CarsonCity Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Tough not to predict a Ravens win this week, but holy hell, pretty much every single one is calling for a blowout. Now I wanna win not just to improve in the standings and inch closer to the playoffs, but to shut assholes like these up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ain't played no one worth a fly fart and lost to the only team that was. Bal 38 - KC 24 Bal 31 - SD 26 Bal 34 - Clev 3 NE 27 - Bal 21 We lost one game on a fluke play to an unbeaten team. And we have yet to play our best game or even put 4 good quarters in a row. Could be a real rude awakening for the displaced Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBeaverHunter Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 With the lack of our offensive production and the Ravens putting up points like they do, it is hard not to call for a blowout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeb Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Gaither is dinged. Oher either fills in at left which stunts their running game or Odom racks up several new sacks getting past a dinged Gaither. Which means we should have a lot of 3 and outs this game for our D. I think we win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scharm Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 There's just a lack of respect from the Baltimore group and it's fans. Despite actually have a winning record over them in the last 12 games (6 seasons) and several occuring in Baltimore, it's annoying. With a coach that played a big part in their championship. I think the Bengals actually get more respect from the Steelers media as they are often quick to point previous times when the Bengals had beaten them. It's annoying. The Ravens are good. The bengals will need to put top effort to come away with the win. Predicting blowouts? I don't know, I guess we'll see. I think Bengals win.

JC Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Sadly enough.. I see another close game. Fuck. Good thing I don't have any papers to write sunday night. Hopefully we can get the air game going and then the run game after. Baltimore gave up nearly 400 yards to noodle-arm Rivers. And 3 straight AFC North games..how the fuck did that happen. We got dicked there. Throw the Raiders in there one week. Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Jersey Bengal Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 [quote name='CarsonCity' date='08 October 2009 - 12:41 PM' timestamp='1255016493' post='812849'] Tough not to predict a Ravens win this week, but holy hell, pretty much every single one is calling for a blowout.

No one knows what will happen or what the score will be. Tony Moss who writes for thesportsnetwork.com says there is no way we match the Ravens physicality. I agree with him because I think they have a better O Line than us right now because of shrewd drafting. But I do think our O Line is up and coming especially when we add Andre Smith. I do hope we win though as I always do but it;s going to be tough. I also do think we are a team now something we have not been in the past.[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F.Cleveland Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Not much in the way of predictions, just a few things that make me think it's anyones game regarless of hype. The two battles that matter most: Bengals O vs. Ravens D: Our O is just hitting it's stride, but needs to be consistent. The Ravens D is it's normal self, minus the brain behind it all. They are still the fucking Ravens D. We've played them a number of times and we know what to expect only this time they're not the shut down d they once were. They're good, but not piss your pants good. I think people on here buy in to the hype and forget that the last 3 years we've played them, we take what they give and move the ball anyway. Maybe we aren't scoring machines, but they don't lay down. A large part of their power comes from being intimidated. Do you really think Carson and co are intimidated by them? Child Please. Bengals D vs. Ravens O: Their O has changed to a heavier pass with still the ability to run. Our D has been consistent and better than we've had in a long time. Ravens O and Flacco in particular is good, but again not piss your pants good(like New Orleans). They are probably akin to a pass-happy Steeler O. Pressure is the difference this time. If we can pressure Flacco, we can win this side of the ball. No pressure, we fail. Our D needs to take advantage of ANY mistake they make, period. We put the pressure on them and keep them at or around 21 points I feel like our offense can do it. Just like any marquis matchup in the AFC North, mistakes and pressure will determine who wins. The problem for Baltimore is that they think thy've already got the game won. Let's smack the arrogance off thier face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineBengal Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 It'll be interesting, for sure. For once, the Bengals' D seems legit, and for once, the Ravens O seems legit. I think this end of things will determine the outcome.... Mostly because we know Carson has the Ravens' D down. He's got their number, beaten them many times in a row up until last year when Rex Ryan game planned for Cincy all through the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
