Terrell Suggs Defends Joe Flacco


Recently on ESPN's first take, Terrell Suggs went into the studio and spoke with Skip Bayless. During the interview Suggs stressed that he was completely sold on Joe Flacco, even going as far as to look in the camera and say it. Suggs even brought up the fact that in 2009, Flacco defeated Tom Brady in the playoffs. He also reminded everyone that Matt Ryan, who the world loves, never won a playoff game. Joe Flacco has reached the playoffs in each of his three years.

The Ravens prepare for the Texans



"Im not saying it will be easier, but without him it will certainly help us out," were the words from Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco regarding the Houston Texans (3-2) Defensive End Mario Williams being inactive for this game.

The Ravens (3-1) have been playing great football this year so far. They understand that Sunday evenings game will not be an easy one. But without Mario Williams and pro bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson both sidelined, they will have an advantage.

The Ravens have done one thing that the fans of Baltimore have complained about in previous years, that is blow teams out. This year, they are number one in the AFC in points differential with +62 and number one in the NFL with points allowed with 57. So who is unable to blow teams out now?

With Arian Foster and Ben Tate coming into M&T Bank stadium this Sunday, the Ravens understand they have a tough task at hand. The Texans rank fifth in the league in rushing with 132.8 yards per game. However, the Ravens defense has been able to shut down every running back this year. Opposing rushers only average 72.5 yards per game. The Ravens have yet to allow a 100 yard rusher this season.

Joe Flacco looks to rebound after a disappointing performance against the New York Jets in week four. When Flacco faced the Texans on December 13, 2010, he threw for 235 yards with a pair of touchdowns.

Matt Shaub remembers the last time he faced the Ravens. After being down 21-7 at half, he rallied a 15-point fourth quarter to force the game into overtime. On the verge of possibly pulling off a huge comeback victory, Shaub would throw a pick-six to then Ravens cornerback, Josh Wilson has the Ravens defeated the Texans in overtime 34-28.

This season seemed to finally be the one that would put the Texans over the Colts. But with the Ravens coming up and the Tennessee Titans making a surprise run in the AFC South, Matt Shaub really needs to step up and display leadership and find another target while Andre Johnson is sidelined.

The Ravens on the other hand are riding solid in the AFC North. However, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers are both a game behind, and anytime the AFC North is up for grabs, it is anyone's ball game.

WEEK 3 NFL Predictions (Current Record 19-13)


Houston at New Orleans Saints
NY Giants at Philadelphia Eagles
Jacksonville at Carolina Panthers
New England at Buffalo Patriots
Miami at Cleveland Dolphins
San Francisco at Cincinnati 49ers
Denver at Tennessee Titans
Detroit at Minnesota Vikings

NY Jets at Oakland Raiders

Atlanta at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Green Bay at Chicago Packers
Pittsburgh at Indianapolis Steelers
Washington at Dallas Cowboys

*Week 2 12-4

The Match of the week, The Chicago Bears hosting the Green Bay Packers in a rematch of last years NFC Championship game. These two teams have hated each other since the beginning of time. The Bears defeated the Falcons in week one but fell short to the New Orleans Saints. The Packers have been hot. They defeated the Saints in week one, followed by the Panthers in week 2. A year ago, the Packers were not at full strength. They won a Super Bowl with nearly their second string team. Coming back at full strength, they are almost unstoppable. This will be a true test to the Bears who lost a week ago if they can slow down the champs.

Super Bowl Predictions
Baltimore Ravens over the Green Bay Packers

The Baltimore Ravens have gotten rid of a lot of "dead" weight on their team from the previous years. Derrick Mason, Willis McGahee and Todd Heap were all pro bowl players, however their pro bowl days are over, and they were not able to help deliver the city of Baltimore a Super Bowl Championship. Now having a well balanced receiving core, with the addition of Lee Evans and Torrey Smith (rookie), the Ravens now have the ability to stretch the field. With guys such as Ray Lewis and Ed Reed who are both near the end of the road, this team looks to come and play harder than ever before because it is now or never. The Ravens are my predictions to win the 2011 Super Bowl.

The Green Bay Packers a year ago won the Super Bowl with nearly an entire second string. This year they are dangerous. Their starters are returning, and with a lot of teams making a lot of changes in the NFL, they are one of the few teams who are still intact. I would not be surprised to see this team win their first ten games. However, the chances of winning a Super Bowl two years in a row are very slim, and with a team like the Baltimore Ravens who has a lot of heart, I look for the Packers to fall just short.
