Welcome to Meet Then Enemy, r/bengals Q&A Thread for each match up. We figured the fans on each team’s sub more about their team, so why don’t we ask each other?
This week we’re inviting the fans over at r/ravens for some friendly Q&A. Ravens fans, help yourself to some flair on the sidebar!
No trash talk or flamebaiting allowed, this is a civil thread.
I think the bengals are more hungry and not willing to lose two in a row more than the ravens are. And bengals have clutch gene
Literally all I want is no injuries. We can kill each other in playoffs, I just want a semi healthy ravens team. It’s just infuriating watching us be good every year then have half the roster on IR by December.
Ravens fan here……I think we both can agree we mentally can’t handle 2 losses in a row.
Yup, I’d settle for a tie, just this once…
Hey guys! I asked this before our game, but I’ve been asking every team’s fans- What’s the best pizza in Baltimore???
Probably Pizza Hut.
Hahaha def not Pizza Hut. At least get Pizza John’s if you want a decent pizza. We have more authentic Italian pizzas in little Italy not too far from the stadium but downtown Baltimore can be a little sketchy so be careful.
I’m so scared lol
Aside from Lamar being healthy, what has made your offense do well this season? Is your running game good? How are Andrew’s and Flowers been in the passing game? Or has it mostly been Lamar putting the team on his back
Our run game as usual has been 1 of the NFL’s best. It’s elite. Most rush yds, 2d highest ypc, most rush TDs, 3rd highest rush 1d%. And that was before we used Keaton. That dude is scary fast, he’s like our version of Achane.
Zay has been 90% of the pass game. It’s become very predictable tbh. Just him on underneath routes all day. It works though, he separates & will juke you into the shadow realm, watch the clip of him sending Witherspoon flying in the Seattle game. We’ll try hitting Bateman on deep balls a couple times before giving up and going back to Zay all game. Bateman has been good though, he’s finally healthy and looking good. OBJ hasn’t contributed a ton in terms of yds & TDs but he’s a DPI machine, corners always grab him cuz they’re scared of him housing it and we get a ton of yds off those DPI. He’s older but he’s still fairly fast and he’s still got his hands. Agholor benefits from low expectations but has low key been our WR2, he’s been good here. Duv has been moved back to just a returner but that’s fine cuz he’s an elite returner. Andrews hasn’t been involved nearly as much as he should be, Monken needs to remember he has a top 3 TE.
Overall this team looks way more like a system. Lamar’s had to deal with an inconsistent OL but our pass concepts actually make sense now so it’s not just Lamar being Superman every week like it was the last 5 years. This is def the best Lamar’s ever been, he’s won plenty from the pocket and his passing is far better than it’s ever been and he’s still got the legs. Trayvon is right, if you give a QB some WR help it generally helps their passing lol.
Baltimore Ravens fans: Which team do you all hate the most in the AFC North?
For me, it’s the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Tough call honestly. Steelers are out historic top enemy and we hate them, y’all are the biggest threat in the division, and the browns have Cosby an insane contract. I gotta go with the browns, as much as I despise Ben he’s not on the team anymore and Watson is. That contract is insane for any player except maybe Mahomes, and Watson isn’t even good. I know they’re hyping him for a decent game vs us but he was still a bitch that didn’t want to play our defense and sat out that game, and he’s been awful in Cleveland. So yeah it’s Cleveland imo.
I’m scared it’s gonna be a bloodbath on both sides but nothing’s more fun than when Scorned Shiesty shows up.
How’s the cinci secondary been this year? Haven’t paid them much attention since the safeties left, and the defense strength def seems to be the front 7
Do you guys have the depth to create a pass rush with Hendrickson and Hubbard out?
We’ll be down at least one tackle, with one capable replacement. But we might also be down a second tackle with a really bad replacement for him.
We keep waiting for Ossai to turn into the guy from the first 59 minutes of the AFC championship last year . He has not turned into that guy
🤠 no
Fuck the Ravens, Joe Burrow is your fucking Daddy, he’s gonna drop 5 hundo on your sorry asses with 4 TD’s and Mixon is going to run for 2 more.
Lamar is like 7-1 as a starter vs the bengals and Burrow is 4-4 vs the ravens, and half his wins were when the Ravens didn’t have Lamar. Burrow is undeniably a top QB but it’s been a while since he’s beaten a healthy Ravens team.
Ravens fan here, if we are way up on you guys in the 4th don’t get discouraged. We’ve been outscored in the 4th this year 72-55. If we actually play Keaton Mitchell be prepared to say wow. He’s a mini Barry Sanders
