Very few NFL games are never in doubt. This was one of them. My observations:
The 2 Maryland guys had stellar performances today. Foxworth intercepted Brady Quinn early and set the Ravens’ first TD. Jared Gaither had 2 key blocks that opened the way for Willis McGahee’s 2 TDs.
#5 continues to be real steady. Judgement day for Joe and the offense occurs next Sunday at Foxboro.
Too bad about the Steelers losing again. Albeit without the idiotic “prevent defense … Read More »

Last Thursday night, I had the pleasure of being at the Sports Boosters/ Press Box Night with Eric DeCosta, director of player personnel of the Ravens. To the best of my memory here is tale of the drafting of Joe Flacco.
One of the Ravens area scouts called Eric and told him to take a much closer look at Flacco, ie this scout believed Flacco was far superior then most people thought. DeCosta first watched Flacco take apart the Navy … Read More »
Some observations on Sunday’s great victory:
There are obviously some secondary problems on this team or Phil Rivers just was incredible.
Hauschka’s kickoffs are superb.
Is it me or is Willis outplaying Ray Rice?
How in the world could Mark Clayton drop that pass in the 4th quarter.
On McGahee’s 2nd TD run Jared Gaither flattened his man like a pancake.
Look out for the Jets–Rex Ryan has really motivated that team.
Flacco was great—-again!!!
Is it me or does … Read More »
Is the theory give the QB time and he will find somone open? In a stellar performance , #5 was 26-43 –3TDS, 307 yards, 2 clutch drives and generally had his way. The closeness of the game belies the domination from the Ravens. Two fluke tds kept a game KC team aroung. IAre the Ravens Super Bowl Contenders—way too early to tell dspite all the hoopla. Some observations:
Great explosive crowd
Ray Rice seems to get better every game.
The Titans gave Ben unlimited time to pass and wound up on the losing end of a 13-10 overtime non thriller. No one will do the Ravens dirty work for them. We must take the Steelers down ourselves. hines Ward almost blew the game for Pitt with a 4th quarter fumble.
I almost choked on my egg roll last night. I was watching an ESPN NFL preview show and actually heard Chris Mortensen, reknown NFL expert actually buck the Steeler bandwagon and select the Ravens to go to the promise land.
Everyone has seen the famous David Tyree Super Bowl catch in 2008. Truly one of the greatest catches of all time: catching the ball above your head against his helmet with Rodney Harrison trying to knock it out. The Giants released Tyree after this year’s preseason, and the Ravens have worked him out in their camp. Plus, Tyree has passed a … Read More »
I was talking with Gary Attman, a big time Maryland supporter and booster, last night when he brought up a great point to me. Ozzie took a lot of heat for passing on the likes of DHB, Crabtree, Hakeem Nicks, etc. Though the Ravens need a deep threat, Ozzie let all of these speedsters go and concentrated on the Offensive line. Exhibition season means very little but the quality of protection for #5 allowed him to destroy every defense he … Read More »
