We haven't seen that "going in for the kill" attitude too much in the past with the Bengals. Heck, we've let some pretty bad Browns teams beat up on us in recent years. But that attitude would be a welcome change and would make me feel good about their chances of winning a playoff game this year.

The Ravens start 0-2 after making the playoffs and actually winning in them, and now they're somehow transforming into one of the worst decades of any franchise in sports history.

Brilliant!

Ravens had the lead at the end but left Raiders with a 2 minute drill, and Raiders hit some big plays. ....If you watch this, you will see the Ravens can throw the ball. They have Smith a WR and another good WR and they have one heck of a TE and they have the veteran QB with a Super Bowl ring. .......The Bengals may have to score 40 points to win this game.

I'm hoping our Bengals win and go to 3-0, but those comparing 2015 Raven to the 1990's Bengals are way out there on Mars or someplace. This will be a tough game and our DB's will get tested all game long. I would say Kirkpatrick needs to step up his game 100 % or he will be burned all game. The Ravens can throw the ball and are at home in Baltimore where they are always tough. It's not just Flacco to Smith, but the TE and the other WR's, plus they can run the ball some. ....This game could go down to the last 2 minutes and who wins a 2 minute drill. They have a good head coach, they have a heck of a middle linebacker. ....I'm hoping we can run the ball a little and eat some clock and keep their D on the field instead of our D on the field all game. ....Oh yes, they have a great field goal kicker....They still have Super Bowl ring players including the quarterback...

I would never ever call at Baltimore a game we can just consider a win. Baltimore and Pittsburg have been the cream of the crop in the AFC North of playoff wins an Super Bowl wins....This will be one tough game.
