Week 14: BLT @ CLE on MNF... Is shit is about to get real? Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore(so)"...

Sucks we have to wait till Monday night to watch this. But glad we get a primetime slot.
Having watched the last 5 games of ours several times now(highlights mostly) I am more impressed with our secondary that I was at the time I watched the games live. Our first 6 games or so our defense seemed to be dependent upon nicely timed turnovers. Like the Eagles game where they were on the 5 yard line and he dropped the ball. Or the numerous strip sacks by Garret early in the year. But as of late, our secondary(without Ward mind you) have been stepping up. Lots of last minute tips of the ball to deny the receiver or a good hit.
With Garret back and in good form, combined with an energized Vernon and our secondary not sucking, I feel good about how we can at least contain their offense. After watching the highlights of the Dallas game, they are a far cry from the team we faced in game 1. It's like they stagnated and everyone else improved.. PLUS.. I noticed that Dallas did what the teams that were able to have limited success last season against the Rats.. And that was sealing the outside and forcing Jackson to run inside.. He burned Dallas on 1 play where nobody was shadowing him. But they seemed to keep him in check.. So I feel good about our defense being able to keep them from running away with it, it all comes down to our Run defense... And that is a weak spot for us. As well as short/medium routes. But we are getting better in my opinion. We are better than Dallas.. And Dallas did a decent job of containing their run game, save a few home runs..
Where we will win this game(yes that is my prediction) is on offense. Best way to keep Jackson off the field is to control the ball and the clock. And we are perfectly equipped to do this. I expect a return to form and that is the run first strategy. Expect a slow start as we work on wearing their line down. IF Jackson does his run thing(or the rookie running back), expect that Rat Birds will be quickly scoring on their side.. On our side we will run, pick them apart with short routes(like Dallas did effectively) and run the clock and wear their defensive front down. With Baltimore either scoring quickly or being forced to punt quickly, their Defense is going to have a long day with our FIRST RATED offensive line. We will man handle them in the trenches and force them to pull another man into the box. At which point Baker will be able to go over the top and keep the chains moving...
I am not nearly as afraid of this game as I was 5 or 6 weeks ago. I had this game as a solid LOSS for us going into the final stretch.. This is a very winnable game, even more so than last week. I think the Titans are a more formidable team and we picked them apart. Baltimore at this point is a shadow of the team we faced 10 or 11 weeks ago.

Not only that, but I feel like even if they beat the Cowboys, Ravens have had a bad losing streak, they have lost last 3 games, 4 of the last 5. Meanwhile, we have won 4 of last 5 games.
There is momentum in games, but also during seasons, and the Browns should be able to seize it.Not only that, but I feel like even if they beat the Cowboys, Ravens have had a bad losing streak, they have lost last 3 games, 4 of the last 5. Meanwhile, we have won 4 of last 5 games.

I don't LOVE this match up, especially if Ward isn't playing (not sure), but I do know we'll need to score 30+ to bring home a W.

Dez Bryant probably not playing (covid) levels the playing field there if Denzel still is out. Stefanski "hopeful" Ward can play MNF. Injury report not out yet...

Yeah, I know. I really think Ward's speed and potential play-making ability will be needed Monday. Lamar is actually throwing picks this year, and it's safe to say our secondary is an effing mess right now. We desperately need turnovers on defense because we have proven time and time again that we aren't great at getting people off the field. Heck, we've had several games where we didn't force a punt, and when you couple that with our poor 4th down conversions, it's not great.
I'm extremely interested to see if we've made up some ground on them or not. A part of me says yes, and another says not so fast. I also find it odd that we haven't really shit the bed during a game in a while. Virtually all teams lay eggs occasionally, yet we've been surprisingly resistant to doing so. I certainly hope we can keep it going because this is too fun.

Anyone remember the SNL skit 'Debbie Downer'?
We get a weekly 'Jittery Jiggins' skit on here during the leadup to every game. ?
"I know we play the Broadview Heights Girl Scout Troop this coming Sunday, but with our backup longsnapper out for the game, I'm just not feeling so sure about it..."

Before your time, but we had a real downer member here a few years ago...

Fucking hell I'm a huge Curb your Enthusiasm fan but I had no idea that the episode that woman was in was related to anything else. And yet I didn't need to know, to find it funny.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never seen an episode of 'Curb'.

It’s a real bummer the OSU vs Meatchicken game was canceled.
I was looking forward to see 2 Ohio teams beat both Harbaugh brothers in the same weekend.

Fresh Practice reports...
No improvement for any on yesterday's report. One new name added, Hooper.
As I thought three of yesterday's four DNP-NIs were back. The one exception, Campbell, is now plain, old DNP.
Ingram and Williams got the day off. Smith and Washington upgraded.
Injury reports add nothing of value.
