Funny how a team that looked so good in the first three games of the season can suddenly look so bad, but I know that's life in the NFL. The Ravens started out against inferior competition which may have skewed our outlook just a bit. But when the Patriots and Bengals (the Bengals...
Ravens stumble against the Bengals
October 11, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
Maybe stumble is too soft a word, perhaps fell on their faces might be a little more accurate. The Ravens faltered in all phases of the game against an opponent that was more then ready to jump on the opportunities. This was a triple loss for the Ravens. They lost a home game, the...
Week 5 - Ravens vs Bengals
October 09, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
This game will help set the tone for the AFC North this season. The Ravens are coming off of a heartbreaking loss to the Pat's, while the Bengals won out over Cleavland in overtime. It would seem to me that the Ravens just might be a little more then fired up for this game. The...

While many of us are still feeling the heart break over the loss to the Patriots and their feminine quarterback Tommi Brady, the season moves on. Their was some bad news after that game, number one the announcement that Brendon Ayanbadejo was put on the injured reserve list. He had...
NFL Week 4: Ravens - Patriots Wrap Up

Some thoughts on yesterday's Ravens - Patriots game.
-I
never thought I'd ever say this, but I would have liked to see
Baltimore run the ball more than they did yesterday. There were only 17
rushing attempts the entire game. Credit New England, who shut down the
run for most...
Ravens lose heart breaker to Pats
October 04, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
Well, it was a heart breaker for Raven fans. It was a game that saw the momentum change time and time again. It came down to a 4th down pass from Joe Flacco to Mark Clayton a pass that should have been caught, that ended the Ravens chance to pull out a victory. Clayton wasn't...
Ravens vs Patriots, should be the real deal

Ravens Roost
| Comments
While many have been saying the Ravens haven't had a true test this season (as if the Chargers were a pushover) that will end this Sunday. The Ravens travel to Foxborough to face the Patriots, in a stadium they have never won in before. With this Ravens team I'm not too certain...

Are the Ravens for real?
September 28, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
This is the question that is being bandied about all throughout the media, and by fans in general. Is this Ravens team as good as they appear? Everyone knows that the Ravens have long been identified as a team with a mediocre offense and a suffocating defense. That M.O. got them to...
Ravens annihilate the Browns 34-3
September 27, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
I think everyone knew the Browns weren't a very good team coming in, but having the familiarity of being a division rival it stood a good chance of being a close game. Not! No, this one was a bit of an exercise between men and boys, the Ravens being the men of course. The game...
Week 3, Ravens host Browns
September 24, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
Having the number one power ranking on ESPN's website means nothing when you're going
against a division rival. Division opponents know each other, they know each others tendencies, they know who's a player and who isn't. This isn't an automatic win for the Ravens...

I know everyone is still upset with the Ravens secondary giving up over 460 yards to Phillip Rivers and his receiving corps, and I am too. I had a hard time watching Fabian Washington play behind a receiver that is 7 inches taller then he is. If you have to go up against a taller opponent...
Ravens outlast Chargers in cardiac win
September 20, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
The Ravens came into the heat of San Diego and battled their way to a hard fought 31-26 victory . While the game was a little less then 4 hours, I think I may have aged 4 years. This one was everything that was promised and then some. If nothing else it showed that the Ravens can play...
Ravens face first big test in San Diego
September 18, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
I've heard many people say that the Ravens win against the Chiefs wasn't such a big deal, after all it was only the Chiefs and that didn't count for much. I beg to differ, Kansas City has a whole new scheme this season and a new coach who had them playing for 60 minutes...
Steps the Ravens need to take if they want to repeat
September 14, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
It's been said that football can be a very simple game, and at the same time one of the most complex ever invented. You can look at it as run the ball effectively, throw the ball effectively, and prevent the other team from doing the same. If only it were that simple. The modern...
Ravens outlast Kansas City for opening day win
September 13, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
This was a bit of a strange game for a number of reasons. In the first quarter it looked like the Ravens were going to steamroll the Chiefs as the Ravens offense seemed to march down the field at will, and defensively the Ravens shut down everything the Chiefs threw at them.
At the...
Opening day draws near
September 08, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
At times I didn't think it would ever get here, certainly not over the long months of February, March, April and May. June and July aren't that bad because you have the OTA's and then training camp and the exhibition games. But finally the NFL season is about to begin,...
Ravens backups prove to be too much for the Falcons
September 03, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
I must say I was surprised that John Harbaugh choose to put his backups in for the entire game, minus a first start for Terrell Suggs and some more work for Demetrius Williams. The Ravens backup defenders held Falcon quarterback sensation Matt Ryan to -3 yards, while the backup offense...
The Ravens starters have been dominant
August 30, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
I realize that pre-season game wins don't count for much, after all only 4 teams that have had 4 wins in pre-season have made it to the Super Bowl. But what I'm seeing with this years Ravens is dominance, on both defense and offense. The defense shuts out the Redskins, by no...
The Ravens look for better execution against the Panthers
August 28, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
The pre season is all about evaluation, looking at your veteran players and how they look, and more importantly assesing the abilities of the rookie players from the draft and free agency. The rookies are the future of any team, and figuring out which ones have promise is anything...
Ravens still have a few problems to solve
August 26, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
After digesting Monday nights game against the Jets I came away with quite a few observations. First off the Ravens defense looked overpowering for the first ten minutes, then lost its edge. The Ravens offense looked great for the first ten minutes then struggled a bit. What is it...
Ravens training camp is a success
August 23, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
Last season the team was coming off of an embarrassing 5-11 record and when camp started they learned that their starting quarterback had decided to retire. They were also being led by a rookie head coach and none of them knew what to expect. Those concerns seem like old history now...
The Ravens shut down the Redskins
August 14, 2009 by
Ravens Roost
| Comments
Even though they were playing without some of their star players the Ravens were able to dominate the Washington Redskins 23-0 before 70,723 rabid fans at M&T Bank Stadium Friday night. Joe Flacco moved the offense down the field on both of his series, though the team only came...
