Back Off Flacco.......Seriously!

All week long, I've been listening to people rip Joe Flacco and his lack of development.  They've said the Ravens should have done what the Titans, Raiders and Panthers did.And bench their QB.  Guess what those teams are not. They are not Super Bowl contenders.  If you are coming off 2 playoff appearances in your QB's first 2 years, you don't bench your QB after the first half of the second game. I am not going to apologize for Joe Flacco. He didn't play well.  It didn't look like a lot of people on offense played well.  For the people that say "he threw 4 interceptions and should have been benched," 2 of them were in the final 5 minutes. What if you bench Flacco after the first half and Bulger throws 2 picks, and gets sacked and fumbles.  Quit panicking!
