Wow, has the worm turned. Rivers was barely passable, pun intended. 120 yards on 18 completions? Either he has put on a ton of weight or he is wearing more armor than King Richard did when he went to war. They have 3 tough games left, and are likely to finish 8-9, expected when you lose your starting qb, but then who expected Jones to play as he did... I guess Richardson is done there..

Sadly I agree, I don't think that this will be much of a game for very long. This defense is terrible at staying home, covering the backside of the line of scrimmage. The Pats love to use cut back runs. Fitting I suppose as it will be another game they would have won last year, especially at home

One quick look at their records and one would think the Pats should be an overwhelming favorite. But a closer look shows that they have only beaten three teams with a 500 record or better, 2 of them are 7-7. Oh wait, that is where the Ravens currently sits, at 500, 7-7, right up the alley for the Pats. Coming off of a shutout against the high-flying Bengals, this Ravens team seems to have found their major, or have they only found mojitos? Baltimore did pitch a shutout, which is impressive, but the Bengal offense dominated the time of possession for the game. The Ravens offense only managed to score 17 pts, enough to win when the other team doesn't score, but hardly anything to get excited about. Certainly not enough to say the highscoring, top 5 offense of last is back. Sure, they did score on a long drive that took them only 40 seconds just before half, but the rest of the game was filled with the typical miscues that have dogged this team this year. Receivers not catching the ball that would have been a touchdown, tipping a pass to the defender, stopping a drive in its tracks. Penalties, missed blocks, missed tackles, we had it all.. So what happens in this game, likely more of the same, So, who ya got?

I fully expect them to lose all 3, just the way they have played all season says that and much more about this team.

Yep, I am just leery that this latest performance, while very good, will be "evidence" for the front office to keep Orr. I will be shocked if the Ravens beat NE & or GB, sucks that both games got moved to night games. I realize NE hasn't beaten anyone with a winning record, at least not many teams. But they are clicking on all cylinders even with the melt down against the Bills, blowing the 21 pt lead.... 8 and 9 might win the division, pending what the Steelers do, but it should get people not named Todd Monken, fired even if it wins the div.

Too bad, he was starting to show something, very good along the line of scrimmage, meh, in coverage...

Cinci line is crap, but do realize, lest I refresh your memory, what that Cinci offense has done to this defense over the past few years? True, Jones and Robinson would not be "starting" on many teams, but they would be in the rotation. These two are a start to a very good rotation IF Eric & company can find a couple more, especially an edge rusher.

That is a shame. I see Parsons went down too on a non contact injury

Lions out of the playoffs, not as big a shocker as the Cheifs, but still,

Yep, no sense risking him. Quite an impressive run by the, 5 super bowls, 3 wins, 10 straight div titles.

Brown was spinning and cutting exceptionally well today, most backs would not have had the success he did today Frankly, any time you can keep Burrow from throwing all game is a good chance of winning. As I said in the game thread, I think the wind got into his head, a few early passes sailed in him and he rarely tried those passes again. I'm not saying this defensive line is fixed with A Jones and Robinson, but it is a very good start. Last year in limited snaps because of injury or just plain depth, they did great. Now that they are the big Dawgs, we see the result; collapsed pocket. If this team had a half decent edge rusher Burrow would not have had time to complete those 5 yard passes

Today was a good test for the 2. Without them in the 1st game, Burrow had all day to throw. With them both in, they were a force in his face all game and a big reason why this team got a shutout

To add insult to injury, Mahomes hurt his knee, how badly xrays will tell... at the least, hyper extended

24-0 Ravens! What a play! Robinson forced the errant pass 7:38 Good news, you scored and stopped a score Bad news, you go back out there after that long drive and the return From their own 30 Run up the middle for 7 Under 7 minutes Run right for 2 3rd and 1 Run up the middle for 5 Under 6 minutes Looks like Bengals are waiting the white flag, smart Using all of the play clock Run up the middle for 3 2nd and 7 Under 5 minutes Pass in the flat almost picked by Wiggins, incomplete 3rd and 7 Run up the middle for 4 4th and 3 Going for it Under 4 minutes Pass in the flat for 12, pushed out of bounds Run up the middle for 2 Run right for 2 3rd and 6 Under 3 minutes Short middle pass complete for 5 4th and 1 Run up the middle for, for no gain! Turn over on downs, game, set match a shut out! That is bad news for those who want Orr fired
