***Week 5 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Ravens***

Got a stop! It’s progress...

Why is Erickson still on this team

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

The D is playing decent. The O is atrocious.

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Atkins didn't make a play there, but they were doubling him. That is one less blocker who can stop a play.

[*michaelsean*]

I don’t know how Lamar doesn’t throw more INTs. He just wings it out there sometimes.

[Yojimbo]

Phillips has been our best pass rusher today.

ZT needs to stop calling deep routes and let burrow hit some quick slants to slow these blitzes down.

Diversity?

[Tony]

I'm suprise the ravens dont go on every 4th down. That's how much they disrespect us..

[impactplaya]

Erickson offers nothing.of value yet he has a fan club.here

The coaches obviously don't. Otherwise, maybe they'd be calling some short crossers or getting backs involved in outlets. 

But, they're smarter than the average fan so who knows?

Because he is a solid backup slot receiver and a sure handed PR.

If he throws 4 picks and learns, then I'm fine with it. If he gets hospitalized and has PTSD from it, then I'm not.

We've missed three so far today. 

[*bfine32*]

Well if you'd told me we'd hold the Ravens to 17 in the first half while our O turned it over twice; I'd take it.

Time to get creative on offense

[WiregrassBenGal]

Points, please.

And it's not the first time it's failed horribly this year.

He’s not playing well and it bugs him. He’s seeing new shit. Let’s not try to read into every facial expression the kid makes.

The D would probably look even better if the T.O.P. was slanted against them and the field position hadn't been so far against them.

Trusts his guys to block the INT if they can't make the catch. Andrews turned what should have been a sure-fire INT into an incompletion.
