And the defense has a realistic ability to score as well.  So passing on taking points to go for it with both a 3rd string QB and RB could come back to haunt them as well.

Lol

Nothing to laugh about. That looks to be Harbaugh’s strategy.

Chase's half ass griddy was concernign. Rest him too.

You mean 4 to 1 pass ratio isn't the answer? 

Get the ball back; a fumble, a pick, or a three and out would be nice.

I'd imagine we don't want to put too much on tape since we are most likely playing them again next week.

That last reception brought Chase’s receiving yards down from 1,001 to 999 for the year.

I was referring to punting with 20 seconds left on the play clock!

Hits on both Boyd and Chase were PFs.

Really have to question the NFL adding the 17th game. These guys are all starting at QB in the early games today:

Joe Flacco
Skyler Thompson
Davis Mills
Sam Ehlinger
Nathan Peterman
Anthony Brown

Impressive.

DPI and late hit.

Pratt off on 3rd down?

Hmmm

Not against the Ravens. They’re too good against the pass.

Not laughing at the  possibility,  laughing at the scumbaggery of it all.

Blatant money grab.

The Bengals were up 22-0 in their last game played at the half and then nearly lost. This game isn't over, you can't just coast with backups already.

To anyone complaining about the playcalling, its very obvious we arent calling our best plays. We have to play these guys again bro

Didn’t even land on him.

Maybe. There's arguments for both. I just think you may need to gamble for those extra 4 points when you need at least 17, and haven't recently been scoring 17. Obviously Harbaugh thought similar, but fortunately it didn't work.
