    Baltimore's home opener, coming off an absolutely humiliating loss on national TV, doesn't bode well for us. If we give Trent the ball 33 times, he may approach 90yds on the day, but one can only dream. We just don't have the talent, and the speed to match up with playoff quality teams. Sunday may get U G L Y

    Nothing is pointing in the Browns favor.

    I'm hoping the game plan consists of much more TRich than this past week. No matter the situation, Norv should be looking for no more than 35 passing attempts for Weeden, and at least 25 carries for Richardson.

    My fear... Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones and the deep ball. Skrine needs to step up or else he is going to look VERY bad against Flacco.

    Right now... I'm not seeing much of a shot at winning this game, but the offense can't play any worse... We'll see, it's only Monday.

    Go Browns!!!

    Jacoby Jones is out 4-6 weeks

    U G L Y would be an improvement....

    Jones is a decent return man, but is hardly the key to the game. Rookie Marlon Brown (6-5, 205) will step up. He's a better WR than Jones.

  • Wen have better receivers than they do.

    All they have is Flacco.

  • Hmmm.... let's see....

    *The Ravens are coming off of a humiliating loss last Thursday to Denver...

    *It is their home opener....

    *Tthey are unveiling their Super Bowl Champions banner....

    ....Unless there is a miracle or the front office finds a copy of Paul Brown's old playbook lying around, I'm not seeing it.

  • If we're going to win we'll need to shut down ray rice. I don't see Torri Smith posing too many problems for Haden, and their other WRs aren't that great. Obviously there's the Flacco factor, but I reckon we can shut their offense down quite well. Unfortunately, I think they'll be able to shut ours down even better.

    He's 48 years old. If Skrine can't cover him then then take him out back and shoot him on top of Cousin's corpse.

    Anybody calm down enough to start talking about next week?

    Hell yeah, The season is a marathon so suck it up and mentally move on. The old saying "Any given Sunday" applies to us and any NFL team. So don't bet your house against us or you might end up living under a bridge. GO BROWNS...

  • Brown is a UDFA. Sure, some can go on to be studs, but forgive me for not crapping myself. Is he markedly better than Gurley? Or Little?

  • Brown went in Thursday when Jones went down. Not saying stud... just saying solid... and IMO better than Jones.

    Which Little do you want me to compare him to? 😎 The one who plays better when Gordon is on the field or the one that played Sunday?

    Brown is better than Gurley.

    Brown is better than Gurley.

    The pertinent question is, can Buster Skrine actually shut someone down? Or at least compete, restrict them to 50 yards, and maybe only give away 1 penalty?!

    Given Brown's height, perhaps we'd see Haden covering him, with Skrine on Smith, to utilise his speed?

  • You know everone is talking about the Ravens being pissed about losing to the Broncos. You dont think the Browns are pissed?? Being pissed about losing does what 10 days later??? Nothing!!!!! The better team will win Sunday...

    Browns 24

    Ravens 17

  • "Utilise"??? Brit???

    I think you have to put Haden on the opponent's #1... and that easily is Smith.

    Skrine might actually have an easier time with the taller, less agile Brown than he did Hartline, who he made look like Biletnikoff.

  • Ravens #1 on dropping passes vs Brown's #2 in dropped passes. This could be an ugly game.

    "We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever.

  • Yes, I'm british. Hence my occasional 'misspelt' word 😛
