what does that make the ravens?!

A gaping hole for AJ Green, thanks to Jimmy Smith having a 4-game vacation.

Things should be a bit more solid downfield after his triumphant return...right?

Andey!

Probably. But if I knew for a *FACT* that the Ravens would play the Saints in the Superbowl(I wouldn't know the outcome, just that the game was happening), I'd want to see the Saints completely blow us out in the regular season. Like we just come out looking like complete dog crap but they do everything right and get all the lucky bounces. Then we can make adjustments for the SB game while they haven't seen us execute properly against them yet.

Just checked and the Ravens have a losing record all-time against the Bengals now. Ugh. We also have a losing record against the Steelers though last night's game gets us a little closer. We should be able to get back within 1 game of .500. But if you include the playoffs we're way way behind.

The Ravens have consistently been the third best team in the North when it comes to interdivisional games. This is not good. Pretty sure we had a solid winning record against Bengals when the North first started, too. So they have beaten us soundly.
But
Wow, yeah. We were 8-4 against the Bengals when the North started. Now we are 22-23. That is HORRIBLE. Especially since it's not a situation where like we were bad for 5 years while they were top-notch so gained like 10 games. We have lost 8/10 currently though. That is really, really bad. This HAS to change.

I know I' asking too much here from the Professional Worrier (TM), but you should stop worrying about the Bengals. Almost every year they win the division is because they SWEPT the division, and then stumble their way through four-five other close games with lovely teams.

Marvin Lewis is a one-trick pony, with absolutely no flexibility. It's the reason he hasn't won a single playoff game in fifteen years. even though he's has seven trips with two different quarterbacks.

He builds his teams to beat the AFC North, nothing more.

Also, he''s not sweeping the north this year. Both we a Cicy will be 5-1 at the end of he season. Joe was rusty after having a easy first game, and Green got THREE TDs because Jimmy Smith earned himself a 4-game vacation. Both of he above will be solved by Next Week.

You want to know why Ravens keep splitting or get swept each season with the Bengals? It's partially because the NFL keeps fuckin with us, and putting the second meeting at he last game of he season ALMOST EVERY YEAR THIS DECADE

We're usually too exhausted from more important games played earlier (already eliminated from the playoffs, or too injured to really put up a fight).

2017: last game
2016: last game
2015: last game
2012: last game
2011: last game
2010: last game

On our schedule every year, there are THIRTEEN different teams to choose from.

this year is only the third time in a decade hat es with a different team.

last game is always divisional which is good and the steelers always have to put the coup de grace on a Browns head coach except hue so it ends up being that

Oh I know, but they could at least switch up the divisional opponents every year, instead of once a decade.

and prior to 2010, we had a just a thee-peat with he Steelers ,a everyone else was unique on the final game of the season. Three Steelers, one brows,one Bengals , and three non-divisional is quite a breath of fresh air.

Schedule USED to not be about ratings first.

Let's Go The Ravens.

We're a totally different team from that last meeting. Whereas your team is almost exactly the same.

Mark clayton was way better than perriman. He got open a few times

Yeah, Perriman has sparks of brilliance, then completely drops off the map for four weeks. He's hopeless.

Clayton would get open around five tines every game, and then drop every other pass. That is why he averaged 600 yards a year.

He also got tons of yards after the catch, which was why we kept him on the roster.

He could have been a hot 1000-yard receiver if he could been more consistent on making the catch (over 60%).

His 50% regular season completion percentage dropped into the toilet during playoff games against quality defenses. In 2008, he averaged 25%.
