joe flacco - home games he has an 11:1 td:int ratio for 1529 yards (254.8/gm)
his away games he has a 10:7 td:int ratio for 1694 (242 yds/gm)
if i'm not mistaken, saints have only given up 8 passing tds all year?
he's been sacked 32 times so far
he's thrown for over 300 yards once this season, and that was 301 vs carolina.

they lost to cinci, which was an away divisional game, so i'll give them that one. they then went on to lose to NE by 3, ATL by 5 and pit by 3. their 4 losses have come by a total of 16 points. the record of teams they've beaten is 51-66. teams they've lost to is 34-18. they have had a pretty tough schedule so far i'd say. pitt, ne, atl all on the road. and pit at home. the total record of the teams they've played is 85-84 (50.3%)
just for reference the record for teams we've played is 68-101 (40.2%)
after this game it really doesnt get too much easier for them
@ cleveland (division opponent)
vs cincinnati (division opponent)
they need this win as well as the steelers to lose to the jets this week.
ray rice averages about 18 carries for 69 yards a game... his average per carry is down from the last 2 years. but this guy has NOT fumbled once all year, same as steven jackson last week. but look what happened to him?

they are tied for number 1 in the league for defensive TDs.
drew brees is 0-2 vs the ravens in his career, the last time he played them was in 2006 when they demolished us in the dome 22-35 after our bye. brees had 3 tds, with 3 INTs, sacked 2 twice and fumbled once.
the time before that was in 2003, brees threw 0 tds, 3 picks, sacked once. he lost 10-24. lets hope he can shake off his interception-itis he's been having.
for away games brees has a 12:7 td:int ratio. at home its 16:11. if he throws one more pick for the rest of the year he has thrown the most he has ever thrown in his career. even with all the picks, he's still completing 69% of his passes.
