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...

Opening Thoughts
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...

Matt Stover, the awesome ex-kicker for our Baltimore Ravens, has found a new home for his kicking prowess. At the age of 41 Stover will enter his 20th season in the NFL as an Indianapolis Colt. He is replacing Adam Vinateri while he undergoes arthroscopic surgery in his leg (out for...

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 [...]

The Ravens have added some more depth to their receiving corps, signing Super Bowl hero David Tyree. Tyree was cut by the Giants at the end of training camp and was immediately linked to the Ravens. The 29-year old out of Syracuse has 54 career receptions, 650 yards and four touchdowns...

I’m finally back to being in a mindset to write about this team. How can you screw up two games in a row, in an eerily similar way? It was penalties, terrible short pass defense, not capitalizing on turnovers and bad plays, it was like Foxborough all over again. Flacco...

Through four games, the Cleveland Browns have been horrible. Worse than the Lions. Much worse, actually, now that the Lions have actually won a game. Their quarterback play has been terrible, their defense has been terrible, their offensive line has been terrible and the only bright...

I did another Q&A with a blogger of an opponent, this week with Mickey of WhoDey Fans. He asked me some questions, which I answered here.
Q: What player or unit on the Bengals has impressed you the most a quarter of the way through this season?
A: As a unit, the Bengals defense...

Yes, sadly that headline is correct. Tony Fein, the undrafted free agent rookie who was cut after training camp by the Ravens, was found dead today. The linebacker was 27 and an Iraq veteran. This was the guy who was arrested for a misunderstanding where his phone was mistaken...

I’ve been slow at getting this up, but here it is:
Joe Flacco looked great at times, shaky at others.
The offensive line is still excellent, but Jared Gaither will be a HUGE loss. He had been having an incredible season so far.
Pass defense, especially short passes, have been...

If you ask any big football fan, this game was circled on their calendar since Favre donned the Purple and Gold. Favre played 16 fruitful seasons with the Packers, and now he is on the other side, playing for their hated rivals the Minnesota Vikings. The teams have attempted to down...

This is a big game. Not a big game like the Chargers game was. It’s much bigger. For one, the last time these teams met, the Ravens were robbed of a win over the undefeated Patriots on national TV by a couple miraculous plays by the Pats and by some terrible...

Last year, the first year coach and rookie quarterback combo was brought to life by our Ravens (John Harbaugh and Joe Flacco), who made it all the way to the AFC Championship game, and the Falcons (Mike Smith and Matt Ryan) who made it to the playoffs. This year another combo has sprung...

Ravens 34, Browns 3.
What a nice win yesterday. This is the first time in Ravens history that the team has scored 30 points in 3 consecutive victories, and I bet it’s also the first time in Ravens history that a QB has had a QB rating over 95 in 3 consecutive games (95.8, 96...
