Joe Flacco

You actually can easily, but it'd be pretty time consuming.

To do it, just go use ProFootballReference and hit game logs. It'll show you every single game by that player.

Issue is, I'm not sure how to filter by individual team, so if the quarterback changed, you'd have to know who the new one is.

I dont really mind who the qb is, id just imagine most teams lose when they throw 50+ times

The Pats like to run up the score though. Th eff y have never really taken a foot off the gas when up 28 like most teams do

And they have historically and often used the dink and dunk by design in lieu of a running game.
 
The intent wasn't to say that Flacco is some scrub because he can't throw 50 passes a game and win and ither quarterbacks can. Rather, it was to help show that it's actually really difficult to win with an off balance gameplan, even for someone like Brees who routinely leads the NFL in passing yards, although, I'd imagine much of that comes down to the Saints D, but that's another discussion.

Anyway, I was flipping through some of the games where the Ravens went uber pass heavy and kinda ditched the run game and it'd be the Ravens trailing by 10 in the second quarter, but never trailing by more.

It's those types of games that are so frustrating. I understand the run game chews up clock, but you know what else does? Huddling up after every single play.

I don't have any official way to support this, but I'd imagine the time run off between huddling without ever running and the time run off from running the ball, but going no huddle is comparable.

We know Joe is extremely comfortable in a high tempo offense; why not let him let loose in the no huddle and keep the running game going? Force defenders into the box and keep John Brown cleaner.

These types of statistics are always so skewed. Most teams run at the end of a game to waste clock if they have a good lead. I’d like to keep him to less than 45 to have closer to a 60/40 balance pass/run, but not because Flacco doesn’t win when he passes this much. Even staying balanced can be skewed towards the end of each half.

there's a bit of a cause and effect problem here...
when you're throwing that much - the vast majority of the time you are throwing that much because you are already losing...

ironically this browns game is one of the few exceptions because we were never more than 6 points behind

Sure you do; as you would with anything related to anything negative about Joe, but as I recently wrote...

Can the Baltimore Ravens Find a Balance Between the Passing Game and the Running Game?

After the loss to the Browns, John Harbaugh was asked if he had any concerns with the run-pass balance. Harbaugh, never being one to criticize the play calling of his coordinators publically, remarked that the Ravens had run the ball 28 times; was that not enough?

Three things to note here. One, the Ravens ran the ball with Alex Collins 12 times and with Buck Allen 8 times. Joe Flacco had a scramble for a first down and a quarterback sneak for a first down. Lamar Jackson received three designed runs. That is 25 carries with only 20 going to the running backs. Two, even if the Ravens had run 28 times, that would still be under half as many times as they had passed the ball. Three, the Ravens are the proud owners of a sparkling 8-22 record when Joe Flacco passes at least 45 times in a games, including a 2-9 record when Flacco throws the ball at least 50 times.

Harbaugh, listen to me for a second, please- you can have all the faith in Flacco in the world, but it is very clear that the Ravens need a balance between the running and passing game. I understand that passing when the Ravens are far down is expected, but the Ravens were never trailing by more than six points; there was never a reason to pass more than 50 times. Please, continue to run the ball- Joe will love you for it.
 
Joe, like any quarterback, would love a running game. It creates balance, opens passing windows, and keeps a defense off balance.
 
Are you Flacco fanboys so blinded that you cannot see this entire argument is not a knock on Joe but rather on our atrocious play calling in Cleveland?

He is not the type of quarterback who can succeed throwing that much. Definitely not the QB who can do it while D knows what's coming. Get over it. Not many QBs are.

Apparently he really is that blindsided.

But you know I've never written a positive thing about Joe, so of course it's meant as a slight.

I wasn't taking it as an insult to joe. I was just curious as to know the figures and per tanks post its quite remarkable we have actually done this 12 times...

The record is Record: 80-251-2 (Win% : 24%)

Yeah, it's right on par with Drew Brees and I believe he came into the league five years earlier. But then you look at Aaron Rodgers and Rodgers has like 5, I think, and that's a team where everyone is like, "THEY HAVE NO RUN GAME!"

And I know you didn't take it as a slight to Joe, but you know damn well Tank did because I have never said a positive thing about Joe in my life.
 
"It is because Joe Flacco has looked nothing like the Joe Flacco of 2015 on. If the 2018 preseason is any indication, gone are the check down throws and errant throws that led to just 18 touchdown passes and a career low (and NFL low) 5.7 yards per attempt. Instead, Joe Flacco has looked aggressive, attacking defenses down the field, accurate on his throws, finishing with a completion percentage of 75% this preseason, and most importantly, appeared poised in the pocket and in control of this offense... Flacco looks even better than the quarterback who led the Ravens to five straight postseason appearances from 2008 to 2012."

"Bold Stat Prediction:

I'm really drinking the purple kool-aid right now when it comes to Joe Flacco. He was superb in the two preseason games he played and every single report from camp suggests this is the best Joe Flacco we will have ever seen. I'm totally buying into it and so my bold stat prediction of the week is...

Joe Flacco will complete over 60% of his passes for over 250 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions."

"The national media ignored the boring old Joe Flacco in favor of the more electrifying Lamar Jackson. The national media raged and buzzed for Jackson and his exciting Michael Vick-esque talents to take over for the Baltimore Ravens. The national talking heads ignored the report by Peter King who wrote that Joe Flacco, in the one practice King attended, may have had the single most dominant day of practice he had ever seen from a quarterback. The national pundits all ignored the preseason where Flacco seamlessly commanded a Ravens offense that looked to take flight on the rest of the league. They ignored all the signs in favor of the young rookie, ignoring the old, wily veteran who wanted to prove he still had plenty left in the tank.

If this is the Joe Flacco and the Ravens offense that fans will be seeing every week, then… DAMN!"

"One thing is abundantly clear for the Baltimore Ravens this season- they live and die by the arm of Joe Flacco. Despite all the coaches speak of wanting to get the running game pumping and needing Alex Collins to run well, the Ravens have, for three straight weeks, counted on Joe Flacco to carry the game. Against the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos, this worked out incredibly well. Flacco was generally accurate, poised, in command, and made smart decisions with the football. He helped to sustain drives and methodically moved the ball through the air."

By the way, here are some positive things that definitely were not written about me in articles on the front page. These definitely were not my feelings about Joe Flacco.
