The Week 7 matchup for the Baltimore Ravens, at least on paper, doesn’t appear to be a tough one. Coming off of a brutal six game stretch to start the season, the Ravens will host the 0-5 Buffalo Bills Sunday afternoon.
The Ravens will be upset after blowing a 10 point lead to the New England Patriots last Sunday and Buffalo, as evidenced by the record, just isn’t very good.

Week three of the preseason is considered the “dress rehearsal” for NFL teams. If Saturday night was the Baltimore Ravens’ dress rehearsal the show should be a good one this season.
Quarterback Joe Flacco and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron didn’t waste any time establishing the fact that the Ravens will be able to pass the ball this year. Flacco was 21-for-34 for 229 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He completed passes to multiple receivers and even was Baltimore’s leading rusher. Flacco’s two touchdowns came to Anquan Boldin and Todd Heap over the middle of the field. In the past two seasons, Flacco may not have thrown it over the middle even with single coverage on the receiver, but he looks much improved in 2010.

The Baltimore Ravens opened their preseason amid excitement from the home fans. Baltimore looked pretty decent in a game that ultimately means nothing more than getting chemistry going between quarterback Joe Flacco and his new receivers.
Flacco connected with both Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton, who had a touchdown catch, with ease, however, it seemed like he and new acquisition Anquan Boldin were just a bit off. Flacco went completed eight of his 12 passes, including that touchdown to Clayton in the second quarter, which means he was far more accurate than he’s been in his previous two seasons. Flacco, like most of the starters, didn’t hang around long and gave way to the second- and third-string players.

For the second time in two days, the Baltimore Ravens signed a free agent as an insurance policy. On Thursday, the team agreed to terms with 35-year-old cornerback Walt Harris. Harris had previously been with the Bears, Colts, Redskins and 49ers.
He’s a 13-year veteran who missed all of last season with a knee injury.
The signing of Harris, and the previously signed Travis Fisher, gives the Ravens some depth at cornerback in the event that Lardarius Webb and Fabian Washington aren’t ready to go in time for the season opener on Sept. 13.

In a surprise move, the Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a one-year $3.8 million contract with former Rams quarterback Marc Bulger, according to multiple sources. Bulger has the chance to earn $5.3 million if all of his incentives are met.
This signing shows two things. First, the Ravens want to cover themselves in case starter Joe Flacco has injuries during the 2010 season. Flacco battled injuries for much of the second part of last season, but played through them and, in my opinion, because the Ravens’ coaching staff didn’t have enough confidence in Troy Smith or John Beck.
