When a 6-2 NFL team goes on the road and loses to a 2-6 team, there is bound to be plenty of blame to spread around. Such was true in the case of the Ravens yesterday, as they fell to the woeful Seahawks 22-17 at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. However, if you’re looking for a [...]

On the Ravens’ very first place from scrimmage Sunday night, Ray Rice took the handoff from Joe Flacco, ran right, cut back left, slipped a Troy Polamalu tackle, and was off to the races for what appeared to be a game-opening 76-yard touchdown run reminiscent of the one he had in the playoff game in [...]

Like most of you, at about 2:30 Sunday afternoon I was ready to put this game in the rear view mirror and never speak of it again. Just as the Ravens completely phoned in the first half of the game, I was preparing myself to do the same with this recap – something like “Ravens [...]

On Friday night, I dislocated my knee while swinging a bat during a coed softball game. I ended up on the ground in the fetal position literally screaming at the top of my lungs in pain while waiting to be carted off the field on a stretcher. That’s how my weekend started. What a fitting [...]

In the Ravens’ three wins leading up to yesterday’s 29-14 victory over the Houston Texans, they had managed a cumulative turnover margin of +9, forcing 13 while giving up the rock only four times themselves. While impressive, this kind of of takeaway ratio is unfortunately not sustainable; the ball isn’t always just going to bounce [...]

In one of the stranger games you’ll ever see (the two teams set an NFL record for return touchdowns in a single game with five total), the Ravens successfully defended their home turf against Rex Ryan and his band of blowhards, earning themselves a 34-17 victory and a share of the AFC lead at 3-1 [...]

The Ravens bounced back in a big way from their disappointing loss in Tennessee, crushing the overmatched Rams in St. Louis 37-7 yesterday, on the strength of not one, not two, but THREE first quarter Joe Flacco-to-Torrey Smith touchdown strikes. It was a hell of a coming out party for the rookie wide receiver from [...]

I’m not hungover…I’m not hungover After a night of binge drinking, you can wake up in the morning and look yourself in the mirror and say “I’m not hungover” as many times as you want – the fact of the matter is, your head will still hurt. That seems to be about what happened to [...]

For all the talk over the past eight months about how the Ravens couldn’t beat the Steelers with Ben Roethlisberger on the field, they not only beat them with #7 on the field Sunday, they beat them like they stole something. Beat them like they haven’t since at least 2006, and perhaps like they never [...]

Not from this week, but might as well have been Well, that was even uglier than expected. One of the two teams that took the field tonight looked like a team that had zero offseason organized team activities or minicamps, and was struggling to play catch up, while the other looked halfway decent for the [...]
