[jdynamite]

Hope they miss this

Not inactive, just not starting, and I think they realize better than you

Said he's inactive here on the website

[codizzle]

Lot of new pieces on D guys.. Take it easy

[cobrajet]

OK at least they held them to a FG

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Stop them!

[Token]

At least we held them to a fg.

Na brown is inactive

Wait, seriously?

[ellicottraven]

not the most auspicious start to our season, but let's go offense and respond!

[Ravensfan23]

It's gonna take at least 2 drives to adjusted to what the Bengals offense wants to do. They are coming with a lot of trickery and deception. Hue Jackson had a great script of 10 plays or so. The defense will have to adjust and make the Bengals play the game they want them to play.

 

One Drive doesn't make a game.

[Inqui]

1st drives are all choreographed. Screens and crap won't work for 60 minutes.

Exactly. The defence should settle down after this.

[ravensdfan]

Pees can't make the players do their assignments....

 

That's the same excuse you give him every season. At some point you have to admit it is the DC.

[PolishRifle]

That's not that top 5 D Harbs promised.

[BmoreBird22]

Brown is listed as inactive

My bad, no sound on this BWW TV. Did they give a reason?

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Okay.  Lets get this offense rolling and put up 7.

No offense, but we always hear that about Pees. When you keep hearing that, there comes a point where you have to place blame on the coordinator for the players not adapting to his schemes and move on from a coach who isn't getting the most out of his guys, for whatever reason. Maybe his schemes are too complex for these guys, I'm not sure. His defense seems to require extreme discipline from the defenders and execution to near perfection. I'm thinking that's why we have this bend-don't-break style of defense. It seems like the guys aren't adapting to his schemes, honestly. But we will see. It's just the first drive. 

[codizzle]

Wait, seriously?

Oh yea... Figuring it's because of special teams

[cursona pirate]

Dalton really isn't that good.

I dont want to be that guy but his regular season stats for his first 3 years are pretty good.

[Inqui]

Good work holding them to a FG. Time for the offence to shine now.

[BmoreBird22]

That's the same excuse you give him every season. At some point you have to admit it is the DC.

I admit it's not flashy or creative, but there's a lot of missed containment and missed tackling

[ravensdfan]

I know that's true. It is just way too reminiscient of last year.

[Purple Nurple]

Let's see this O.

[cobrajet]

Is it just me or does it always seem like either on Offense or Defense, we always need time to get going when the game starts.

[Dr. Kelley]

OK at least they held them to a FG

Its just dissapointing that its gotten to the point we have to be relieved that we only gave up three points instead of seven because our defense can't make stops anymore

[cursona pirate]

That's not that top 5 D Harbs promised.

Its the first drive against a good offensive team dude.

[jdynamite]

Bad return. Man. Always like to at least get to the 20.

[cobrajet]

Come on Jacoby run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zeus]

Let's see what Gary brings

It does require lots of discipline and control from the players. All players have to execute their jobs or it breaks down

[GrimCoconut]

Jacoby is also really starting to concern me. He didn't look great returning in the preseason and now he didn't look too great just now. I'm not sure what's up with him.

Here we go guys
