The Defence, The Turnovers and The Rematch on the Way!

[rossihunter2]

Before the game, with the Ravens resting starters, many of us wanted to see the young guys show us something.

And by and large they did.

First outing of the Nigerian Nightmare was exciting. Ojabo with a sack fumble and at least 1 other pressure, Oweh with a sack and at least 1 other pressure, Madubuike with at least 1 dominant pressure.

Charlie Kolar first sightings. Nothing special but nice to see him do something.

Isaiah Likely looking like preseason Isaiah Likely. This guy is a weapon if he can do what he does with backups with Lamar. Had his first 100 yard game today.

Anthony Brown grew into the game. Threw an awful pick early but got better. Was unlucky to be picked a 2nd time because of DRob (who had one of the worst games I've maybe ever seen from a WR in a season full of awful WR games). Took a poor sack fumble for a TD right on the goal-line. But a bunch of positives in how he performed given the expectations.

The defence was awesome. Marcus Williams came out tackling like he was disinterested in the first quarter but made up for it later. Daryl Worley got picked on but even with that clear weakness on defence, the Bengals scored 6 points not off turnovers and short-field.

I very much look forward to a rematch.

DRob is lucky we've got no other options...

that's the type of game that normally might get you cut

the drops were bad, the attitude was worse

They played better than I expected, but somehow worse at the same time

Besides a few mistakes I'm impressed with AB

So the rematch is locked in regardless of the Charger game?

It is weird to me how Likely looks great when Andrews does not play but the moment they both are in the game at the same time Likely thinks he has to have stone hands to help make Andrews look good.

THE BENGALS ARE A BUNCH OF FUCKING PUNKS .THAT WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS GAME

 

[allblackraven]

Defense gives me hope but if Lamar isn't playing, we're one and out

Yep.

They played better in the 2nd half, especially Brown. Just a sad shame the WR corp is so bad.

 

[cobrajet]

with Lamar, Dobbins, Peters, and Andrews…I like our chances.

always play well enough to get you interested so that you can then be disappointed lol

for sure
that's not impacted by the outcome of this game though

AB actually played better than Huntley. I do hope that if Lamar can't play next week, AB does. After the picks, he was great. Also likely. He was a superstar today

Kolar showed something too .

Not a bad game by any means but don't think there's too much to take away from it other than some young guys doing solid with their reps. Of course you'll never know, but there's part of me that feels an offense with Dobbins and Andrews and a defense with Peters makes this game a toss up.

I don't think Worley is any good on a normal day, but I'll give him a lot of credit for playing hard and putting up some good tape at times. He was the obvious target on the field today and I felt like he held up decently well considering how much they went his way. Not easy for a guy like that to matchup against Chase and Higgins all day.

 

[ravenslord]

Harbaugh should show a video of that arrogant,asinine coin flip by the Bengals after scoring a TD ALL FUCKING WEEK !!!!!!

correct. They have a better conference record. If we beat 1 other AFC team this year we would be the 5 seed
