Checking in.... they're holding the crap out of Higgins. On one play the corner clearly held his arm down. And they hit Burrow in the head/neck without a call. Refs need to step up. Biggest problem I see so far is the 3 and outs and then the quick score. Defense is on the field too much here, they aren't going to be able to keep up with Lamar if they don't get some rest. Let's get some sustained offensive drives in the second half.

Because they go hurry up and Joe's calling shit at the line. That's why..

He’ll demand it, actually.

That drive was huge to get the go ahead 3 points.

Halftime is Bengals 13, Ravens 10

Ravens get the ball to start 2nd Half.

The First Half was like a Boxing Match as Defense controlled until end of Half.

The way these NFL Games work, look for Ravens to have a good opening Half game plan, and then DEFENSE to set back in. However Defenses wear down by 4th quarter, and THAT is when points get scored in most NFL Games, and I look for this game to come down to 4th quarter as Defenses wear down.

GO BENGALS

Are you ever happy friend? What else was they supposed to do. We only had one shot with the time left and that type of pass was the best option. What would you have done? A double reverse?

He would’ve called the play that works. What that play is, who knows, but he would’ve certainly called it.

Run that s**t

The 1988 Bengals ran the uptempo two minute offense on every possession.

The biggest difference I am seeing (on offense) when compared to the past is that there are pass plays that require to hit the WR in stride and no one is giving up after the catch.

Really good hard fought half. Offense looks more in sync after that last drive. Hopefully they can build on that in the second half and negate their pass rush a bit. Going well outside of a few too many hits on Burrow. Penalties so far are pretty fair both ways. Fun one to watch.

Better score at half than I feared.

Right and two wasted ones.

Assuming the Jets don't mount the comeback to end all comebacks, I wonder how many Bengals fans in Jungle Noise will pick the Jets to beat the Bengals?

If that Hubbard guy could ony get a sac....

We are in it. What's not to like ? Defense has played well again. Hoping to get a HUGE win today.

That one play that results in points and everyone else being banned.

Looks like the Giants are going to beat the Panthers and go to the World Series.

It's a trap game for the Jets.
