Podcast: Nolan and Jake talk about the future of the Ravens following brutal loss to Bears

Posted on by

Welcome to the latest episode of the Charm City Bird Watch Podcast! On tonight’s episode, Nolan McGraw and Jake McDonnell recap what was a brutal loss for the Baltimore Ravens; a 27-24 overtime defeat to the Chicago Bears.

Whether it was the turnovers, a lack of explosion/urgency on offense, or poor run defense, the Bears were the better team on Sunday. What went wrong? After such an inspiring performance on the road last week against the Raiders, why did the Ravens fall flat? The guys give their input.

There is plenty of blame to go around for the Ravens’ shaky 3-3 start, but who deserves most of the blame? Is it Joe Flacco? John Harbaugh and the coaching staff? Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens’ brass? Hear what Jake and Nolan think.

Sunday marked another example of an attendance problem at M&T Bank Stadium. What is causing the increased amount of empty chairs? Is there a solution to get more butts in seats?

Three of the Ravens’ next four games take place on the road, but the opponents are not forbidding. Can the Ravens turn things around, or will they continue their downward spiral? All of this and more on tonight’s episode.

Welcome to another episode of the Charm City Bird Watch Podcast! On today’s edition, Baltimore Ravens Columnist John Eisenberg joins the program.

Recently, Eisenberg wrote his ninth book, The Streak: Lou Gehrig, Cal Ripken Jr., and Baseball’s Most Historic Record. Eisenberg’s book dives into the record that will never be broken; Cal Ripken’s streak of 2,632 consecutive games played. Ripken surpassed Lou Gehrig’s record by 502 games. Ripken breaking the record at 2,131 games is perhaps the most significant record in Baltimore Sports history. After completing this project, what has the reaction been out of Baltimore and around the baseball world? What was the hardest part of writing this book? Does John have any other projects in the works? Hear this and more.

After talking about the book, Eisenberg gives us a breakdown of the Ravens as they get ready to face the Redskins on Thursday. What’s up with Joe Flacco? Will Ozzie Newsome make another addition with having the least amount of salary cap space in the NFL? How impressive does the defense look in camp? This makes for another jam-packed episode.
