The Baltimore Ravens 2013 Season

The Ravens were surprisingly in it at the end of the season, but they need the off-season to regroup. I don't know if it was the loss of Matt Birk or what, but the offensive line was truly terrible this season. They couldn't make a hole to get the running game going and they couldn't stop defenders from pressuring and sacking Joe. After the tumultuous off-season they had, and the people they lost, for me, the offensive line was the last thing I'd think the Ravens would have a problem with. A shame.

It didn't help that the coach and offensive coordinator refused to adjust to the fact that the offensive line sucked. Running the draw a hell of a lot (seriously, are the outsides of the field foreign objects for the running back?) on 1st down even when they'd be down by a lot. Head-scratching decisions from John Harbaugh and Co.

Then after they picked up steam, Joe Flacco had his knee hit. It was obvious that this pre-occupied Joe Flacco and the coaching staff the last two games of the season. Combine cautious play with a crappy offensive line and you've got a disaster.

I think the best way for the Raven's playoff streak to end would be to win the Super Bowl the previous season, and that's exactly what they did. Can't be too mad after that.

Until next season.

/Seahawks to win it all.

//Must see them play the Broncos though.

Football is BACK! (sort of. . .)

August 12th. On this day, in 1914, the United Kingdom declared war on Austria-Hungary and in 2010 football unofficially officially started (Is that a double negative?)

The preseason started with a number of games this Thursday night. Among the headliners were the New England Patriots taking on the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. Also the nationally televised Carolina Panthers versus the Baltimore Ravens. Now I'm from Baltimore so you already know I'm ecstatic. To see the Ravens play for the first time in some organized game was thrilling and to see them win is great. Plus, the fact that they are getting so much national coverage is exciting. Not only did they open up Monday Night Football's preseason games they will also open Monday Night Football's first season game when they go against the New York Jets in the new Meadowlands stadium. It is just going to be a good year for football, I can feel it.

And as the preseason continues we hope for no injuries and think good thoughts. More football news is to follow. J out.

Brett Farve!? Can't He Make Up His *bleep* *bleep* Mind!

Obviously Brett Farve needs to hear that song that Ashley sang on that one episode of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". He's back again for his 19th season of consecutive football and a 2nd season flip flopping. When will this guy go away. He sticks around just like Dick Wolf and the original "Law and Order". Although I have never metioned it. . .Brett Farve after saying he WOULD NOT return for another season, he did anyway. Psssh. He changes his mind more than traffic light. Great to see his consecutive reign continue, but when he says he's going to do something. . .HE NEEDS TO DO IT! J out.
