Game Thread -- Ravens v. Browns

[Corey]

If we win, I don't care.

[Firststater]

These plays are bland and unimaginative. Was there absolutely not practice this week by the Ravens. Joe is sleepwalking it seems, as he does for quarters at a time. If the Browns begin to apply pressure in the backfield this could become a very long, disappointing game. The whole offense during the 1st Qtr was lethargic, with penalties galore.

This was not a pretty 1st half. The Ravens are flat and Joe is off. The offensive line got beaten badly in the 2nd Qtr, which portends badly for Flacco. They must put this game in Rice's hands. When they finally went to Rice with screens and runs, the offense began to gel. Lets see how they use Rice in the 2nd Qtr.

Well this is exactly what I wasn't hoping for but deep inside I knew this would happen. The browns have to be feeling good about their chances. Time to serve a heavy dose of Rice in the second half. We get the ball first.

[LukeDaniel]

Once again, we seem to forget to hand the ball to Ray Rice. We are getting him touches...just not the way we should to control tempo.

[Maverick Hiker]

I don't want a grinder, I want the Ravens to put this team away in the third quarter. I think Harbaugh gets them straight at halftime, makes some adjustments. The Ravens barely missed some interceptions and I think they are going to get to this rookie QB in the 2nd half.

I think everyone is underestimating just how difficult it is for the Ravens to come back and play 4 days after a very physical and emotional game.

[RavensNest]

Browns are on the same schedule....

[Terpsfan82]

Well, I predicted a 21-16 Ravens win. Seems like we play down to the level of competition.

[hokiefan]

Run Rice. Dump off to Rice. Get some screens going. Joe has no time and the pocket is collapsing to quickly. Need to get the Brown's defense off balance. Why the heck can't Cam see this?

If they wan't to get to the Superbowl they better get thier "s t" together.

Your right.

I'm ready to name the night's MVP's so far...Oher and Cary Williams. Oh, MVP's for Cleveland that is.

Cary Williams shouldn't be on the field.

[Maverick Hiker]

The Browns got to rest Sunday night that is a slight advantage. But I still hope the Ravens put them away early in the 2nd half. We are a much better team and almost unbeatable at M+T. I'm hoping for a double digit lead by the end of the 3rd quarter.

Don't know what happened to the D letting Cleveland drive 90+ yards for a TD. This team should not be scoring TD's against the Ravens D, esp with a long field.

[Ravens27Girl]

Well, I said before that the Brown always play us tough but you guys thought it would be a slam dunk. When it comes to the inconsistency of the Ravens, there are no slam dunks with ANY team we play. Now let's hope they work out the kinks in the 2nd half.

[Sephy]

Offensive line has been dreadful.

[Corey]

Cary always plays for the other team, pick someone else. I nominate the rest of the OL.

Not really. They are not playing this game after having played until nearly midnight Sunday

They said the Ravens have tied a record for playing 4 games in the shortest period of time. Nobody wants to hear it, but it's a fact.

[RavensNest]

No, but they have to travel. Same schedule
