It is Showtime: Ravens vs Broncos

Several questions will be answered this season for the Baltimore Ravens. Here are some key questions that we might get an answer to in the Ravens vs Broncos game tonight:

1. Is Joe Flacco worth the new contract?

It will be interesting to see which Joe Flacco shows up tonight. Either the regular season Flacco or the post season Flacco during the Superbowl run. If Joe Flacco can defeat Peyton Manning two times in a row then it would be a major accomplishment.

2. How good will our new defense be?

The defense will definitely get tested tonight going against the Broncos offense and their 3 top notch receivers. It will be interesting to see how our secondary will hold up without Ed Reed.

3. Who will step up at the wide receiver position?

With Anquan Boldin gone and Dennis Pitta injured, it will be interesting to see who emerges as the 2nd receiver behind Torrey Smith.

The Ravens vs Broncos will be a good game to start off the NFL football season but it is a shame that the game will not be played in Baltimore where it belongs.

Ravens Cut Tandon Doss and Bobby Rainey

The Baltimore Ravens had to make some tough decision to get down to the 53 man roster by Saturday evening. Some of the well known players that were cut by the Ravens included wide receiver Tandon Doss and running back Bobby Rainey. Both Tandon Doss and Bobby Rainey played fairly well in the last pre-season game. Bobby Rainey played especially well scoring two touchdowns in the game.

Many fans were upset that Bobby Rainey was let go since he played so well. One thing is for sure and that is that the Ravens will have plenty of new faces this year. It will be very interesting to see who emerges as key players this year. Joe Flacco will most certainly have some new toys to play with at the wide receiver position.

RavensBlogger.com Awards for Ravens 2012 Season

Ok it is time to announce the RavensBlogger.com Player Awards for the Baltimore Ravens 2012 season. The awards are as follows:

Most Improved Ravens Player Award – This award goes to Paul Kruger. Paul Kruger stepped up his game in 2012 and became the leading pass rusher for the Baltimore Ravens. With Terrell Suggs out for most of the season, Kruger led the Ravens with 9 sacks. It is no surprise that he got a huge deal from the Cleveland Browns in free agency. Paul Kruger’s Career Stats

Ravens Rookie of the Year Award – This award goes to Justin Tucker. After what happened with Billy Cundiff previously, acquiring rookie kicker Justin Tucker was a huge blessing. Tucker showed he could handle the pressure and was 100% on kicks that were over 50 yards going 4 for 4! He was 100% on PATs and 90.9 % accurate overall on field goals. Justin Tucker’s Career Stats

Ravens Offensive Player of the Year Award – This award goes to Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco threw for more yards in 2012 than he did in any previous year and he ended up with 3,812 yard passing. Although there were some inconsistencies during the regular season this may have been due the scheme under former offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. Flacco flourished under Caldwell in the playoffs. The Baltimore Ravens organization obviously believe in him since they gave him a lucrative contact making him the highest paid player in the NFL! Joe Flacco’s Career Stats

Ravens Defensive Player of the Year Award – This award goes to Bernard Pollard. Bernard Pollard was our designated hitman on defense. When I think of the slogan “Play like a Raven” Bernard Pollard was the first name that came to mind. Pollard led the Baltimore Ravens defense with 98 tackles. He also hit the hardest on the team no doubt. Bernard Pollard’s Career Stats

Ravens Leadership Award – This award goes to none other than Ray Lewis for the second year in a row. Ray Lewis will probably go down as the best on the field leader to ever play the game. You all saw what happened when he came back from injury and announced his retirement. The team stepped up and went on a Superbowl run under his leadership. Ray Lewis’ Career Stats

Anquan Boldin Traded to the 49ers

Well we knew that the Baltimore Ravens wouldn’t be able to keep everyone. Especially after rewarding quarterback Joe Flacco by making him the highest paid player in the NFL. The news broke that Anquan Boldin has been traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a sixth round draft pick. Losing Boldin will be a huge loss on offense. He made some huge plays during the Superbowl run. We will miss the leadership and fire that he brought to the offense.

Below you can see some Anquan Boldin highlights:

Baltimore Ravens: Superbowl Champions

All hail the Superbowl Champion Baltimore Ravens. Despite having to survive a bazaar power outage that gave the San Francisco 49ers a chance to regroup and spotting the 49ers 2 points by giving up a safety, the Ravens win Superbowl 47!

Ravens win by score of 34 to 31 in what turned out to be the longest game in Superbowl history!

Superbowl 47: Ravens vs 49ers Analysis

The San Francisco 49ers are the favorites to win the Superbowl today. The 49ers have a rookie quarterback however. This rookie quarterback has never faced the likes of Ray Lewis or Ed Reed.

Have people forgotten how this Baltimore Ravens defense completely shut out the New England Patriots in the second half of the AFC Championship game. Have they forgotten how the Baltimore defense dominated the first Harbowl?

Both teams have alot of weapons on offense and good defenses. I am looking for Ray Lewis to get his 2nd ring though and Joe Flacco to get more respect throughtout the league when the Ravens win the Superbowl. I am drinking the purple Kool-Aid and I am taking the Rvens all the way.

The Ravens have come much too far to lose this game. If Jim Harbaugh beats us with a rookie quarterback then the 49ers deserve to win.

Predition: Ravens 24 49ers 17

Ravens vs Broncos Halftime Report

So far Joe Flacco and Peyton Manning have been going toe to toe and blow for blow! Champ Bailey can not handle the speed of WR Torrey Smith who has already caught 2 TD passes for the Baltimore Ravens.

Ray Rice although running okay, has not been much of a factor in the first half. The Ravens will need to get him more involved in the 2nd half.

Halftime Score: Ravens 21 Broncos 21

Can the Ravens Sweep the Pittsburgh Steelers?

The Baltimore Ravens can clinch the AFC North Division today by beating the Pittsburgh Steelers. A win today would also clinch the 2nd season sweep of the Steelers in the past 2 years. This is a great opportunity for the Baltimore Ravens to help put the Pittsburgh Steelers out of their misery.

Big Ben will not be playing today for the Steelers and the Ravens will be playing at home where they haven’t loss in 2 seasons. I expect the Ravens to win this game and become the AFC North Champions today.

Go Ravens!!!
