TEAMS: New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens
I went over this earlier in the day, everyone is talking about how much trouble the Ravens give the Patriots, but the Pats dominate the Ravens. Only stat you need to know is 7-1.ESPN:*ESPNBoston.comâs Tedy Bruschi: Ravens 27, Patriots 20. The Patriots will be better after Thanksgiving than they are right now. They are still getting used to the way Josh McDaniels calls a game. Their offensive line needs more time to improve and Aaron Hernandez's injury is big. Couple that with the concerns on special teams and you have a recipe for a loss. * ESPNBoston.comâs Mike Reiss: Ravens 24, Patriots 20. I expect a much better effort from the Patriots. This should be an electric environment. Given the home-field advantage, and some of the shaky play we've seen from the Patriots' offense in recent weeks, the Ravens look like the pick. Both teams have been excellent after a loss -- the Patriots are 27-3 the week after (since 2003), and the Ravens are 13-0 since 2009. The Ravens have ...

Ravens need to focus, stop pointing fingers
Most of the stories coming out of the Baltimore Ravensâ camp center around bad officiating, calls that went against the Ravens when they needed a score, or calls that were never made. Yes, the replacement referees leave much to be desired. But, they are making and missing bad calls for everyone. The Ravens lost Sunday because of a lack of focus on a pivotal play on defense and...

Patriots Preparing To Trade WR Wes Welker?
Mike Freeman of CBS Sports reports that league sources have mentioned that thereÂs Âmore than some remote possibility the New England Patriots are preparing to put WR Wes Welker on the trading block.
WelkerÂs recent demotion has come as shock to many, as has the increased snaps for Julian Edelman, who the Patriots are hoping to have as WelkerÂs replacement. Talks between...
Baltimore Ravens' Safety Bernard Pollard: Patriot-killer?
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...
Ravens defense hardly intimidating so far
The fear factor seems to have vanished from the Baltimore Ravens' defense. They rank 27th in the NFL in total defense after finishing third last season. In two games, the Ravens have allowed 808 yards of total offense and surrendered an average of 5.6 yards per play. "That's horrible, I take offense to where we are after two games," cornerback Cary Williams...

New England Patriots: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#3)
Last week: 3 (+0)
Record: 1-1
In 2010, the Patriots lost to the Browns. In 2011, the Patriots lost to the Bills. They won 14 games in 2010 and 13 games in 2011. It wasnât the end of the world then and itâs not the end of the world now. Itâs football. Sometimes **** just happens for no reason. If the Patriots lost to the Ravens this week, then theyâve got an issue, but given...
Patriots LB Jerod Mayo, DB Steve Gregory Fined For Hits Against Cardinals
Linebacker Jerod Mayo and safety Steve Gregory were each fined this week for hits against the Cardinals, though linebacker Brandon Spikes escaped a fine for a roughing the passer penalty, Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports.
Mayo was docked $21,000 for striking a defenseless receiver in the head and neck area. It was a result of the final play of the third quarter when Mayo...
2012 NFL Week 3: Survivor Pool Pick
If your reading this then you didnât listen to me last week and avoided picking the New England Patriots like half of America did. Even though they lost, I will still contend that they were the âright pick.â They were the home team playing a West-Coast team traveling East for a 1:00 start. Plus, theyâre the freaking Patriots!!! If you canât tell Iâm still a little bitter...
NFL Week 3: Patriots Offense Like Looking In Mirror Vs Ravens Offense On Sunday Night Football?
The New England Patriots became famous in NFL Draft circles for drafting multiple tight ends in the draft in various years. Drafting one in the first round never worked out as well, such as with Daniel Graham or Benjamin Watson, but once the Patriots learned that you could draft two or three in the second through seventh rounds instead of just one in the first, things started to...
NFL Week 2: Vanderjacked!
Week 2 is in the books and the most important player is again the kickerâŚ.good and bad!
The Bad
The Patriots and Tom Brady had a rough game but in the end New England was set up for victory. Down 2 and a 42 yd kick staring down reliable (career 84%) Stephen Gostkowski, the Patriots had surely done everything they needed too, at least we thought! The ball didnât just miss left...

The last we saw of the RavensâŚ
I really donât want to rub the AFCCG in too much this week. Letâs face it, we shouldâve 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 GIFâŚ
