The Rematch: Ravens vs Patriots

January 20, 2013 by RavensBlogger in NFL News, Ravens News | Comments Off on The Rematch: Ravens vs Patriots

It is not very often that you get to see a rematch of the previoys year’s AFC Championship game. Today that will happen in the Ravens vs Patriots matchup. Last year’s AFC championship gam ended badly for the Baltimore Ravens due to a Lee Evans mistake in the end zone as well as a missed kick by Billy Cundiff.

This year may be different however. The Ravens have a great new rookie field goal kicker in Justin Tucker. They have also added speedster WR Jacoby Jones to the roster. The Baltimore Ravens also have a new offensive coordinator now and have been averaging 28 points per game since Jim Caldwell took over the offense.

We all know that Tom Brady and the New England Patriots can put up some points. The key to beating New England is by keeping close and then making the needed stops on defense. The Ravens usually play the Patriots very tough and if any team can go up to New England and win it is the Baltimore Ravens.

Long Live Justin Tucker!

September 24, 2012 by RavensBlogger in Game Recaps, NFL News, Ravens News | Comments Off on Long Live Justin Tucker!

If you had any doubts how rookie kicker Justin Tucker would perform under a pressure situation, you can put those doubts to rest right now! Justin Tucker kicked the game winning field goal with 2 seconds on the clock to give the Baltimore Ravens the revenge that they were seeking against the New England Patriots.

Joe Flacco led the game winning drive which led to Justin Tucker’s game winning field goal. Wide receiver Torrey Smith gave an inspiring performance catching 2 TD passes with 127 yards receiving despite the fact that his younger brother was killed in a motorcycle accident less than 24 hours before the game. Joe Flacco passed for 382 yards and 2 TDs and Ray Rice rushed for 101 yards and a TD.

Final Score: Ravens 31 Patriots 30

Ravens Seek Revenge Against Patriots Tonight

September 24, 2012 by RavensBlogger in NFL News, Ravens News, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Ravens Seek Revenge Against Patriots Tonight

Nobody can forget the heartbreaking loss that the Baltimore Ravens suffered against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game last season. Well, tonight the Baltimore Ravens will have the opportunity to get revenge in primetime Sunday Night football. The Ravens will get this golden this opportunity in front of a packed home crowd at M&T Bank Stadium.

Both the Ravens and the Patriots are coming off of losses. The Ravens will try to rebound after a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last week. The Ravens should have won last week but somehow decided to not run the ball with a 10 point halftime lead against the Eagles. The Ravens vs Patriots game will probably be the most anticipated NFL football matchup this week and it should turn out to be a good game.

Ravens Endure Heartbreaking Loss to Patriots

January 23, 2012 by RavensBlogger in Game Recaps, NFL News, Ravens News, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Ravens Endure Heartbreaking Loss to Patriots

The Baltimore Ravens have been to the playoffs for 4 straight years with Joe Flacco as our quarterback. Each of those four years has ended with a heartbreaking loss in the playoffs. Including yesterday’s 23 to 20 loss, the Ravens have loss in the AFC Championship game twice in the last four years. I’m not sure which playoff loss hurts the most. I don’t know if it was last year’s collapse to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2nd half or this loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship.

I do know that I am proud of my team. Many people didn’t give the Baltimore Ravens a chance against the Patriots and their powerful offense run by Tom Brady. They did not believe that the Ravens defense could stop Tom Brady from throwing any touchdown passes but they did. Nobody thought that Joe Flacco could out play Tom Brady statistically in this game but he did. Flacco had a 95.4 QB rating while Tom Brady had a low 57.5 QB rating. I mean who thought we would sweep the AFC North Division at the beginning of the season? Who knew that the Ravens would go undefeated at home for the first time in franchise?

In short, this loss was heartbreaking to say the least but there are several things to be proud of this season if you are a Ravens fan.

Ravens vs Patriots Preview

January 22, 2012 by RavensBlogger in Game Recaps, NFL News, Ravens Highlights, Ravens News | Comments Off on Ravens vs Patriots Preview

It will be the classic matchup of offense vs defense. The Baltimore Ravens have one of the best defenses in the NFL while the New England Patriots have one of the best offenses in the NFL. The last time the Baltimore Ravens played the New England Patriots in the playoffs, the Ravens not only won the game, but blew the Patriots out 33 to 14. Most sports analysts, however, are picking Tom Brady and the New England Patriots to win this time. The Patriots are heavy favorites to beat the Baltimore Ravens today in the AFC Championship game and advance to the Superbowl.

The last time the Ravens beat the Patriots in the playoffs they did so despite a poor statistical performance from Joe Flacco. Ray Rice had a big day that game and broke one for a TD on the first play from scrimmage. If you are counting the Ravens out in this game, take a look at what happened last time these 2 teams met in the playoffs in New England:
