I believe the Ravens will be cursed once again...

The last time it was the Dilfer curse. :think2:Yep. After they won the Super Bowl they went after Elvis Garbage. Turning their back on a QB that knew how to "Manage the game." After this the QB position became a problem up until last season for the boys in purple. Now...the STOVER curse. Yes. The Ravens had a reliable place kicker for years. To be honest with you if if hadn't been for Stover the Ravens would not have even made the playoffs the year they won the Super Bowl because there were multiple games where they couldn't even get an offensive TD. Last year they have Stover...ok granted he had a bit of an off year. He missed a few kicks, but in my opinion was and still is one of the better kickers in the NFL. Stover was loyal to the Ravens and during this past off season waited around for them to offer him a contract. They never did. Even after having their two place kickers struggle during the preseason the Ravens still felt they were better at that position. WELL THEY ARE NOT.

A small prediction for the future. Matt Stover will be a valued asset in Indianapolis this season and make great contributions for this Colts squad. The Ravens will have a few stressful seasons upcoming at the place kicker position starting with this season.

I'm off my soapbox now, but this is the way things go sometimes when you can see the writing on the wall.

Once again....down 10 with 6mins + to go....38 yard FG missed.

On a day where Stover has contributed to his Colts.

lmao

He misses another one wide left AGAIN!

Ravens cut loose erratic kicker Hauschka

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens have cut kicker Steve Hauschka, who missed a 36-yard field goal and had a conversion blocked in Monday night's 16-0 win over Cleveland.

No replacement was immediately announced. Former Jets kicker Mike Nugent and former Cowboys kicker Billy Cundiff worked out for the team last week.

As a rookie last year, Hauschka was the backup to 40-year-old Matt Stover. The Ravens decided against inviting Stover to camp this summer. Stover is now kicking with the Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore's opponent Sunday.

Hauschka missed four field goals in nine games. The clincher came Monday, when his 36-yard try sailed wide left at the end of a 12-play drive in a scoreless game.

You could tell Hauschka knew he was a goner sitting on the bench after he missed that field goal on Monday night. He had that deer in the headlights look.

Bucking the curse today!!!
