Week 4 superlatives: Joe Flacco reemerges to save Colts | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

[@NedStarrk007]

Everyone here in Cleveland argues over baker and Watson. I’m here just wishing we still had Flacco.

[@funkdejunk3938]

flacco got exposed in the playoffs he wasnt playing good football

[@tigerhoods7927]

Rodgers deserves a lot of the blame, they blame Zach Wilson every time they lost and Rodgers is putting up the same stats as Wilson

[@SamsP.O.V-hd7rb]

Thank u! Of that was Russell Wilson and the other team only scored 10’points the media would’ve beat him down.

He tries to make it like he’s a genius, but he went to the Jets. Nobody is going to win being a New York Jet

[@oscarnarvaez5440]

That's true, but also, the D played much better last year despite.

[@karlmckinnell2635]

Jets are the Jets. 😢

[@appnzllr]

Joe F is great. Won a SB and nearly won the college championship (at that level). Glad to see him get a second wind.

[@johnchedsey1306]

I'd say he's probably the best backup in the league. He's probably not at the point of being a 17 game starter at his age, but it's pretty evident he can come in and handle a half or probably even 3-4 games at a high level. Colts were so smart to sign him.

[@rebreaville9332]

The older QBs who can read defenses are lethal if they get protection. They made their reps beating blitzes. Blitzes are killing teams with young QBs who are operating behind bad O lines. Justin Fields played really well.

[@tigerhoods7927]

Joe Flacco torched that so called Steelers great defense 😂

[@jordanturner5506]

​@jsutton9142 no they were not up by 17 when he came in

[@florianhermanni]

​​@@jsutton9142 7-0 actually, but I agree AR torched the defense up to that point. Flacco collected the TD on that drive

[@rsrik018]

​@jsutton9142 the colts were up 7 - 0 in the 1st quarter when Joe flacco came in. AR got hurt in the red zone and flacco threw the td to downs as his first pass of the game to go up 14 -0. I wouldn't have even said anything if you didn't insult someone else while being confidently wrong yourself.

[@caesar2421]

Steelers defense was off all game. Joe Flacco didn’t do it

[@Quinn37]

​@@caesar2421 Braden Smith has been really good against TJ Watt in multiple games. Don't forget, last year the Colts bullied the Steelers for 60 minutes. This isn't new.

[@ARNM55-l9v]

Old guy here. Stupid observation. Any of you old timers happen to notice that Joe Flacco, wearing #15, looked a bit like Earl Morrall, #15 for the Colts back in the day, when he came in to the game on Sunday?

[@johnchedsey1306]

Not a bad comparison!

[@craigostopovich4860]

Smart Indy for signed him ....

[@bozoboardman]

Washington Wizards era Aaron Rodgers

[@19eightyforeisnow]

More like Johnny Unitas on the rams, or for a modern version Russell Wilson on broncos. Jordan was actually decent on wizards, his team was suck though.

[@bozoboardman]

@@19eightyforeisnow Jordan was good every few nights. Other nights, he wasn't the Jordan we were used to. That's more what I mean. It's actually me complimenting Aaron Rodgers. He's played real well, for stretches, for his age.

[@jonec6496]

Richardson perfect example of why your QB should hand the ball off..

[@buddysteele7624]

It’s like Florio doesn’t even listen to Simms I swear. We already know that Florio has no clue about what’s really going on on the field. The X’s and O’s. Simms clearly finished his thought by saying, “Pittsburgh needs to unleash Fields and let him make plays. He’s shown he can protect the ball and complete the big throws. They’re holding him back.” Then Florio immediately says, “well we might see Pittsburgh start to rush along Russel Wilson’s ‘injury status’ after this.” You could even see Simms subtly look sideways like “what?!” Simms basically just said that Fields wasn’t the problem then Florio immediately says that they might hurry and get Wilson back in there. Florio is clueless. If Simms saw that Fields wasn’t the problem then Pittsburgh will be able to see that on film. Florio obviously can’t. Even though he’s been “analyzing football” for over 20 years and watching it for over 50. He’s such a fraud

[@bradleymaravalli2851]

Jaguars spent A LOT of money resigning everybody so of course the owner is expecting results. Now they are stuck with some bad contracts. Sad situation.

[@Idlewyld]

And that's why you don't overpay guys who have not won games.

[@jtmmmm27]

Pats should of signed Flacco over Brisset.

