Re: Game Thread -- Ravens @ Bengals (Pseudo Preseason Edition)
MUCH more important to go on a playoff/SB run with a Healthy team than go all out and win a meaningless game.
Winning this game has No bearing on how they will perform next week, at home, in a playoff atmosphere.
We've seen what this team can do when healthy and that's what we'll need to make a run.

Re: Game Thread -- Ravens @ Bengals (Pseudo Preseason Edition)
The Ravens will lose and lose huge, possibly posting a goose egg on offense. The only upside will be that it never hurts to have a chance to evaluate the backups, particularly guys like Gino who might be asked to start next year. I'm disappointed that Doss is out as I would have really liked to see what he could offer as a starter.
I can never support a "play to lose" mentality, even in meaningless games, but I also don't mind giving guys like Suggs a chance to rest. The problem is that even if it's a fuzzy concept, momentum absolutely DOES exist, and they desperately need to grow and expand their momentum, especially on offense. A successful day on the road could be huge to an offense that needs to continue to work out kinks in rhythm and timing. They're squandering an opportunity today.

Re: Game Thread -- Ravens @ Bengals (Pseudo Preseason Edition)
Don't really like this approach. The Steelers took this approach vs us in 2007 and they whooped at home the next week by the Jags. I don't like coasting into the post season, teams that do that almost never go all the way.

I think it's a smart move and its what I've been expecting all week.
