I am getting concerned because many posters are thinking the game against the Ravens Sunday night is a shoe in. Yes, I hope we move on to play the Bills. But, we need to focus on this game first. It seems the underdog has nothing to lose and the Ravens will be playing that way. I hope the Bengals get up for this game and play well. Otherwise, it would be an embarrassment to our team.

I don’t know why that would concern you. I certainly don’t think beating the Ravens is a given by any means, but it really wouldn’t matter if I declared it a slam dunk lock.

Yeah I’m sure ZT and Joe will run to the media and blame the bengals board if they go out there and play like garbage. Ravens are trash w/o Lamar. It’s pretty much a bye week if we can stay healthy. Looking forward to the Bills!

I never understand these comments? Fans on a message board or Twitter have as much of a chance to impact a current game by discussing the next one about as much as everyone one of us winning the lottery on the same day with different numbers.

I keep hearing about how we played them twice already. I put that argument in the same as weather. It is the same for both teams. No advantage for either.

It really does not matter what the fans think or say. It matters what the players and coaches know or think.

We can focus on anybody because I’m pretty sure the team had focused on the Ravens.

Its going to a tough game. Anyone underestimating the Ravens are in for a surprise. *Disclaimer: Happy to eat my words.

I too worry about this being a trap game.
I haven't re-watched the last one. And only saw it from the stands. It looked like an off game. And I thought Burrow was leading the way showing an urgency to win, at least on O, while others didn't seem as interested, and I understand why for multiple reasons.
But our guys just gone done playing them and know what we are up against. So I don't think they will look past this game. They felt the disrespect the Ravens came in to our house with last week.

I've already moved my focus to Chiefs-Bengals so I'm hoping this doesn't come back to hurt the team

I don;t know, I think we're screwed. "Moving the Chains" spent 30 minutes discussing how the Bills/Chief's game will be in Atlanta, and why Atlanta was chosen. They aren't focusing on the Bengals/Ravens game.... we're in trouble.

There is no way in hell the team is going to fall into a trap by looking ahead. They are dealing with a division rival who went out of their way to play dirty last weekend. Joe admitted that he played poorly last weekend. And we know that doesn’t happen 2 games ina row.
I expect this team to come out very focused on the job at hand

What the fans think doesn't matter in the least.
