on to Baltimore @BAL

[DanBengalfan]

well, what do you think.

Baltimore gave up a boat load of points to Oakland, who we witnessed to be terrible.
OAK scored in garbage time giving check downs to their star fullback against us, and after a decent game vs Denver, Baltimore gives up a whopping 37 points to those clowns.

so, this one is a divisional road game, which sucks, but it's at 1PM, not 7pm, which gives us a 80% chance of Cayenne Peppa and a 20% chance of dandy pants.

I think the Ravens suck. I still think we lose, though.

The "On to.." think is so f'ing annoying now. No offense Dan.

This upcoming game has last year at New England written all over it. I think we lose by at least 17

it's a permanent thing then. wasn't until now.

Well played

**I actually wasn't referring to your post, i just meant in general its so annoying that every coach and media guy and fan use that line.

What little do you actually know, he was pulling the reverse psychology card on you. He actually wanted you to continue this line of posting, but needed to guarantee it, so the easiest way was to make you think he didn't like it.

So now you are in a spot. Did he or didn't he? That is the question. And, what are you willing to do if anything to assure you are not doing what he wants after all?

MWUUHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[DanBengalfan]

now I'll just have to do it every other time, or just wait for the chaney guarantee post on Monday.

This will be over at half.... The Ravens are desperate. We're happy with 2-0.... Instead of having a killer instinct to knock our rival out of the division race before September ends, we'll just roll over.

Ravens 31, Bengals 13

I think the Bengals are a good club and I think we will make the playoffs..... I'm just not seeing it this week.

 

[CrashDavisSports]

No Ngata. No Suggs. Weaker defense with no Reed and Lewis hounding our players along with less leadership across the board, especially defensively.

Then you have a 20 million dollar QB putting up sub 50 QB ratings, a RB that couldn't even make the roster of another team (granted he is decent - Forsett), no real weapon on offense except Steve Smith who is getting up in age, along with Pitta who is so broken that he is not the same player he used to be.

This game on is on the road against a division rival, but this is a game we should win. Which means we probably won't, but I like our chances right now.

This is the first measuring stick game. It's put up or shut up time. They can beat the Raiders and Chargers all they want too. I could care less. Beat somebody meaningful, on the big stage. It's time to come out and make a statement against a divisional opponent in a big moment.

The Bengals have the opportunity to push the Ravens to the brink. There's blood in the water. Time to make the fucking kill.

If they come up lame and get their ass kicked, yet again, it's time to cut bait with this bunch. This is the worst Ravens team in 10 years. The first time I can ever comfortably say the Bengals have the better team across the board. If they can't get it done now, against a reeling bunch missing their leader on defense, with no WRs, and a piss poor secondary, it's never fucking happening.

 

[DanBengalfan]

remember when the experts who didn't pick Pittsburgh to win the division this year picked Baltimore because they wanted to be different?

at least Pittsburgh is a good team.

The Ravens are hard to figure out. They played great defense in week 1 but the offense was terrible. They played great offense in week 2 but the defense got torched. I think it'll be a one score game

To be fair, the Raiders defense hasn't shown a damn thing..... The Bengals only played offense for 2.5 quarters, left a few scores on the field, and still went for over 30.

The Raiders don't have a great defense but 385 yds for Flacco and 33 pts of offense on the road is impressive unless Oakland's D is his historically bad.

The Ravens should be 2-0 on the road right now. Steve Smith dropped a catchable ball in the endzone that would have given them the lead late in the 4th vs Denver. Flacco led Smith a foot out of bounds that would have given them 37 points late in the 4th instead of 33. Oakland's last Td was setup by a flagrant roughing the passer.

I think the Bengals and Steelers are the class of the division and will both be around 11 wins. I'm not ready to write off Baltimore though

Don't forget, they were playing against their old Offensive coordinator, Mr. Predictable himself, Gary Kubiak. I'm sure that helped.

80% chance of Cayenne Peppa!!!

 

[DanBengalfan]

Bengals are actually dogs this week.

not sure why? road game vs divisioinal? I think we'll be ok unless it gets flexed to prime time.

We'll be down by 17 at the half

Over under on how long it takes Marvin to say "We're on to Kansas City?"

 

[cincygrad]

Question: Why the hell does Baltimore have such a difficult time finding receivers? Have they ever had a good one (Steve Smith doesn't count; he's still good, but he's old as dirt).
