Thanks for the updates. I can’t bear to watch.

Gonna be frozen ground, I hope Lamar brings a ton of sets of cleats to ensure good footing when cutting.

I agree no team is perfect. But the teams that have the tools to hamper this offense are here. I don’t like having a qb that is so easily confounded. And a qb like that who has gotten overconfident on the weak concerns me in the playoffs. Again it’s the losing the same way that concerns me.

Never has anyone made more excuses for a position than Dan.

Remember ngatas 2nd season? He missed the pro bowl even though he was awesome but that tub of goo from tenn went on a down season.

I have given up on that and every other league award given out. They are all suspect. The hof is also a joke. Horse trading for entry is bs.

Saw the trailer and it was awful.

Freaking Mike Carey.

the difference between a win and a loss is small most times. Is he or is he not a force multiplier? That’s what we paid for letting a lot of talent walk. Penalties are a hallmark of a turdy team. No doubt. He really helped me with ff today.

Agree with all of that. It looked to me that the Bengals' receivers, and Gesicki in particular, were whining about the coverage and wanting PI penalties throughout the game while what I saw was just some good man-to-man sticky coverage. And let's face it...a ref can probably call holding on every play if they want to. There's a lot of reasons this referee crew leads the league in flags thrown, just as Tsyl said before the game was ever played!

I see many talking heads calling out the refs for some calls. One comes to mind, they claim holding on Gisike on the 2 pt try. But as Bart Scott points out, Gisikie was trying to draw a foul, stuck his arm between the arms of the defender, then flailing and falling to the ground. No, the penalty should have been on him for unsportsmanlike.. Sure, Burrow got hit in the face mask, but did you notice the holding be done to that defender? No call there either. Or how about, on the same play, the hands to the face being done to VanNoy? All 3 penalties, 2 on the Bengals, one on the Ravens, happened right in front of the flag happy official, but he called none of them. I could point out others on the Bengals defense for holding in the secondary, or illegal contact on them, but we're not called. Yes, sure, Cinci only had 3 penalties, yes, sure, believe what you want. We have a great quarterback now, running, passing, buying time and weapons who know how to get open. Now to fix the pass defense as so many players said in the locker ooh after the game.

Let me start with 11-3 in numbers. Yes, the Ravens won that stat too; penalties. So you are saying the Bengals only had 3 penalties? With that much of a pass rush to always be a step behind? With shifty receivers like Flowers and Bateman? Only 3 on a night when the Ravens had 11? I'll get to the game, the incredible game in a minute, almost done wathing the 6 times a member of the Ravens was rushing, trying to get inside to sack a moving Burrow, but was held, seen, and not called.

Good run by Jackson there on 3rd and 10.

Everyone knows it’s going to Godwin but his completions are outpacing teams. He has more yac than entire teams. btw spacing the backers gives their run game more room to operate.

Stephen’s had great d on that. Terry just made a sick catch.

Top 10 coach all time? Hyperbole much there romo? lomardi, Gibbs, tuna, belicheck, noll , Johnson, Walsh, Landry, Shula, brown, madden, steam, and ewbanks all off the top of my head are way better

I have not been to Arby’s in yrs. I love checkers. I live about 8 mins from them.

Is it just me or are there are a lot of Ravens fans in Dallas today?

Yes, Tucker is automatic inside 50, but now 1 for 7 from 50 and beyond. Today is was one reason this team lost the game. Staying with kicking, Stout was anything but, today averaging 43 per, with one going only 20 when the Ravens really needed him to boom one. On the season so far, averaging just 37, with 2 inside the 20. His rookie year, 2022, he averaged 45 yards, with 7 touchbacks and 26 inside the 20. Last year, a bit better, 5 touchbacks, 28 inside the 20. His net yards has also gone down each year. Sure, that can be semantics as it is based on coverage. But hang time plays a big role in coverage, so keep that in mind, 40, 39, and 37 this year so far. I know, I am eating my words right now saying it is only game 2, Stout has time to work things out. Getting run into doesn't help, the blocking has been suspect. But they got him for yes, dropping it I side the 20 when a drive stalls around the 50. But more so for when the team is pinned inside its own 20 and they need the field flipped. Today was not the first game he has failed to flip the field. It has been low punts that go far but allow for big returns. Today's 20 yard punt at the worst time, with less than 3 mins left and a one score game, ouch. As with Tucker's miss in the first half, that last punt also played a big role in the loss. Time will tell but we may be seeing the end of a punter and kicker here if they can't turn this around. They will be needed if this offense and defense can get things worked out and the team makes a run toward the playoffs.

They are just letting lv hang around. These are games that you let get away from you.

My question too, maybe they need to see if game experience for the big fella will work? As far as the defenese, there were growing pains with McDonald, hopefully that is all it is now...

The coaching staff blinks..the players follow coaches' decisions.

Anything for more revenue.

Cj has to prove he is more than a one hit wonder

Well...I'll say this. If I'm playing against a QB, I'd rather play Lamar than CJ. Lamar really has to prove he can the big game.

A half-assed result. What's a fine and letter worth to the team that commits the foul: peanuts. Either keep the damned thing or ban it by penalty.
