Good luck today, Cats.
Ngata's out, which doesn't help the Ravens' run D. The Bengals seem to get under the ratbirds' (tm, roadkill) skin & Palmer often plays really well against them. Benson lighting them up last time worries me that Baltimore is going to sell out to stop the run, leaving Bengals WRs running free downfield.
All that said, I'm picking the Ravens 27-17. Baltimore's basically got a 9 game playoff run in front of them & this is one they have to win.

Ravens D is hurting without Ngata. That was easy.

Okay, but are they really a playoff team? They have been awfully inconsistent this season so far to just assume that they will the game they need to to get to the playoffs.

I read this twice and am still not sure what you mean. My point was that the Ravens have no margin for error, given their record and the records of their peers - so that every game going forward is a playoff game for them.

Is Baltimore playing defense with their eyes closed?
I'm sure their eyes are open. How can you commit pass interferance with your eyes closed?
derek245583
Footballguy
Was kinda a figure of speech....I am sure you right, their eyes are IN FACT open.

Broke his arm. Could see the break, it looked nasty.

I just meant that it seems like people sometimes take the use the "they need to win this game, so they will" reasoning as a reason why a team will win a game. My point was, Baltimore hasn't looked like a playoff team this year so far, so I wouldn't assume that they will win a game they apparently need to to increase their playoff chances (like today, as a loss will put them basically three back of the Bengals).

I'm very surprised seeing something like this coming from a Broncos fan...

It was one game. To make the playoffs, you generally have to play consistently good, and the Ravens have not done that this season.

Chad Johnson had a dollar in his hand during that review? At what point did he think that was a good idea. He was hovering around the refs with money.

Serious question. Ocho Cinco had a foot down and then a heel down in bounds. His toes came down out of bounds after his heel hit inbounds. So he had a foot and a heel in bounds.

Please state your serious question.

Footballguy
Just saying shouldn't it have been a catch? Lol didn't realize I didn't ask a question.
scott72
Footballguy
You didn't. You made a statement. And no that's not a catch. 2 WHOLE footies need to be in..
bleachercreacher
Footballguy
Then how is it different than a receiver dragging their toes?
ChargersOH
Footballguy
Definitely wasn't a catch by Ocho there.
Cincy's secondary is completely owning the Ravens WRs.

So if a receiver taps his toes in the back of the endzone but doesn't get his whole foot in-bounds, it's not a catch?
scott72
Footballguy
Toes count as whole footies..Heels don't..
Billy Mitchell
Footballguy
Interesting...I didn't know that
scott72
Footballguy
Yea I stated that wrong. Toes count as whole feet kinda like knees count as feet.So if a receiver taps his toes in the back of the endzone but doesn't get his whole foot in-bounds, it's not a catch?
Bonzai
Footballguy
Bribing the refs is good shtick.
derek245583
Footballguy
Actually, heels do count as whole footies...
If he had landed on his heel then picked up his foot and put his toe down OOB then that is a foot in....

I've never seen someone drag their heels, but I didn't know the ruling on this. Thanks.
derek245583
Footballguy
Ya, it would be tough to do....but it would be the exact same thing.

You can tap your heels and it counts too. It's not "toes are whole feet and heels aren't." If the heel is all that touches, and it's in, you're in. If the toe is all that touches and is in, you're in. If part of the foot comes down OOB, you're out. If he had tapped his heel in and didn't put his whole foot down, leaving his toe out it would have been good.
scott72
Footballguy
and how many times to you see that happen? If he comes down on his heel the toes are gonna come down with it and most likely OOB if it's close to the line.
Inconclusive
Footballguy
You've seen it many times on the back line of the endzone. Lands on his butt after thumping the heels down.
scott72
Footballguy
Technically yes that's correct, but as I stated in my other post, you never see someone just "tap" their heels down and manage to keep their toes in the air.
derek245583
Footballguy
Yes you do.

SAAHHHWEEEET play by Ed Reed. Ocho stiff arming Reed onto his backside and while going down, Ed removes the ball, picking it up after both players roll over, then returning it for 20 yards or so.

Bengals are blowing this game. Need a FG miss here to save their skins.
derek245583

What a joke. He is terrible.
ChargersOH
Footballguy
Not really. That strip by Reed was pretty amazing, and a somewhat dumb play by Chad. Before then their O had a nice sense of urgency.Their secondary continues to own Baltimore. Too bad their LBs aren't containing the checkdown to Rice in the second half.

These refs are terrible.
I am a Cincy homer and I think they are seriously blowing some calls.
That spot is terrible.
