Wrapping up our “Remembering the Regular Season” series is a memory that is yet to turn even a week old. Last Sunday, in week 17, Ray Rice broke touchdown runs of 70 and 51 yards on his way to a 191 yard day that went a long way to helping the Ravens secure their first [...]

With a 20-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 16 (a game that was much closer than it should have been), the Ravens capped off their first ever undefeated season at M&T Bank Stadium. Baltimore, since coming into the league in 1996, has still never posted a losing record at home (they’ve gone 4-4 [...]

The Indianapolis Colts came to town in Week 14, but it certainly wasn’t the typical horseshoes we were used to seeing. Indy entered the game winless, at 0-12, as they had played the entire season without Peyton Manning. Many Ravens fans were having nightmares, remembering the 2007 season when B’More went to Miami and lost [...]

This past November, the Ravens played in their first ever Thanksgiving game. It was the NFL Network’s prime time game, the one that fans all over the country would have to fight their tryptophan comas to stay up and watch. As it turned out the made-for-TV storyline of brother vs. brother won out over the [...]

Chronologically, this is great memory #5 in our “Remembering the Regular Season” series, but I have a feeling it is #1 in the hearts of just about every Ravens’ fan. For the second consecutive year, Joe Flacco threw a final-minute touchdown pass at Heinz Field to beat the Steelers and send the yinzers home cryin’ [...]

As the second quarter of the Ravens’ Week 8 game drew to a close, it certainly didn’t look like any “great” memories would be made that day – not for Ravens fans anyway…maybe for Cardinals fans. Arizona had come into Baltimore and, on the strength of a sack-fumble deep in Baltimore territory, a Torrey Smith [...]

Rex Ryan was the Ravens’ defensive coordinator from 2005-2008. Since he left following the 2008 season to be the head coach of the New York Jets, he has turned their defense into one very similar to that of the Ravens (though they had a bit of a down year in 2011). While the two teams [...]

Many Ravens fans were elated when former Maryland Terrapin wide receiver Torrey Smith fell to Baltimore in the second round of the 2011 draft. We had watched Torrey torch ACC defenses during his time in College Park and he seemed like the perfect burner to compliment Anquan Boldin and let Joe Flacco’s shoulder howlitzer unleash [...]

While they’ve been in the playoffs every year that we’ve been around save for one, this is the first time since the Nest has been in existence that the Ravens have earned a postseason bye. We find ourselves unsure of how to best fill the time. Instead of letting the wheel-spinning “moves” that the Orioles [...]

The Ravens’ defense managed to stay relatively healthy in 2008, and when the next man needed to step up, there were plenty of capable bodies.  In Rex Ryan’s final year as defensive coordinator, his unit finished #2 overall in the NFL, allowing only 261.1 yards per game. Defensive Line The D-line had another very strong [...]
