NFL Free Agent Feeding Frenzy, Part 5 – Team Needs (AFC East and AFC North)
Free agency is literally just around the corner - word is that the feeding frenzy will officially kick off at 10:00 EST Tuesday. Having run down the biggest needs for each team in the NFC, let’s turn our gaze towards the AFC. As before, I’ll lay out my thoughts on the top three needs for each...
Today in Sports History: June 17th
(The chase. Photo by Larry Ho, L.A. Times) 6/17/1960 - The Splendid Splinter drops 500th bombAt 41 years and 291 days old, Ted Williams hits the 500th home run of his illustrious career. Considered by many to be the greatest hitter of all time, Williams lost three full seasons when he fought...
Throwback Uniforms: Bills (1965) and Oilers (1960)
On August 9th, 2009, the annual Hall of Fame game took place at Canton, Ohio -- the location of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This year's competitors were the Buffalo Bills and the Tennessee Titans, two teams who originally started out in the American Football League. In commemoration of the...
Special Teams = Ravens Offense
Really, where would this team be without placekicker Matt Stover? I realize he's never kicked eight field goals in a game like Tennessee's Rob Bironas, or he hasn't kicked three last second game-winning field goals like Jason Elam has this season. However, he is the main reason that the Ravens have...
Injuries Force Ravens to Adjust
Many thanks must go to the NFL schedule-makers. The Ravens reach their Bye week after this Sunday's game at Buffalo and the break could not come at a better time and be more welcomed. Hopefully, after the Ravens defeat the Bills, they will limp into a week off to heal thyselves and prepare for...
Trent Edwards vs. JP Losman
By the title above, you'd think this was the Bills' blog, not the Ravens. However, I have a few opinions as to why the Bills have made the decision to start Trent Edwards for Sunday's game. This is for the same reason that St. Louis choose to give QB Marc Bulger another week of rest before starting...
Boller vs. McNair
What seemed to go unnoticed in the discussion about Sunday's victory is that the Ravens only scored 22 points on six Rams turnovers with their backup quarterback in for the entire game. While Kyle Boller performed adequately, he had only taken snaps with the first team offense for most of the week....
Pretenders
The Ravens officially branded themselves with the title of Pretender with yesterday's embarassing 19-14 loss in Buffalo. As poorly as they had played both yesterday and most of the season, they amazing thing is that had they won, they'd be in 1st place in the AFC North today and still only remain a...
Furious & Bewildered
Just a short post to vent my frustration as the game has just ended with the Ravens going into their Bye week with a putrid taste in their mouths after losing in Buffalo 19-14. Between the penalties and play calling, this team has relegated itself to an also-ran this season. After the Bye week,...
"The only thing we need to fear...
...is fear itself." Hmmm,....that seems to go well with today's game against the 1-4 Buffalo Bills. While the Ravens road record is only 1-2, they have themselves to blame for those losses more than their opponents. Therefore, today in Buffalo, the Ravens greatest threat will be their own...
