Week 17 - Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals

[OUravensfan]

Defense sucks too

[Edgar]

Dalton playing well despite missing Green, Eifert , Bernard.

lol Harbs said we are a good team not great. Well we are a bad team with the potential to be good, but need a lot of pieces for that!

B will shouldn't be re-signed. 

His play has gone down big time. I wouldn't give him much.

I agree. He completely disappeared in the last 4-5 weeks.

I love pitta but is it time to get rid of joes besty

Agree.  The Ravens are more than just Flacco and his sidekick Pitta.

[Cillmatic]

Refs didn't see that hold on Smith?

[darklight1216]

If the Bengals have their starters in next season's games, Baltimore is going to get stomped. And that is yet another reason why it's so sad they couldn't take advantage of the opportunities they had this year.

 

"The Baltimore Ravens are just not very talented in the secondary." 

That was a true statement, but you could probably leave off the last three words and still be right.

 

Get well soon, Jimmy.

I never want to hear joe is elite talk ever again he is tier 3-4 at best

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

Lol, 

Goofy announcer just said "I cant believe the space around these receivers" that would be our Pees Special Prevent Zone defense, play 10-15 yds off the ball

[Nge2grads]

Thankfully it is just about halftime.  The agony is close to being over.

The gang's all here!  

[ravens rule]

No AJ and we struggling badly

[757RavensFan]

Cody who??? doesn't matter.  Our DBs make nobodies look good!

[Smothy]

Hopefully they play backups in the second half. I want to see players who give a damn.

That's what heady and intelligent QBs are able to do.

Well, you never heard me say that so I'm good!  

[MichaelJ34]

While Jimmy Smith may be a big loss the bigger issue is that he doesn't stay healthy time to get another #1 corner if you can't stay healthy you aren't helping the team

[metalraven]

So, this is why winning in Pitt would likely have not made a difference as far as playoffs are concerned. The Bengals own the Ravens, and their D owns Joe (most defenses do); so winning in Pitt would have only prolonged the inevitable.

Let's stop with the revisionist history being attempted on these forums of late. Joe has flat stunk this year and he wasn't very good last year.

Joe is "ok" when compared to who else would be available but he had a good run from 2008-2012 where you could never count him out. He played great or terrible. Then after the SB and his payday I might add he had 1 good year and that was thanks to Kubiaks system. He seems to have lost whatever he had before the SB. Drive I guess. Its like he did it and now he's done. 

[ravens rule]

That damn contract gives me nightmares

[jdynamite]

doesnt even look like this will be competitive.  I'm all about draft position now, but a loss means nothing if those other 7 & 8 win teams don't win. 

 

Back when we had the 4 game losing streak I kept saying I just hope we don't go 8-8 with bad draft pick. That's a recipe for mediocrity Jeff Fisher type stuff.

I'm pretty sure watching this game is almost against the Geneva conventions regarding  inhumane torture

[codizzle]

Cody core and Rex burkhead shredding the defense..

Please give the ball to mallet and just sit everyone besides Steve

Dalton is superior to Flacco by a long mile at least in this game.

How about the playoffs... Playoffs Dalton looks like Ryan Leaf in the playoffs

[BmoreBird22]

Harbaugh said the team would fight as hard as they could and play to win and the players basically spit in his face and said no.

[metalraven]

Where are all of Flacco's online security guards today? Thought for sure they'd come on here and remind us all of 2012.

And sometimes, less than that!

[Wildabeast88]

Joe is sucking to get a WR to bad we will draft a pass rusher and a CB before a WR G or C sorry Joe
