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 [...]

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 [...]

The Ravens did what they needed to do in winning in Cincinnati for the first time since 2006 on Sunday to bring home the AFC North title and earn a playoff bye. It was the Ravens’ first AFC North crown since 2006, and the win secured their first ever 6-0 division mark. While it was [...]

The Ravens were able to cap off their first ever undefeated regular season at M&T Bank Stadium with a 20-14 win over the Cleveland Browns on Christmas Eve, but it could have come at an extremely high price as the team continues to fight for playoff position. The team comes out of their final contest [...]

The Ravens put together another horrific performance on the road in San Diego on Sunday Night Football, bringing their record away from M&T Bank Stadium in 2011 to a very mediocre 3-4. Unlike previous losses in Jacksonville and Seattle though, the Ravens were never really in this one, as the Chargers’ high-powered offense scored at [...]

After being on hiatus all season, I thought it was time for the return of the “Play Like a Raven” feature. One Raven in particular has so embodied everything that it means to Play Like a Raven here in 2011 that he pretty much deserves his own award (much like 2009 and 2010′s “Play Like [...]

Much to the delight of the contingent of Ravens fans who can’t get the Miami game in 2007 out of their minds, the Ravens came out on Sunday and did exactly what they should have done in dominating a winless Colts team for four quarters. Sure, they didn’t come out and hang 40 on the [...]

Rice ran through a crapstorm in Cleveland Finally – for the first time since way back in Week 3 – the Ravens were able to dominate an inferior opponent on the road, running roughshod over the Cleveland Browns for a 24-10 victory that wasn’t as close as the two touchdown final spread might indicate. Ray [...]

The Baltimore Ravens slogan, or team motto, if you will, for 2011 is “Relentless.” Which is exactly how San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith would likely describe the Baltimore defense were you to ask him about it this morning. The Ravens tied a franchise record with nine sacks, harassing Smith as well as bottling up [...]

The Ravens used a 31-7 scoring run between the second quarter and the start of the fourth to overcome poor play to start and finish the game, hanging on in the final seconds to beat a very scrappy Cincinnati Bengals team by a final of 31-24. Unlike so many Ravens-Bengals games in the past that [...]
