Looks like the Baltimore Ravens will lose superstar safety Ed Reed to the Houston Texans. Although Ed Reed’s contract has not been signed yet, it is being reported that he has accepted the offer and plans to go play for the Houston Texans next year.
Ed Reed will surely be missed here in Baltimore. Below is a clip od Ed Reed’s speech at the Ravens parade and Superbowl 47 victory celebration:
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
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:
The City of Baltimore will host a parade today in downtown Baltimore to celebrate the Baltimore Ravens winning the Superbowl.

Come on out and show your support for the World Champion Baltimore Ravens!

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!
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
Jonathan Odgen will be a member of the 2013 NFL Hall of Fame class. Ogden was an incredible offensive lineman and free of nature. He is no doubt the best offensive lineman in Baltimore Ravens history.
Here are some highlights of Jonathan Ogden’s career:
Since Ray Lewis announced that this will be his last ride, we have seen nothing but superior football from the Baltimore Ravens. It seems like Ray Lewis may have saved his best for last over the past few weeks. This isn’t easy to do because Ray Lewis has so many great highlights over the course of his career.
You can see some of the Ray Lewis highlights in the video below:

Everybody doubted them last week Everybody doubted them this week. The Baltimore Ravens are a team of destiny however
and are going to the Superbowl! The Ravens showed what a healthy defense can do getting Tom Brady to throw 2 interceptions and holding the New England Patriots to just 13 points.
Joe Flacco, on the otherhand, looked flawless and threw 3 marvelous TD pass despite windy conditions. Ray Rice also ran for a TD score.
The Ravens are going to another Superbowl!!!
Final Score: Ravens 28 Patriots 13
