Lol @ bengals cb on replay

 

[vas_a_morir]

Nice recovery by the Bengals D. Holding them to 3 after that huge first play doesn't feel good, but it's something to build on, at least.

 

[Doorman]

If this keeps up the whole night, it looks like Flacco's line isn't exactly going to be doing him any favors.

Also I think someone is burning food outside. Ugh.

 

[see5harp]

Harbaugh gets guys open with his scheme and concepts. He very much minimizes the decisions that Alex has to make. Alex isn't Peyton out there changing plays and rolling through progressions.

Alex doesn't seem to be hitting the 3 or 4 receiver ever but to give all credit to a coach is silly. I highly doubt many plays are planned to be scrambles or roll out screens to a streaking fullback. The offense looked better yesterday than they did for most of last season.

 

[Talon]

As I recall, the Ravens have their receivers read their route, a la Indianapolis with Peyton.

Seems like that short receiver #12 is screwed up on that 2nd down play.

 

[Arnie]

This is really odd. The BBC are streaming the ESPN Monday Night Football coverage from the US, but the BBC are legally bound to not show adverts, so when ESPN go to a break we get some flashy graphics and dance music.

 

[brentech]

Horrible commercial for the hats.

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this sounds amazingly better than actually getting commercials.

 

[vas_a_morir]

3 and out is the best case scenario after that first throw. A turnover is more likely, though.

 

[Arnie]

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this sounds amazingly better than actually getting commercials.

It's quite good for an NFL rookie like me who gets to see a breakdown of the teams and the conferences.

 

[UberTag]

fuck torrey smith

Torrey's going to have a MONSTER season.
I'm talking record-breaking.
I'll give him the edge over Julio due to the Ravens not having a Roddy White to throw to. (Boldin is chopped liver compared to Roddy.)

It does sound awesome :lol

 

[Coldnoodle]

Good job, good effort guys. Good job, good effort.

But you saw years and years of Alex w/o Harbs. You know what he is w/ and w/o Harbs. Why be mad? You have a great coach who can take a mediocre QB and make for a solid NFL passing game. Imagine when he gets a good one!

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Booooooo Pollard boooooooooooooooo! I bet he was driving that car...

lol ok

 

[vas_a_morir]

Good job, good effort guys. Good job, good effort.

lol, yep. The odds of scoring on that first drive were low, with that noise.

 

[Arnie]

Is a pass rusher someone who gets at the quarterback in a defence?

Like Clay Mathews the other night?

 

[Talon]

So this is pretty awesome that I can watch this game through ESPN3.

Only a matter of time until the NFL has a decent quality streaming product counter programmed to Cable options!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Yes.

 

[JCizzle]

These infomercials that ESPN is airing for some reason is like a TV version of malware.

 

[crimzonflame]

This might very be the most exiting offense in the league.

 

[BlackGhost]

Torrey is awesome

 

[Arnie]

Yes.

Thanks.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Got a little cute there Ravens.

 

[JCizzle]

Lol lil too cute BMore.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

lol

 

[Spectral Glider]

Good play, Boldin.

 

[jakncoke]

haha

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

LOL Boldin had trouble even recovering that.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Beautiful :jnc

 

[Seda]

Is a pass rusher someone who gets at the quarterback in a defence?

Yes. Just to clarify, it's not a position title.

 

[BlackGhost]

Jacoby mvp

 

[Dutch Gronk]

How long is Kirkpatrick injured? Will he play this season?

3 reverses already.

 

[Coldnoodle]

 

[jakncoke]

lol who is calling these plays? some madden noob?

 

[brentech]

Wish the packers knew what wrap up tackling was. Especially from the corners

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

You have to be able to tackle if you play defense in the game today? MIND BLOWN

 

[Smokey]

Jacoby mvp

Most vulnerable player sure, a real possibility

 

[The Frankman]

Is Ray Rice dead? WTF with all these reverses/end-arounds?

 

[see5harp]

It sounds like you've been listening to too much media coverage. "Harbaugh got them playing great football," "game manager," etc. I think Alex Smith makes pro bowl this year.

 

[crimzonflame]

If Flacco makes this conversion then there is no doubt he is elite. Clearly no debating.

 

[BlackGhost]

Ravens offense goes from one of the most boring to watch, to most exciting?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

clearly

 

[Victory Red]

Very few tackle properly, they just fling their bodies at the ground.

 

[Kave_Man]

Is Ray Rice dead? WTF with all these reverses/end-arounds?

Honestly not sure why this made me laugh so hard.

 

[Arnie]

Yes. Just to clarify, it's not a position title.

So it's more a description of a type of player, rather than a description of his exact position.

Is he a linebacker?

 

[crimzonflame]

ELITE

 

[The Frankman]

Honestly not sure why this made me laugh so hard.

I'm not used to all this trickeration in the Baltimore O!

 

[JCizzle]

What a fucking catch and poor throw.
