I hate to say it, but Mike Zimmer (Bengals' D coordinator) deserved the win. His guys played their hearts out for him today after he lost his wife so suddenly.

So, I'm mad about this game of course, but I can't say I feel as angry as last week given the circumstances.

After seeing five losses from my teams in a row, I'm not as upset either, but I don't think the Bengals "deserved" to win. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but those refs nailed us in the fourth quarter.

[FlaccoFlicker]

i told my gf we had a chance we'd be going 3-3 into the bye,hopefully we can win next week but i'm not sure love my ravens hope we get into the bye and can fix some things,remember folks we went 12-4 our superbowl year and we were 5-4 at on point. we can turn this around

[macbrak]

Ugh thanks refs. Bengals put up a better game then expected but really?

[Whitty Hutton]

So a coach's wife dies, the team says they're gonNa win this for him, and they have a theatrical comeback win in the last minute...nah the NFL aint fixed

When I said the Bengals were going to be good this year. Everybody on here called me crazy.

Thats what my roommates thought too, because i was talking to them about my trip to Ohio and how i visited Paul Brown Stadium. Oh well, they still have hope in their Vikes/Twinkies

I guess that makes you awesome sauce. Congratulations.

[Deep6again]

Why air it out when a field goal was the least we could accept. I'm in disbelief

[JEEPercreepermd]

This wasn't on the defense. It was on the entire team, save special teams. The offense was putrid, defense couldn't tackle,and they take penalties on 3rd down.

Can't blame the refs for this loss.

Wow. Way to start my day - Ravens loss to an average (but deserving) Cincy team.

Playoffs? If we're lucky. We need a corner that can, you know, COVER. That's just me though.
[/quote]

Like Jim Mora said that time in Indy: Playoffs! Playoffs! I just want to win a GAME!

[FerrariFan87]

I am disgusted.... the referees have way too much control over the game. It makes me sick.

But hey, if Joe can hit a wide open Clayton with no defenders within 15 yards, we aren't talking about this....

[ThaTMaDDeNGuY]

man if we go 3-3 into the bye..

So true...

Man, they totally shut down our offense in this game. It was downright brutal.

very true but if ochocinco's helmet doesnt come off then there's no td for cincy..

[GermanRavensFan]

When a team is down at it's own 20 and then walks 80 yards into our endzone within two minutes they deserve the win... blame the team, not the refs.

[ravens27]

Do you all think Mattison will stay here for long?

[Jamal]

Don't blame the refs. This time we choked the game away.

To true. If Joe doesnt throw that pic, this game is in overtime. But its rediculous that we have to overcome the refs every week.

[Alexir]

I want carr off the team.

Pagano and Carrier need to get back to the basics with the secondary.

Harbaugh you preach Character and Discipline yet you have the most penalized team in the NFL.

Ray, dude....cheap shot at Chad. Also, Chad should have been flagged on 2 occasions.

Refs suck.

0-2 when Willis doesnt get more than 5 touches.

Put in demitrius williams. He will almost always come down with the jump ball.

The pink armbands and cleats are fitting since we look like a freaking sorority powderpuff team.

I am venting, but I dont feel like im bashing anyone (besides the coaches and Carr, I dont even know if Carr has a soul so maybe just the coaches). We have a lot of talent and I dont think they are living up to the potential at all. It really seemed like we were playing in Cincinatti today.

[mdrsharon]

that was the WORST officiating ever - they just handed the Bengals the game on a purple platter!
it was beyond bad, I wonder if Harbaugh will make a protest, not like they can take back the last 36 seconds.
Last week it was the Brady calls this week the secondary - sheesh.....
Let's see what will happen next week.

I'd agree if half those yards were not given to them via the yellow hanky.

[reediddy]

with the speed of the game you can't expect ray lewis to stop all his momentum when he's going to hit chad, he is expecting chad to hit the ball then lay him out, its so easy for people to look at those plays and say oh yeah why would he do that? well thats football, i am this close to boycotting the refs

The one on Walker was BS, but everything else was legit. It happened with 2:36 left when Cam Cameron started taking a page out of Brian Billeck's coaching book. When they did 2 run plays to kill the clock and threw a useless long ball to Clayton, I knew it was over. The defense was horrible all day and he expected them to defend with the 2 minute warning to use as a timeout. I predicted this, because Foxworth is worthless. They deserved to lose and right now, they don't deserve to be considered playoff contenders. The defense is terrible and I also blame Newsome for not addressing the cornerback and wide receiver issue in the offseason.

completely agree besides the ray n chad hit.. it wasnt a cheap shot at all.. five years ago it would have been replayed fifty times on espn and the analysts would be replaying the sproles hit too talking of how lewis is having another mvp year

[FerrariFan87]

Ray's hit was clean too.... defenseless or not, he hit Chad in the shoulder and his helmet happened to pop off. It was timed perfectly. I think the NFL is going to become a touch football league soon. My gracious, let the players play.

What game were you watching? Chad should have been flagged for diving on Fox, flag should of been on Cinci for holding Pryce and lets not forget that Reed/Walker (announcers said reed but i think they meant walker) penalty. Walker played the bal perfectly.
