Ravens Week: 2014 Part 1
-
Pettines press conference today was very telling. He was asked if the shanny and kubiak offenses were the same? He said that the running schemes and play action boots are very similar but the 3rd down passing is very different. He didnt say but plus I dont think kubiak runs the pistol. He also said the saint running success was by design because theyd rather give up the run than big plays to bress. so he sounded fairly confident in the run defense, but ill believe it when I see it.

Pettine challenged the fans to be loud this past week and I will say FE Stadium was the loudest I have ever heard it, now we need to knock the roof off the place and make it so loud their offense can't hear a thing Flacco is saying.
-
hmmm......I now see that the Sunday weather forecast looks pretty bad....80% chance of thunderstorms....could be a good old fashioned mud bowl.....
AND....The last four times that Baltiwhore played in Cleveland, Flacco did not put up good passing yardage....
2013 = 250 yds
2012 = 150 yds
2011 = 158 yds
2010 = 102 yds
So....his history here....plus a good rainy day.....makes for some smash mouth style running and defense.....
Originally, I had us winning 24-13........but if it's pouring rain and a messy muddy game....I'd adjust, but still give it to the Browns 17-10
-
I think the Browns will win. Especially at home. Unless Flacco gets one of his PI calls that he gets almost every game, I don't see them moving the ball very effectively against your defense.
I honestly don't know why Baltimore and Pittsburgh got so much love in the offseason. It's clear to me that the Bengals and Browns are the best two teams in the division now. I know you guys dropped the opener to the Steelers, but, I still don't think the Steelers will sniff better than 8-8.

Media outlets often lag behind the times. Yes, the Steelers were in 3 SBs since 2000, and yes the Ravens have won 2 SBs in the 2000s, so that deference to the teams that have been good lately is hard to get over. Yes, in fact, the Bengals have been the overall better team in the division for like the last 3-4 years. But they have not done anything in the postseason as have the Steelers and Ravens. So they are not getting respect.
Plus, yes, I agree that I think the Browns have about as much talent as any team in the division, but they are not going to be given any credit since they can't get past the 4-5 win level for the last 6 years. The natural assumption is that they will continue to lose to those other two who have had success. Of course, the burden of proof is on the Browns to show they aren't the same old losers. Not being able to pull the game out against the Steeler solidifies the image of the "can't win when the chips are down" belief. Pulling the game out against the Saints goes a little bit to overcoming that image.....but they ahve to keep it up.

It would have been hard though for any sports media outlet to have a sunny forecast on the upcoming Browns season given that we stink every year and, more importantly, had changed over our coaching staff again after 1 year.

So 80% chance of a game delay?
When was our last mud bowl? A soggy Heinz field??? Which was about every Sunday in the fall for its first few years.

There was that and there was Hoyer passing to Miles Austin, Hawkins and ???
They saw a passing attack that was not very good losing it's best weapon. Hoyer didn't make anyone's top-30 QB list. And nobody likes Haden nearly as much as Browns fans do.
All I wanted to see out of this season was progress. There's a good team here that I suspect will be better halfway through the season than we've seen so far. And so far, so good IMO,

This game is far more important than just getting a divisional win. This is our prove it game. We opened some eyes pulling one out from under the saints last week. Now we must prove that was more than just an aberration.
I feel very confident that we have the superior tAlent overall. To me this all rides on Pettine continuing the fantastic coaching he has done the past two weeks and Hoyer stepping up his game and making some of those throws he wishes he had back from last week.
We win this one we will be 2-1 and sitting pretty not only in the division but in the AFC itself. There are a ton of 1-1 teams at the moment. Let's be one of several teams who will be 2-1 come Sunday evening.
GO BROWNS!

More like the Goodell story, that they had tape and more info than they let on, then lied about it.....could be BIG trouble for Ozzie and/or Harbaugh......but lets wait and see what happens.....tick tick tick.....
