Bengals @ Ravens Recap

Well there ain't nothing much to review here, although they show a lot of promise offensively, defensively they was just out played by Baltimore Ravens tonight.
the defense for the Cincinnati Bengals just did not show up at anytime in this game. we had no pass rush all night which just allow Joe Flacco to tear it up, secondary did not help at all, Flacco was just pretty much throwing to open guys all night. This secondary is the weakness of this football team Baltimore Ravens game out exploited it. Rey Maualuga played the worst game in his Cincinnati Bengals career, it makes you kind of wonder if he has what it takes to play middle linebacker in a division like the AFC North. offensively we had a lot of bright spot. I really like what Hawkins did, AJ Green did a lot better than I thought he would against this defense, BJGE also have a nice day, Andy Dalton played a good game minus a few overthrown ball and couple turnovers. The thing I was most impressed with was the offensive line, the open up seams for BJGE and Dalton didn't take much of a punishment. So who's the blame? Blame no one, this was sort of expect, not this bad but the overall outcome. The Cincinnati Bengals defense have a lot to learn from this tape, Rey Maualuga played scared all night, the secondary made a lot of small mistakes that turn into big pay out for the Ravens offense, and the D-line got no pressure or penetration to stop the run. The Defense had to set the tone and they didn't, this offense had no chance. We struggle to finish in the Red Zone, but so much of that is the lack of having a tight end to throw the football too or to even threaten the middle of the field. Overall it's week 1 and that was a tough challenge for us this week. Although many "fake" fan or throwing the towel in already, real fans won't panic the season is looong. Time to go listen to Coach Lewis.........
