That would have been an entire extra day Nah cuz Bucs/Cowboys is going to be a ratings boom. I guess what I should have said (and others have said the same) is that this was the non-Bucs/Cowboys game that had flexibility to be moved around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 If Lamar plays, I see this being a very competitive game. The Ravens defense should be able to hold the Bengals in relative check but they will need to score around 24-26 points to win. Not happening if Lamar does not play. CIN 24 BAL 13 I'm guessing he will NOT be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolts223 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 If Lamar plays this game is pretty close to a toss-up tbh. I still lean ever so slightly towards the Bengals. Bengals win 31-27 if Lamar plays. Bengals win by more if he doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it just Dobbins, Andrews, Zeitler, and Marcus Peters? Maybe Huntley too. He probably could have gone if it was a playoff game. 19 hours ago, AFlaccoSeagulls said: turned the ball over 5 times and still only lost by 11 to their entire starting lineup. Fair enough, but considering Burrow played pretty poorly and we kind of took our foot off the gas in the second half, I'm not overly concerned. I don't think we even picked up a first down in the 2nd half once we were up 17 if my memory serves me correctly. Seems like we just felt content to get off the field and rest up for next week. Having said that, this is a very tough, well-coached Ravens team that you can't count out or let up on. If we do the same thing next week we could very well lose. I expect to win but would not be surprised at all if it was a one score game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngusMcFife Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 If Lamar plays, the Ravens have a good chance to win. If Huntley plays, the Ravens could win but it'd be tough. If Brown Jr. plays, the Ravens have no chance at winning. I give Huntley a decent chance just because it's possible the week off helped him rest his arm and he's throwing better than he did at the end of the regular season. Coincidently, the Ravens top offensive players (Lamar, Stanley, Andrews, Dobbins, Edwards) have never played together in a game this year. But they might on Sunday. The hope this year for the Ravens has always been that their recovering players come back and are effective come playoff time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to get our butts kicked in a rematch against them this week" *Not actual quotes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluhartz Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) On 1/9/2023 at 11:50 AM, AFlaccoSeagulls said: If you aren't interested in many games this weekend, this game is going to be one to watch simply because it seems like there's going to be A LOT of toxicity/chippy-ness among the players. We already had 2 fights break out yesterday, I suspect there's going to be a few fights and a lot of words back and forth between the teams. And all of this while the Ravens play Tyler Huntley and score maybe 13 points. You're probably right about the chippy things happening. I hope we(Bengal) win. I won't say good luck, because I wouldn't mean it. But I will say I hope nobody gets hurt on either team. And I am just happy to see no stealers in the playoffs, that always makes me happy.. All of the people saying Bengals big makes me worry.. I never like that unless it's a truly terrible team, which the Ravens obviously aren't. Can't wait for the game though.
