You're not kidding. Bernard done for year ( acl) and AJ Green most likely done for year with severe hamstring. Ouch

[Moderator 2]

That leaves Tyler Eifert?

[RavensFanMania]

we should start using hurry up much more.  Wonder who our offensive coordinator will be next season.  Anyone have any ideas?

The Bengals on laying on their death bed and the Ravens have to finish the process by burying them. This is a home game and despite the loss today, the energy surrounding this team should still be high. I thought save the penalties the Ravens played well offensively vs the Cowboys. 

Yeah the offense did alright today; they just needed more opportunities. Why can the offense and defense never play well on the same day...offense sucks, defense plays well. Offense plays well, defense sucks...

Probably a HC that gets fired, does good enough as an OC for a year that a team gives him another shot at being a HC and goes onto win the super bowl.

The Cowboys loss didn't get me down too bad. I think we rebound and win this one; most confident I've been for any game so far this year.

Yea this offense, defense and ST all play well together and the remaining schedule don't look nearly as daunting. As I mentioned this Bengals team seem ready to pack it in too me, so the Ravens need to come out with a strong performance and put them away early.

I definitely think the no huddle/uptempo offense should be a huge part of what this team does moving forward. Why wouldn't Marty be the OC going forward. The offense has looked much better the last two weeks with the oline getting healthier and Dixon getting his feet under him. The Ravens need to just find away to fix the drive stalling penalties. But in terms of creativity in both the run game and pass game, the offense has looked much better since the bye.

With A.J. Green and Gio Bernard out, and considering that this is a three win team, there is no reason that Baltimore should not win at home especially after a frustrating loss.

It's hard for me to be optimistic when the Ravens play Cincy, but they really should take this game.

Who is the Bengals' OC these days?

One would think...

Hard to tell which team is going to show up these days. If we could just get all 3 phases to show up in the same game it'd be easy sleddin.

Bengals don't look good, even with him. Hopefully Jimmy comes back.

With Green out let Jimmy take extra time to heal. Has he had a single season injury free yet ? The guy has had it rough for sure. He was badly missed yesterday, we needed his strength and size.

Fixed that for ya.  

[ravens88]

with them losing those key guys should allow the defense an easier gameplan. issue has always been the offense bengals defense doesnt appear to be same as previous years hopefully we can get something going.

I wonder how many years in a row will continue to fire OC's, making the entire O learn another new system, and not throw any blame onto the personnel that are incompetent of fullfilling that system.

At some point, the reptiveness of how bad our O is needs to be out on the shoulders of our front office/scouts. They need to be able to draft/sign players that fit well and if that doesn't happen then they need to be let go. These scouts are drafting players for one type of scheme and the front office changes that scheme year in and out.

Bengals have always played us tough, even when they sucked.

It is possible they give him an offseason to install more of his concepts and the 2017 season.

I love Division games but after the loss Sunday we are just playing for pride and reps for the young guys. So i say, let them loose and have fun. Maybe a few questions can be answered as to who stays and who goes next season. 

[RavensPunkXVX]

I like the way the back end of our schedule is shaping up. I'm not as worried about it as I was before. AFC North is limping towards the end of the season and the Miami game should be a good one. We always play the Patriots tough. Not to mention, Pitt has the Colts next who have turned things around recently and Buffalo who is no slouch either.

A coach should be able to see what his players can and cannot do and put them in the best position to succeed so start adjusting the "system" to fit the skill set of our talent. Any other way seems insane.

Bad news: Bengals have tons of injuries

Good news: Those injuries mean we should win the one and keep us ahead in the AFCN

If Jimmy doesn't miss anymore games then I think we'll be making the playoffs, if you look at our schedule it looked super tough but as i look at it more I don't think it actually is. We have the Bengals twice and they have tons of injuries, and generally were struggling regardless, so that's two probable wins. Steelers may be a tough out, but we always play them close and we're on a 4 game win streak against them I believe (incl. playoffs). We always play the Patriots super tough every time, I think that one's winnable. We match up well against the Eagles, that'll be a hard fought defensive game for both sides, with Jimmy I think we would, at least to me, be the favorites going in. Dolphins are a bit of a wildcard, they absolutely need to establish a run game to move on offense, so I think that one's winnable if we're at full strength defensively.

I see every game as winnable, but we certainly aren't going to be the favorites in a couple - namely against the Pats and Steelers, but both are teams that we like to play close the majority of the time. I think we'll at least be .500 this season and will probably get a playoff berth, we don't deserve to make the playoffs really but there isn't anyone in the AFCN that really decimates are chances, Steelers could conceivably go on a tear but if we just match them win for win, and either beat them in our game or sweep the Bengals then we'll lock up the division title. And it's a sort of positive and negative that we have a team that could go deep in the playoffs considering our D paired with playoff Flacco will be difficult to beat. A positive because winning is great and a SB would be amazing but a negative because we have clear holes and the more we win the later we pick in the draft, at least the CB class is amazing this year, we need better depth there so we can get rid of Wright.

We're easily in playoff contention and are probably the favorites to win the division at this point, so we're definitely playing for more than pride and reps.

[hn68wb4]

I don't see Mornhinweg being fired after the season, I agree that it's a bit unfair to judge him considering he was thrust into the OC position and he's not really running his own system, he's making do with Trestman's playbook which is fit for a CFB team. The FO will give him a year with his own system and an offseason to implement it.

[Willbacker]

This game is a must win especially with it being at home. Sorry to hear bout the Bungles losing Green but not having Jimmy on Dez really put the whomping on us against the Boys.

[Edgar]

Bengals won't be able to score. No excuse for not putting it on them. No excuse for a slow offensive start. It really shouldn't be close.

Carson Palmer gave me many headaches at the Bank.

[usmccharles]

We are suppose to win this game.  They have their number one offensive weapon out, they haven't played good at all, Gio is out.  I picked the bengals to go 8-8 this year...but damn, didn't expect them to be this bad.  I think our defense will really show up this game.  I expect no run game, again. 

[AsianRice]

Ppl must be watching crickets if they don't see how important Jimmy is....He's the core of our secondary and by shutting down 1 side of the field, Pees call dial up pass rush easily and pressure QB on every play.....You just can't play aggressive if you have to worry about the backfield.........

Rex Ryans knows how much Darrelle Davis meant for him in defense cuz by shutting down 1side of the field, he can literally can go after the QB aggressively......

Same goes for Pees, if Jimmy plays, our defense will have a great day and if Jimmy not playing, we are back to mediocre defense.  Even Suggs knows it and did publicly saying it....

 

If Jimmy plays against the Bengals, we will shut out the Bengals and send them back into the room with Browns...

 

If Jimmy not playing, some unknown Bengals receivers will have a probowl day......our team will barely beat the Bengals, even AJ Green is ruled out against us...
