“I would not want to be the Bears-on Sunday." Boo ! Goes along the lines of our scary Defense

Echoing Crav and Oldno, I have no clue which team shows up. Conventional wisdom says we start out slow on offense yet again (imagine that!), our dysfunctional defense allows Justin Fields to light up our secondary, and we get behind right away. Maybe Lamar and the O figure it out but I don’t see a scenario where we win in except for another come from behind game like Minnesota or Detroit. Otherwise, it looks like a get right game for Fields and Chicago, and Harbs is will be clamoring that we got to look at the tapes and get better. Maybe playing the Browns at home the following weekend brings about a sense of urgency to help turn this ship around. My two cents ….

Well, lets hope we learned something from MIA debacle. Chicago's D and Khalil Mack will be bringing the house. I say we run the dang ball down their throats - like we did to LA and Denver - and open up the passing game. Lets hope this becomes the "get well" game for Lamar & Co.

Well Lamar's got to be growing tired of the offensive ineptitude. Something is going to have to give

Lamar and The Ravens were never ready tonight. The absence of a legit offensive backfield and number of guys on the DL, esp the secondary, has finally caught up with these guys. The Bears and Justin Fields should be licking their chops !

Its todays NFL. Everyone had us in a blowout. D making Jacoby Brissett looks like Tom Brady and offense is stagnant yet again. We are lucky to be down by a FG should be down by a TD.

Fins - Ravens ? After cowgirls and Broncos; Bills and Jax, who the heck knows. It would be nice to play a complete game, go 7-2 and see a big smile on Lamar's face.

Stephens is indeed raw. I remember Rod Woodson in preseason saying how much of a huge upside he has. He really likes Stephens and sees a future star !

Guys, if you would have told me before the start of the season and after losing our ENTIRE backfield, we would be 6-2 and 2nd seed in the AFC, I would have said your are nuts. The record is probably a manifestation of good fortune, decent breaks and favorable schedule, but somehow this staff has duct taped the team together and pulled off a decent start ( with ca. 20 guys on the DL). Lamar has been the Dude and, in spite of his many imperfections, had lead the troops to a more than respectable record. Like every NFL team and the cant miss SB bound teams - see Dallas and Buffalo - this team has its share of weak links and flaws. Hey, we may go on a big L streak and run out of gas by the end of the season. But I think this team is a work in progress and will evolve like every other NFL roster. Maybe, just maybe, this team will hang in there, Lamar will have fun and we make the playoffs again. Who knows, but I'm hopping on the crazy bandwagon and seeing where Lamar can take this duct taped, flawed team !

Ricard is a dang beast; he's like Kyle Jysek (sp) on steroids. Too bad he's not a bit faster; he could almost play TE

Cardiac kids strike again ! Great W but this game shows its razor thin between winning and losing.

after the Cincy debacle I don’t know what to expect. something tells me it’ll be a white knuckler at the end.

Cincy will be a tough battle, almost another tossup. With all the media falling in love with us and Buffalo for the AFCs best, this game has the makings of trap. Presumably, Harbs nips that in the bud.
