[News] 5 Things To Watch vs. Cincinnati Bengals

[BR News]

Kicker Justin Tucker can set the record for most field goals from 50 yards or beyond. The Ravens could give some young players more snaps. Steve Smith’s final game is the main attraction.

bench joe an everyone else plays to an extent on d i would put in all my young players i want to see judon play multiple downs in a row not 1-2 then out for3-5 how is he going to show his true talents sharing the load with4-7 other guys its time to see what he can do same with elam bench webb an see what he does so we can finally cut him its put up or shut up time an i would love to see all but 4 guys from our secondary cut i would keep weedle brooks young and smith unless we can trade him for a 2nd round pick but what i really want is to see this coaching staff fired and ozzie retire

[BigUgly]

Would love to see Mallett throw for 400 yds and scores to SSSr, Reynolds, and Moore. Also really interested to see Onwuasor play in the middle - that dude has a nasty streak this team sorely needs.

[Ravensfansince03]

Tucker has been magnificent this entire season. Flawless to say the least. I played football, and I understand the tradition of players not caring too much about kickers. But Justin Tucker is an exception to that, this dude has earned his respect. He's earned his reputation as one of the few kickers in NFL history to be recognized as an Elite.

[Ravensfansince03]

Joe Flacco does not deserve to sit on the bench. Ozzie, Biscotti, you better get every penny of that $120,000,000 your paying Flacco. If I was them I'd have Flacco returning kicks as well.

Just kidding about the kick returning part

Heres wishing that we are far better than meaty-ogre in 2017...... and tomorrow

Ridiculous comment! Even the kidding part.

[mearzunkies]

Tucker is THE MAN!

Me too - that way, some bonehead team will give Mallet $10 million and we get another high comp pick....

[jsarrocohome@yahoo.com]

I would rather see the Defense hold on to the lead

[JimmyBlack]

I'd like to see, Smith score a TD, Reynolds return kicks, and Tucker hit a 50 yard FG to win the game.

[law215]

I'd like to see Ravens walk off the field completely healthy.

Webb has been playing well this year, and I am not sure how much we would save by cutting him, but whatever that number is will be the deciding factor on whether we keep him or cut him. Brooks was one of the final cuts to get down to the 53 man roster. He was claimed by the Eagles. The first time he played a defensive snap for them was last week on the very last play of the game. He ended up intercepting Eli's hail mary attempt, to seal the victory. He was definitely one of the most surprising cuts during the off season.

I thought it was funny. Even just picturing Joe doing it. He would get blasted so bad!! LOL

I agree with all of this except Elam should've been gone a LONG time ago. If Elam and Wright are on this team next year.......I don't even know. Management will be testing me that's for sure. My two least favorite "ravens" ever. They have to be in the top 5 worst ravens of all time too. So embarrassing that Harbaugh kept Wright on this team. He couldn't even make the 49ers for a reason...Can't make the worst team in the league, but he can start for the Ravens defense???? And line up opposite AB in Pitt when the division is on the line. Garbage Garbage coaching all around this year. We need a whole new staff wihtout question

[sizzlingdoom]

I'd like to see:
SSS with 18 rec for 243 yards and 2tds
Tucker nail a 70 yarder with 5 yards to spare
Joe not play AT ALL, And Mallet tear it up, resulting in a comp pick
All the young players on D, esp Judon
A loss. Yeah scold me if you want, but it could make a huge difference for the future of the Ravens
Harbaugh coach like he's coached all year, which should result in getting canned
Perriman step up, and show us he can be a major contributer for the future

[Rav'n Maniac]

I don't care much about the outcome of the game. For me, it has about as much juice as a preseason game. Just want to see our guys leave the field healthy.

It would take all of 10 seconds for Harbaugh to get another job. Don't hold your breath on Perriman. Not a Player just another WR "Roster Filler"

[whobilly]

I hope they let Tuck attempt a 70 yard FG in the worthless Pro Bowl.

Harbaugh WILL be back next year. Elam contract is over this year so that worthless #1 Pick will be gone.

It might take Harbs 10 seconds to find another job, but to think missing playoffs 3 out of the last 4 years won't warm his seat is a mistake.

Harbs inherited a team that in 2006 was 13-3 and 2007 was 5-11 because QB was hurt. Ownership was tired of Billick. Since the vets left in 2012, what has he done? ...

Make the playoffs in one season sliding under the door as a wildcard, go through 3 OCs (Caldwell, Trestman, Marty), one of the most penalized teams, draft picks not developing or seeing significant playing time, and made in game decisions that cost the team wins.

2017 is a hot seat year.

You forgot to add the Super Bowl WIN. Also forgot to mention IF Lee Evans hangs onto the TD Pass in NE in 2011 we would have made two SB appearances. Ask the fans of the Eagles, Browns, Bills, Chargers, Bengals, Texans, Titans, Jags, Chiefs, Falcons, Rams, Cardinals, Bears, Lions, Vikings, and several others how they feel about the Ravens.

[The Greek]

ian rappaport is reporting that morningweg will be out as oc after the season which is no surprise and that greg roman could be a candidate to replace him. if roman gets the job than next year will be harbs last. as far as the game today i hope the key starters are pulled early and lets see what we have with the younger guys and mallett

If harbaugh was a better clock manager lee evans drop wouldn't mean anything .9 years 1 super bowl that's less than 10 % we are not Cleveland eagles or whoever we expect more and that's what makes great teams great when you settle for less you become less home 3 out of last 4 years no playoffs maybe instead of looking at everybody else we should look at the HEAD Coach after all he is the one in charge

Webb has been playing well this year, and I am not sure how much we would save by cutting him, but whatever that number is will be the deciding factor on whether we keep him or cut him. Brooks was one of the final cuts to get down to the 53 man roster. He was claimed by the Eagles. The first time he played a defensive snap for them was last week on the very last play of the game. He ended up intercepting Eli's hail mary attempt, to seal the victory. He was definitely one of the most surprising cuts during the off season.

if they cut webb they will save 5.5 mil but lose 2 mil to dead money. doom would save 6 mil but add 2.3 mil in dead money so if they released both it would create 11.5 in cap money but give us 4.3 in dead. im sure they will both be asked to take pay cuts 1st.

[gooftroop]

This seems to run contrary to public opinion, but, aside from no major injuries, what I want most is win. We're playing the Bengals. I mean, do you think there will be any revelations, at this point in the season? I don't. Just get a W...

[law215]

First drive and Flacco has been hit twice and almost picked. Is an injury worth just passing to pad numbers in a meaningless game?

Im with you there. The only outcome to this game that I would be upset with is if a key player on our team gets injured. You have got to be kidding me. As I am writing this Eric Weddle is limping off the field. Hopefully it isn't serious.
