GAME THREAD - Ravens/Bengals

[Sephy]

Here we are again. Lets not even put this in question today - lets take care of business!

GO RAVENS!!!

[Merlin]

We'll see if we can avoid two hallmarks of the last few years of the Billick era

1) Playing poorly in the rain
2) Not taking care of teams we should

Think the team will do well on both accounts today !

[Sephy]

Holt takes the opening kick to the 16.

[4G63]

Lets go D!!!

[Sephy]

1st, complete to Johnson at the sidelines for 18.

[StingerNLG]

And an 18 yard pass right off the bat. Argh.

[Sephy]

1st, tons of time for Fitzpatrick, goes deep to a well covered Johnson, incomplete.
2nd, Benson for 1, maybe.
3rd and 9, blitz comes, Ray lines up on the weak side and mildly blitzes - Pryce gets a tip and it falls incomplete.

[StingerNLG]

Nice pass rush by Tevor Pryce.

[Sephy]

Poor punt, Figurs gets it on the bounce to the 38. Nice field position.

[4G63]

Trevor Pryce is having a great year, even when being held most plays.....

[YRKPARAVEN]

Hope the Ref's don't let the Bungals hold all day like that last play.

[Merlin]

Always like it when we kick off and let the D shut them down, get in good field position AND get the ball to start the second half. Auspicious beginning. Good play by Pryce

[StingerNLG]

False start by Mark "The Playmaker" Clayton.

[StingerNLG]

Nice catch by Derrick Mason, yet again!

And they are getting screwed on the spot. There is a surprise.

[Sephy]

1st, give to LeRon for 6.
2nd and 4, false start on Clayton. Why are you false starting? There's hardly anyone there!
2nd and 9, PA, dropped by Mason.
3rd and 9, complete to Mason on the line, and they give them a TERRIBLE spot. This should be challenged by Harbaugh.

[4G63]

Bad spot asshole!!!

[WxKevin]

what a shitty spot!

[StingerNLG]

Good, challenge it coach. You should get this. It sucks we have to waste our challenge on this.

[Sephy]

And he's challenging. That should DEFINITELY be a first.

Meanwhile, on FOX, G-Men up 7 on Skins
