Flacco could be placed on IR

Coincidence? Especially after he trashed the coaching staff after the game? He didn't seem hurt yesterday during the game...

Flacco to miss Week 9 with neck injury, could be placed on IR

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco will not play in Week 9 due to a herniated disc in his neck, head coach Vic Fangio announced.

Fangio later added that placing the 34-year-old on injured reserve was a possibility, but that the team will gather more information before making a final decision, according to DNVR's Andrew Mason.

Fourth-year quarterback Brandon Allen will ultimately replace Flacco. Allen, a 2016 sixth-round pick, will get his first start and taste of pro football at home against the Cleveland Browns.

Flacco's injury comes on the heels of another close loss for the Broncos. Following the defeat, the quarterback did not shy away from voicing his displeasure with the conservative play-calling on offense.

Will flacco start another game in the NFL? You got to figure Denver is probably going to move on with someone else next season and is Flacco really even good enough to start anymore

Can't wait to this bum to be cut. Gigantic waste of half a season staring this washed up loser that blames his coaches for his own failures.

you gotta love when the team comes to you, so they can let you know you are injured.

"hey Joe. By the way, you are injured"

Flacco - what?
