This right here is my biggest concern not only for monday but the entire season.
So far in pre-season we haven't shown the ability to do much of either with any kind of consistency which is highly concerning to me.
IMO the offense will have to carry this team this year which we haven't seen have to do in quite some time.
I think we will have to put up more points per game then we're use to seeing and quite frankly, nobody really knows if they can actually do it because we haven't had to see them do it to this capacity.
So to answer the original question, no, wouldn't shock me at all against an inner division opponent that historically as of recent years has played us very tough, knows us well, and by all accounts so far has an improved squad.

Hi, guys. It's that time already. I would be surprised if the Bengals can pull out a win. Tall order to start out season at the Vault. I think it will be a great game regardless.

I'm with you. It's going to come down to a couple of big plays like it always does. Should be a hell of fun game to watch

We always play each other tough. Dalton came of age in last years game though. He showed Cincy fans that he was for real. I'm sure he hasn't forgotten how he felt after coming so close last year there.
Re: Would you be Shocked if the Ravens lost Monday?
I don't think they let T. Smith beat them this year. I would still be surprised though.
Re: Would you be Shocked if the Ravens lost Monday?
would not be shocked. our pass rush is a concern. if we can get pressure I think we'll be okay. The Ravens have traditionally struggled against big-time passing teams, witness losses in past to Pats, Squealers, Bengals, Peyton, Chargers. I wonder if the Bengals will be the Next Big Team in the NFL. hopefully not.
Re: Would you be Shocked if the Ravens lost Monday?
Watching some of the season opener scores, I feel that first games are fools gold. So no, I would not be shocked if they lost, but I would question their readiness.
Every year a team loses that apparently shouldn't have and the analyst around the league go into panic mode.

Just what I was thinking.
Week 1 can be as false as the pre season at times.
Re: Would you be Shocked if the Ravens lost Monday?
The Ravens have proven their ability to lose to anyone. Cam could give Rice just 4 or 5 touches. C Williams could be burned numerous times. Joe could have one of those games. We SHOULD win . . .
