Someone tweeted last night something along the lines of “if this is the New York Giants’ dress rehearsal, they had better hope for a whole new wardrobe come Week 1.”
Well, if that was the case for Tom Coughlin’s team, then the exact opposite rings true for John Harbaugh’s squad. The Ravens came out firing [...]

What is it about the Ravens that seems to bring out the best in the Colts’ defense time and time again? Year after year, Indy has a dog-crap defense, and year after year, that dog-crap defense looks like a mighty combination of the 1985 Bears and 2000 Ravens when the boys from B’More line [...]

Ray MF’in Rice!
Again justifying his place as namesake of this weekly award, Ray Rice set the tone for the Ravens’ Wild Card victory over the New England Patriots with his 83-yard touchdown on the very first play from scrimmage. For the day, Mighty Mouse had 159 yards on 22 carries and 2 touchdowns. [...]

Wes “Tiny Tim” Welker hobbled out to midfield with the captains for the coin toss.
Matt Slater stopped Jalen Parmele in his tracks at the Ravens’ 17 yard line on the opening kickoff.
Those two moments, both occurring prior to about 1:05 PM Eastern Time, would be the last semblance of good feelings for every chowdah-swilling Masshole [...]

Ray Rice had a solid, if unspectacular, day, picking up 70 yards on 14 carries, and adding another 19 on four receptions. For the season, Mighty Mouse ended up with 1,339 yards on the ground, a 5.3 average, 702 receiving yards, and 8 total touchdowns. Ray Rice defined “Play Like a Raven” in [...]

It wasn’t pretty, that’s for sure, but the end result of Sunday’s game in Oakland is inarguable: The Baltimore Ravens are IN the playoffs for the second consecutive season. That’s now 2/2 for John Harbaugh and Joe Flacco, just the second time in Ravens history that they have advanced to the postseason in [...]

The Weekly Honor’s namesake again lived up to his billing, gashing the Steelers’ (then) #1 rush defense for 141 yards on 30 carries. He had only 1 catch for 14 yards though, and his fumble on the play after fellow 2008 second-round draft pick Rashard Mendenhall had done the same really hurt the Ravens.
Still, [...]

I honestly can’t remember a game that included such ridiculous stomach-churning, caused by great highs followed immediately by crushing lows.
With the Ravens having just cut Pittsburgh’s lead to 20-17 in the third quarter, on the first play after the kickoff, Dominique Foxworth intercepted Baby Ben and returned in 46 yards for a touchdown. Suddenly, [...]

Played Like a Raven – Dominique Foxworth

Sure, Natty Joe was the easy choice. In setting career highs for QB rating and touchdown passes, he played like a Raven on Sunday, no doubt. However, I thought I’d go ahead and recognize Dom Fox here, considering how often this space has been used to skewer [...]

Wow, is Jay Cutler bad. This morning, I had this exchange with a friend regarding da Bears’ QB:
Me: sulksulksulksulk
Friend: that guy is a one trick pony
me: sulking?
Friend: interceptions
hey.. i’m known for my interceptions

Me: haha
everything you’ve heard about me is true
Friend: maybe he has another undiagnosed disease: he needs glasses
me: hahaha
colorblind
“ya know, this would [...]
