Flacco

[Whatever]

Either way, you usually don't blame the QB who gave his defense 33 points and told them that all they need to do is stop the Raiders once. 

The blame certainly isn't all or even mostly on Flacco.  He played well for most of the game.  However,  he missed a TD throw that would have at least given them a shot in OT, and an incompletion on the play before that preserved enough time for the Raiders to march down the field for the winning score.  If the Ravens had tried to run the clock, they probably would have had a much better chance to win.  However, as bad as the D was, Harbaugh and Co felt they needed a TD, and they put it in Flacco's hands, and he did not deliver.  Some blame has to fall in his direction, too.
