I am a Ravens fan to the core. I piss purple (will send pic on request). I follow this team, listen to all the corny ass players talk shows on the radio, read every article. But I gotta tell ya that this team is headed DOWN!! I do not see the Ravens being able to rebound from that bitter, gut wrenching Seattle loss. WHY?...Glad you asked
1. This team has lost respect for the coaches. Cam Cameron in particular. Ray Rice couldn't speak after the game he was so pissed at him. Cam let Rice carry the ball 5 times!!?? Are you fucking kidding me? One of the radio hosts was on the sidelines in Seattle and he said that Flacco was rolling his eyes when Cameron was sending in the plays! WHEN THE PLAYERS LOSE RESPECT FOR THEIR COACH, THE TEAM GOES DOWN HILL. Look what the 49ers did when they kicked Singletary to the curb (who I have 1st hand knowledge from a former player that said the team had ZERO respect for which is why he went as a free agent to Philly) and got Jimbo Harbaugh. Look what Dallas did that year when they brought Garrett on and kicked shit for brains out mid-season. I'm telling you, I could hear it in every single player during their radio shows this week that they are thoroughly disgusted with Cameron and that Harbarf doesn't have the Stones to order him to change. Yes they all had the politically correct response and didn't come out and say anything negative or quotable, but I listen to these guys every week and I can assure that this team is lacking trust in this coaching staff big time.
2. DOWN 2 DEFENSIVE STUDS Ray Lewis is OUT. Period. He is not playing and probably will miss 4 weeks! Don't believe the questionable or Harbarf's answer that "Ray is Ray" when asked if Lewis was playing Sunday. He can barely fucking walk. T. Suggs is playing but at 60%. He hasn't done shit in 2 weeks and the word is he looked real slow in practice this week. So minus The team's emotional leader and minus the ONLY pass rusher the Ravens have.
3. 4-3 / Cover 2 The reason why the Ravens struggle against Cincinnati is they run a cover 2 and they run the 4-3. Flacco struggles against these defensive looks and Cameron is to much a fucking idiot to figure it out and adjust. All 3 losses this year for the Ravens have come against 4-3 defenses and their 1 win against that defense was Arizona who they had to come from WAY behind to beat at home.
4. NO RECEIVERS VS VERY GOOD DEFENSE. Lee Evens has been hurt for 8 weeks with a 1-2 week injury? He still is not ready. Bolden can run 1 pattern well, across the middle, which is fine but he can't hold onto the ball! Torrey Smith WILL BE a stud, but he is still greener than green and when he does get open going down field Flacco misses him MOST of the time.
5. BENGALS WILL BRING THEIR "A" GAME Good teams don't lose 2 in a row without one hell of a fight. Bengals are well coached and motivated. They lost a great game to the Steelers. But they now have the confidence that they can play on the same field as anybody. They played San Fran as close as anybody this year. You will get maximum effort out of Cinncy today.
6. PLACE KICKER CUNTIFF IN A SLUMP,, He has missed last 4 kicks over 45. The usually sure foot of Billy Cundiff has all of a sudden be unreliable, especially on longer distances.
7.SPECIAL TEAMS ARE HORRENDOUS 2 kick off return fumbles by David Lee has resulted in him losing his job as kick returner (and in losing the game last week) As of Friday, John Harbarf could not tell us who the kick return would be Sunday. WHY? Because he doesn't fucking know!!! Don't have a stat but the Ravens are giving up way too much yardage on kick and punt returns
Ravens had Superbowl aspirations this year and they showed that it was well founded by beating the best in the NFL , Steelers twice, Jets , Texans. Then they lose to 2 absolutely terrible teams in Jacksonville and Seattle and Titans team they should've beat.
This team has had the tenacity to withstand some of the above major obstacles all year. But now you take Ray Lewis out, add the growing lack of confidence in the coaches and throw in some more injuries and it spells TROUBLE for the Ravens.
Cam Cameron actually tipped his hand for us. When the Ravens were down 10-0 he completely abandons the running game. WHY??????? BECAUSE HE HAS ZERO CONFIDENCE IN THIS OFFENSIVE LINE!!!!!!!! The Ravens will go back to the run today because if the pass ratio is 52-5 again Cam will get fired or run out of town by the fans. However it will not be successful because The Ravens Offensive line is HORRIBLE! And Cam's personality will be to run run run to show up all the fans that have been bitchin' for his job this week so he can say "See this is why I was right to pass 52 times!!" I think he would rather be "right" then to win
BOTTOM LINE.....
BENGALS +7...LOCK AND LOAD!!
AT THE VERY, VERY, BEST, THE RAVENS SQUEAK OUT FIELD GOAL WIN......BUT I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING
I have NEVER bet against my Ravens before. However I am so disgusted by the way this team (coaches in particular) have thrown away Golden Opportunity after Golden Opportunity to take TOTAL COMMAND over the AFC that it makes me want to puke. The 1st 2 loses were bad, but last week was DEVASTATING. The fans in Baltimore haven't been this sick about a game since the Steelers came back from 14 down in the playoffs last year.That game actually shut Suggs up!! That loss was as SOUR as its gets. Just imagine what the players feel......This team is starting to feel like a non-playoff team, not a Superbowl contender. It feels like 0-2 over the next 5 days to me...
Please bet what you think. This is just my humble opinion....But a VERY strong one
