Out of curiosity...
Why would you create an account purely to troll here? I am not saying that this particluar post is a case of Trolling, but having read your comments, you are obviously a Ravens fan, but this is the only portion of SB nation of which you are a member, which made me curious.
Let's be Realistic here!
Dude is clearly uninformed. I believe he thinks this might be a site to pick up guys with similar interests, kinda like football.
Ugh
I would say 28-10 if our pass rush resembles anything like the pass rush in the patriots game. I would say 17-14 if we are able to play solid defense and establish the run.

24-17 Bengals
Bengals leading 17-7 going into the 4th quarter and the Ravens try and make it interesting, but a good no-huddle drive by Palmer dashes any comeback hopes.
Wait a minute,
I think I’ve seen that before…

Nice Write Up.
Really like the analysis Josh! One thing I would like to know is how many yards R. Rice has on the Bengals with the screen pass. If we can’t stop the screen, which we hardly ever can, it would be essential in stopping the Ravens’ O. Baltimore is only favored by 1.5 pts as of right now. Sad thing since the Pats had a similar spread. Bengals 31-27.
Last weeks spread
The Jets were favored and if the Ravens hadn’t screwed up so bad the score would have actually resembled the outcome of the game. The Ravens may have some players back from injuries for this game. The Ravens should run the ball this week, if they are successful they should dominate. The Ravens showed Monday night no matter how good your DBs are, they can be beaten.
This thread is posted on Ravens site
I guess they were looking for people who weren’t going to post fairy tales.
You realize the only time you guys were able to complete a pass was when revis wasnt covering them.
Flacco didnt look good. His receivers made him look better then he actually was. You were also aided by PASS INT calls which helped your offense stay on the field. The PASS INT call on wilson against Housh was really the only reason you scored a TD. Other then that you guys lose 9-3 in one of the worst games I have ever seen played on national television. The only thing that was even remotely entertaining was seeing how bad the Jets offense is and that monster hit Ray put on Dustin Keller. I think I fell asleep a couple of times watching that snooze-fest.
Also this is something you might want to take notice of
Ravens 2009 victories
Chiefs, Chargers, Browns, Broncos, Browns, Steelers, Lions, Bears, Raiders
You beat 1 Playoff team other then NE in the playoffs
Bengals 2009 Victories
Packers, Steelers, Browns, Ravens, Bears, Ravens, Steelers, Browns, Lions, Chiefs
We beat 1 Playoff team and swept you. This was with a nonexistent passing game. If you count each game we played you separately we had 3 victories over playoff teams and you had 2.
The fact that you think your team is going to dominate is quite funny. I’m not saying we are definitely going to beat you but I don’t understand how you think your going to dominate us? I believe the last time you did actually dominate us was when Carson Palmer was out for the year.
I'd rather win a snoozefest
Then lose a blowout. I guess you also didn’t think New England was going to dominate you either. Hell, I didn’t think the Pats would crush you either. I even picked the Bengals in my pick-em league cause you said you were so good. It’s nice that you want to keep living in the past because victories will just pass you by. When we beat playoff teams IT IS IN THE PLAYOFFS! Maybe if you guys would learn that you might be a respected team.
So you beat NE in the Playoffs got it?
Did you win the Super Bowl? Who gives a shit how many playoff wins you have unless you win the damn super bowl. Just ask Marty Schottenheimer about that. Its funny that you keep saying we are living in the past but you and your turd buddy continue to bring about bengals from the 90’s and early 2000’s. Im sorry but your team is overrated shit. The only reason you are even considered Super Bowl contenders is b/c of that 1 playoff win that didn’t even result in anything.
Jesus, is that a vein about to bust in your neck!
And yes, we did win a super bowl. And two playoff games before last year. And if we didn’t have to play both the Steelers and the refs in the AFC game we would have been in the super bowl then. You’re lucky the NFL doesn’t like Ray Lewis or the refs may have actually thrown a face mask flag on your receiver in the second game last year negating your win. Now I’d go see a doctor before you have a stroke.
Typical
it’s always because of the refs when the Ravens lose.

It's funny that you say we live in the past.
You’re the one saying that the Bengals don’t have a shot because they haven’t won a playoff game and haven’t had back-to-backl winning seasons in a while.
Pot, meet kettle.

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it looks like work." -Thomas Edison
I never said
they didn’t have back to back winning seasons. That’s awful, no wonder you guys are always so mean. They don’t let you guys play with loaded guns or knives do they. I’ll ask the Ravens to go a little easy on your team this weekend. Winning a playoff game would be a start.
You realize the only time you guys were able to complete a pass was when revis wasnt covering them.
I know they completed at least one pass on him and got a pass inference call. Why play in the lions cage when there is a pen of puppy dogs to play with.
Does anyone know who the Shadow idiot is?
I can’t tell if it is someone mentally retarded or it’s really a man that f-ing stupid.
Why such hostility
We are all her to just talk about football. You ask what pass was completed on Revis, do you expect me to re-watch the whole game just for you. The game was boring enough the first time. Don’t you think anyone can catch a pass on Revis. This is Mason’s 14th season, I think he can get open at least once a game.