[@dorothymao432]

colts have one of the best olines compared to pats having the worst. joe flacco would’ve literally died behind the pats line. at least jacoby can somewhat move

[@jtmmmm27]

@@dorothymao432 Flacco coped just fine with the same Oline that Watson struggles under. Good Pocket QBs are easier to protect because they know their limitations.

You wish the Broncos could beat the Chiefs, Florio...not gonna happen. Grats on the great Vikings start, Florio...how about a Chiefs and Vikings Superbowl...a Superbowl IV rematch? I would love to see my Chiefs destroy the Vikings in the Superbowl again...

[@nikoenciso01]

I didn't know Flacco still was in the League

[@StudioDoom]

Congratulations. Claiming bigsby is better than Etienne is the most bizarre thing I've heard in a while

[@carrite]

Jacksonville gifted that game to Houston. A 1st and goal failure to generate points and then a series that took 46 seconds off the clock leading to a loss in the last 20 seconds of the game...

[@Zinger3030]

Flacco is amazing. Lamar Jackson has been a joke. Baltimore didn't give him the tools to succeed. Again, Flacco is so good. He hardly misses and has great pocket presence. Cleveland really screwed up letting him go because Watson is trash. Richardson is trash so think about it, Colts.

[@edwardwong654]

Doug Pederson will be fired soon, and a new coach will come in to help with Lawrence. Some time next season, they will finally write off Trevor Lawrence as dead cap space. Simple as that. I have seen this pattern before.

[@traydevon]

Florio is STILL wrong about the Panthers. Do you all even watch these games? The Panthers' OFFENSE played just as well as it did against the Raiders. Their WRs had 6 drops that cost them. Their main problem is their Defense is THE WORST IN THE NFL. Ja'Marr Chase didn't do squat on that TD play. The Panthers' pathetic tackling did it all. The first player that hit him didn't even try to wrap him up, he just tried to bump him down like that would work, and the 2nd Panthers player that hit him slid off him like he was covered in baby oil. The way the Panthers' offense played yesterday, they would've beaten most teams in the NFL. The way their Defense played, putting ZERO...AND I MEAN Z-E-R-O...pressure on Joe Burrow and always missing the first tackle is why they lost, they would've lost to most NFL teams, and that is the only reason they lost. Cincinnati didn't do squat. The Panthers lost that game and if you'd watched it you might know that.

[@johnchedsey1306]

Are you aware that media people often have to watch every game going on at once and aren't going to see all the minutia of each game? Probably not. But I bet you feel oh so much better screaming into the void and demonstrating you know lots about the Panthers! Good for you!

[@TyreeTravels]

Headline talks about Joe flacco and they proceed to talk for the first half of the video all about Aaron Rodgers can't we just get honest video titles

Uhmmm the jets beat the pats at met life..great research FLIORIO

[@throwthe9route92]

Joe is doing the same thing he did in Cleveland at Indianapolis.

[@kevinkelly1529]

... hope so. I'd be happy to see Flacco and the Colts go to the Super Bowl. 😁

[@rebreaville9332]

Trevor Lawrence has lost his confidence. Plus, he’s never really consistently played at a high level. Coaching is also an issue.

[@carrite]

Trevor Lawrence has no touch. As a Colts fan I am pretty sure the green and erratic Anthony Richardson has better touch than he does. We'll soon see.

Rodgers isn't what he used to be. I love the guy and think he's top 5 all-time arguably but he's just become way too tepid and conservative a player. Doesn't trust his receivers and I'm not sure if he trusts himself at times.

[@RHCollector]

He isn't the same person.

He's too busy thinking about Stonehenge in the huddle.

I know you’re still upset Aaron didn’t take your beloved vaccine, but blaming that game on him is crazy.

[@brandonwilson4740]

He didn't look good but the team aged terrible too and they still had a chance to win

[@drhexagonapus]

No one cares about the vaccine buddy, most of the qbs in the league haven't had it. Rodgers just played horribly and lost to a qb that threw for 60 yards.

[@Plisken65]

Actually AR is the one that tore Steelers up.

[@brandonwilson4740]

He completed 3/4 passes. He looked good but "tearing them up" is a stretch

[@HurshRoad]

@@brandonwilson4740 the score was already out of hand. Flacco finished the second drive that was already at 6 yard line. The offense stalled after he went out.

[@rsrik018]

​@@HurshRoadoutside of the drive he took over at the 6 yard line, flacco led the team to a scoring position in 4 out of the 8 drives he engineered. Not his fault that the highest paid kicker in the league missed one in the 3rd. While the deep ball disappeared under flacco he put on a masterclass on how to use Downs and the TEs underneath and in the middle of the field. Good lessons for AR
