Week 2 - Baltimore Ravens At Cincinnati Bengals

[PuRock]

Ed Reed should've been right there.

What happened to our old turnover style.

[PuRock]

Zibby is daring.

How is the running game going?I'm following along on Twitter and have only heard bad things about Flacco....

Running game isn't horrendous but it isn't strong enough to win this game

It's his 3rd year bud, he is supposed to show that he is elite and can beat the great defenses. There is absolutely a reason to be furious

Again I'm not saying that he isn't playing terrible, but you can't just call for his head every time he has a bad half. It might not be you, but some people here are questioning whether or not he should be our franchise QB based off 1 HALF. That is over reacting.

If we can get a stop here and go into the half either 6-3 or 6-0, I will honestly look at it as a (minor) victory for us. Getting into half with possession and down 1 score is not bad at all, considering how non existent our offense has been.

Flacco needs to step up and be the QB we all think he is.

[darklight1216]

Same old Ravens. All defense, no offense.

[theFRANCHISE]

Zbikowski needs to be taken off punt return duties. I know he wanted to make something happen, but had he stayed where he was instead of moving backwards, that would've been another ten yards than where the ball is spotted now.

[SnOoPy]

it's okay! C'mon DefensE!C'mon Offense!!

[PuRock]

Does anybody know if Micheal Turner went down with an injury?

[hammer]

Chad short armed that ball. Thanks Ray!

[Eso]

61 yard punt....

[jonnyloback76]

This game has been a disaster since jump street. One good play by Ray Lewis. The O-Line is crumbling, Flacco's throwing interceptions and looks hurried nearly every play, the CBs are allowing catches that shouldn't be happening, hopefully Cameron isn't going to start trying to run every play........black blah blah.

If Flacco can start noticing these open WRs the game might get easier. Flacco, you're in your 3rd year. It's time to get the passer rating over 90 and step into some big boy QB britches.

[Florida Ravens Fan]

ugh......

[Guest RBates]

there is no way that zibby is the best punt returner we have .......get him off special teams!!!!!!

[mjb12]

Wow, nice punt. That TD before the half seems a lot less likely now...

[Bullrush]

Zibby almost with the pick.

[SnOoPy]

omg almost pick six Zibby!

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

If the defense drops one more interception I will lose my head.

[purpleprincess]

I can sum this first half up with 5 words.

always one step too late.

how many potential ints have we dropped?

[JoeCool#5]

Wow. Carson is looking like pooop. Should have had 2 INTs.

[MagicianCamille]

You're supposed to backpedal to catch the ball, not turn and run.

[Shawn`]

Zibby, vertical running, not horizontal.

[SaVaGe]

Heres an idea TAKE THE STARTERS OFF SPECIAL TEAMS

It's just the nature of fanhood and reacting within the moment. The inherent nature of being a sports fan is to unintentionally be ignorant of the long-term and only look at things in the short-term. That's because of all of the emotion involved in the game.

[theFRANCHISE]

Housh has to reel that in, man.

[SnOoPy]

C'mon Offense! Atleast get a FG!

[SaVaGe]

Lets go down field and put up 3 on the board then after half return the kick for a TD.

[JO_75]

I don't care what happens here, if we can at least get a FG I'll be happy.

If the Ravens win this game it will be because of the Defense.

If I see 1 more thing come up on NFL Game Center that says Incomplete I might just have to destroy my computer. RUN THE BALL! Get a FG and come out swinging in the second half.

Another Punt... hey maybe we can get lucky and Cincy pulls a Dallas and defense recovers a Fumble and gets a TD.

I don't think it's too preposterous to question his title as franchise QB when he was showings like this. Of course you have to be somewhat pleased with his showing against the Jets, except for the interception. But he hasn't shown great ability in the playoffs (terrible QB rating in the playoffs) and in big divisional games he seems to crumble. Franchise QBs need to show an ability to lead their teams to important victories and so far we haven't really seen that. So it's somewhat understandable

[Jamal]

wow........
