HoosierCat Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I know, still a month away, but may as well get the ball rolling. Flacco is out with a back injury, tho he's expected back by the states of the season. Meanwhile... Bring on week 1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Ha! QB depth has them contemplating Kaepernick. They want their fans to pray about it first, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 So, it's not going well in Baltimore... Quote The Baltimore Ravens' list of offseason injuries is gruesome to gander. In just the past 10 days, John Harbaugh's team has lost running back Kenneth Dixon (MCL), guard John Urschel (retirement), corner Maurice Canady (MCL), tight end Crockett Gillmore (MCL) and guard Nico Siragusa (ACL, MCL). That week-and-a-half's worth doesn't even include Joe Flaccodealing with back pain, the retirement of Zach Orr in January, or the losses of CB Tavon Young(ACL), TE Dennis Pitta (hip) and TE Darren Waller (year-long suspension) in June. One would understand if Ravens fans are freaking out. It's barely August and their team is a triage center. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000824979/article/ravens-marshal-yanda-sky-isnt-falling-in-baltimore Knowing our team, they'll still find some way to screw it up, but still, I can't help but feel a twinge of optimism.

Stripes Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 My meaningless early read is a Bengals win, but I doubt it will really excite anyone here. The Ravens just aren't very good, and their injuries won't help. Maybe if it's an ass-kicking people will care a little. At the very least it should prove a tough early examination for the o-line. I think I've brought up the o-line in every post I've made here this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Good reason to bring up the o-line. The entire season rests squarely on how what we get from them. 2017: Live or Die on the O-line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 The Ravens are falling apart from a personnel standpoint. Strangely quiet on the "Ozzie's a genius" media front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely goes down in the Battle of Ohio Classics. Just the thought of the Browns fans being so happy to finally see their Qb savior. Then, nope, not him. Try again and Johnny Fever was over before it began. I'm going to watch that on game pass, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I just watched it too for shits and giggles. Favorite moment: the Bengals are just ramming the ball up the middle over and over at the end trying to kill the clock, and Burkhead scores a d***head touchdown with 23 seconds remaining.

AMPHAR Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Glorious game. I forgot Cleveland had a winning record at the time with a decent defense and slight playoff hopes. Under those circumstances I would vault that edition of the Battle of Ohio among the top. Way sweeter than thumping them in 2007 in the Jungle when they had playoff hopes. Sorry for going off topic. Baltimore is still having injury questions, I think they may have lost another starter on the o-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 After the injury there were a lot of voices saying he could miss time, but the Ravens were downplaying the injury and saying they expected him back soon. So I think that's where it comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Without Burfit, I expect it's time for Terrance West to smoke us for 150 and 2 TDs. Hopefully we score 30 and it doesn't matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted September 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 A few depth chart notes for the game. RB is still Hill, Gio, Mixon. No real surprise but still disappointing. Hopkins is officially starting RG. Moobs backing up both OT spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
