Great find!

LOL!...".....The Bengals are already spooked by Ravens Nation. You know why? Well, they don’t sell out at home even after three straight playoff appearances. People are dressed in tiger outfits like its Tony-the-Tiger day but they have to give away hundreds tickets to fill…the jungle?" That is a well written article.

Check out this video...if only they can back it up. http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/maryland-terrapins-ripped-turtle-mascot-hype-video-big-ten-090514

Can't wait to see his impact....

How the Bengals will arrive at the stadium Sunday.... How the Ravens will arrive....

I got sick watching the Seattle fans celebrate....and pissed off.

Going to be a beautiful day. High 77. No problem figuring out what to wear....

Must be some kind of record...

They have the lowest ticket price in the league.... "Gee. I wonder why?"

Bynes can start for Dallas.

Dalton is at his worst at M&T. He's thrown 7 picks in his last 3 games. 3 picks 52.2 QB rating last year at the Bank. 2012 0 TD's. 1 INT. 65.3 rating. 2011 1 TD. 3 INT's He's not a Ravens killer...

Ravens. Joe is great in the rain...in the cold...in the wind. Dalton is not. This might give the Ravens secondary a break. Both teams will try to run often.

The Cowboys should have taken him instead of Sams.

The league hit him hard....and fairly.

Another reason to be concerned. What's wrong with Webb and Jackson that they feel they have to let Bynes go?

I hear you. Unrealistic expectations can kill a season for" many-a-fan . Most NFL analysts have the Ravens around 8-8 and missing the playoffs. There's too much talent on this team and coaching staff to be mediorcre unless they suffer significant injuries at key positions. If they stay relatively healthy I see them making the playoffs. I do what tsylvester says; "Frankly, I will just sit back and enjoy the season, good or bad" Have you guys seen the new lounge Dee got for us this year? Actually I was shocked to read Joe Platania's prediction. It's so out of character for him. I'll take it as a good sign that the Ravens will be very competitive this year and in the Hunt.

Oh yea! Just ask crav!

The safeties! Wow is that a huge question mark! I hope he's right about the defense. I don't feel as good and I'm a homer.

Joe Platania thinks it's going to be this kind of year....

Last time they played it was 17-17 at the end of the 3rd quarter and then the defense fell apart in the 4th quarter and Joe had a terrible game including a pick 6. Playoffs were on the line and the 2013 Ravens could not get it done. To win Sunday the Ravens have to win time of possession. They have to keep the Bengals offense off the field....(6th in scoring 2013). To do that they have to be able to run the ball and the defense get off the field on 3rd down. I hope the #1 preseason rushing offense means they will be able to run on Sunday. I have less faith in the D making stops on 3rd down. They have to prove it to me. The Bengals were the #3 defense in the NFL last year.....5 in points surrendered. Will they pick up where they left off? If they do, then the Ravens lose. The Ravens have the Bengals at home and although it's week 1, it's a must win game in my book....and I don't like the Ravens chances given the performance of the defense. This D has a lot of ground to make up from the unit that was on the field last year. So what do I like? Gary Kubiak has the Bengals number. He owns them. This is not the same offense or offensive line. They were hamstrung with Shipley, a hobbled Yanda, and KO. out for the season. Oher is gone. Everybody is healthy and they are not going with and injured Ray Rice cat RB. I like starting Pierce with Tallefaro and Forsett behind him. The Ravens need to get back to physical, smashmouth football on O. They need to convert 3rd downs and make the tough short yardage runs. They can and will. The 2014 offense is ready for the grind. They will put up points on any defense. Special Teams. Ravens have the edge there with Jacoby Jones and Tucker. Will Koch rebound? I have Ravens O and ST winning. 2/3rds of the formula. So it comes down to defense. The Bengals have some good runners and the Ravens D has to stop them. That will wreck their red zone game. Do that and it's a Ravens win. Do one more thing and it's a guaranteed Ravens win: Pressure Dalton. He sucks under pressure. It will come down to who scores more TD's than FG's. Every FG the Bengals kick is a Ravens win. And vice versa. Ravens win 30-27. Nail biter...we're used to them.
