The Bengals take their 0-5 record on the road to take on the Ravens. In the past the Bengals usually play the Ravens very well. I'm not so sure with this years bunch. What does everyone else think?

In true Cincinnati fashion they are due to have a win no one saw coming and does nothing but cost them 2-3 draft spots in the draft.

Just under 5 minutes until kickoff. Go Bengals get win #1!

Wowzer!

And there you go.

The question is why did Tucker not kick that into the end zone?

Ohio State fans know the answer to this one real well.

Well that didn’t take long to tie this one up.

That party is over.

It is because the Ravens don't do that. Going into this game I believe they had the best kickoff coverage in the NFL and have pinned more people down within the 15 yard line on kickoffs than anyone. Which is because they do the high sky kick, to allow their kickoff team to pin them back. Rather than give them the ball on the 25. Luckily it backfired this time.

With as bad as the Bengals linebackers are and with how bad they are against mis direction. This is just a horrible matchup, the Ravens probably could run for 400 yards today if they want to.

 

It's ok though because we have Andy Dalton and drafted Billy Price from some Univesity in Ohio to protect him. It has worked out well so far lol.

This D-coordinator is completely overmatched, much like every week. Personnel is just flat terrible, slow and cannot tackle.

Just not making tackles the few times they have been in position to make a play. The Bengals defense so far looks about like the defense they play at the pro bowl. lol

I don't think we really can blame the defensive coordinator. He is working with the same defense that last year was one of the worst in NFL history. It is literally the same guys. He actually has had them better than almost anytime last year. However today's matchup is probably the worst matchup for this team for all the reasons I said. The Ravens most likely will run for 400 yards if they want.

That last Raven scoring drive due to penalties they picked up first downs very easy on a 1st and 19 and a 1st and 15. That’s just terrible defense to allow that to happen on the same drive. Then the Bengals get a first and 5 due to a Raven penalty and can not pick up a first down.
