Predictions four games in? (2018)
-
Looks like you are NOT one of the fans who think this team could potentially be 4-0 right now.
But sure, let's just blame Hue for everything that has gone against this team to start the season out ?
Good news for Baker this week, its a home game AND the defense can't be much worse than it was last week.
This is a bad, bad match up for us. Ravens have pretty much the best defense in the league, they get their best corner back in Jimmy Smith, and their defense is giving up the fewest yards per play. Btw, Ravens have given up 9 second half points ALL YEAR.
YO.

I know the Ravens are looking like the top dog in the North this year. And their defense is always legit. Basically every year.
I told a buddy before the Saints game “Do NOT expect to win this game” and we almost did.
The defense might be back in business this week. They match up a lot better against the run... I would hope
And random fact, Ratley is the number 4 on depth chart on Madden with better speed rating then Callaway and he is 6’3...And I sh”* you not, it says Peppers has a “0” kick return rating, which is a glitch or intentional.. LOL

The Saints were a very tough match up, and you're right, we played well. I guess what bothers me is that we needed a stop and couldn't get it. Sound familiar? Our defense matches up decently against Ravens, but I expect this to be a game where we punt a lot and our defense gets tired in the second half. Maybe we're down 7 in the first half and lose by 17. Something like that. Can we win? Of course. We can have a very solid game and pull it out, but I just don't see it. We're playing against a good team AND a bunch of rotten history. Tough opponents.
How do we win? We need a defensive touchdown and a monster game from Myles. We need steady pressure on Flacco and we must hold them to FG's. Last week against Oakland, the Raiders had 21 points off our 3 turnovers. We scored 10 points off our first NINE turnovers. That's a recipe for losing. We need to turn the ball over on defense, and then punch it in for 6. We get a defensive touchdown, force some turnovers and SCORE off them, and hold Ravens to FG's....we can win.
Don't be surprised to see a low scoring first half. The end of the 2nd quarter will be the witching hour. That is when we've historically given up a score and gone into half down on momentum (although we've done good this year).
The second half. This game will definitely come down to the second half.

I'll be so happy if you're right!!
OK, I'll break it down. I think there's a 90% we lose (bare with me). I believe the Ravens are the better team. I give them the edge in defense, offense (because we have a rookie QB, but it's CLOSE), and especially, ESPECIALLY special teams. I mean, we're a flat out dumpster fire on special teams, and the Ravens don't eff around.
But...BUT....we have a chance to win (I know I previously said we have no chance, but even I know there's always a prayer). I tell you one thing, we need to catch the darn ball. We also need to punch it in if/when we get to the red zone. No question. We won't win with FG attempts, promise. We also need to quash the turnovers on offense. Smart passes, catching the ball, recovering a fumble if we put it on the ground. All that needs to go our way.
What I'd really love? Another home victory. A home, DIVISION win. That would be two W's in a row, at home, and maybe...just maybe...start to develop a real homefield advantage. THAT would be cool. But am I expecting it? Sadly no. Whereas I believe we're better than last year, I don't think we're good enough to slay a giant. And make no mistake, the Ravens are a giant right now.

Were you around in the Muni days? or did they eat your tickets?
..We faced the same Mavens team that tie their cleats the same way we do twice every season. last, 27-10 at FE,Balt.1 sack us 2. Balt 0 turnovers us -4//////24-10 at Balt. 2 sacks us 3. Balt -2 turnovers, us -5 with 11 penalty's..No giant secret in the game plan here..

Exactly who have the Ravens beaten this year that makes you think they are a "giant"?
The Bills at home...? The Broncos at home...? The Steelers...? Who looked like CRAP on Sunday Night Football?
And don't forget, they got beat pretty bad at Cincy in Week 2.
I'm not saying it's a given we win, but you are seriously giving the Ravens too much credit IMHO. If we can do what the Bengals did then we should win the game.
Compared with Cincy, our offenses are close in yards, we are the better running team, they have scored more points but remember 2 1/2 of our games were with T.Taylor at QB. Baker is averaging over 10 points per quarter since he took over. Also, our D ranks better than Cincy in almost every category. My point is, if they beat them, no reason we can't.
I think our D can force Flacco into making mistakes, much like they did with Ben in week 1. I think our offense can score on them. Much like the last 4 weeks it is just about who makes less mistakes and who can make more plays.

They're a giant right now because they've given up nine points in the second half...ALL YEAR. That includes the "pretty bad loss" to the Bengals. WE gave up eight points in the last 1:45 in the 4th quarter, with the effing game on the line. And that was just last week. I'm pretty sure we did a similar thing against the Saints.
Soooooooo....yeah.
Nine points. Second half. *mic drop*

Hopefully the last blow out of the huge action regime. The rail, feathers and tar are all set. There's even room for peppers too. I'd more than love to see a Cleveland victory today. Probably not though. Now that we have a little talent it really shows how lacking we really are at HC. Bullwinkle could do better than hue.

I'm allowing myself to hope, which is both annoying and fun. Lol. I get that we are what our record says we are, but I'm not so sure we're a bad team anymore. I'm allowing myself to think what would happen if we won. If we got that statement victory. One win could seriously turn everything around. Man, that would be the shizz.

8-7-1 missing a wild card by half a game
-
Well, revisiting this thread I think I will just stick with my original vote of 1-4 wins. The coaches screwup of not just plowing Hyde into the endzone when we were 1st and 10 on the one has convinced me that our coaches are just plain stupid and will cause at least half of the losses all on their own. I thought we were a legitimate 7-8 win team this year, but divided by 2 that makes it around 4 wins at most. Throw in all the recent injuries and it remains right there.

So do the coaching changes (firing Hue and Hayley and their newly promoted replacements) increase or decrease the odds for those picking in the popular 5-8 slot? Or does the 1-4 slot look more appealing now?

I'm thinking my 4-12 prediction before the season is looking pretty good.
I think the Browns might have two more wins in them, to finish with a 4-11-1 record.

Did this poll in 2015 and 2017 (missed in 2016), and as per usual you can't always effectively judge a team only 4 games into a season because there is so much time left for change (for better or worse). Still, you can get a much better idea of where you think the season is headed than when you were relying only on preseason observations. So what does it look like from here?
Is this at last a real rebuilding season? Will flags and bounces start tipping games the Browns' way? Have the rookies going to find their footing even more in pro ball as the season developed?
Or is Lucy about to punk Charlie Brown *again* as the lights dim on a promising season?
Your call.
