[BohBalmerOsbohs]

get it done boys.

no motivation issues this week.

[FerrariFan87]

Gotta contain Green and get Dalton on his back... oh yeah, and we can't let Benson go off either, like Hillis did last week.

C'mon guys u gotta make sure tha water is ready for the rest of us.. #firstposterrules

[JO_75]

Let's hope our Road woes are healed for this game. Hopefully there won't be as many Bengals fans there to disrupt our offense and hopefully more Ravens fans show up to rattle the Bengals offense.

I know winning the AFC North is on the line but but right now that is a bonus, the main prize is the BYE and a HOME Playoff Game.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

HUGE game here fellas

[cursona pirate]

This is like a playoff game. Even if Pittsburgh loses I still want us to win this game. Go Ravens!

[Purple Nurple]

Something everyone is already thinking gets written here. Go Sports Team!!!!!

[ghost1986]

We definitely need to win. I hate playing the Bungles. They always give us trouble. We need solid coverage, but more importantly, we need to get Dalton on the ground in the backfield. And we need to protect Joe. I think Dunlap's looking to have a big game against him, so whoever is blocking him, needs to do so and hold the line. Not hold their man. I just want a W no matter the score. Lets sweep the division.

[ravens25270]

I think we will win this one,but dont get to high.That way the fall wont hurt as bad in weeks to come.This team is not good enough to get to the big-show or win it.If you know football as I do.You know deep down,they wont get it done.

Witty comment about ur witty comment

[Ravenseconbeast]

Hope we keep this game on the ground. 35-40 mph wind tommorow in cinci. We gotta make the end zone through run game. No billy cundiff or joe flappo picks on end zone.

[CptJesus]

I have faith in mah Ravens, but it has definitely been severely strained for the past few weeks. I'm hoping to see them correct some of their more egregious mistakes from the past couple weeks (and honestly most road games) and take it to the Bengals. It's going to be a nail-biter, but I think if the Ravens hold firm, they can pull off the win.

[JohnJohnson]

@ravens25270 - A true Raven fan sticks with his team no matter what. A true Raven fan is more than willing to go through the emotional high's and low's of the regular and post seasons. A true Raven fan's confidence may be shaken when his team takes a loss to Seattle, but still he knows that his team will learn from their mistakes and better themselves...
You sir... are not a true raven fan.

[BohBalmerOsbohs]

Lose this game and it erases all the hard work this season.

[ghost1986]

There would be no better way to usher in the New Year with a Ravens win. And @ravens25270, go back to the Bungles forums. You're not a Ravens fan. Let me just tell everybody here something. I'm passionate about this team. I cheered for my Ravens when we had QB's such as Grbac and Boller. Four years in a row we've made it to the playoffs under Flacco. Tomorrow's gonna be the day when we prove the fourth time's a charm. We're gonna play like Ravens tomorrow and show the world why Cincy had to beg their fans to come to the game tomorrow. Preople are worried about our performance on the road. Pittsburgh, St. Lous, Cleveland. All road wins. I'm sorry Cincy, but you're gonna have to wait another year for the playoffs. Tomorrow, we draw first blood. Suggs, Ngata, Kruger, McPhee, Redding, Cody and JJ are gong to be an impenetrable force. I just wanna see pure domination. Call me a violent individual, but I wanna see Bengals squirming on the ground from being hit hard.

hahahaha When do you know a Steelers' fan is really worried about his team? When they are hanging out in the Ravens/Bengals game thread.

So I wonder, will Big Ben put his team or his pride first? Play or not play? Give the Browns 4 potential TOs or let Batch manage the game? It is a question.

I really wish they hadn't flexed this game. It is going to be a long long long day.

Happy New Year everyone!

[MsMarvel73]

*wearing sunglasses in the house* Yes it was that kind of a night.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this will not be easy. I have supreme confidence in the boys but the Bengals always play us tough. And both teams have their own motivations. OL better be sharp today...

All that said GO RAVENS!

What, me worried? [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/bitenails.gif[/img] Nah, i like these final day match-ups. It's gonna be fun...this is why we love football![img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/football.gif[/img]

[Azmo]

As much as I'd like to see Pitt fall to the Brownies, I just don't see it happening... We should know what kind of day we'll have on the first Raven's offensive series... 7 hours... argh... Guinness is ready!

[Militant X 1]

i just woke up feeling great about this game today! i believe that our Ravens will do themselves, the city of Baltimore and we fans proud today! no! it won't be easy but i believe that the Ravens will match energy for energy behind enemy lines in Cinci today to pull out a very impressive win! Cinci has been hot but the Ravens have the experience to get the job done! it is not time for the bengals to break through just yet and the Ravens will slam the door on their season with a win!

GOOOO RAVENS!!!

~Mili

[Nge2grads]

I am proud to be a Ravens fan and I'm pulling for them to get the job done in Cincy. Baltimore obviously has better fans since no gimmicks are needed to pack The Bank. C'mon Ravens, get the win your fans deserve. Let's come out of the gate strong, and keep the pedal on the gas!

[codizzle]

Woke up totally forgetting it was Sunday.. Well actually didn't know where I was or what day it was..
But on that note.. Game day baby.. Great day of football with sooooo many good games

[D_UP]

Let's Go Ravens! I'm anxiously waiting.This game is so huge. These are "contract games" what do you do in the clutch? What do you do when you hold all the cards? Do you close the deal? So what you put up stats. What do you do when its winning time.

[ravens2daplayoffs]

I'm confident we can pull this off. I just got to believe that with so much on the line for both teams that the Ravens are more talented and more experienced.

[ravensdfan]

Today took forever to get here. Now 4:15 is taking forever lol

Even 1 pm is taking forever!!!!!

We take this game. I will be rooting hard for the Bills to want to play spoiler for NE.

Home field throughout! How sweet it would be.

[WNC-Raven]

From what I've seen of the Bengals O this year Dalton throws a lot of jump balls and relies on Green to go up and get them. With 40 mph winds that game plan should allow for a few INT. Go Ravens.
