Joe Flacco Is Out For The Season With A Torn ACL

Well alright. As soon as I hit pub on my postgame blog, news comes out that Joe is doused for the year. Awful news. I can handle a mild injury that knocks him out for the season, but anything that affects his future is awful awful news. Guess it was bound to happen eventually. Guy was made of steel for years and dodged plenty of bullets. Better to happen now than in a year where the team was actually going places.

 

This really is just a microcosm of this season though. Absolutely nothing has gone right for the Ravens outside of the Steelers being miserable at kicking field goals. This was the ultimate cherry on top. Every time something went wrong this year, I’d try to look on the bright side and say “Welp, at least Joe Flacco hasn’t gotten hurt yet”. Well this is it. I love Joe way too much to paint this as good news for tanking purposes. Maybe down the road I’ll be thankful that this sealed the Ravens’ fate, but right now it’s just too painful.

 

Get better Joe.
