[News] The Breakdown: Eisenberg's Five Thoughts at Bengals

[BR News]

Ready to move on from 2015 season. Mallett big favorite. Defense good, but not good enough.

With young players (now with big time game experience) joining the Vets coming off of injuries, and a great draft, this season coming should be REAL nice! Ravens never stopped fighting, nice job guys! GO RAVENS!

...we still need to work on punching it in the endzone when in the redzone. If we had a least one more touchdown, we might've pulled this one out. But we put up a good fight, considering all the adversity we've faced this year with injuries and penalties.

Z had a strong finish after a slow start, he will be a beast as a pass rushing OLBer...

[J.O.14]

Im excited for the offseason, hopefully we make the right moves. At least we have a backup QB. We have a stable of good young RBs. We have WRs we know can produce (still need another solid playmaker), and have a good set of TEs. I think we need a top flight corner, another OLB, and possibly inside. OL is a question mark a little bit. I just hope we get healthy and add some solid pieces, because losing sucks lol. GO RAVENS!

We got the #6 pick....Beating Pit was well worth it regardless...

[bioLarzen]

Do I get it right that we have the #6 draft spot? the Titans, Browns and Chargers are the top 3 with 3, 3 and 4 W's, then the Cowboys with 4 W, then the Ravens, the Jags and the 49ers have 5 W's each, but both of them beat us, so we should be #6... Right?

I just hope we get to see Perriman play.

[Ravens530]

Thank god that bull crap is over. Now who's ready for O's baseball? I know I am!

Ha, you beat me

[Purplepowers88]

I was terrified that we were going to win based on how the first half was going. I think Jeremy Butler is more talented than Kamar Aiken and should be our slot receiver. If Smith comes back healthy (And Perriman), I believe that it should Smith, Perriman, Butler, and Aiken. That isn't going to happen because Aiken is a more proven receiver (especially after this season). But Jeremy Butler looks more polished in his routes and evasive ability.

Yeah - the question is who is gonna be on IR... Because some key players will

[ellicottraven]

All things considered I am really proud of how the Ravens played in this game. They were in it till they weren't. All I hope for is that they go to work during the off season, stay out of trouble and come back bigger, stronger and faster than they were this season. They owe it to themselves, the coaches, the organization and most importantly to the fans who have stuck with them through thick and thin! Go Ravens and rest your bruised bodies and relax.

[RavenzOz]

Is it just me, or does anyone else want the Steelers to beat the Bungles next week ... tradition says the Bungles get bounced out the back door in the first week, and I'm not one to break with tradition :-)

1. At the end of this season, please Never take Joe Flacco for Granted. Sure, Mallett is fine as a "back up", that's it. I Just hope Joe is ready to Go week 1 2016. 2. Definitely need a Number 1 WR via Draft or Trade to secure our future at the position. Aiken and SSS can carry the load, make big plays and move the chains but we need the Guy who can take a game over and open up the defense. I'm pulling for Butler too, he's speedy and runs solid routes. Joe needs a Guy for the next 5 seasons. 3. TE should be set with Max and Crockett and RB seems set with a Healthy Forsett and Buck. Great news for the offense. 4. Need to correct the O line gaps before the TE's WR's and RB's can be efficient. Hope KO is in the Payroll. 5. Some coaching or Player Personnel adjustments will need to be made to fix the lack of discipline (penalties, missed tackles, blown coverages on D) And, we need to address the training staff and nutrition, Or harbs needs to change the pre season and regular season practice load..Too many guys getting injured last 2 seasons.

Good news is, all the problems can be fixed with some solid GM work. With all that this team endured, they hung in every game this season (other than Seattle) and that's a huge positive...Go Ravens

[whobilly]

NFL.com had Jaqs picking 6th ahead of Ravens at 7th based on strength of schedule? Really?

[Crusader]

I just hope we get to see Perriman play.

I hope Ozzie does his home work.

[Crusader]

Bryden Trawick ran into Ravens punt returner and kick off returner TWICE. Get some smart players Ozzie.

[whobilly]

Anybody have an update on the Draft order?

[Magnusmd]

Ravens pick 6 in the draft

[whobilly]

Just saw the update. With the Niners winning the Ravens moved down to number 6 pick. Jaqs picking 5th with same record even though they beat us(NFL admitted mistake aside)

[stixfix69]

Now that we know our draft pick, Oz please call Pags....

[Crusader]

Trawick ran into him three times

[ravens4life86]

Im pretty sure Ravens will pick 6th..after both SF and Miami won.

[drillem]

Sorry to see the division represented by the Bungles. I'd say six times up and lost every time is enough. I'd rather see the squeelers go past them. At least they'll give a good game to watch.

[RavenManiac#7]

Bryden Trawick ran into Ravens punt returner and kick off returner TWICE. Get some smart players Ozzie.

If my memory is right, he's the one who ran into Jacoby Jones and had him out for four games too. 

[stixfix69]

If Cincy plays against Pit like they did us today they will once again be one and done in the playoffs....I'm actually rooting for AZ...even though they got a serious beat down today, they are fun to watch....

[utalkingtome123]

I hope ozzie learned a lot from this season because the ravens have some big gaps. We saw some positive potential spots but the Ravens need to change things around its not 2001 anymore, we ate 4 to 5 players away from being great not 1 or 2 like people keep downplaying. I trust in ozzie and company though so I know we got this GORAVENS!

[stixfix69]

Like Oz had control of 20 guys going on IR and i don't care that some will say we lost a lot of them halfway through the season, but losing Suggs was huge, you're talking losing a 3 down OLBer and 12 plus sacks, which really came out to more, as Doom couldn't be as effective without him on the other side....Finished the season with 1 WR who was on the original 53 man roster, Buck who was the 3rd RB going onto the season, and our 4th QB.....Not even going to get into the Secondary carousel we went through as well....Bottom line we were competitive in 13 of the 16 games....

Actually I'd like to see the bengals beat them. I know the bengals tend to be annoying because they've beaten us 5 times in a row now but their fans annoy me much less than stoolers fans. Also Marvin Lewis deserves to win at least one playoff game because that roster is loaded with too much talent to be 0-6. Plus it will be super embarrassing for the steelers to be the first team to lose to the bengals in the playoffs in 25 years.
