Join Baltimore Beatdown fans in this NFL Week 17 Early Games 'Open Thread' to post your comments live as we root for a couple of upsets until our Baltimore Ravens take the field at 4pm to take care of their own business with a great win at the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Baltimore Ravens couldn't care less that the Cincinnati Bengals need to win this game to make the playoffs, as the Ravens have their own goals to focus on and plan to end the Bengals season today and extend their own, starting with a well-earned rest during a bye week as they head into the post season with a win today.
Are the Ravens ready to show they have what it takes??
A Super Bowl victory including a third beatdown of the Pittsburgh Steelers here in Baltimore, would be a great start to a Happy New Year!
As noted in an article by Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times, the Baltimore Ravens kicking game and especially their coverage teams, have regressed in 2011 compared to last season.
Three contributors to Baltimore Beatdown go out on a limb and make their predictions on the Baltimore Ravens at the Cincinnati Bengals key game this Sunday
The Baltimore Ravens released their final injury report in advance of Sunday's game at the Cincinnati Bengals and while no one really expects WR Anquan Boldin to play in the game, he was not listed as officially out.
The stats might not be exactly the same, but they are close enough to see the definite comparisons between the Cincinnati Bengals rookie QB, Andy Dalton, and the 2008 rookie season of Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco.
These NFL odds & ends come from the wagering site, Bovada, and offer not just traditional betting lines, but also some interesting proposition bets on specific games and this week focuses on the final weekend of the regular season as well as the post season and even beyond.
Good luck with that!!!
In my complete game review, I praised the efforts of cornerbacks Joe Haden and Sheldon Brown, as I was unable to recall an instance where one of the two even gave up a reception to a Baltimore receiver. According to PFF, it turns out that I was right.
