Open Thread II: Ravens @ Bengals

Bengals: 6 called runs, 19 called passes (16 attempts, one sack, two scrambles)
Ravens: 20 called rushes, 23 called passes (19 attempts, two sacks, two scrambles)

Seven tackles, 1.5 sacks.

Six tackles, one forced fumble.

I hope the Bengals changed th shitty diaper that was their offensive play calling.

Lee Johnson holds the record for most punts in a game with 11. Kyle Larson tied that record against the Eagles. He had six in the first half.

Crocker hit McClain low, forcing the fumble out. Refs called him down — though one motioned that the Bengals had the ball.

Crocker has 5 tackles, 0.5 sacks and several pressures.

Flacco had a three step drop, and our CBs stuffed the slant route. Flacco couldn’t make the pass and Flacco just throws a skipping pass. Well done.

but not one run by our crappy offense.

We need to work on a first down during the part of the game where we actually have a functioning offense during the two-minute offense to close out the first half.

Set up third and long, where Fitz will either get sacked, have the ball batted at the LOS or has his arm hit while throwing.

That’s my prediction.

Picked up six yards.

Pryce pressured, and in the face of, Fitzpatrick. That was definitely Livings (lack of) block.

Whoo-Hoo.

Sixth three-and-out.
Seventh punt.

Fitzpatrick has 12 incomplete passes out of 18 total attempts.
Benson has 13 yards rushing on six attempts.

The screen pass, at least, gave the Bengals a third player that recorded a reception.

like force a fumble or make a sack.

Deep pass to Heap. At least Crocker could keep up.

how dare he play against Ohio!

Smith takes the snap and runs to the left, with a pitch-man outside. Picks up seven yards.

Does not do it. Frustrating as all hell.

Bengals don’t even notice.

Hands off this time to McClain. Picks up two.

but I guess he is a rookie too.

Touchdown. Hall on “coverage”.

the Ravens run a play like that EVERY GAME AGAINST THE BENGALS!

I won’t be offended if you change Leon Hall’s diaper. How I would find offense, is another topic.

Awful.

Is empty. Lots of open seats.

Benson dropped by Suggs, four yards in the backfield.

Everybody in the NFL knew the Bengals would run on that play. GODDAMN – why don’t the Bengals “red-cell” their offense and spot tendencies.

How far he has fallen.

Seventh three-and-out.
Eighth punt.

Somebody on teh defense has to YELL at the offense. At least show some emotion.

Clayton pushes off Leon Hall, Clayton scores a touchdown on a 70-yard touchdown.

when you are getting abused by a bust like Mark Clayton, you know you really suck.

As much as Hall is having his worst performance of his career, that was a great catch, good throw and all that jazz.

Two competitive teams, will be great to see one.

Two words. That’s it.

They are picking on him, rather than Jamar Fletcher. Ugly. David Jones, where have you gone?

Chest bumping after a return past the 50 yard line. A bit late for chest bumping, but hey.

CBS camera didn’t believe it.

RB screen to the right, blown up when it was caught. Andrews called for holding. Declined, because it was a five-yard loss.

But for pete’s sake, how else should we feel?

Double clutch, pass floats out accidentally.

Eighth three-and-out.
Ninth punt.

the Ravens are joking and smiling on the sideline with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. The Ravens – a team that won’t even make the playoffs. This is more embarrassing than the Houston game.

Larson kicks three more punts, that’s a new record. He’s averaging 44.2 yards per punt, which isn’t too bad.

and the Bengals can’t tackle Ray “too small for the NFL” Rice before he gets the first down.

Best football in town.

Elder lost the Ohio title Saturday night. They lost 28-20 to St. Ignatius.

Already has the headline “Ravens clocked Bengals.”

I can’t even watch this stuff.

Might get a few touchdowns, but remember, Palmer was dreadful against the Ravens in week one.

Pathetic. Why did we keep Fanene again? he can’t even tackle that midget the Ravens play at RB.

I’m putting chicken on the grill for my weekly chicken, bacon and cheese sandwich. Gives me something to do before the late games.

I’m done. I hate this team.

that was an ugly one, hope you guys can rebound from it and finish strong.

dude – take a quaalude. we took you out to the woodshed. beat your butt and went home after the 3rd quarter. but you still can’t admit that we have a good team. only that “this is a team that won’t make the playoffs.” maybe not, but the only teams that beat our ass so far was the giants and the dolts and we never play the dolts well. piggsburg needed overtime in their house to beat flacco in the first few games of his career. i like the way we are looking. at least admit it. we are much better than advertised this year and the Bengals are much worse. time to blow it up and start all over again.
