42-21 Ravens

[Whacked]

If Tee and BJ Hill play
28-24 Bad Guys

If they don’t
37-17 Bad guys

Flowers goes for 125 yards.

Dude is dangerous and keeps creeping up on the total yards list. #3 in the AFC @ 654 (Chase is #1 at 717)

Short week + a Ravens team that is very good at home for primetime games:

Yeah, it's gonna be tough (as we all know).

Thankfully, the Bengals know they can go toe to toe with them as they did a few weeks back.
But, the offense MUST sustain and score, sustain and score, sustain and score to have the chance.

Can't count on the defense doing much of anything to stop the Ravens offense. Maybe they will and give us a good surprise. But not counting on it. Offense must be on point drive after drive. That's for sure

If the Ravens are smart, they give it to Henry 25 times

But if not …. they still have Flowers, Andrews and Bateman

Or …. Jackson can just run for 50-75

I hate playing them w this D.

Desperately need BJ at a minimum.

31 to 17, Ravens win.

I'll continue to share my opinion the Bengals finish around .500 and draft 18th.

Well, after the last Ravens game I predicted a 4 game winning streak. I was wrong. I have a bad feeling about this one. I hope I'm wrong again.

I would say your feelings are on point. Our play calling is putrid and we know Zac is going to try the dink and dunk shit against these guys to try and control the game. I honestly think Burrow is about fed up with his shit. If I were Burrow, I would audible out of every damn play sent in and just let Zac take credit for the win.

I like your thinking.

Also, NO MORE WRs SCREENS! PLEASE!

It's extremely frustrating as a fan but we start off slow but keep improving as the season wears on in Zac era. I know it was against the Raiders but the team I saw on Sunday looks close to a championship caliber team again. I loved Zac admitting he screwed up a few times the previous week. He took accountability for his failures something Marvin was incapable of. I just want to know why Burton is staying in the dog house to beat slay 1 on 1 previous week then deactivated. Bengals win 28 - 20

The other 31 teams set up blocking for wide receiver screens. Not the Bengals.

The key to beathing the Ravens is the same as beating the Chiefs. Keep their offense off the field.

When did Zac take accountability for screwing up? I must have missed it. Not that it matters. His ego is too big to correct the mistakes, only to admit he made them.

[R3stangs]

I can be hopeful but under no illusions as to this teams capability. Should be a pretty easy win for the Ravens unfortunately. This defense just isn't up to it still.

Zac takes accountability for losses all the time. You missed a lot.

If the Bengals are smart they'll give it to Chase Brown 25 times.  I think it's the only chance they have, got to keep that offense off the field.  Ravens are tough to run on though and Zac is so pass happy.

[Frank Booth]

Im not fooled just because they beat an awful raiders team. If Tee is out again, they have no chance. Sorry

[CJD]

If we don't win this game, you may need to pack the season up. They'd basically have to win out to have a good shot at the playoffs and could only lose 1 or MAYBE 2 more games (if the AFC continues to be incredibly mediocre) for the rest of the season. With 2 games against Pittsburgh and fairly tough games against the Chargers and Cowboys (assuming their health isn't wrecked at this point), that'd be an incredibly tight rope to walk.

The Ravens have an incredibly bad defense, but our defense actually seems to be getting...okay. At least better than they were in the previous Ravens game.

For that reason, I think our guys get it together and squeak out a win.

Bengals 34
Ravens 31
