Official Vent thread vs Bengals

[riverrat]

no way that call should be made to deside the game BS

[Sunday QB]

trade for Vincent Jackson and give up a draft pick for a shut down corner. Oh yeah remove Dean pees from DC. Find someone else or give it to Spags.

 

Also why was the offensive line so poor in keeping Joe form getting pressured?

 

Bye Bye Jocoby!

 

restructure Webbs deal, no way worth 50 million.

 

not sold on Franks.

[JoeCool#5]

Cant really blame the refs although the call appeared to be a  "home cooking" flag. Although the call for the flopped was very "suspect". Shaq says "Hi"

The game should have been decided earlier. Just needed a defensive stop to end the game, that never occured or kicking a FG, instead of going for it on 4th down and dropping the pass. Converting a TD instead of FG. Lots of things, but that was pretty much the cherry on top. It wasnt in the cards.

[BmoreBird22]

Because it is OPI lol.

A lot of people are calling it a BS call and saying it cost the Ravens the game, which I don't agree with

[jazz1988]

Please tell me why the Ravens CB's play 10 yards off the receivers on 3rd downs.

 

Bend but don't break defense bought to you by Dean Pees

Uhhh... Vincent Jackson and a shutdown CB trade? So you want us to trade our entire 2015 draft class or something?

[The Mom Gene]

Where is good olé' Clete from?

[redlobster]

Man feels worse seeing Pittsburgh starting to click .

[GrimCoconut]

Also, I blame Ozzie Newsome for these struggles. I'll go to bat for Ozzie but letting Graham walk was a huge mistake. Should have retained Graham and let Jones go. It wouldn't have impacted us that much.

[Static]

Nothing is different from last year, 9-7 miss the playoffs gotta rebuild in the offseason.

 

Thank god we have Ozzie.

[BmoreBird22]

That "contact" by Iloka was softer than a love tap. How can anyone get reasonably upset about that?

Isn't spagnola the secondary coach? You want that guy to take over the defense, did you see the secondary today?

[DomMcRaven]

At least the NBA season starts soon.

What's really disappointing is that we couldn't get it done when they didn't have AJ. The division race is by no means over, but we just pulled out in front only to trip over our own feet.

Can not wait for the season to start!

[redlobster]

Jacoby Jones has to go. He has lost his burst

[BmoreBird22]

Also, I blame Ozzie Newsome for these struggles. I'll go to bat for Ozzie but letting Graham walk was a huge mistake. Should have retained Graham and let Jones go. It wouldn't have impacted us that much.

I agree. Graham was a massively underrated piece of that defense and it's really coming back to hurt the Ravens when you're only fielding two healthy cornerbacks in a game. I understand Brown may not be great, but how can the Ravens feel comfortable only putting three healthy corners on the field?

[Valid1]

Sitting Will Hill for Elam and Stewart was as damaging to our cause as the refs but not near as infuriating. The whole year has been really bad, revolution is the only viable option. Fire every ref... from a cannon into the sun. 

 

Jimmy Smith getting hurt is sad but not at all unexpected. I hope we don't dump a ton of money on him as he's as bad as Webb as far as injuries go. 

[Raving_Heathen]

Like i said during the week, i don't know why people were talking blowout. History showed Joe absolutely sucks in Cincy.

 

I thought it'd be a Ravens blowout. Got suckered in the last couple weeks with the team playing against bad lines. The Ravens got blown off the LoS on both sides of the ball today... Other than the first sack and that strip sack, Dalton and his receivers were playing pitch and catch all day long.

[The Mom Gene]

Check Wikipedia...  He was actually the center of a controversial call in the N.D. and Panthers game in 2013.  Ironically it came down to the end of a game where the score was 24-20.....  

[GrimCoconut]

A lot of people are calling it a BS call and saying it cost the Ravens the game, which I don't agree with

Yeah well they're wrong.

[DomMcRaven]

Welp..I never thought we were gonna win the division (maybe next year?). BUT....let's keep in mind that Cincy has yet to play the rest of the division. They also have to play the Broncos and travel to the Saints (just like we do). That can help us.....or hurt us.

There's this magical thing called "talent." Other teams have it too. Cincy's d-line is among the best.

Yes but when was the last time we got a defensive stop late in the game when we needed one? I didn't expect one.

[jimmypowder]

Because it is OPI lol.

And probably Defensive Pass interference as well.

[JustinB]

The game was not played here what went on Will.  Did he get hurt or did they just not play him alot

[Passepartout]

Indeed the check is in the mail. Ravens fans will be all this week very furious! Bengals swept them twice!

[ravensdfan]

Yeah well they're wrong.

 

Because he isn't stating the truth. People are saying it was also DPI and should have either been let go (as it was all game long & is 99% of the time in the last 2 mins like that) or off setting flags.

 

I really haven't seen anyone say it wasn't OPI. Just that on any other team, in that same situation, it is never called.

[4everraven]

Until we figure out how to convert short yardage situations and the D convert more times than not against game winning drives, we are just a slightly above average team. We really do only beat bad teams and lose to good teams. I don't like it but it is reality. If our schedule had us playing any divisions other than AFC south and NFC south we likely would be 3-5 instead of 5-3. We are not bad but we are not all that good either. A team with a half dozen safeties and only 2 running backs on game day roster is flawed from the get go.

[GrimCoconut]

I agree. Graham was a massively underrated piece of that defense and it's really coming back to hurt the Ravens when you're only fielding two healthy cornerbacks in a game. I understand Brown may not be great, but how can the Ravens feel comfortable only putting three healthy corners on the field?

I think Ozzie is responsible for our three losses because in each one of them, Graham would've greatly improved our secondary defense and that's exactly how we lost those three games. Ozzie thinks he can always be cute with letting guys go and he's proven to be extremely smart. I even gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought it was a good move to let Graham go. It's clear that was a mistake. Graham could've replaced Webb and we could've let Webb go next year and had a secondary of Graham and Smith. Now that won't happen and Webb is hurt and more returning from injury and may never be the same player he was. At this point he's very overpaid.

[Inqui]

And probably Defensive Pass interference as well.

Which means at best we're still sitting on 3rd and 10 within spitting distance of our own end zone.

[Raving_Heathen]

Welp..I never thought we were gonna win the division (maybe next year?). BUT....let's keep in mind that Cincy has yet to play the rest of the division. They also have to play the Broncos and travel to the Saints (just like we do). That can help us.....or hurt us.

 

Even if the Ravens win the SB this year, getting swept by a banged up, slightly-above-average Bengals team should still bother any Ravens fan.
