Week 10 - Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals

[rlh445]

Huge win. Same story every week. Could've easily won, could of easily lost.

 

Welcome to the NFL.

[codizzle]

Youre welcome, Ravens Nation!

 

U better wash it done with some sweet sugary Dr. pepper

Digz owes Tucker a new car and dinner for a year

[Scotty410bmore]

I still think we didn't deserve to win. What an embarassment.

This kind of loss would've destroyed the lockerroom...just be glad we DID, we deserved this

[ellicottraven]

Lowest total yards since the NFL merger in an overtime win! The team - Baltimore Ravens against the Bengals today! Wow!

[Guest Omerta]

People can say what they want about Digs, that last play was a but wonky. That said we are not even in this game if not for Digs, him or Tuck should get the game ball.

[admartian]

So Jax, NYG, and Pit did their jobs today to increase our ranking in the AFC, here's to Denver and Tampa parlaying our fortune to pull this out in overtime! Let's make it 6 straight with something to build on and look forward to in the NEAR future!

lol it's people like you that give me hope in these dark times. D

[T3hRaven]

Marvin Lewis and the Ginger showed who they really are today. Have fun with the early exit out of the playoffs.....AGAIN!

 

Dalton isn't going to win the big game.  He has one of the best supporting casts in the NFL.  The Bengals have a good OL, good backs, and a good receiving corps to go along with a great defense.  But he still won't win the big game.

Despite the win, this game gave me the closure I need to accept that this team is not making the playoffs this year. They are just fundamentally unsound and they can't play in sync. The defense is unclutch and the offensive line is the worst perhaps of all time. You put it together and you just have to believe this team can't string together enough wins to make a winning season out of this. We should have won this game easily after half time, and the fact that we make it this close to a loss just destroys all of my confidence in the team. Sorry.

[ellicottraven]

Let's not pat ourselves on the back so quickly. We found every reason to lose this game, but the Bengals just wanted to lose a little more!

[T3hRaven]

Lowest total yards since the NFL merger in an overtime win! The team - Baltimore Ravens against the Bengals today! Wow!

 

Dierdorf can downplay it all he wants, but that wind today was ridiculous.  It definitely had an impact.  It's a good thing our defense was able to somewhat contain their run game.

[hawkprey]

2 huge passes bounce off of Ravens and into the Bengals hands. 2 fumbles total, both recovered by the Bengals. A TD off a fumble by our defense called back and incorrectly upheld. Talk about an unlucky day. 

[1/28/01]

Let's just hope that we're 9-7 and earn a wild card birth with some sort of momentum heading to the post-season. I do love rooting for us in late December!!!!!!

Hope you realize some crazy things would have to happen for 9-7 to make a wild card this year in the AFC. Its more than likely division or nothing with our current record.

[Grapple Raven]

I'll take it, but the Ravens owe me a difibrilator. lol

[Militant X 1]

told you cats that Tucker had this!  lol!

DIGGGSSSSSSSSSSS............lmao 

[ellicottraven]

I am typically ecstatic with the Ravens win, but I am just empty right now. They exhaust me with the way they play. So up and down and they give us no confidence at any point in the game....

[Inqui]

I don't recall feeling such a mix of thrilled and dead inside. Unbelievable.

[Nge2grads]

Gumbel just said Harbaugh knows he has issues with his offensive line. Does he really know that? And if he does what will he do to fix it? I say nothing. He does nothing. Leaves it in Castillo's hands.

You raise some great questions here.  Nothing seems to change from week to week.

C'mon callahan! You're the stat man. As such you should be well aware that any game we win big is an anomaly. We do things the hard way. We've done it that way since 2008 (and most likely before then as well).

 

One thing Harbaugh said I've always agreed with:

"It ain't pretty. It ain't pefect. But it's us" (paraphrased a bit).

 

We rarely dominate games. Even when it seems we should.

[ellicottraven]

I just don't want Harbaugh coming out and crowing over this win. He better make a lot of changes to our offensive game calling and schemes. Or this will be one of our few wins.

[Scotty410bmore]

LOL

[admartian]

Andy dalton handed us this gamE.this team isnt going to win many more games. Not with this joke of a running game and joe flucko.

So what? we won.

 

Who cares, I'll take 6 other teams handing us the game again as long as we get teh W. Heck I'd take 1000 plays like the AJ green play (except in our favour :p) so long it's a win. 

[The Raven]

I was down around the city earlier today and I can vouch for this. The wind was insane!!!

I'm the same. I don't know if I partially died on that hail mary or I just don't back us to keep winning based on what I saw today, but it feels far more hollow than it should have.

[T3hRaven]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this team needs to get over their fascination with winning ugly.

You're a fan of Flacco and nothing more. You have zero fandom for the ravens organization. The way you blame everything on everybody else except him is glaringly obvious.

Go ship your arse to some other team.

I totally agree man! I am watching John Harbaugh standing there and saying he is proud of the team and the way they played. This is the kind of bull that gets to me big time. He needs to own up to our play on the field and state how badly we played.

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

pic did the thing lol

I'm sure he does.. But he respects them and does it in the appropriate setting

In front of journalists hungry for a quote won't solve anything
