Would You Like Some Catchup With That

ravens_vs_broncos

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Denver Broncos in double overtime in a game they were constantly playing catchup.

Notice I did not say Denver choked, gave the game away or that the Ravens stole a win. In a year when the Ravens and Flacco were remarkably inconsistent, the Broncos had been, well, remarkably consistent.

Yet it was the Ravens, and Flacco, who played consistently well on offense Saturday.

The knock on Flacco has been he is not an elite QB because he is not consistently great, or even consistently good. The praise on Manning has been he is an elite QB because he is consistently great, or at least consistently good.

Make no mistake about it; QB’s and their play are important. Nothing has exemplified that point this year more than the play of Facco and Peyton. But the mark of a great QB and, for that matter, a great team, is not only being consistently good but overcoming adversity as well. This year Peyton and the Broncos certainly did that; so did Flacco and the Ravens.

The game Saturday was between two great teams. The game was won by a great team which overcame adversity and has seemingly been playing catchup all year long.

Congratulations to the Ravens.

And Flacco.

Why We Are All Doomed – Maybe

I’ve been tossing around a new idea and have been sketching out some rough thoughts about it this week.
But in the meanwhile . . .

I’ll give you a hint. It has more to do with this guy,

Than this girl.

If this video is all that we can hope for from the next generation, then we are all doomed.
OMG!
