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…

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.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

#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.
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
