Defense was magnificant but we played a poor O line. Great start but it won't be as easy for the D line in the coming weeks. O line held up pretty well too.

OUR DEFENSE IS SO FREAKING GOOD

This game! Let's see if they improve even more next week vs the Browns who are giving the Steelers hell!

Yeah that's what makes it so frustrating but then after lisening to Flacco saying ti wasn't worth taking a chance to make a mistake tells me thais is the way we defend leads moving forward.

I mean did the Bengals show anything ever during that game that made you think they could score multiple TDs unless the offemse screwed up?

1-0. It was a great win considering all of the adversity the team has faced.

What a freakin shame Woodhead went down. Anyone heard a prognosis?

Listen, I'm definitely proud of how our defense stood up today! And, I am glad that the offense was able to at least put up 2 TD's but I really disliked that run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run b.s. that they pulled in that game. With Wallace, Maclin and Perriman, I wanted to see the offense open up and be more aggressive.

Perhaps it was done to protect Flacco being that it was his first game back and they wanted to lessen the amount of contact he'd receive? I get it! I'm just wondering, why they may have felt a need to do that since he didn't practice or play in preseason? He should be fine. Right? Unless, there is something more going on with his back than being reported? Just curious...

You are overthinking it. Running the ball drains the clock. From halftime on the Bengals needed 3 scores. Nothing they did on offense suggested they could get 3 scores so they Ravens ran the ball to drain the clock.
