Ravens basically ran 12 minutes straight off the clock on their last drive.

We need to do the same if we can.  I don't think getting into a shootout is the answer.

 

Keep Burrow on the bench and limit their possessions.

Burrow goes down with a judo chop to the shoulder. What a wimp. 

He is a softie

Exactly and he’s still finding guy down field. 

He just went down from a wind gust.

whomever wins is going to be tired and beat up from this old school slugfest

We played a 4 hour game that went down to the final series.  I’d bet our guys ate tired too.

For your Bills discussion needs, please utilize every other thread on the board but this one.

Thank you

You need to automate these

It was always foolish to write off the underdogs in these divisional matchups.

... If you have 3 WRs at that calibre, a TE that is unsung, a basic offense (this is not a negative) then you can make an offense work. This offense is tailored to him. He makes it work for him 

He sure as ***** does. It’s like he knows what to do with the football all the time. His sacks are smart too. He doesn’t lose the ball, he plays another play. The comparison is these big three, and it’s fair to like some thing more from some guys than others. I like a lot of what Burrow has upstairs. Not his fault he made Chase so freaking good in College that the Bengals had to have him.

Cinci is weak against the run!...I noticed it on our first drive before the game was stopped

The stats would say otherwise, but most teams are just not as physical as the Ravens are. Plus, when you have the Bengals explosive offense it limits the opposition's time/ability to commit to the running game

In that case maybe we want the Bengals to win.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Ought oh, another one of princess Joes OLineman is hurt.

 

Keep pounding them over and over and over.

Difference is Baltimore is running on almost every play which really wears you down.

This is the opposite of the Bills game. The Bills and Fins averaged almost 8 possessions each per half. This game is going to see 3 possessions each in the first half.

Yeah that looked like a serous injury to Jonah Williams. He has a history of knee injuries

And guess who has been getting better at it?

 

I like our chances against the Bengals to break a long run open. Their DBs aren't smart or fast.  Bell is Whitmer. The dude with the hyphen is McKelvin. The rest are meh.

 

The ravens DBs are ravens defenders. They hit hard. I respect their defense.
