The Browns got their ass's handed to them last night.

Mayfield got benched. Beckham was a comedic no show.

 

Looks like Pittsburgh, Cincinatti and the Browns are struggling mightily.

 

Now...once again, can the Ravens not fumble another opportunity to take control of the AFC North?

Well, the Browns are showing that they are still the Browns... How long till Bekham explodes? Two games now only 2 catches?

 

So the Ravens get to be the best of the worst... This div might be worse than the South...

Why am I nervous about sunday.total trap game. Ravens 11 point favs. No AJ Greene. Not confident at all.

If Dalton gets time he will pick this defense a part, he has for years when they don't get pressure on him.

 

They will be desperate for a win, yeah, this game should worry people.

So what gives you any clue, that pressure will be applied? I'm not seeing it from what I've seen in the last 4 weeks..

This year is different.

The Bengals are 29th in scoring at 16 points per game.

Sounds crazy yet the Ravens have the #1 scoring offense...somewhere around 32 points per game.

 

Now the defenses?!????

Bengals give up 27 points per game.

Ravens 24.

 

It's a must win game.

Have you looked at the next 8 games?

They play 6 top ten teams.

Really good teams.

Death Lane.

They have to beat the Bengals...I think we have the edge as long as we don't come out lethargic as in the Browns' game. Green is out and Dalton ain't bad but they seem to have no defense. (kind of like us).

[tsylvester]

Yep, just keep running the ball, run, run & more run; give Tucker the day off & run it into the endzone.

 

Bengals defense giving up 5 yards a gallop and 167 yards a game....

[varaven45]

Yep, pound the rock, take care of the ball, and play good defense. The Bengals are eventually going to get a win. The played the Seahawks tough - 1 pt loss, had the Bills beat and lost on a last minute FG to Cards. They arent scrubs - as many would suggest. We just need to play our game, dominate the LOS, pound the rock, and keep Dalton in duress.

 

Like Max said, get to 4-2 and then get ready for a tough sledding the rest of the season. Its looking more and more like another 7-9 to 9-7 campaign.
