Week 12: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly post game discussion/rant Bengals edition!

[Moderator 2]

WTG Justin Tucker!

Please rember we are Ravens Fans so no name calling, veiled profanity or death threats!

[Ravens4Real]

Offense is still trash. May honestly have Tucker outscore the O if this continues. 

D played well against a depleted Bengals squad. Hopefully get Jimmy back next week because it's a huge game against a team with many more weapons than this Bengals team.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

The good: Kenneth Dixon is the future. Perriman's TD was awesome. Left side of the oline made a few key blocks. The defense except one drive. 

The bad: The rest of the oline/offense. 

The ugly: Andy Dalton

[Deflated Football]

Glad we finally beat the Bengals, and more importantly, the referees. 

[reed20]

Great coaching by harbaugh great call to take the safety. NFL may change a rule on that he totally took advantage of being able to hold there. Orr was choking a guy out!!

[Doomville]

As usual, my heart almost died.

Tucker is God. Legatron

Offense cannot be consistent for the life of them and marty is not the answer at OC

Defense NEEDS jimmy smith and pass rush before 4th quarter

[arnie_uk]

Oline is awful. Dixon and west could have ran for 60 70 more yards had they any blocking. 

Dixon making guys miss 5 yards deep.

Flacco running for his life multiple tmes with unblocked rushers right up the middle

[Ravenseconbeast]

Another garbage performance by Joe Flacco.   Had over 13 drives to do something.   Last drive he had to keep the drives going.  Instead he only lasted a full minute and 12 seconds.   By some miracle we batted +5 balls off of Dalton on that last drive and stripped him off his ball.   Miracle defense play.   

Worse than Kyle Boller in every shape and form possible by Joe Fluker.   I told you he wasn't going to do squat after 1st drive.   He nearly ended our season.  Glad we are still alive.  Thanks to the Defense!

[hn68wb4]

Well that was an interesting ending...

The great: The "hands up" strategy at the end may be a sign that Pees may well be capable of adapting to our lack of pass rush, that was beautiful, merging our FG block abilities and our needs at the end of the game, sure it stops the clock, but man that was perfect.

The good: Tucker is the best kicker, as if there was any doubt. Defense held up alright without Jimmy, but god do we miss him. Also, Hester showed signs of life here and there.

The bad: Offense still can't move, and it's killing me. Offense's discipline in the 4th quarter is laughable.

[Militant X 1]

Good: Tucker, Tucker, Tucker!

Bad: THE OFFENSE IS TRASH!!!

Ugly: THE OFFENSE IS TRASH!!!

[ludy51]

4-0 against the division. Enough said

Do yourself a favor and find yourself another team that has a QB you like.

That final drive with the first down run, the unblocked mlb up the middle on second down so he throws it away and then pitta not making the sticks on third down?

That drive?

Fixed that. I think Wallace and Perriman are good players and think Dixon is the RB of the future. But that doesn't matter if the line sucks which it does. 

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

My heart was jumpin' around the last few seconds of the game. All I saw was Bengal players all on the turf and a whole bunch of yellow flags. Good game over all.

[Bltravens]

Say this, Harbaugh knows his ST.

[Sir Spooky]

Justin Tucker is the GOAT and how about our D-line on the last drive. 4 knockdowns and another strip sack. 

 

This offense though... 3 50+ yard field goals. Only 19 points and again the offensive production drops in the 2nd half. Also, the run game still leaves a lot to desire especially when we need it to ice a game. The O-line is so frustrating because imagine if they could give West and Dixon 2-3 yards before contact. I miss the Ravens of old. 

[D_UP]

Justin tucker

doom and Suggs 

Dixon. All good. 

QB play suspect.

I like my team.  You and Flacco can leave though to another delusional fanbase.  Thats up to you

[52liveforever]

The coaching today was unbelievable. Kudos to the coaching staff today, they collectively called a great game.

[757RavensFan]

Great: JT Tucker

Bad: More drive killing penalties. 

Ugly:  Offense

BTW, stop whining about the safety we took to end the game. No one complained when we did it to win the Superbowl. 

[Cillmatic]

Offense is terrible. Tucker is God. Harbaugh's getting fined. On to Miami!

Three points. Second half.

Don't bother. He ignores the fact that in that situation we should be running it to ice the game especially with West and Dixon who are tough backs. The blocking still leaves a lot to desire. 

[Ravensfan23]

I blame coaching for the 2nd half offensive production. It just always seems like this team is scared to put people away and they play not to lose instead of play to win. Then we you actually need the offense to crank it up they just seem cold and out of rhythm. I don't know if that is  trust thing or what but he has to get better. 

Great to see both Boyle and Doom back on the field. Boyle had a few really good blocks today. 

Great to see Perriman get into the endzone, sucks that he only had 2 targets. I know the Bengals focus was to take away deep plays, but I would have still liked to see him more involved. 

Dixon has a lot of Ray Rice in him and I think he'll be huge for this offense going forward. I like he and West together but I think he brings much more for this offense. 

How much more can you say about JT Money. He could very well be the best Kicker of all time. 

I'll give the Bengals props. I thought they were ready to quite on their season but I thought they fought hard today and you'd expect nothing less from this division even in a down year. 

Note to the Ravens, just try to bat the ball down all game because getting pressure just doesn't seem possible outside of Suggs and Timmy. 

Once again the penalties hurt this team, other than the last play of the game which was just smart by Harbs and Jerry. Can't wait to break this game down. 

[JO_75]

Great:

- November 10th, 2013, the last time we beat the Bengals. The 5 game winning streak by the Bengals.... Is Over. 

- Doom can still perform at a high level. The way he played, you could tell we missed him.

- We are now 4-0 in the Division and remain atop the AFC North.

The Bad:

- Gotta clean up the penalties.

- Not enough Mike Wallace

- Not running more often.

The... Amazing:

- Justin Tucker!

 

 

[kiwi_raven]

The elite: Tucker!!!!!! Special teams wrestling federation.

The good: first half play by the offense and defense. Hands up defense in 4th quarter. 

The bad: second half offense and defense.

Ugly: the penalties

Almost. You didn't fix the ugly

[ravens rule]

 I think Campanero has to be on the 53 man roster. He can give us immediate production from the slot. Remember he could've went elsewhere so he will get activated soon.

[VermontRaven]

Staying positive and going good better and best:

Good:  Defense coming up with big deflections and strip sack on final drive!

Better:  Tucker is the man!!!

Best:  1st place in AFC NORTH (and 4-0 in division games)
