This preview will be a little off from the regular format for the sake of time, because I’m making this post only 2 hours or so before the game starts. From the title, you can gather that this game will not be taken seriously by anybody not associated with these two teams....

Week 10 is approaching and our Ravens are 4-4, a bit of a let down, but the next half of the season is still to come. Our record shows us a lot of things. We see how strong we started, we see a team a team that has potential, but a team that is mediocre. [...]

Just a warning: This is going to be one of my ranting posts where I may eventually touch on everything that’s wrong with the world.
What a sad excuse for a game. Tom Coughlin said that his Giants’ game against the Chargers was “a one-game season.” The Ravens...

Opening Thoughts
This game is huge. If the Ravens win, they’re right back into the thick of the Divisional and Wild Card race. If they lose, it’s going to take a lot to get back in it. The Purple Birds finally showed us that the defense is still there as they shut down...

This week, there are only two games in the AFC North. Obviously, the Ravens-Bengals game is most important to us, as if the Purple Birds can nab a win, they pass the Ben-Gals in the division standings.
The other game, on Monday night in Denver, will become very important down...

This. Game. Was. Awesome. Remember our posts hounding on the team for everything and demanding more about two weeks ago? Well, maybe some Ravens read them. The offense was mostly dominant, the defense really stepped up and the special teams was the best it’s been in a while...

This game is HUGE. If the Broncos win, they’re 7-0 and can pad their lead even further in the AFC West. The Ravens NEED to win to stay in contention for the AFC North and the Wild Card race. Once they get past this game, it does get a bit easier. But if they [...]

Last season, as a rookie, almost everyone agreed that Joe Flacco had a great year. He managed games, he got wins and he almost led he team to a Super Bowl. All in his first season. With that came big expectations, and this year he has filled them, minus the winning games part the last [...]

As of now the Baltimore Ravens are 3-3 heading into their week 7 bye. We had three dominant performances to open the season, and looked so strong that in ESPN’s Week 3 Power Rankings, the Purple Birds topped the list. However, now the Ravens have lost three tear jerking games...

Talk about heartbreakers. Three weeks in a row the Ravens have pulled ‘Plaxicos’ and shot themselves. Penalties (235 yards on 25 penalties in the past 3 games), missed field goals (obviously, I am talking about Hauschka’s missed 44 yard game winner against the Vikings...

This is a must-win for the Ravens. It’s a really-badly-want-to-win for the Vikes. It’s going to be intense. You can bet that the Ravens defense wants to prove to the league and to their fans that they are still as good as they can be, but it will...

The season is 5 games young, and I meant to do this post last week for a quarterly update, but this works too. So, the Broncos are 5-0. The Titans 0-5. Detroit won a game and Cincinnati is unfortunately giving us a run for our money. If you have missed all of this, come on [...]
