The AJ Green, the Joe Flacco, and the Defense- Week 2 Edition

rossihunter2 said:
i will say this - the bengals were down 2 starters of ok level:

the ravens were missing in this game:
  1. our number 1 corner
  2. our number 1 defensive player and quarterback of the defence
  3. our best interior pass rusher
  4. our 1st round rookie tight end
  5. our backup slot corner (to come in and make the dime a bit bigger or to replace tavon if he was tired or not matching up well)

that's 4 starters missing - 4 key starters
if CJ misses the whole game and we can prepare to not have him then I think we win this game, if CJ plays the whole game then we definitely win this game, if CJ even manages to play the 1st quarter then we most likely win this game

emphasis on the last sentence and if this was a Sunday game and not an away Thursday game, we win this game.
 
Looks like ZDS fooled us once again. Enough of this, time for Tim and bowser for real. Also judon has disappeared.

We are bleeding without Willie Henry.

Crabtree still has a major case of the dropsies.

Why the FUCK are we not using Collins?

Why the FUCK is hurst still starting? Seriously, what the fuck.

Marty always reverts to his usual self, he fucking always does.

Joe, stop missing so many fucking throws. You get a handful of easy throws and fucking miss all of them.

I’m now officially worried that Father Time has finally gotten his lethal hands on sizzle and Yanda, that’s bad.

EVERY FUCKING DRAFT PICK ON THE OL FOR FUCKS SAKE

EVERY FUCKING DOLLAR OUTSIDE OF MOSLEY AND JOHN BROWN ON THE OL FOR FUCKS SAKE
 
What the fuck was that... Suggs looked 46 today and needed a breather every other snap.

I’m so glad Mosley is okay or else the season would be over.

Can we stop fucking putting in lamar did it work even once?

Flacco passed for 376 yards and I know a ton were junk time but still...

We need to give Collins the ball more everytime he has it he does something insane.

Crabtree looks like complete shit and can’t catch half the balls thrown his way.

I hated not running in all these short yard situations not even that but we didn’t even have a back in half the sets.

The line looked terrible I’m really fucking tired of Stannleys soft ass getting hurt very few games. He isn’t special he’s not even a top 10 tackle. He can’t even stay on the fucking field. Hurst looks like shit but not sure how I feel about putting brown against von for game 1.

Jimmy smith is a stupid fuck head. If he didn’t have to abuse his wife we would have won. Tavon Young really looked awful.

What pisses me off most of all is who we lost to. We let this stupid ass team come and beat us down in our own house to keep us out of the playoffs and what do we do 2 games later when we get the chance to return it on their own field? Get blown out bad. Fuck this

Bengals OC called a good game. Lots of short passes to help neutralize the rush more.
I'm not worried about this one.

what Bill Lazor did was he noticed that CJ was out and realised he could create confusion by speeding up the bengals play speed and targeting the RBs and going over the middle - you could see Young and Onwuasor (and Levine when he was in) all looking around trying to work out who was calling what and why and what they were looking for - with any sort of preparation I don't think the Bengals are able to take advantage of CJ's absence - and in fact they literally only scored 6 points the entire 2nd half

ZDS was fine - he should have been rushing from the interior more rather than the EDGE but he was the most impactful OLB rushing the passer

I'm kinda worried about Sizzle given that he basically didnt have to play half the game on Sunday but couldnt make any real impact today at all but Yanda I have no worries about whatsoever
 
it pisses me off that we lost to these Bengals because as good as they are, they are not as good as they seem and we are almost definitely a better all round roster and team
 
As it has been said before, if Mosley doesn't bruise his knee, we win this game. It wouldn't have been pretty, primarily because our offensive line played poorly and we had no pass rush, but I don't think we would have given up 21 in the 1st with him in.

Used great misdirection too

It's why I'm not worried. Expect @Sami84 to come in and preach his narrative as per usual but he's wrong. But this didn't look like the same team in the other three quarters. Stanley and CJ come back for the next game.

I had us losing this but even freely admitted that I think we are the better team. Sometimes it comes down to more than just the roster. The real kicker here is that we need to fix this offensive line. We can solve a significant amount of the problem if we bench Hurst in favor of Brown. I love the receiving corps and I think when Jimmy and Henry come back the defense is fine.
 
Not sure there was a single Raven that didn't personally screw something up at some point tonight. The post-CJ 21-0 meltdown was insurmountable against a team like the Bengals- even with luck and some good calls.

The Bengals, for some weird ass reason, came into this game as though they had more motivation. Dalton looked like prime Brady out there and Mixon was the hitting running lanes like they were drunk in an Oklahoma convenience store. I hate the shit ass Bengals, but they won fair and Im thankful that they didn't pull any typical dirty ass Bengals shit tonight.

I didn’t see shit from ZDS but I was also tuned in to following the ball 100%. Too tense to analyze live.

Still feel that we have better luck with tyus instead of peanut for sure, and on passing downs for fucks sake let Tim rush

Honestly after their final TD the defense was fine. The offense had it's quirks but it's not a good oline. That's the thing that's killing the offense right now more than anything. It can't run block. Which is a problem that can be fixed but our coach is too damn stubborn.

when was the last time the ravens won a comeback game like this?
Click to expand...
Good question. It's been a while. I know that when I saw the score was 21-7 I knew they couldn't win because they are not a comeback team.

The last big comeback was in 2016 when they started out 20-0 against Cleveland.

when CJ is ready to go I dont expect to see much of Peanut at all - Kenny has a firm grip on Peanut's job now and Peanut is basically borrowing CJ's spot until CJ comes back - Tyus is a good chess piece but I dont want him as an ILB on a consistent basis

but its outrageous that Timmy isnt getting more snaps at rush LB - sizzle was gassed and Judon was doing nothing for whatever reason - the bengals were also getting the ball out quick so obviously we need to bring in the guy who has the best chance of winning quickly in the down which means someone with speed and agility - which means Timmy who's clearly already our best edge bender by miles
