Ravens vs. Browns game thread

[McLovin]

Looks like Shaun Rogers is out. That can only help.

[Sports Guy]

It is raining right now..Not sure if it will be at game time or not but today is a very good day to run the ball.

I do want to see Flacco have a good game but the game plan must be to run it down their throats.

If the field is wet, do the Browns risk Cribbs with his bad ankle?

[PrivateO]

Jerome Harrison is also out for the Browns.

[The Epic]

Cribbs is in.

[Trojanman]

LB D'Qwell Jackson(former Terp) is out for the year. It sounds like he's done as a Brown from what Cleveland fans are saying.

[berto]

Anyone know of a working online stream for the game?

Flacco, throws off his back foot again, should've been picked on his first attempt.

[Tony-OH]

Flacco, throws off his back foot again, should've been picked on his first attempt.

Then the Browns rush three, he steps up and hits the check down receiver on 3rd and 13... Sweet...:rolleyestf:

[ccbird]

Then the Browns rush three, he steps up and hits the check down receiver on 3rd and 13... Sweet...:rolleyestf:

And with 8 dropping in coverage and he throws an Int what are you saying???

[Sports Guy]

Pretty horrible watching this horrible offensive team march down the field on our defense.

[Sports Guy]

Damn..Both Cody and Kruger are healthy and deactivated.

I read that Kruger is still having issues apparently with the playbook and things like that.

Not really sure why Cody isn't playing. The Ravens only have 3 DLineman active today, so why not have Cody in there? He practiced all week.

Just being extra cautious with him or is he struggling with the playbook as well?

[Tony-OH]

Pretty horrible watching this horrible offensive team march down the field on our defense.

Yeah, that wasn't fun, but i'm not worried about the Browns putting up too many points.

No none of the sites I have tried have worked yet.

[Tony-OH]

That should have been pass interfence...

[BaltimoreTerp]

Flacco should have had a nice reception to Boldin there. Too bad the refs can't call pass interference.

[Sports Guy]

That should have been pass interfence...

Yep...That was a nice throw by Flacco...Of course, it was off of play action because the Browns were worried about the run...That's just another reason why we need to establish the running game.

[justcompete]

Flacco well under throws Boldin who had 3 steps on DB deep down the right side. Could've been a TD.

I trust Flacco to throw 5 yard passes and hand off to a RB

[Tony-OH]

Flacco should have had a nice reception to Boldin there. Too bad the refs can't call pass interference.

Yeah, that was a nicely thrown ball...

[BaltimoreTerp]

Flacco well under throws Boldin who had 3 steps on DB deep down the right side. Could've been a TD.

:rolleyes: Really? Really?

[BaltimoreTerp]

I love when the fans start chanting "HEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAP" before the ball even gets to him :laughlol:

[Tony-OH]

Nice drive there... Joe looked very good on that drive, no doubt...

[Fist Bump]

Boldin for the TD!!! YES!!

[Sports Guy]

Beautiful drive!

[BaltimoreTerp]

Beautiful drive! Great TD pass there!

7-3 Ravens.

[Tony-OH]

I love when the fans start chanting "HEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAP" before the ball even gets to him :laughlol:

Yeah, it's funny that you always know where it's going with him...

[berto]

Touchdown!!!!!! The first of hopefully many between Flacco and Boldin.

[ccbird]

Well that should keep the fans from booing Flacco for at least 5 minutes. Amazing what happens when youre not in 3rd and long, the Oline gives you a clean pocket and you sprinkle in some play action.

[Fist Bump]

Anybody else have Comcast? The CBS HD channel has been having issues with the signal the past 2 Sundays for me. Anyone else having the same issue?

[Sports Guy]

Well that should keep the fans from booing Flacco for at least 5 minutes. Amazing what happens when youre not in 3rd and long, the Oline gives you a clean pocket and you sprinkle in some play action.
..and when your WR gives you seperation and when you, as the QB, have good mechanics.

[ccbird]

anybody having any success watching the game online?

Hmm. I caught some games online the last few weeks on those sites. Suprised they aren't working.

[Tony-OH]

Stop making excuses.. Flacco sucked on the first drive, then looked great on the second drive. Let's hope that second drive was not like the first drive of the second half of last game where it was his only good drive... Easy on the I told you so kind of stuff...

[justcompete]

:rolleyes: Really? Really?

Yes sir,
Here is my DVR Replay

Rice Breaks a 22 yard run, starting right, heads back to the left

Next play Flacco drops back deep, 8 step drops. Line gives him plenty of time.
Boldin is forced to slow down at the 22 yard line allowing the Corner to catch up and makes contact, becasue Boldin slows down.

