I never know what to think of the Ravens....I feel like they should be an 8-8 type team but who knows.

Week 1 is hard for me to predict. I don't think this game will be within 10 points, but could see either team winning.

Bengals seem to be choking out Baltimore. 15-0 isn't the close game I was expecting.

Still not sure about Dalton. I was waiting on that crucial, back-breaking interception from him, but it never came. He didn't lose the game, but would have liked some of those field goals to be touchdowns instead. I think he played considerably better than Flacco, anyways.

But an opening-day win IN Baltimore is great, especially with the defense getting banged up. Lost Burfict to a concussion, and didn't Hall/Atkins miss some time at the end too?

I'd be interested in hearing how some Baltimore fans feel about Flacco and his contract. Bigdaddy? You're the resident Ravens fan, right?

Yeah, I think if the Ravens don't go anywhere again this season, it's time to replace Flacco.

Bengals definitely dominated the game and it was a shame it ended up having to come down to 2 long bombs at the end. Both pass defenses were stellar all game. Almost all of the damage by both teams was done on the outside and in the flat. However, it's evident the Bengals need to do 2 things better.

1. Pass rush. Until the last 2 plays, no sacks. Geno Atkins clearly isn't the same as he was a year ago. He may take a while to get it back. This affects everyone else, especially Dunlap and Hunt.

2. Run blocking. Without Marvin Jones and Now Eifert, the Bengals don't have 2 of their biggest weapons that get AJ Green free. Teams are going to be insane not to cover Green in red zone situations. They are going to need to be able to pound the ball instead of relying on conversions on 3rd and 7 or 3rd and 8 or else Nugent may kick a TON of FG's.
