Be nice to see the Ravens finally pay for being so inept on offense

I enjoyed this.

I think my diarrhea is just the reverse curse energy from everyone in the national media treating this like a gimme for the Bengals. I definitely don’t think it’ll be a walkover with both teams so dinged up. But a one score win will still do just fine.

I am starting to get a strangely bad feeling about this game. Hopefully it’s just diarrhea.

I feel okay about the injury situation. There's a big difference between having an army of dinged up players on the field in December and having key players lost on IR. Weather it, keep grinding out games, and push for that home playoff game where players can fully rest without any traveling. Win out and the Bengals are guaranteed the 2-seed at the very least.

It's gotten to the point that when I see Joe throw the back shoulder to either Chase or Boyd, I think it's an automatic completion. Clearly the other skill players have made those plays too, but those two specifically have really mastered the timing with Joe. I think it's been a major development this season for Boyd especially.

Looks like TB will be without Wirfs and Vea.

It was awkward as is often the case on the Manningcast, but oh well it was still fun.

Yeah. Both he and Kenny Pickett were placed in the Joe Burrow bucket by some draft "experts" as the "mechanically sound winners that don't wow you with athleticism" archetypes.

It'll be fun if Joe has an opportunity to talk about the game at hand a little bit (Pats/Cards), from a broadcaster kind of perspective. Mac Jones was being compared with him a little bit, even if that was always dumb, so he might have a unique stylistic viewpoint about his decisions in the pocket.

Ossai did return to the game in the 4th quarter.

I’ve had Killer Brownies at Dorothy Lane Market in south Dayton. They’re great. Just expect a side of diabetes.

I was waiting for a better view of this throw/catch, and Sans offers two in this thread. It really brings out the quality of the throw; I thought it was hard to tell from broadcast replays.

I'll be there for the Bills and Ravens. I think the Hendrickson loss is significant, and that with an already anemic pass rush there could be trouble against Tom Brady and Josh Allen in particular. But it's a good opportunity for Joseph Ossai to earn his keep, and also for Cam Sample and Jeffrey Gunter to show that they are a relevant part of the process.

Oh to be clear I fully expect to be participating in another Super Bowl. I don’t fear any team in this league. None of the non-Awuzie injuries is likely to last to the WC round as of current reports.

Decent update.

Minor point: I hope today was a blip for Chrisman. That can’t continue.

Oof

Gotta win them all for the one seed. It’ll be a tough game on the road.

Awuzie-CTB-Hilton starters. Apple is still great depth if he is still under contract.

True! Times must have changed because I didn’t even think of that

Rest in peace to the only thing Browns fans had to smile about

CTB is my dude

Baltimore is on their 3rd QB

Glorious
