The Ravens started this season the same way they started last season – by blowing out an AFC North opponent. Baltimore used offense, defense and special teams to beat the Bengals 44-13 Monday night. Joe Flacco was spectacular throwing two touchdowns on 21 of 29 passing for 299 yards. Ray Rice also got in the end zone, but only ran for 68 yards on 10 carries. Ed Reed returned an interception for a touchdown. Rookie kicker Justin Tucker booted three field goals. It doesn’t look like the Ravens have too many weaknesses, but we’ll find out more about the team next week when they face the Philadelphia Eagles.

When you think of the top quarterbacks in fantasy football, the Ravens’ Joe Flacco does not automatically come to mind.  That’s because a typical Baltimore team wins on defense, not offense, and the Ravens’ Ray Rice is really the offensive star of the team, at least from fantasy football standards. The Ravens, however, made a [...]

John Harbaugh on Joe Flacco: ‘Pay him whatever he wants’

If the Ravens front office was looking for leverage in contract negotiations with Joe Flacco, they found none this week. Baltimore is expected to give Flacco more freedom this season and let him run the no-huddle offense, and he turned that freedom into 21-for-29 passing, 299 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 44-13 win over Cincinnati Monday night. He also got the ultimate...

Bengals match worst opening loss ever

Via AP on Fox  |  September 11, 2012

Ravens-Eagles Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  September 12, 2012
A late game-winning drive salvaged an otherwise dreadful Week 1 for Michael Vick. Joe Flacco was brilliant for virtually all 60 minutes. Vick could be facing an unfriendly home crowd if his performance is much like the season opener, and Philadelphia Eagles fans would only be more temperamental if Flacco and the new-look Baltimore Ravens offense have another big game Sunday.

Last week: 15 (+1) Record: 1-0 This is the first in 4 straight controversial rankings. Two of my early season bold predictions, Titans over Ravens and Rams over 49ers, took a hit on an otherwise solid week 1, but I hate to change predictions after 1 week. I’d rather be wrong than flip flop because I think I’m wrong and then be proven right. Everyone is wrong about stuff. If I’m...
