With his ejection I guess you can say that lol

yep that what i thought, was not sure if it was him or not

[volcom69]

Boom

[Dimster28]

cool same final score as last week

[Stripes]

Good then.  I don't care if it ended up ugly; I'll take any prime time division victory.  On to Carolina.

[volcom69]

Awesome! Now get some of those guys healthy in this mini bye week.

Man if this o-line can click and protect Andy this offense has a chance to be awesome with Mixon back there.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

2-0, sitting on top of division for now, can't complain about that.  Beat 2 decent teams by 11 points.  Bide time til Burfict comes back and do something about that o-line.  Hope Price can come back next week (in a boot).

[Stripes]

I'm a bit concerned about all the dings.  Price would be a brutal loss, and Kirk/Williams hurts a lot too.  Get healthy immediately.

[BengalszoneBilly]

We won. We're in first place. Can we all be happy for just one moment?

[Scottishbengal]

well happy - a bend don't break second half, held out for the W in a tough game. Just after 5:00am here so family all off to bed now with smiles. WHODEY

[BengalszoneBilly]

What ever. Amphar you 2-0. Start the week 3 thread. Quit fucking around!

They should be, Hubbard piled-on at the end like everyone else,  was there after Geno had him in-grasp.

Agree that was an Atkins sack

[AMPHAR]

Supposedly Price in a boot 

[Stripes]

Of course ESPN finds a way to turn this into a negative headline.

[Stripes]

Through two games I have heard William Jackson's name called very few times, and I think it's because QBs aren't throwing the ball in his direction.  He is looking as-advertised and I love it.

[kingwilly]

I followed the game on my phone from the chain gang at my son's HS game. Our guys won on both counts. Great night. 

Just wait till Preston ANS Vontez are on the field. I think this team could be a 5 seed. Seriously. I do.

I think that's reasonable. Smiles all around, Billy!

One of my students is a Ravens fan.  

I've kindly prepared his desk before his arrival during 1st period: 

He always wears ugly short-sleeved purple t-shirts and I'm worried he might get cold, so I've got a nice orange and black jacket to keep him warm.

I was afraid he'd be depressed after last night, so there's a Bengals clad teddy bear for him to cuddle with.

I was also worried he'd be so distraught over the loss that he wouldn't have time to fix his hair this morning.  No worries...there's a Bengals hat on his desk for just these purposes.

 

Don't let anyone tell you teachers don't care.

Having had a short night to reflect (couldn't sleep, stayed up to drink in an as much ESPN and NFL network as I could since I couldn't sleep and was anticipating a happy day at work amongst all the Ravens fans...), the following:

1. I absolutely will not kill them for the play selections to end the first half. I have railed for years that Marvin is too conservative there, I will not get mad at him for allowing them to try and put foot on throat. Execute better next time, but keep trying to score. That's how you get ready to win playoff games and other big games, frankly.

2. The Lazor offense is a joy to watch. So creative, not just at scheming guys open, but in protecting Andy and maximizing the effectiveness of the line.

3. Cool to see what Green looks like with help and someone to move him around in various sets. He is uncoverable in man in that scenario, and if they do double cover him, it makes the other weapons that much more effective.

4. Uzomah looks like Eifert's replacement in real time. 

5. Mixon looks like the real deal to me for sure, putting the ball and team on his back in 4th quarter for that last drive to go up eight and then to set up the clinching field goal felt right. 

6. Tyler Boyd is a legit weapon. Once they start sprinkling Ross in more effectively, I see no reason for them to take their foot off the gas at any point.

7. Gotta give Austin credit, that defense does look like it is trying for turnovers at all times. That's a nice change. And, while we are at it, loved the aggressiveness from Austin on the blitz call that resulted in the Williams forced fumble and recovery late in the 4th. Guenther would have had them in a shell. 

8. Big kicks from Bullock again, he has earned my trust. Wish he had a bigger leg, but nice to be able to count on him when they need him.

9. NO sacks allowed by the offensive line. That's quite something, considering what everyone expected and feared heading into the game...

Thrilled with this start to the season. Just huge. It was fun to watch the national narrative shift in real time last night...

[AMPHAR]

I think the entire secondary had been A+ through 2 games.   Ravens and Colts didn’t get much down the feild.  

Both resorted and had success underneath.

Fuck you ESPN !!! Go eat a dick !!!

This organization recycles coaches, we recycle threads.

Flacco didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday.  Jackson didn’t practice today due to stomach trouble.  RG3 at full strength.
