Game winning kick with :02 in OT that knuckleballed over the crossbar...... so yea, just a bit stressful.

I daresay our kicking issues aren't over then, I've no idea how that went in!

Leg power!!!!!

Call just came in from the NFL office. They found an obscure rule that field goals like that should count for the opposition. It's referred to as "Goodell's will" rule.

I don't know if a Raven player got his hand on the ball of that field goal but in looking at the replay one of the Ravens did come busting through the line and looked like he could have. We were fortunate it wasn't outright blocked.

Anyone notice Hue waving the players off field to get the defense on as there were two seconds left......he hadn't realised it was OT and therefore, over

Our special teams just aren't special. Unless you mean special (near) useless.

Guess he's just not used to being in a winning position and clock management has never been his strength, or full knowledge of rule changes.

One of the commentators said it looked like they were offside but good luck getting that crew to the flag Baltimore for much of anything today. And that was a HOME game...

They did block a FG today in a game that ended tie in regulation fwiw.

Denzel Ward came up pretty BIG for this team today. The turnover he got us deep in our territory was pretty big too.

I did... but since I was thinking "there are 2 seconds left", I was not going to say anything... ?

Greg Joseph said they got a hand on the ball, he heard it clearly

So it was an "own goal"?

Haha no it was on target so just a “deflection” ?

Wait....what? What have you done with our Ghoolie? Lol

Anyway, if you're right it would totally make my weekend. My FSU Seminoles got completely butt-effed by the refs, which is similar to how my Browns lost last week. You can't make this stuff up. Noles executed perfect WR pass for a TD, but refs called double pass. Replay clearly shows the first pass was a lateral, but the refs told the coach, "It wasn't even close and we're not reviewing it." Noles then missed a FG, Canes scored on next drive, game over. I just sat there in complete disbelief.

So yeah. If our Brownies could just pull out a win today, it'd go a long way to dispel some of my football blues I have going on. I will say that I don't share your confidence. Ravens have the massive advantage in special teams, a solid advantage in defense, and they also have a crap-ton of history on their side.

But screw all that. I want this win worse than I've wanted one in a while. I want it for the fans, for the players, for our ownership, coaches, and everyone else associated with our team that had their heart ripped out last week in a loss that might've hurt worse than any other I can think of, and that's saying A LOT. I won't lie, I predicted a loss for our team, but I also can't shake the feeling that we're somehow due for a statement game. A "coming out party" of sorts. We've had our defense play great. We've had our offense play great. If we put together a complete game, it could be a magical day for us. However, all that being said, here's my official prediction:

Ravens - 31

Browns - 16

Ravens defense does what it normally does against rookies. Baker turns it over 3 times, but manages to move the ball somewhat effectively until stalling in the red zone. Flacco hits multiple deep balls, and Ravens special teams makes a giant play. Garrett does have 2 sacks, and continues his impressive season.

what was that score again ? oh wait you were fuking wrong again
