Flacco's nonchalant attitude?

[tigercruise]

I'm a little tired of the way Flacco accepts a loss with words like, "Hey, you're going to lose some games in the NFL or it's just a loss or we'll get over it."

Maybe he'd be better served to watch the tape of the game and look at the horrible interception he threw yesterday or maybe, just maybe analyze why, after 5 years in the league, HE HOLDS THE BALL TOO LONG.

And then he could ask his coach why oh why did you throw the red flag when EVERYONE knew it wouldn't be overturned. Not a chance, not even close. A wasted time out that could have been used to save precious seconds. Seriously, it really makes you wonder if this coaching staff is just, well, out of touch with reality???

[West Chester Raven]

He can be non-chalant all he wants. His play is costing him millions on his renewal. Oh - he'll still have a nice payday - but not the one he could have or would have had if the Ravens had acted too quickly.

[OriginalColtsFan]

Actually, after Smith dropped the pass in the endzone, I saw a much different look coming from Joe than I'd ever seen before. It was anything BUT nonchalant. Maybe that's a good thing.

You're not going to change someone's personality just because of a loss. That's just the way he is and I seriously doubt it will ever change. I just wish he'd learn to secure the ball when he's hit. It gets very tiresome after almost 5 years of seeing him lose the ball when sacked. But hey, their home winning streak wasn't going to last forever. They had to lose at some point. Let's hope the 3 game cushion they built turns out to be enough.

Good outlook. All is not lost. Just very disappointing and now to go to work and face the obnoxious Steeler fans (there are always a few anywhere you go).

Joe is Joe. He needs to get better and he hasn't shown signs of getting better this year. But, at least he's not Mark Sanchez!

Really dude? So you don't think Flacco will review game tape today? Harbaugh already admitted he made a mistake with the flag. You want Flacco to go question Harbaugh now?

It's funny how when the Ravens win Flacco is "Joe Cool" and when they lose he's to nonchalant.

[Jooser]

Elite? Yeah, compare his stats to Charlie Batch, the old washed up dinosaur who hasn't thrown a TD since 2010. LMAO, Flacco.....whatever.

Dude? How old are you, dude? So Harbaugh admitted he made a mistake with the flag and that makes it OK? The Ravens are horrible at clock management and they can't seem to realize that. The Question is, why did he even consider throwing the flag on that play? Seriously, my 12-year old nephew even knew it was a mistake. How in the hell can a coach, who is supposedly in the game, even consider doing that on that play? It's mind boggling.

Charlie Batch played against the Steelers #1 defense??? Who knew????

[baltimoreron]

Have you seen the picture of him from the game in The Sun today? He doesn't look nonchalant to me. It looks like he's about ready to chuck his helmet at someone.

I'd like to see more of that fire occasionally. JO-like fire.

The one time out was not the coaches fault as the officials forgot to rewind the clock and only 2 seconds showed. Harbs was just bad coaching. Joe needed to get his *** chewed on halftime but he is a winner and until he shows he is not he is still better than 90% of the rest of the QB's in the league.

A wasted coach's challenge is just inexcusable. There should be a guy in booth who's ONLY job is to advise the Head Coach when a challenge is worthy.

With today's technology, it should not be that hard.

Even if the coach in the booth ONLY saw what the fans watching TV saw, it would be better than Harbaugh making the choice.

It should be ONE guy in the booth, not a committee, just one guy. That coach should be held to a standard of 99 percent or better.

I do not believe Joe Flacco is nonchalant about losing. Just because he isn't giving you the emotional reaction you desire for yourself doesn't mean he isn't feeling it inside. If I were in his position, the last thing I would want to do is express myself in front of the cameras, which just always seems to come back and bite the guy in the butt. I'm sure he lets his team know.

Agree 100%.

[West Chester Raven]

They aren't his team. He still hasn't taken hold of the team or commanded their respect through his play. This isn't his team. I think he has questionable pull in the locker room. I doubt he makes much in the way of speeches. His teammates know what he is.

[yeah]

joe is joe. hes a serviceable qb that has the 1000 yard stare down to a science. but hes your best choice for now. maybe the ravens can draft a new qb for next year

Oh for pete sake, I'm not suggesting the team is his in the sense of belonging to him, but it is his team in that he belongs to the team. And I don't believe you have any more idea of what his influence inside the team is than I do.

[Ravens2006]

It will never cease to amuse me. When the Ravens were "over-achieving" compared to expectations his first couple of years, he got the "Joe Cool" label because nothing seemed to phase him regardless of what was happening. When the Ravens "under-achive" compared to our expectations, he's adversely "nonchalant"... or as a select few want to claim... just dumb.

There are extremely excitable people, there are even-keeled people, and there are a thousand different types in between.

It's very easy to post great stats when receivers don't have a defender within 5 yards of them almost every completion. Most of Joe's incompletes are due to good defense played on the Ravens wide receivers. Just about every drop by Torrey was due to the defender or defenders being with him step for step.
