As one commentator said, "If that were Mahomes, the Raven's defender would have been led off in handcuffs."  

I saw Roquan ***TWICE*** last night go to the sideline and hit a guy late, but they weren't super hard hits or anything, more of a bully/*****, "hit 'em when he's down/out," type of hit.

That guy needs to be neutralized and hopefully he gets the Burfict treatment at some point, because he's not an upfront prick on the field like Burfict was, but he definitely is just as dirty.

What’s the over under for rushing yards allowed by the Bengals vs Ravens? My guess is 300

Where the hell is Battle? He can’t be worse than Stone.

I’d have to take the over.

I know PFF likes him this year for some reason (or at least did before Week 4? not sure), but at least according to my eye test Pratt has been bad this year in what was supposed to be his specialty of run defense.

I really think both he and the defense were better when he was a 2-down guy. Last two years he's been used as an every down guy and I don't think it's paid off. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that it's his conversion to a 3-down guy rather than it being he peaked for his contract year and then got paid.

I do think the Ravens will score on every possession or all but 1. Gotta hope our offense can keep up.

I see a dominating game too. I'm spending this week prepping my bootycheeks for a ramming.

I will say this, Bengals games usually don't go the way we expect them to, for good OR bad. Usually, we expect to blow out an opponent and the game ends up close. But, while not nearly as often, there's times were expectations were negative and the opposite happened. I can't think of anything specifics, but I know there were was a game last year where a team was going to run all over us and we ended up playing good run D. So while I doubt it happens, maybe, just maybe we'll actually play decent defense against the Ravens and surprise EVERYONE including us Bengals fans.

We go 1-4 and if Steelers go 4-1, I would see what KC would give us for Higgins.

They are going to have to sell out big time to stop the Ravens running game. Like, big time. Single high safety like 75% of the game. 

Make Lamar beat you with the pass. Unfortanelty, he's looked pretty good there as well this year especailly with their tight ends.

This is a matchup nightmare for us. Not confident at all.

We might never beat KC ever again if we gave them Tee.

KC, Bills, any AFC-N team would be off my sheet lol.

Tamaurice is our most physical player on both sides of the bawl. We need him to win.

I like KC philosophy they traded Hill to Miami though they made Miami better, we won't be getting better holding on to him in a likely non playoff season so I would be open to it if we got the value KC got for Hill.. I doubt they would trade to KC though, maybe another team will offer something 

This has to be a low scoring game in order for us to win.. keep running and running the ball over and over again.. kill the clock.

contain and win game plan.

Best we can hope for is a shoot out … but if their D shows and JB is not on fire ….

I smell blowout

Yeah our record against Lamar isn't great. 

Joey B is 3-4 against the Ravens though. Some of those without Lamar of course. But we've played them close in recent history, so I expect us not to get blown out at least.

Stack the box and keep Lamar in the pocket. I am not scared like you fellas. Bills were bound to show they weren't for real against a
tough team like the Ravens. We are coming into our own on Offense, just need our Defense to be somewhat healthy. Stinger for Trey
so I would hope he will be ready to go. Hubbard is looking much better to spy on Lamar.

Logan is looking good, CTB is my only concern right now, he doesn't look right and shouldn't ever talk shit again before a game. Geno
Stone needs to take better angles and get his first int with the Bengals against his old team.

Expecting a 31-28 type game and hope we pull it out.

We had a 10-7 lead when Burrow got hurt last year. It should be a close game if we play disciplined.

The Ravens are the worst matchup for us in the NFL. Joe Burrow and the offense can keep us in the game, but the defense needs to nut up and start hitting people for us to have a shot at the division.

Im guessing that Charlie Jones will be inactive this game since the Ravens wont be punting......?
