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 [...]
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. [...]
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.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
