Week 5 – Cincinnati Bengals At Baltimore Ravens

[Slick]

Alright....where do I start? Turns out the bday present for my friend (who just got out of jail) was a Bengals' style ******-whooping of our favorite team. Great.

what a game....

[quote]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.[/quote]

You got to be kidding me, it was the worst hit so far this year. The football was clearly 7 yards over his head and 85 made no attempt to even catch the ball. Dirty hit and if you want to blame someone, blame Ray Lewis for his ego to get in the way of winning a football game. Stop making excuses.

Ok, last post till I dont post until we win.

I'm sure if Bob Sanders did the same hit you would be like "meh, it was so clean and nice and cool and good and awesome and sweet and neat and groovy and gucci and fun, meh, look at me I like to think I'm a Colts fan, meh."

I'm glad Ray did it, it was amazing, and it wasnt a blow to the head. He jacked him so hard his helmet flew off. WHy did the refs call blow to the head on that Todd Heap hit during the game, huh?

EDIT: I watched Ray's hit again on FIOS. Backward, forward, paused slow-mo fast-mo and came to this conclusion: Ray's shoulder hit Ocho's shoulder. That's it. I guess the impact was so powerful it flung his helmet off. But from my POV, shoulder to shoulder contact.

Go back Monday/Tuesday if you want it was non-clean hit on Ocho-cinco. Ray could of pulled back if he wanted too but no, he lunge head into 85 causing the penalty.
Stupid mistake that cost the Ravens the game. And yes if B. Sanders did that I would be cussing him out for it.

What do you mean if he wanted to pull back. He was running full speed. You just want him to stop in his place?

im a ravens fan win or lose...but today the RAVENS are to blame, not the all these conspiracy theories that always get thrown around...still very early in the season...just a very ugly performance..it hurts forreal...

you guys are looking for a free win, our ravens lost period. CIN was imploding and the ravens couldn't capitalize, face facts. After Joe got picked he didn't throw downfield but for a few more times. Why isn't a beast like LeRon McClain being used moreand Willis was barely used. The offense, sure it's improved but it's all over the place, it doesn't truly have an identity.

The ravens haven't had a complete good game yet other than CLE who's almost as bad as the Raiders.

This isn't the Ravens year, and it sucks cuz guys like Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, will just be wasted.

We only have 3 more wins for sure (det,oak,cle) making it 6 wins but there are no other gimmes. Get Joe his reps and try again next year and hope Oz finds a few more miracles. WR is no longer the focus, DB's another DL pass rusher is what is needed. They still can't get to the QB. All CIN was doing was running away from Suggs, he musta been frustrated, he was on the other side of every play.

Chad Ochocinco himself said on Twitter it was a clean hit. I think the man [i]would[/i] know, he [i]was[/i] on the receiving end of it...

Yea sure thats why he got up fast looking for a fight against Ray. ( he would have lost though)

Also to add good old boy Rodney Harrison who said last week to Brady "Take off the skirt" was first to blame Ray Lewis for his penalty.

I agree with the Colt fan. No excuse for that hit on Chad. Especially for one of the all time greats.

Just very idiotic.

As a Baltimore Ravens PSL owner of four seats, I purchase my season tickets every year, swallow the bi-annual price increase that comes with it from the Baltimore Ravens and attend every home game together with my family. During every home game, the announcer comes over the PA system at M&T Bank stadium to review the Fan Code of Conduct, Fan behavior, Fan Credo Expectations etc.
During that announcement, among other things, he states; "... The Fans can expect the Players best efforts on every play, on and off the field ...". By their own admission (Coaches & Players alike - Harbaugh, Suggs, Pryce, Ngata, etc.), I don't feel that the Ravens delivered on their promise to the fans of giving their "BEST EFFORT". I, as a paying PSL season ticket holding fan, do not feel that I got my money's worth from the Oct. 11th Home Game against the Bengals - and I'm not even including the additional money spent at the concession stands. That game was embarrassing and disgraceful!! The players seemed to totally be NOT PREPARED for this game.

Did we really get The Baltimore Ravens BEST EFFORTS?
