Do it Joe!"
Joe Namath - "Allright folks..."
Ref - "Seat....uh!"
Wesley Woodyard - "woahwhoahwoah WHOA!"
Ref - "Seattle's the visiting team. Who's going to call the toss?"
Heath Farwell - "Tails."
Joe Namath - (laughs)
Ref- "Tails. He called Tails. Now Joe."
Joe Namath to Heath Farwell- "I got a quick release, you know what..."
Line Judge to Ref, jokingly - "What's he call?"
Re6 - "Tails."
Phil Simms to Ref -"That's a good catch."
Ref after Namath flips the coin - "It is Tails. You won the toss."
Seattle player - "We defer."
Ref - "Seattle won the toss. Defers to the second half. You want the ball. Which way are you gonna kick? Place your backs over here. Denver will receive."
