Ray Lewis may have been right about the Ravens lack of leadership. Ray Lewis made headlines for this comment after the Jacoby Jones incident. Several Ravens players were offended by the comment , but Ray Lewis was probably right. I mean the way the Ravens played last week against the Buffalo Bills showed lack of leadership. The offensive line played horrible. Wide receivers were dropping passes. Joe Flacco threw the ball 50 times with 5 interceptions. The Baltimore Ravens completely abandoned the running which we all know usually results in a loss. The Ravens have yet to win a game on the road and all this points to lack of leadership.
I mean how can you replace a leader like Ray Lewis? If you don’t know what kind of leadership Ray Lewis brought when he was here then check out the following video:
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
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

Today’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Denver Broncos will feature the two legendary football icons Ray Lewis and Peyton Manning. This could possibly be the last NFL game for Ray Lewis. Let’s hope not!!! The Ravens will need to keep the same intensity that they had last week against the Indianapolis Colts.
Peyton Manning has given the Baltimore Ravens a lot of problems in the past. Let’s hope the defense can put some pressure on him and let’s hope Ray Lewis keeps them fired up. The Ravens will also need a strong running game and Joe Flacco will have to be on point in order for the Ravens to win this one in Denver.
Even though the Baltimore Ravens got the victory last week against the Dallas Cowboys, it proved to be costly as Ray Lewis and Ladarius Webb were injured and will be out for the rest of the season. The Ravens defense has given up a huge amount of yards this season on the ground even when these 2 players were healthy. The Ravens defense will be looking to prove that they can stop the run and that they can step up despite the loss of 2 key players on defense. The Ravens offense will be looking to prove that they can continue to carry the team.
The Houston Texans will be looking to bounce back after a devastating loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Texans will be looking to prove that they are Superbowl contenders in the AFC by knocking off the Baltimore Ravens for the first time in the history of their organization. They may also be seeking a little revenge against the Ravens since the Ravens knocked them out of the playffs last season.
This is the matchup that all the analysts are talking about this week and it should be a good game.
