Game. Was. Awesome.  Remember our posts hounding on the team for everything and demanding more about two weeks ago? Well, maybe some Ravens read them.  The offense was mostly dominant, the defense really stepped up and the special teams was the best it’s been in a while.  We beat the team that was undefeated, [...]http://ebonybird.com/2009/11/01/ravens-30-referees-7-broncos-0/feed/2http://ebonybird.com/2009/11/01/week-8-predictions/RavensPredictionsweek 8caseydurkinSun, 01 Nov 2009 07:55:07 PSThttp://ebonybird.com/?p=1557 Hello everyone.

If the Broncos win, they’re 7-0 and can pad their lead even further in the AFC West.  The Ravens NEED to win to stay in contention for the AFC North and the Wild Card race.  Once they get past this game, it does get a bit easier.  But if they [...]http://ebonybird.com/2009/11/01/week-8-broncos-vs-ravens-preview/feed/0http://ebonybird.com/2009/10/31/is-joe-flacco-being-overused/Blog NewsRavensFlacco overuseFlacco statsJoe FlaccoJoe BarnesSat, 31 Oct 2009 07:49:04 PDThttp://ebonybird.com/?p=1553Last season, as a rookie, almost everyone agreed that Joe Flacco had a great year.  He managed games, he got wins and he almost led he team to a Super Bowl.  All in his first season.  With that came big expectations, and this year he has filled them, minus the winning games part the last [...]http://ebonybird.com/2009/10/31/is-joe-flacco-being-overused/feed/0http://ebonybird.com/2009/10/28/around-the-blogosphere/RavensJoe BarnesWed, 28 Oct 2009 17:07:21 PDThttp://ebonybird.com/?p=1551Again, sorry about the lack of posts.  It’s been three weeks of tons of work, computer issues and a bad internet connection.
