Mike Preston grades the Ravens' 23-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals
|
Quarterbacks: C
Joe Flacco threw only eight passes, but had little chance to get into a rhythm. Backup Tyrod Taylor (pictured) was just as inaccurate, but made plays with his legs, which is expected from a backup. The interception late in the game was a back breaker, and he almost had another.

Actually,the Ravens didn't want to play the Bengals again.You know you'd lost!!!! You'll never get to the super bowl with little Joey and you'll definitely never get to the supper bowl,let alone win one with Harbaugh as coach.So again losers,enjoy your short stint in the playoffs.Murder accomplice Lewis needs to hang em up.Fishlips Suggs is pretty much useless except for his BIG mouth!!!!
John doesn't have to " fess up" to any of us about resting starters Mike. There is some stratgedy there. Maybe over our heads.
Disagree on Special Team's grade. Easily a D- or an E. Cook was atrocious. You can forgive one shanked punt, but everyone of his punts were terrible and gave the Bengals great field position. These terrible punts led to 16 Cincy points. Where Bengal punter kept us inside the 10 yards line most of the day; Cook could not get it beyond the 50. The missed FG was big at the time as it would of given the Ravens a 4 point lead and Cincy might have had to go for TD instead of FG to go ahead in the game. All-in-all a terrible game for our kickers,
