Some positives for thursday

[Bengalfan4life27c]

1 Andy should respond and play better. He rarely plays crappy back to back games.
2 Return of Adam Jones should make our secondary a little better
3 The defense played good they are facing an absolute train wreck in houston
4 Ogbuehi might handle power rushers better than speed rushers
5 Texans are really banged up 3 tightends in concussion protocol
6 Ross may return and give Andy another weapon in passing game

After all the sacks the Texans allowed on Sunday , Geno better have a monster day.
Andy won't be as atrocious as he was against Baltimore ... heck, no QB could be that bad again if they tried .

Here's a positive; it'll be over by halftime so we can all get plenty of rest for Friday.

JaMarcus Russell: "F you both, hold my purple drank!"

Johnny Manziel: "Look at all this beer, purple drank, and pills I've got...PAR-TAY!!!!!"

If I'm perfectly honest, I'm actually really nervous about Jones coming back haha.

I thought Dennard and Jackson played spectacularly on Sunday (other than 1 single play where Dennard was picked by his own teammate). I would hate to see one of them relegated to dimeback duties for Jones, who was sporadic in his own right last year.

Here's hoping they field the best players, regardless of veteran status.

Aw, who am I kidding? Jones is going to play 95% of the snaps even if he's giving up touchdowns XD.

Good thread, i need some positivity...

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

One of your positives is that Ogbuehi might do better against Watt, Clowney, and Mercilus? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Not likely

I've heard some of the talking heads talking about how good the Ravens D is, they're back, top 5 D etc. etc.

I just can't help but thinking how terrible our O is, O-line specifically, played a rather large part in that !

And I strongly feel tomorrow night is just gonna be 2.0

[Gohards]

alright, seriously lets look at the positives

Andy Dalton has a higher completion % than Brady
The Texans did not look good Sunday, it is a possibility that they are a worse team than us
The o-line could not play ANY worse.
We have a short week to redeem ourselves.

But... even if we do beat the Texans, we are not going to be completely sold on this team. Houston looked completely horrible Sunday.

Positive for Thursday? The day after is Friday!

[THE PISTONS]

I saw some sites predict a 61% chance we win...so we have that going.

[*Go Cards*]

Need some positive thinking because I am scared to death and considering taking plastic to game as if i was attending a show by the fruit smashing comedian Gallgher.

Just in case QB's start exploding.

[masonbengals fan]

I'd be shocked if Andy plays as bad as he did Sunday. The being said the o-line has to a lot to do with it. I fully expect the D to be fired up.

Our secondary looked really good Sunday. Joe Flacco is no Joe Montana and the Ravens werent throwing a ton, but they looked good none the less.

You had me until #4...

All kidding aside, I am hoping for a miracle.  I doubt I will get one, but I am hoping for a complete change in the offense.  Defense was very solid.  Offense was absolutely disgusting.  Zampese shouldn't have even had time to clean out his locker.  They should have sent Piano Man and Zampese packing at halftime and said to Simmons:  "Can you do in the second half what those turds couldn't do in the first half with an entire offseason to prepare?

We haven't had a great track record against rookie QBs unless their name was Johnny Football.....

Denvers torched us last year, Dak torched us, The 2nd and 3rd team Houston QBs from years past did the same..........
