BALTIMORE -- 1st quarter, zero catches combined for the two Pro Bowl receivers. Zero time for Palmer all day.
Odom with his first tackle, bringing down his former college teammate Le'Ron McClain.
Rucker in at tackle. Punt for Baltimore. Joe Flacco looking like a rookie QB, missing a pass he should be able to make underhanded.
Zero blocking on the punt return. It didn't matter if it was Chatman or Devin Hester, nobody was returning that punt with that (lack) of blocking.
Another time out used at the lone. 3&2 with 13:09 left.
That's two.
3 yards net passing so far for the Bengals. That's not good.
The run blocking has been fine, and Perry's hitting holes quickly, so there is some offense. But zero points.
Scratch that -- Bart Scott had nobody touch him and went to a loss of two.
Dawan Landry looked like he just punched Hebert. I guess not, because no flags were thrown.
Nearly had a cheerleader disaster. The Ravens have male cheerleaders. Really, why? Well, they have a marching band, too. I guess they're trying too hard to be collegiate.
Joseph breaks up a pass, but still all the time in the world.
Well, the key to a punt return is blocking in the back, apparently.
Starting at the 12. Ugh.
So, where do you look with the No. 1 pick? Get the scouting departm... oh, wait...
Chatman was open deep, but Palmer was hit as he threw and incomplete.
Nice blocking.
* Punt return called back for a TD. David Jones is hurt. Your turn Simeon Castille.
The Ravens start at the Bengal 46
Flag.
Baltimore isn't this good -- Cincinnati is just this bad.
* David Jones' return is questionable with a hit to the head.
Stover misses a 46 FG attempt, wide left.
Palmer, apparently, is looking for Ocho Cinco, but doesn't see him on the field, only C. Johnson.
Suggs just erases Perry. 3&13
FLAG -- delay. This team is terrible. Just terrible. T.J. gets his first catch, back to the original line of scrimmage.
No throws to Ocho Cinco.
Two first downs. Five punts.
Johnathan Joseph another PBU.
Great special teams tackle by Yamon Figurs
Chad Ocho Cinco was hit hard trying to make a tackle after Perry's fumble and he looks to be dragging that left shoulder.
HOW DO YOU NOT CHALLENGE THAT PLAY?
It's close, but you have one timeout, it's within a touchdown there's 2:37 left in the half. Why not challenge?
And then John Thornton with a facemask penalty on a stopped run.
This season is over.
Two minute warning after a 10-yard run by Ray Rice makes it 1st&goal.
Really, there's no reason for the next 15 games.
Couldn't tell from here if Dhani Jones backed it up or Heap dropped it. I think he may have dropped it. That's the third huge drop by the Ravens this game.
The line for the press box crab cakes, reportedly is already long.
First pass to Chad Whatever, and it's another PI on McAlister, his second.
Second one was on a free pressure from the Ravens' defense. No pickup.
Palmer is hit on every single pass attempt. Except that one. Complete to T.J.
Spike.
Nevermind on the crapcake line, Chick Ludwig got his already. Amazing.
Somehow with people all over him, PAlmer got a pass off to Watson for 3.
3&7 with :35 seconds left.
Palmer complete to Utecht for 2.
FG attempt. Ravens take a time out.
The Ravens had to take it because they had a guy on the field running off, otherwise they were going to flagged.
43 attempt. Wind blowing in his face.
Ravens 10, Bengals 3
Halftime.


2 Sacks 8 hurries, this is insane, where are we gonna find an entire offensive line to replace this group of losers..good lord
