Next Up: Bears

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

Well this is another crucial game coming up. I like our chances with Ray Rice and our Passing Game. Our Defense looked pretty good today. If I was the coach, I would bench Ed Reed again to let him rest for Pittsburgh. Any Thoughts on the game? Hopefully this one will be dry.

I also think Cutler is less of a threat than culpepper, lol

I think we will beat the Bears on Sunday. D was still inconsistent, but did have an overall good game. Weather sucked today. Offense was explosive. Loved Rice and the catch and TD by Mason. Looking forward to next sunday.

I can't for the life of me figure out why our guys can't get any pressure on the QB.

[20ravens52]

Orton?

Cutler is an INT machine... the Offense grew a lot today, despite the opponent (we looked awful against Cleveland, remember).

If we play our game, with our crowd, and with the playoffs on the line, we'll whoop them pretty good.

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

The key to Cutler is it's easy to get in his head.He is an INT machine especially when he loses his focus and plays with his emotions.They only have one real running back,their D can be run on big time.Don't let the Green Bay score fool you,that's their biggest rivarly game,as old as the NFL itself,but that does'nt mean they should be taken lightly.A team with nothing to lose is always dangerous.If the Ravens prepare for it and execute like they did today ,they'll be alright!

[MiselisM]

Will be interesting to see if Reed plays. Whats crazy is we may be playing team where our overall receivers are better then theirs. Put Webb on Hester, Foxworth on the second guy, and we should be able to pull it out. If we can win without reed and save him for pittsburgh, that would be great.

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

I'm gonna say run the ball again like we did today.
we HAVE to find a way to get pressure on Cutler though, we all know how he self destructs.

yeha i really hope we do not play Ed, let him relax for pitt.

[Militant X 1]

the key to beating the Bears is one word......PRESSURE!!!!

Cutler gets rattled easily and throws interceptions like they are going out of style! if we can begin to get the pressure from our defensive front, then we will be hard to deal with that is for sure.

[1defense]

I like are remaining schedule but we should not take the Bears likely remember what we have seen time and time again,every given game has its on fair chances of going either way

[Ravens_Fan13]

Theres no way were taking there bears like its a easy win. Just like harbs said never assume every game is a tough game and every team is a good team this is the nfl. The bears played a very good game today against the same packers that made us look bad i do believe we win this game but its not goin to be easy.

[ChiTownRavens]

Im sorry guys.... But i have to root for the Bears in front of my friends, but in my heart ill be rooting for them to lose. Im tired of Lovie Smith's staff, and i cant get over how hes just slowly making the Bears association look bad. Sure he perfected the Cover2 scheme that Urlacher, Briggs and Harris fit so well into and made us go all the way to the Superbowl, plus Devin Hesters returns lol. Now its an easy scheme to get over and he doesnt even change up the schemes much during the games, its the same thing over agian. Also he just drafted players that are not even worth mentioning and traded some other valuable players. I seriously hope we get a new coach for 2010, but probably wont happen, hell he even said we still have hope for the Playoffs this year. Riggggght. I swear if we had a new coach, Jay Cutler wouldnt be doing so bad.

/rant over.

Go Ravens.

[J-man]

I dont think it will be a walk in the park like today was, but it should be a win

Even though their record sucks this year, the game wont be a walk in the park. Bears have their flashes of amazing, where you can see great turnovers happen unexpectedly and trick d-plays. Even if they keep losing, they still play hard. Games going to be very interesting, since its the first time the teams have vs each other, and coming into Ravens stadiums is going to be quite something....

Because we don't have enough speed on the edges of the Dline to have an effective 4 man pass rush. When Mattison calls for blitz pressure it's almost right up the middle and never disguised. Usually picked up before the snap

I live down state in Charleston and all my friends are Bear fans.Usually we don't have any issues because our teams are in different conferences,but we've always known that when Sunday comes all bets are off!I'll be strutin' my jersies all over Chucktown,takin' heat,and profane insults and lovin'every minute of it!Sad thing for Chicago is I can't beleive the price they paid for Cutler,ouch!As for your rant you nailed it,trust me I hear it down here alot.

[MagicianCamille]

Anything less than a big win would be a disappointment.

Well your right, i forgot about the Bears winning against Ravens the season before our SuperBowl run, so that was the 2005 season, other than that im not sure if we have ever.

1st, love the name, i remember when our car stalled on the hills in Pennsylvania haha.

Thats awesome, show them your Ravens pride! Surprised to see there are plenty of Bears fans in South Carolina hah. After what you wrote, i think im going to follow suit and sneak my Ravens jersey and bust it out later at downtown sport bar, dont find that many Ravens jerseys that much.

I remember back in the Brian Greise Days, tons of people didnt even support him, even after/before we went to the SuperBowl. Kinda the opposite with Cutler, lol.

careful, you could get poisoned.....

[I AM LEGEND]

For you guys saying this willbe an easy win.....do you watch the NFL?

Have you seen how suspect our offense looks at time?

Have you seen how suspect our defense has looked all season?

Have you seen what has happened to the steelers this last month?

Anything is possible..

All we need is recent trends of Ray Rice fumbling,Flacco redzone picks and Db's getting burned
to make this one really difficult game for us..

They said we shouldve sacked Rodgers easily!

They say we shouldve picked off Favre a couple times!

There was no way Benson could run for over 100 on us.....let alone twice!


Please guys take the humble route..it's so much easier to deal with


The Bears have two of the fastest Wr's in the league..and a TE that is very difficult to stop..if our offense continues to give freebie turnovers any team will give us a tough match up




With that said



I really think this is a win for us..

[Natural Born Hitters]

Has anyone checked the weather for this Sunday's game? http://www.weather.com/weather/wxdetail/USMD0020?dayNum=6 I hope it clears up or just completely turns into snow. I'd hate to see an half empty stadium for our last Home game of the season.

[lgcs27288]

Good thing is they dont have any big time receivers that will kill us. Especially if Hester is out. They do have some speedsters though.

If it helps us to play like we did yesterday, I hope the weather is exactly the same.

Jay Cutler has 17 interception on the road so far this year. Can we make it 20?

[FlacAttack]

If we run the ball like we did against Detroit, I don't see the Ravens having any problem with the Bears. The key is to frustrate Cutler early because if you get in his head, you essentially take him out of the game for good. Plus, their running game is not as good as ours. It will be interesting to see if Reed suits up for the game, but if not at least he'll be healthy for Pittsburgh.

Whats the record for most interceptions in a game? I say we break it.

[ravens88]

Last home game of this year unless some drastic happens in the playoffs and before then. I will be attending and plan to make cuttler deaf. I think we can do very well against them. they are last in running offense and 24th in of the run defense. I think cutler will throw to some black Jerseys as well. I think our game plan will be run on offense with some play action and draw plays. Then on defense we will always keep our safties back to prevent the deep pass and respect their speend with hester and knox.

[XxSizzleXx]

It seems like every week what we talk about is that we have to get pressure, coincidence? NOPE, we have to hit the line in the draft this year.
