  • With the safeties playing that far off the LOS, that gave a lot of open real estate for the Rat's TE's to roam.

    Their OC exploited that big time.

    Safeties somewhat sort of defending the deep ball had no bearing on our LB's being completely incompetent yesterday.. TE's were open because LB's couldn't stay with, period.  Flacco was 17-17 when targeting the 3 Ravens TE's.

    Trolling I hope...

    Not trolling. Let's ignore the validity of him slowing down and take it as a hypothetical. What if he's absolutely terrible this year? Would you guys still not take a first and change for him?

    I'm not following your wierdness. Is this a buy low sell high thing? I don't fully understand what measureables go into a pff ranking, but he was top 5 in whatever those were.

    Every team gets their Cal Ripken, and you just deal with it and hope for the best when shit happens. 

    Bengals got Anthony Munoz. Reds got Barry Larkin. Yankees got Jeter. Lakers got Kobe. Yadda yadda...

    Like a wise and perverted man once said, just let it happen.

    LB CHRISTIAN KIRKSEY, 23.1 OVERALL, LB JAMIE COLLINS, 38.7 OVERALL AND LB JOE SCHOBERT, 40.7 OVERALL

    While the Browns secondary actually played fairly solid, and their defensive line was up and down, it was the inside linebacker trio of Kirksey, Collins and Schobert that really struggled for the Browns in this game. Flacco picked on them nearly exclusively in the pass game, working his receiver and tight end matchups any chance he could against them. The three combined to allowed 17 catches on 17 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown. They each missed a tackle and really struggled to escape blocks at the second level in the run game. None of them finished with a run defense grade above 40.0 on the game.

    I was yelling "pick play" quite a bit yesterday. Lots of crossing patterns, and contact while the ball was in the air....no offensive interference on the Ratbirds at all per the refs.

    I was too. There was one end zone play where they just went together, the other ratbird wr picked off the defender...

    touchdown. You let the Browns do that, they will call it every time. Seen this with the ratbirds and squealers often.

    Makes money for certain refs maybe. Something stinks.

    I can't help but think that hopefully, this will be highly unusual.    And that Gregg Williams will not be happy at all with this.

    OK... hypothetically... who offers a "first and change" for an "absolutely terrible" LT?

  • Slowdown year for Joe T. How long do y'all wanna do this loyalty bit again?

    I don't know. That's what makes it a hypothetical.

  • Britt:   107 out of 107.

    Well....on a positive note...it looks like he has no where to go but up.  Fair to say?

    Does this mean we are winning (like Rebecca from Cheers when told she is in the lead by her rich boyfriend)?
