It'd be bad enough for an entire division to go winless (especially when said division is arguably the best in the NFL), but for each of the four teams to lose games in which they held fourth quarter leads, well that's a whole new level of disappointment.Shutdown Corner recounts the carnage, listing the games in order of least to most crushing: Baltimore Ravens 15, Indianapolis Colts 17 -- ...

Well, I know what kind of welcome he should get. The guy was a great player here for all of the Ravens history until this season and didn't ask out of town, so I think he should get a standing ovation. ...

Funny thing, too, that the Ravens gave their kicker the boot on Tuesday and signed Billy Cundiff, the old washout with Dallas, New Orleans and Cleveland. I couldn't resist asking Stover today, when we were away from everyone else, "So, you think the Ravens wish they had you no...

As we know, a win is a win. But that one was not particularly inspiring. At least the Ravens don’t have to face an undefeated team on a short week this Sunday. As for our free tab of the week based on the prediction for Sunday’s game, you’re all paying. Because the house won. Or at least I came the closest on both sides to predicting the 16-0 win. I had 24-6, and so did Frederi...

He's a good kid and he just had his NFL dream shattered, so there is nothing to celebrate here. This is the point where everybody knows that the Ravens should never have let Matt Stover get away, even if the logic of moving ahead with a young kicker made perfect sense last summer.

Stover, who spent 13 seasons with Baltimore before becoming a free agent after last season, worked out for the New York Giants last week, and told Murray he declined a chance earlier this season to join the Cleveland Browns.
