Seriously. Does anybody here honestly think we'll beat Cinci?

[Tornado700]

No. Nada. Nay. Never. Not a chance.

Our chances of the 6th seed? 5 %. At best.

8-8. Time for the Front Office to re-group and start over. This experiment did not work. I'll be the first to admit it.

Start over with a new re-vamped O line. Get us a # 1 receiver. The D will get better with experience. Special team is fine.

Sorry to be so pessimistic. Just keeping it real here.

[OutsideRzAcE]

It depends how hard Cinci plays. If the Pats get out to a big lead Cinci could pull their starters at half. Either way I think Joe has a good day.

[papasmurfbell]

They don't need a #1 WR. They have a pretty good crew. They need a consistent TE and running game so they can do their job. I expect a TE in the first 3 rounds. Pitta being injured really hurt the Ravens.

[varaven45]

It's obvious Joe wasn't right yesterday. We aren't winning without a 100% healthy Joe. I'd almost rather give Tyrod a shot with the No 1 team. He practically beat the Bengals- with their starters in almost the entire game - last year in Cincy. We need to find out whether this kid has anything or draft/pick up a legit No 2 in the offseason.

[papasmurfbell]

Isn't TT's rookie deal done this yr? I can't see them giving more than the 6th round tender for him.

[varaven45]

Perhaps. All the reason to give him a final shot, esp if it gets out of hand.

[ravinmaniac52]

Sure we can. We beat them before. Everything is out the window we you play in your own division.

That's true but they are a different animal at home. They are going to be going real hard for that 2nd seed.

I know another team that is a different animal at home but all I heard was this big thud of an elephant!

[cravnravn]

We need outside help and we are not going to get it..

 

I think we are picking 18 in the draft

[Robjr83]

I think they have a shot at beating Cincy. That being said I think KC is resting their team and I don't trust the Jets. Put a fork in this season. Dismantle that horrible Oline, get another big TE for Joe.

[Spen]

I think they have a chance, they have been up and down a lot this season. Maybe they will end on an up week. It wont be easy, they may need to score more than 20 points something they cannot do often.

 

Seriously in 15 games this team has scored 20 or less points 10 times. Thats awful.

 

We'll probably go after defensive help in the offseason and be in the same boat this time next season.

Knowing Oz he'll go with a DT/DE... maybe draft a Center in the 7th round

Nooooooooo!!! Say it ain't so.

[thundercleetz]

Absolutely we have a chance. Imagine how different the Pats game would have been if Flacco hadn't under thrown Torrey on the second play of the game. Even going down 20-0, we were still in the game in the fourth quarter driving in Pats territory down 20-7. We'll be in this game, it will all come down to offensive line play and the play of our defense in the fourth quarter (both of which have been terrible this season).

[varaven45]

There 's always a chance; always hope.

With Joe's condition; however; it's highly unlikely for us to win this game.

[tgann68]

I think Marvin plays his starters just long enuff to realize the Ravens are really trying to win and his team really has a shot at an injury. When that happens he pulls his guys bc it ain't worth losing a starter.

 

If the Ravens D isn't flying around like mad men Sunday then they should all be traded

[vmax]

One thing the Ravens have going for them this week is that they won't be out coached.

[OutsideRzAcE]

Marvin plays his guys for a half I bet. 2nd half will be backups.
