Game Thread -- Ravens @ Bengals (Pseudo Preseason Edition)

**DarienA** · 12-30-2012, 03:16 PM

Unconcerned about this junk loss.

Did like what I saw from some of the young players.

I fear it will.

I seriously doubt that it. If the Patriots lose to Miami that would be insane.

Still hate losing to the Bengals.

Oh well, Cinci Cat, Congrats on the win.

Happy New Year one and all.

How would it?

Cincy played their second stringers most of the game too.

Any word on injuries to KO and Leach?

How so?

It was truly a meaningless game

**bmorecareful** · 12-30-2012, 03:18 PM

The Ravens will stumble backwards into the playoffs losing 4 of their last 5 games. That doesn't inspire much confidence.

Bingo. And with a now hot Indy team coming into town.

Not happy about this.

Huh? The Ravens second team lost, who cares?

How about getting a rested Yanda, Ngata, Ray Lewis, Suggs, etc... Does that inspire confidence?

Agreed, never been a fan of resting players like this. Even more so given the last month of performances. They needed to built of of last weeks win.

The last time we saw the starters in a full game it was a throttling of the Giants how is that not having momentum?

Only thing that bothers me is walking into the playoffs with a offense that we have no clue what their real skill level is

Yea because we sure fought tooth and nail for this one. Christ, we sewed up our playoff spot and let the young'uns take a crack at winning. "Losing" this game was meaningless.

The Chuck and Luck show seem to be this season's Cinderella Story. Not sure I'd like that either.

Indianapolis is absolutely red hot right now. They can beat anybody anywhere when they're on, and they're on. The Ravens have no momentum and numerous key starters will be playing rusty and banged up. They have catastrophic timing, rhythm, and confidence issues on offense.

That's not to mention that IF they beat Indianapolis, they have to take the show on the road and beat (in all likelihood) Denver. It isn't impossible, but it sure doesn't seem likely.

And not moving the ball well during their couple drives today. Looked like same old road Ravens on offense.

You also said we'd lose the rest of our games before the NYG game. I think that's way too negative IMO. The Ravens clearly didn't want to tip their hand. What have Indi done on the road this year? Nothing.

Btw Houston lost against the 2-14 Colts last season too.
