The one and only time I clicked on that "streaming link" it said my IP Address was being exposed.

What's up with that?

Some kind of scam I suppose.

I just ignored it and closed the whole thing.

Thanks for organizing these!  I never get on gameday thread, but I am glad I clicked on these!

When the team is decent, Sunday mornings go soooo slow. Anticipation is killing me!

Ain’t that the truth. This week moved at a glacial pace.

That said. Getting a whooping today will crush me.

I’d be ok w a loss as long as we show up and put up a fight.

However; ZT game prep makes me guarded to expect good things.

Know exactly what you mean. I feel as Bengals fans we are parched for validation and this game has a chance to quench that thirst. Just heard if we win we will be #1 in the AFC… it seems too good to be possible lol so I’m lowering my expectations… or trying to anyway…

It's a local game for me today, so for once I will be one of the folks in the thread on a little delay.

[masonbengals fan]

Ready to get started.

Why would you have a delay? Thought that only happened while streaming?

I have DirecTV.  So the Sunday Ticket feed is fast, as the broadcast is (I believe) from the stadium, to the network satellite, to the DTV satellite, to my dish.  If it is on locally, it is leaving the network satellite, then going to the local network affiliate instead of DTV.  Then DTV is picking up that local broadcast and getting it to their satellite, then from the DTV satellite to my dish.  Technically I can pull out the ol' rabbit ears I keep for emergencies and get the broadcast OTA and have it quicker, but why go through the work when I can just deal with a delay of a few seconds?

My concern against te Ravens in 2020 was we got dominated on both sides of the ball on the line of scrimmage. Today is a test to see how we stack up now talent wise against a very physical team.

As always, we have to avoid mistakes (turnovers and critical penalties) if we have any hope of hanging with them at Baltimore in my humble opinion.

The Ravens hit their stride last week and dominated a very good Chargers team with a very good young QB, made him have the worst day of his short NFL career. Last year in the one game, they shut down Burrow as well.

I am hopeful we all see a very good game. A game decided by one or 2 plays, but it is a tough task.

#1 OAL pick in his 5th game of NFL action without a preseason on a bad team.  This squad is much improved over that one.

Measuring stick game, let's hope we measure up.

This would be a very good game for them to play well all 4 quarters for the first time all season

Just heard on NFL network that the Ravens best CB Humphrey is going to shadow Chase all day.

Should be a real test for him.

[*pally*]

Dehner is reporting Trey Hill is starting at center over Trey Hopkins

[LebanonFan]

Kind of having a feeling the Ravens defensive game plan is going to revolve around disguised coverages more than disguised blitzes, given the amount of success Burrow has had against the blitz, his trust that Chase will make a play even when he’s not open at the point of release. Wonder if they sit back a bit more and try to bait him into throws into disguised safety or double coverages

[LebanonFan]

Uhhhh maybe I take it back about blitz packages now that we have a rookie center starting Talk about trial by fire!
