What A Day For Ravens Fans

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...

Week 2 Impressions

I like this format for game recaps, because I get tired of the normal, blabby prose-style reviews of games, and think it’s better to give some nice, short points.  Let me know if you prefer the long, boring style. I said this during the live blog, and I’ll say it again...

Week 2: Ravens at Chargers Preview

Opening Thoughts The Chargers come into this game after pulling one out from the Raiders when they didn’t play well at all.  The Ravens come into this game after pulling one out from the Chiefs, when their offense played very well, but their defense did not.  This game is going...

Week 1: Ravens vs. Chiefs Impressions

Here are some talking points I got out of the game today. Honestly, I’m feeling too lazy to post a full recap. Joe Flacco was awesome. What impressed me most was his mobility, stepping up in the pocket, scrambling, throwing outside the pocket. Just an incredible performance...
