Yeah, but how did it come to be that Flacco even had an opportunity to throw that pass?

because with 2:00 left in the game facing a third and seven, John Fox plays it like a scared old lady -- rushing the ball in the hands of the immortal Ronnie Hillman for no gain.

rather than giving one of the best QBs in NFL history a shot to pick up the needed seven yards and a 1st down that would have sealed the deal.

when you play the game without testicles, you get what you deserve.
