NFL: Joe Flacco on Cowboys: 'We should beat this team'

"Flacco's words probably ring true across many NFL locker rooms this year. While the Cowboys (9-1) have the best record in the NFL, nearly half of their wins have been by a touchdown or less. Their rookie quarterback is fantastic but not infallible. Ezekiel Elliott can be slowed down even if no one has accomplished that yet. The team seems to be a mystery for opponents this season -- until after they get the film."

Flacco can suck it. Enjoy the sour grapes.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda still does not equal a W, Joe. Maybe you should take a page out of Dak's book, instead of talkin about wins, just go out and EARN em.

Flacco, you stunk it up against one of the worst defenses in the league with almost zero pressure on you all day. Get over yourself.

The quote from the writer is even worse. I am pretty sure that every team has enough film on the Cowboys by now that they are not surprising anyone.

Lol @ Flacco! Most NFL games are close, hardly see blowouts anymore. Winning those tight games is what separates the good teams from the average.....he of all people should know that.

Hard for opponents to score when we dominate the ball possession and don't make mistakes.

I am told if you have a Super Bowl ring, that's all that matters.

So... flaccid is right. He has a ring.

Everyone pucker up and kiss it.


(Auto correct on his name. Not going to correct it because it's an apt substitution for his play.)

1/2 of all NFL games are settled by a TD or less.

Duh.

We been doing the same thing all year how is it a suprise? It's called try and stop us. Our men vs yours.

That's it.

Ravens were fortunate the Cowboy offense did nothing for its first five possessions.

If the Ravens could have scored another 10 points in the first half they would have had a great chance... But they couldn't and that was that.

I thought Flacco should be more worried about Ray Lewis murdering him over his lack of passion.

Say it ain't so Joe.

BTW....stop acting like a little HO

In the last twenty years 46.12% of all the NFL regular season games were decided by 7 or less points and 23.59% of the football games were decided by 3 or less.

"I feel like, if we could've scored more points then them, we probably would've won the game." So right man, so right.

Who has one of the worst defenses in the NFL?

I would like to see some stats to back up your claim.

The Ravens looked good in the 1st quarter. After that, they got their butts whooped and didn't stand a chance.

I don't think Flacco's words were all that bad. Every team should expect to beat their opponent. Otherwise, why play the game? I'm more pissed by the following author's words:

There's no mystery about the Cowboys. They are an efficient, time possession offense that runs the ball well behind a great offensive line with a QB who hits open receivers and makes plays when they matter.
