The NFL's replacement officials are no good for football, no one is debating that -- well, no one but Cortland Finnegan. But like many players and fans of the game, Baltimore Ravens safety Bernard Pollard has had enough. Pollard, who might be best known for ending Tom Brady's 2008 season and injuring Rob Gronkowski's ankle in the AFC Championship Game last season, joined the Toucher and Rich Morning Show on 98.5 The Sports Hub on Thursday to talk about Sunday night's showdown with the Patriots as well as his utter disdain for the replacements referees. After some discussion about this...

Sports Hub:
Pollard: “As far as with the refs, like I’ve said before, this is way out of their league. They don’t, it’s just too fast, guys are too crafty, they cannot control the game. And my issue is, you know, we have our commissioner who’s jumping on board to hammer every other issue now in the NFL, he’s jumping on board to get meetings with players when things are...

Ravens safety Bernard Pollard had plenty to say about the replacement officials on Thursday morning, and very little of it was kind. During an interview with the “Toucher and Rich Show” on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston, Pollard ranted about how the officials are in way over their heads and blasted Roger Goodell for compromising the integrity of the game.
“These guys need to...

Tough, high-motored, and hard hitting, Bernard Pollard has become an integral part of the vaunted Ravens defense. The New England Patriots, who face the Ravens in Baltimore this Sunday, remember Pollard before he wore purple.In 2008, it was Pollard's hit that ended Tom Brady's season in week one, causing tears in the quarterback's ACL and MCL. At the time, Pollard played...

With his fifth NFL season underway, Joe Flacco is on the cusp of receiving a well earned pay increase, having started all 48 regular season games for the Ravens over the past four years, and putting up significant numbers in the process.
Baltimore has been unsuccessful thus far in their attempts to lock up Flacco long term and the possibility exists that the former Delaware standout...

So, I meant to write this post last week after he won AFC Offensive Player of the Week, but ended up getting sidetracked by something else and by the time I went to write it, it didn't seem topical anymore. But, with the Ravens coming up and everyone and their brother fighting over the chance to blow Joe Flacco (SFW), I think the time has come to proclaim this for all to hear...

The Patriots are playing the Ravens this weekend. It will be a tough matchup, but it shouldn't strike fear into too many New England fans' hearts -- unless, that is, they remember that Bernard Pollard is suiting up for Baltimore. Pollard is a common name in New England for the worst of reasons. When Tom Brady went down in the most frightening fashion at the beginning of the...

Maybe it was more about the overall pass-protect scheme of the Ravens in Philly, and not so much about the Offensive Line (pointing a finger at the Ravens' running backs and the enthusiastic release of their tight ends on pass routes)... but Joe Flacco took some hits last Sunday.Obviously the OL will be the first to take the blame. Veteran center Matt Birk got pushed around a...

The last we saw of the Ravens…
I really don’t want to rub the AFCCG in too much this week. Let’s face it, we should’ve at least seen overtime, much less lost had Sterling Moore not gotten a hand in on Lee Evans. As I said at the time, the only person on the Ravens that deserved to lose like that was Bernard Pollard.
Still, I love this GIF…

Finally the Ravens will get to face the Patriots at home. It’s their first game in Baltimore since the Bart Scott flag-throwing game in 2007.
This game will perhaps determine playoff seedings for the AFC as both teams are coming off losses to NFC foes.
The last time these two teams met, it was a gut-wrenching loss for the Ravens. In that game, quarterback Joe Flacco thoroughly...

The first two Thursday night games have been resounding duds. For the second straight week, fantasy owners salivated over the matchups made on paper. Visions of shootouts and huge point totals danced in their heads.
In Week 2, we saw Jay Cutler terrorized by Clay Matthews, a game that created several days of spirited debate that had nothing to do with the officials. Week 3 opened...

Yes, the Patriots to the Cardinals lost last week. No, it’s not the end of the world. In 2010, they lost to the Browns. In 2011, they lost to the Bills. Neither of those games meant anything. They won 14 games in 2010 and 13 games in 2011. This is still the most consistent franchise over the past decade. This is football. Sometimes...

The Ravens are overrated. We’ll see it this weekend. They rank just 12th in yards per play differential, despite playing one of their games against a banged up Bengals team that I think is one of the worst in the league. They clearly miss Terrell Suggs and others defensively. Only 5 teams have given up more yards than they have. Joe Flacco had a good...
