It’s been an interesting 2011 for the Baltimore Ravens. While the memory of the playoff loss to the Steelers still lingers in the recess of my mind, I can only look forward to what the future holds. To my fellow Ravens fans, I hope the new year brings you all joy, happiness, and a Lombardi trophy. Happy New Year. Please follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook for all news, NFL and Ravens.

I went to the Ravens-Browns game on Christmas Eve.  I have not been to a Raven’s home game since 2000 when we spanked the Jets in the season finale.  After that game, we went 4-0 in January and won the Super Bowl. I’m not calling it a trend, but the NFL better watch out.  The Ravens are undefeated in home games that I show up to, and win the Super Bowl 100% of the time when I come to the final home game of the season.  If we win it all this year – I’m just saying Bisciotti should keep [...]

Week 17 in the NFL is a week that makes grown men shiver and bite their nails. For just about every team, something big is on the line. Whether it’s the last playoff spot, the number one draft pick, or just simply pride, there’s always something to play for. This is no different for these two AFC North foes. For the Bengals, a playoff spot is almost in their grasp while for the Ravens, a much needed week off and a stadium that hasn’t seen a playoff game since 2006 awaits. You couldn’t write a better script…

The offensive woes throughout the Ravens 2011 season have many Baltimore Ravens fans very nervous about this Sunday’s matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.  The Ravens’ defensive play has dropped off over the past two games and have many  fans wondering if they have enough left in the tank to beat the Bengals and secure a second, or possibly a first round seed in the playoffs.  We can only hope the Ravens will shift into another gear and finally play the kind of consistent football we have dreamed of and desired for so many years.  The Bengals have played very well this year and are capable [...]

I may be looking too far into why the Ravens have lost four games — all on the road, mind you — this season, but I may have something here: Uniform combinations. I’m a huge fan of uniforms and pay close attention to all that I see when I watch a game. I love what college football has been doing with the Nike Pro Combat uniforms. I love all the other alternates jersey combinations that a team has at its disposal. I’m a firm believer in when a big game (prime time, rivalry, etc.) comes up on the schedule, teams [...]

Although the Baltimore Ravens would love to possess the first seed right now, they can’t complain being number two and in control of their own destiny. As we enter the final week of the NFL regular season, the Baltimore Ravens pack up their bags and head on the road to face a very tough Cincinnati Bengals team who will be sure to give them a run for their money.
