  • 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.

    Brandon Stokley looks like the next man up.

    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.

    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...

    Rookie Marlon Brown (6-5, 205) will step up. He's a better WR than Jones.

  • 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 😛

  • Why y'all are afraid of "zed" is beyond me...

  • Looking forward to seeing how Norv and Chud adjust the gameplan offensively this week. As some have stated Trent has to get more touches. No matter how you feel about the guy, he's our best offensive weapon going into Sunday. There's no excuse to not get the ball in his hands 25-30 times. Defensively, I hope Horton adjusts to pressing the corners we he sends pressure. Even the best blitz is ineffective if guys stay wide open because of a soft zone. I'm looking to see that change and obviously providing Skrine help (even though he's beyond terrible).

    All in all, I can't forecast a browns win but I don't see it being 'ugly'. Ravens will go up two TD's, we'll score one late but won't have another chance to tie it.

    Ravens: 24

    Browns: 17

    Seems generous to me.. If I had some extra jingle I would grab that(6.5) with the shitbirds covering at home. Of course it will rise during the week. Raves have three days extra rest and a home crowd that will be going crazy with the world champs making their first appearance at home. it could get ugly.
