No First Round Pick for Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens will not make a pick on the first round of the 2012 NFL draft this year. In a strategic move, the Ravens traded their first round pick to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 2nd round and 4th round pick. E6KMFXF3CQUZ

Ravens Release Chris Carr and Lee Evans

General Manager Ozzie Newsome officially announce that the Baltimore Ravens have realeased Chris Carr and Lee Evans this past Friday. Both of these players were plagued with injuries last season. Lee Evans finished the regular season with just 4 catches for 74 yards.
Chris Carr was sidelined for 7 games last season due to a hamstring injury.

Lee Evans was a major bust last year and will be forever remembered for not holding on to the potential game winning catch in the AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots. This move by the Baltimore Ravens to release these veterans will free up some cap room for younger more reliable players.

Is Billy Cundiff the Most Hated Man in Baltimore?

After Billy Cundiff choked on the field goal in the Ravens vs Patriots AFC Championship Game on Sunday, I was very angry at first. After I saw the look on Billy Cundiff's face, my anger turned to pity. I could see the remorse and pain in his face. I started feeling sorry for the guy even though his missed field goal sealed the Ravens fate. Ray Lewis' speech after the loss made me feel better about the situation as well.

It is sad because just last season, Billy Cundiff was one of the best field goal kickers in the NFL. Billy Cundiff made 89.7% of his field goals last year but only 75.7% of his attempts this year. If the Ravens had the Matt Stover of 2000 as our kicker, we would be on our way to the Superbowl. This was probably the worse loss in Baltimore Ravens franchise history and many fans are pointing the finger at Cundiff. Billy Cundiff could very well be the most hated man in the Baltimore area right now. Like Ray Lewis said after the game however, no one person can be blamed. We as fans will have to forgive Cundiff, but we will probably never forget this loss.

Ravens Defensive Coordinator Chuck Pagano is Interviewing With Colts

It has been reported that Baltimore Ravens Defensive Coordinator Chuck Pagano is interviewing for the Indianapolis Colts head coaching job opening. Chuck Pagano has done an outstanding job in his first season in charge of the Ravens defense. Under his leadership Baltimore allowed the third-fewest points and yards in the league in 2011. The Ravens also finished fourth in rushing defense and second in pass defense. The Ravens also led the league in sacks.

Although I wish Chuck Pagano much success in advancing his career, it would be great to have him back for another season as the Ravens Defensive Coordinator. I absolute love what he did with the secondary this year. Ladarius Webb is playing at a super high level and Cary Williams was impressive as well. Both Ed Reed and Ray Lewis have announced that they planned on returning next season. I would love to see what Chuck Pagano could do with the Ravens defense next year. I am confident the Ravens will be back in the playoff hunt for the 5th straight year.

Cundiff Misses Crucial Field Goal, Patriots Win AFC

The AFC Championship shouldn't have come down to a field goal kick but it did. The Baltimore Ravens had an opportunity to win on a perfect pass from Joe Flacco to Lee Evans which was caught and then knocked loose by a Patriots defender. Had Lee Evans held on to that pass, the Ravens would probably be on their way to the Superbowl.

The Ravens however still had a chance to tie and send the game into OT with a 32 yard field goal. Billy Cundiff hooked it so wide left that it wasn't even close to going through the uprights. Many Ravens fans are already posting and tweeting that Billy Cundiff should be cut for blowing that kick. It was a heart breaking loss to say the least. Joe Flacco played well with the exception of one interception.

Final Score: Ravens 20 Patriots 23

Ravens vs Patriots Halftime Report

The Ravens vs Patriots AFC Championship Game has been very close so far. Ray Rice has been held to just 21 yards rushing in the first half. Tom Brady has been able to move the ball on the Ravens defense but doesn't look no where near as sharp as he did against the Broncos. The Ravens offense will need to get the ground game going in the second half and get some more TDs. If the offensive line gives Joe Flacco enough time, he has shown that he can make some big plays against the Patriots.

Halftime Score: Ravens 10 Patriots 13
