Weird Start to BAL-CINCY game

Tonight's game one of the MNF doubleheader, the Ravens have coughed the ball up 3 times already (in 8 minutes, the Ravens have fumbled the ball three times!!!), we have already seen Ocho Cinco catch a 39-yard TD catch (and pull out a jacket that says "Future Hall of Famer" on the back). Plus, Ray Lewis has sat the bench for a little while after hurting his elbow during Cincy's scoring drive, and committed a rare mistake, a penalty called on Lewis.
I just think that this game has been embarrassing so far (but, i'm not complaining at all, I hate the Ravens, but I also don't like the Bengals either). I have been laughing my ass off throughout this whole quarter. I mean, who fumbles the ball three times in half a quarter? Oh, I guess it's a Raven thing, huh? Well, I guess McNair and McGahee didn't get enough snaps during training camp, and the preseason. To add on to this embarrassment, Shayne Graham attempts a long FG, and misses by a mile on a short, line drive kick. Ed Reed attempts to return it, and on the return K Shayne Graham gets injured (unsure of how, or what he hurt). So, after Palmer and Johnson hook up for a 39 yard TD, the punter Kyle Larson attempts the XP, and it gets blocked. Though, Graham returned later, and gets a 23-yard FG.
The Ravens are probably wishing they could just go into the locker room for halftime, but it's only the end of the first quarter. I am hoping the Ravens will continue to do horribly (I'm a Steelers fan in case anyone was wondering). McNair does not look like the same McNair as last year, although it's only the first quarter of the first game. Both offenses have really been struggling so far tonight.
