***Baltimore at Cincinnati*** (-7) O/U 41.5 (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

So let me get this straight...3rd string QB for the Ravens?

Ravens still have a lousy defense? 

41.5 Total pts today? 

Go!

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I think the Bengals could cover the over by themselves. 44-16, Cincy.

 

[Rubi]

Don't overthink this one.....

Bengals- 38

Ravens- 13

 

[The_Man]

Crazy to say, but the O Line should be decent with Mekari's return and Cleveland in for the mess of Powers/Phillips at LG. But no Ricard hurts, and obviously they're playing a dude off the street at QB

D is so so thin with Covid/injury. I think the Ravens will play a very conservative game on both sides of the ball and keep it close through a half before their lack of depth/talent catches up with them and Bengals pull away for a 27-13 win.

 

[That one guy]

I just need unnamed Ravens QB to know that his best option is MANdrews all day today…no one else, just MANdrews

 

[Desert_Power]

How does that one happen?

 

[The_Man]

Wow 2 big plays by Queen who used to be terrible in coverage 

This is a lost season for Baltimore but his emergence as a legit ILB has been a bright spot

Yeah, great coverage on that wheel route.

 

[The_Man]

Going no huddle with QB3, I love the attitude, playing w nothing to lose

They should have done more of this earlier in the season.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Of course I benched Bateman, thanks for asking.

 

[The_Man]

Just like with the Colts game winning TD last night, I hate 3-man pass rush in the end zone. QB has had a day of practice, I’d pressure him, not make him comfortable reading the D from a clean pocket. 

Congrats to Bateman on first career TD, many more to come 

 

[The_Man]

Haha Queen saying go ahead and fight for that extra yard 

 

[The_Man]

Averett down, joining Humphrey, Peters and Smith. Going with CB 5 and 6 now. 
 

Looked like a shot in the ribs maybe he’ll be ok

same 

for Braxton Berrios lol

admittedly, have not seen many Baltimore games this year, but Bateman's usage makes no sense to me.  When he gets targets, he has produced quite well.  Yet, he has games like last week where Brown and Andrews get 14 & 13 targets respectfully, yet Bateman only has 2.   How do they not keep him involved more???

You are not alone in asking that question. Many Ravens' fans have been screaming it for over a month.

3rd different starting QB in 3 weeks, there’s no rhyme or reason to what happens 

 

[The_Man]

Bengals do the Ravens a favor every time they don’t come out in 3 WR and make their garbage players cover 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Can Harbaugh play DB?

 

[chad in Indy]

Being able to produce regardless of who is the QB only amplifies the fact that Bateman should be getting more targets.  At least that is what I would think.  

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Yikes. Beautiful play by Cincy for the Boyd TD

 

[The_Man]

Queen on Boyd isn’t a great matchup for Baltimore. Why are they playing single high safety when they’re playing their 8th string CB?

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I think that 24 points is a bar too high for Baltimore to climb even if the Bengals didn't score again (they will).

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Bell you gotta make that interception

 

[The_Man]

Ravens need to stop them for once, then score again with the opening drive of the 3rd quarter, to make this a game 

 

[Desert_Power]

You just can't convince me there is a better play-by-play guy than Harlan out there.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Bengals have scored on every drive.

Burrow 449/4

Higgins 11/174/2

Chase 7/125

Boyd 3/85/1

Mixon 16/61/1 and 5 receptions for 18

Fun offense

 

[East Coast Bias]

Bengals still passing on every play up 20 with under 8 minutes left.

This game just further proves this. 4-5, 26 yds and a TD in the first quarter. And then they don't throw to him a single target the rest of the game????

Still throwing under 2 left. Burrow now over 500 yards.

 

[The_Man]

I think the Bengals could cover the over by themselves. 44-16, Cincy.

Great call by you!
