The first half was a snoozer.

Second half was delightful.

We get, you know, a dramatic ending.

The Ravens beat the Bengals 3534.

Look Rob, can we put a fork in Cincinnati offensively, even without T Higgins you have a chance to win that game.

If you go for two, you won’t get it.

I didn’t like that.

Burrow said nothing to officials as he was punched in the face.

Um, about that two-point conversion, I didn’t like that.

There was clearly a defensive attitude before the pass was thrown on the two-point conversion.

I know it was far away from where Burrough was, going with the ball.

But what I did like was Al Michael flat out saying that too many games end like that, and he’s right: that was a ridiculous moment.

You can’t do that, I know people will say, oh, it wasn’t that bad.

It wasn’t that blatant, whatever.

It, it doesn’t matter.

The rules are the rules.

It was literally a play that determined the outcome of the game and you had, you know, hands on the face or hands on the head of the quarterback and you had defensive sticking to the exact same play, neither of which were called and all that, and it shifts, at least it shifts the possibility that the end of that game could have ended.

I think it must be frustrating for Burrough that you are as powerful as you are offensively.

You don’t get any breaks when the game is on the line and your defense is just straight up.

Terrible.

I don’t know, I don’t know how the Bengals are going to solve this defensively.

Maybe they should have added that at deadline.

Um, but I think you hope that Higgins comes back and you can score 40 points a game and maybe try to get enough wins.

Joe Burrow in two games against the Ravens this year has nine touchdowns, I believe, no interceptions and he’s, oh, and two against the Ravens.

What are we doing here?

I wonder what really happened to Lou Anna Romo’s defense.

I remember a few years ago we thought this guy was going to get a coaching job.

He’s a mastermind.

We talked about him like we’re talking about Spagnolo now, and it’s just gone.

Like the Bengals defense, they played well in the first half, I’ll give him that, and then they just fell apart again in the second half.

I think we need to talk about the phone calls.

We’re talking about a two-point conversion that goes from the two-yard line to the one-yard line, as if that’s even better than a 5050 play. If those calls are made, the Bengals will likely win that game.
