Ratbirds won

Watch...we will miss playoffs. The two OT losses will come back and haunt us. I hope not.

The game against Minnesota is fairly meaningless. Well, I assume the Pats will beat the Ravens. So, I guess it isn't. It all ultimately comes down to week 17, though.

 

[jgreene95]

I don't think Pats will win in Baltimore. Not this time of year and with that crowd.

It all comes down to week 17. God help us.

After Sunday night's effort, or lack thereof, there is zero chance we will win a "win and in-lose and out" game against the ravens. I don't care if the game is at home.

I'd say our best chance is for the Pats to beat the Ravens and us to beat Minnesota.

The way my luck is, the one time I will have to root for the Pats to win, they'll get killed.

If we don't win out from here I'd rather miss the playoffs. If we can't win now we won't win then.

Yeah, we got college basketball to look forward to....

Oh yeah. Shit.

This is starting to remind me of 09. When Chris Henry died (today as a matter of fact), the team was spent and lost all its momentum, and got embarrassed by the Jets.
While no one has died this year (yet), I have a feeling the Steeler game took something out of them, so even with a Pats win Sunday, they will limp into the playoffs, and be upset by a Dolphins or Ravens team who are both playing much better than the Bengals.

 

[DanBengalfan]

Kevin Huber LOOKS like he's been hit by a truck, with all the injuries to the DB I'd say it was just smoothed over the entire team. playoff teams don't give up 21 points in one quarter to an aging steelers team that couldn't even beat a rug with a baseball bat.

If they do lose like that, it serves as a "wake up call" and they whoop ass from that point forward, and we all know that isn't the response we expect from the Bengals.

Ravens are even up with the Pats since 2005 and recently have won the past two meetings.This one is at M&T it will be a playoff game environment for NE.

It's December boys scoot over.

 

[NCBengal]

Let's not give up just yet. Sunday night was weird to me with this team. And to me a lot of what was the play calling. We had horrible luck too like the Huber hit, no penalties called on that punt return, that fluke play of Peerman's fair catch etc.

It ain't over yet. The Ravens kicked 6 FGs last night to win. A win is a win but still... they are no offensive juggernaut. Honestly my only concern are our coaches at this point. Harbaugh is by far a better coach than Marvin could ever hope to be. And I have no idea what Gruden is doing.

We just need to regroup and focus on winning games. The rest will take care of itself.

What makes u think NE beats us at home. We are tied with them in recent history 3-3,or 4-4, and we have won the last 2 meetings. Also, did u watch them last week in Miami w/o Gronk? they are good but their defense is very beatable. Very.

Sounds like a wish.

It will be a good game, no doubt. Their defense is beatable, but frankly, the Ravens offense is not very good. Eventually, not scoring TD's in the Redzone (where was Almighty Pitta?) is going to cost them.

Never count out Brady, though...never. He's in that league of Montana, Manning, Elway, Favre...when he takes the field, you have to always be concerned. Especially coming off a loss.


No doubt, the next 2 weeks could be a rollercoaster.

damn it, don't make him explain it again. The mere presence of Pitta on the field is enough to ensure victory. Sure, he only caught 2 passes, but all the other catches were because of him and all the other runs were because of him. he draws attention away from the other players on the field. He is the Chuck Norris of tight ends. If he has to explain it to us one more time, I'm going to lose my mind.
