Week 2 - Baltimore Ravens At Cincinnati Bengals

[omar586]

opponnets penalties are only offense

[PuRock]

LOL at Joe's 14 passer rating.

[theFRANCHISE]

Wow, the tackles are getting beat on the edge. That's uncharacteristic of Oher.

[itlstl7]

Is that Kyle Boller out there???

It's amazing how everyone was saying how great of a offense we would have and just like last week against the Jets, defense is keeping us in the game and again showing that our identity is still Ray Lewis & the Defense.

I've said it from day 1 - it does not matter who or what receivers we have if Flacco does not make the decision's and the right throws then we might as well just hand the ball off all game!!!

[FlaccoFlicker]

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[reediddy]

Boldin hates Flacco right now

[MagicianCamille]

If only the field was a mile wide Flacco, if only. Turns out those sidelines mean something.

[SnOoPy]

C'mon Flacco..

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.

correct

I've actually never been this fustrated with a ravens performance ever, I Can't even see anything good coming out of it. We've droped 2 game changing picks and we can't get anybody open or anything started.

[omar586]

but serously guys does the home team bring gatorade to both teams or what, b/c it looks like are offense have been drugged or something

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

I agree with that, and if he doesn't improve in the second half and we lose this game I will honestly be open to that discussion.

[hammer]

Wow, the offense is having a nuclear meltdown. With all the Bengal penalties, and the bad throw to Chad, we are very fortunate to be down on 6-0.

[omar586]

flacco has the horizontal offense insteadd of vertical offense

[theFRANCHISE]

If you can't protect the QB, he can't make the throws he needs to throw. I'm still somewhat frustrated that the team didn't attempt to get an offensive lineman in the trade for Barnes.

His playoffs record is 3-2, his numbers arent great, he was a rookie the first year he went and last year his whole leg was injured.

[VA_Fan]

Put Bulger In--- Jeez!!

[SaVaGe]

Do we have any receivers that can get down field in 17 seconds? No, time to run clock out like usual.

Yeah, the o-line has passed "suspect" and entered "bad."

[tonyg6996]

I'll be the bright side guy I guess haha. We just had one of the worst halves of offense I have ever seen the ravens have, and we are only down by one score with possession first in the second half.

[omar586]

just run it

[SnOoPy]

GJ defense! Need our offense to shine in 2nd half..

[Jamal]

I don't mind losing, but playing like this, is just so discouraging.....

[SaVaGe]

I love how we don't even try to go down field. What if we got in FG position, terrible clock management.

When I saw the Bengals' two defensive ends put a simultaneous spin move on their respective tackles and beat their guys, I wanted to vomit. It was like something out of Madden, seeing the pocket collapse so perfectly for the Bengals like that.

[scrock]

Somehow Flacco has lost his confidence is his arm, his throws are off on everything, i dont know what happened but they better get it fixed...that can kill a QBs career really quick

[Florida Ravens Fan]

It's a ugly game for both teams, I still have hope....

[MagicianCamille]

The offensive line has looked bad but there have also been times where Flacco had all day and just made bad throws.

[JO_75]

I'm glad Joe just kneeled and just went to call it a half. Alright Harbs you need to get this team rallied and get them coming out swinging.

The thing that makes this worse about us losing right now is that the Steelers are beating the Titans.
