Football Season

Baltimore Ravens Football Season

The last 6 games of the season are all going to be tough games.  Four games are division games...majority important against good teams.
The other two games are also with reality good teams.  So one would say it's gonna be up hill battle.
 
And as one respected Sports commentator said before yesterdays game ... The Ravens have been playing with fire most of the season and its gonna catch up to them against facing all good teams to finish out the schedule. 

I'd have to agree with him. To many close games or blow out losses. The last 5 games... Two losses, one an embarrassing blowout to a great team, and another one lost to a team that should have been easy to beat. 4 of the 5 games were one score nail bitters that came down to the last play of the game. The wins were squeakers, and by all respects,  given the mistakes and failings of Jackson, those games should have been losses. The only saving grace was the Ravens good defense, couple with the opponents team underperforming and making more mistakes and miscues than the Ravens.

Jackson the past several games has had issues throwing the football. Too many throwing errors... over throws, under throws,  off target throws, and simply bad decisions throwing the ball. This last game, against the Browns,   Jackson throw four interceptions. No flukes... just terrible decisions. By all rights the Ravens should have lost the game,  but won,  simply because the Browns were having more issues the the Ravens. Jackson's claim to fame is his ability to run the ball.  Recently Most of his completed passes seen to be luck rather than talent. Jackson is not playing smart,  and it's almost like he is riding high on the praise he's getting for his elusive running ability, while not growing in his ability to be smarter passing the ball. It's great to be a running phenomenon, but a well rounded quaterback needs to be smart and accurate throwing the football. Jackson is getting worse in his decision making. Luck can not carry him much more... especially against the six games that are remaining.  

Yep... Jackson being the team leader is indeed playing with fire.  If he can not raise to the challenge, make better passing decisions, he and the team will get burnt with losses on the remaining games... Ending our season in yet another disappointment.   



We don't want another Flacco... a flash in the pan... Followed by years of disappointment.
