Pagano Going to Indy Anyway, Cameron…STAYING?!

As if it wasn’t bad enough that the Ravens’ season came to pretty much the most disappointing end possible on Sunday evening, now the offseason appears to be getting off to just as horrible of a start. Entering the 2012 campaign, the #1 priority on the wish list of most Ravens fans is to see the team part ways with Cam Cameron and bring in a new offensive coordinator. A close second –... [Read more]

GOOBVISION – AFC Championship Recap

In easily the most somber GOOBVISION to date, Goob looks back on the heart-wrenching AFC Championship loss to the Patriots.  Read More →

Patriots 23 Ravens 20 (The MOST AGONIZING LOSS IN TEAM HISTORY Game)

Not like that. Not. Like. That. That’s the mantra I just kept repeating to myself over and over, for a good 30 minutes after the clock struck zero on the AFC Championship game, and on the Baltimore Ravens 2011-12 season. It can’t end like that. A 45-10 beating like the Patriots handed the Denver Broncos a week earlier would have been infinitely easier to swallow. Instead, to drive nearly... [Read more]

AFC Championship Preview – Ravens (13-4) @ Patriots (14-3)

Going back to the days of Brian Billick, it’s been a staple of Baltimore Ravens teams: they play better as the underdog. Linebacker Jarret Johnson, a Raven since 2003, admitted as much during an interview this week, and any devoted purple faithful can attest to it – they’ve just never handled being the favorite well. They’ll have to continue that tradition on Sunday, as the... [Read more]

GOOBVISION – Ravens @ Patriots AFC Championship Preview

Late January and Goob is still making Ravens preview videos (hopefully this will be the second to last, as opposed to the last, of the year). This time he takes aim at Tom CryBrady, Massholes, and wonders if Bernard Pollard has any more Pats-killing mojo left.  Read More →

Discount on “Money in the Bank” Shirts from Maryland’s Team

The latest great design from Maryland’s Team commemorates the Ravens’ undefeated 2011 at M&T Bank Stadium. An 8-0 regular season and 1-0 in the playoffs now gives the Ravens’ the NFL’s longest home-winning streak at 11 games. Celebrate by showing that wins in B’More are “Money in the Bank.” As always, Nest readers get a special discount! When you check... [Read more]

Podcast with Foxboro Blog

Last night I was a guest on “Kickin’ it With Keeler,” a podcast hosted by Ricky Keeler of Foxboroblog.com. Thanks to Ricky for having me on to talk Ravens/Patriots in the AFC Championship game. You can listen to the entire podcast below (I’m on from about the 45-70 minute marks). Listen to internet radio with Whats Brewin on Blog Talk Radio  Read More →

Ed Reed Calls Out Ravens Offense

As if the fan base (or at least a very vocal minority of it) wasn’t already uneasy enough entering Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Massachusetts, we have a key member of the defense now basically calling out the offense. In comments to Adam Schein and Rich Gannon of SiriusXM NFL Radio on Monday, Reed had the following to say (disclaimer: these... [Read more]

GOOBVISION – Ravens/Texans With Ravens Roost of the South

Goob was unable to be in Baltimore last weekend for Ravens/Texans because he had to go to a wedding in Georgia. However, the next best thing to being at M&T Bank Stadium might just be watching with the Ravens Roost of the South in Atlanta. After watching this video, we think you’ll find it tough to disagree.  Read More →

Who Decided to Throw the Ball Late in the Fourth Quarter Sunday?

After stagnating all afternoon following the first quarter, when they capitalized on a couple short fields following turnovers, the Ravens offense looked to have finally come alive with about seven minutes remaining in their 20-13 Divisional Playoff win over the Houston Texans. In seven plays, they had moved the ball from their own 29 yard line to the Houston 31 on the strength of a few nice Ray Rice... [Read more]

Ravens 20 Texans 13 (The HOUSTON PRESENTED US WITH A FEW PROBLEMS OF OUR OWN Game)

It’s kind of funny, sitting here a day later. If the Ravens had been able to score from about 0.25 yards out on two tries yesterday, my score prediction of 27-13 would have likely been right on. For the record, I’ve been picking scores on this site for five full seasons now (plus eight playoff games), and that would have been the first time I ever hit the nail on the head. Watching it unfold... [Read more]

Baltimore, GET UP!

Finishing up our series of pump up videos for the first home playoff game in five years, here’s one from the guys at B’More Get Up Gametime. Featuring cameos from famous Ravens fans like Captain Defense and the Purple Dame, it’s a bit of an oldie compared to the others (2009), but still a goodie. Houston, you’re in the wrong place…at the right time. Also, the generic/non-purple... [Read more]

Divisional Playoff Preview – Texans (11-6) @ Ravens (12-4)

The Houston Texans, fresh off their first playoff victory in franchise history – a 31-10 spanking of the Cincinnati Bengals – come to Baltimore for the second time this year hoping to earn a berth in the AFC Championship game. As I said several times this week, the Texans are to be commended for their first ever postseason win, and for doing it with a third string quarterback. Beating... [Read more]

GOOBVISION – Ravens/Texans Divisional Playoff Preview

The regular season was a blast – both for Goob and for the team – but now the playoffs are here and it’s time for both to really get serious.  Read More →

Another Ravens Playoff Pump Up Video

As we inch toward the Ravens’ Divisional round clash with the Houston Texans, the pump up videos just keep coming. While the last one we posted was a little slower and more subtle, this one is a stark contrast – up-beat and over the top. And of course still extremely effective. By some local musicians (Matthew Edward, Fresh Competition & Kenny Kilsworth), “Ravens Nation”... [Read more]

Playoff Video – Comin’ Home

This video was posted on the Ravens’ home page yesterday, and was an instant hit around Charm City. The music is artist Diddy – Dirty Money featuring vocals from Skylar Grey, and it is set to a montage of highlights and lowlights from the Ravens’ regular season, as well as shots of the city and M&T Bank Stadium. It’s not your typical fast-paced pump up video, but after... [Read more]

What’s Important Now: Making Houston One Dimensional

The Houston Texans are no joke, boasting the league’s #2 defense and #2 rushing attack. They ran for 188 yards last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, who were one of the best in the league at stopping opposing running backs in their own right (at least until their final two games). While the Ravens will have a decided home field advantage – including a raucous M&T Bank Stadium bowl... [Read more]

Festivus Video from Some Lady Ravens Fans

I saw this video last night while goofing around on twitter (@BMoreBirdsNest). These rabid Raven fan ladies went all out to make a very goofy and entertaining Festivus video that features a girl in a football helmet scaring a cow wearing a Ben Roethlisberger “jersey,” lots of girl-on-girl tackling (WOOO!), and a SPOT ON Joe Flacco impression. I really enjoyed it. Take a few minutes and... [Read more]

GOOBVISION – Steelers Got TEBOWED!

Of course Goob can’t help but take this opportunity to laugh maniacally over the Pittsburgh Steelers being eliminated in overtime by Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos on Sunday.  Read More →

Wild Card Weekend: Texans Coming to Baltimore, Denver Tebows Steelers

The Houston Texans succeeded in defending their home turf Saturday afternoon, winning their first playoff game in franchise history. Running back Arian Foster gashed the Cincinnati defense all day, rookie quarterback T.J. Yates made just enough plays, and fellow rookie defensive tackle J.J. Watt made perhaps the play of the postseason picking off Andy Dalton for a touchdown. The 31-10 Houston win sealed... [Read more]