The DB has the same right for the ball.
Safety is beat, a longer pass hits Boldin in stride at the 13-14 yard line.

To his credit, the Flacco TD pass is crisp and put where only the receiver could catch it.

[BaltimoreTerp]

I figured you would like the "Everyone else was good so it made him look good argument." :p

[glorydays]

In other positive news for Flacco - he is no longer the lone leader in interceptions thrown as Eli Manning has 2 already today giving him 6 on the year. Way to go Joe!

[ccbird]

Very valid "excuses".

Safety is beat, a longer pass hits Boldin in stride at the 13-14 yard line.

Problem is, you're now looking for something no other NFL quarterback would give you on a regular basis. Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers...all would have been just as likely to slightly under-throw that pass as hit a receiver perfectly in-stride that far down the field.

Of course, since throwing it farther continues to decrease the accuracy and increase the risk of overthrow, and if you trust your receiver you believe they can keep the DB from getting that ball, most of those guys would have WANTED to throw a pass like that to a guy like Boldin.

Unfortunately the interference that prevented him from making a clean catch wasn't called.

[Tony-OH]

I figured you would like the "Everyone else was good so it made him look good argument." :p

Nope, I'm all about giving credit where credit is do.

[Fist Bump]

I don't expect this challenge to be successful.

The throws wasn't perfect but it was a catchable ball had Boldin not been interfered with. Considering the length of the throw it was pretty good..

[Tony-OH]

Webb was too far away from Cribbs on that play...

[Tony-OH]

I don't expect this challenge to be successful.

Should have been, that was a terrible spot.

[Fist Bump]

Should have been, that was a terrible spot.

It was a terrible spot but it seems that they rarely get corrected on challenges.

[BaltimoreTerp]

Anyone else depressed that Delhomme isn't playing right now? Wallace can at least run away from trouble a bit. With this line Cleveland has to play with (what arena league did they dig Tony Pashos out of?) the Ravens would have two picks and a fumble against Jake.

[Tony-OH]

It was a terrible spot but it seems that they rarely get corrected on challenges.

Yeah, I agree. That one angle though clearly showed the ball was short of where they spotted the ball.

[Tony-OH]

Has McGahee got more than three yards on any carry this year so far?

[Fist Bump]

Boldin is fun to watch! I am so glad he is a Raven!!

[Tony-OH]

Oher missed that block badly on the trick play.

[Tony-OH]

Boldin is getting seriously open...Nice throw by joe

[Tony-OH]

Boldin day!! Sweet....He's so open I could throw to him ...

[square634]

Eric Wright looks very confused. Bad plan for the Browns to put him in one-on-one coverage.

[Sports Guy]

Steelers will be going 3-0 it looks like.

[Tony-OH]

Steelers will be going 3-0 it looks like.

The Bucs secondary is horrid...

[Tony-OH]

What is up with the Ravens and big running backs? This is ridiculous.. Ravens d better put their big boy pants on make some damn tackles. this reminds me when Jacobs punked them.

[Sports Guy]

Ravens D not looking all that great today.

And Hillis may wear down the front line..As I said, only 3 Dlineman active today.

[Tony-OH]

This team needs a damn pass rusher. You can't keep giving a guy 10 second to pass the ball.

[Tony-OH]

Ravens D not looking all that great today.

And Hillis may wear down the front line..As I said, only 3 Dlineman active today.

With Kindle out and Cody haven't played yet, our last draft is not paying off at all yet.

[Sports Guy]

This team needs a damn pass rusher. You can't keep giving a guy 10 second to pass the ball.

Kruger looked good in the preseason but it is apparent that right now that they have no confidence in him.

The pass rushing coach they have now hasn't done much.

As good as the Ravens D has been this year, they haven't forced any turnovers(Shonn Greene ran into his own guy and fumbled) and they aren't getting to the QB.

[ccbird]

Ugh. D just getting the ball rammed down there throat. As long as they continue to keep teams out of the endzone it's tolerable.

[BaltimoreTerp]

Harbaugh needs to go have a talk with his defense in the locker room. Remind them that this isn't college, and we aren't playing a "tune-up" against the Omaha Nighthawks or Tampa Bay Storm. It's more like Alabama playing Mississippi State: they might be an inferior team, but they are in the same conference and can still beat you.

By the way, I'm updating my earlier statement about Delhomme to three picks, two fumbles and Wallace warming up on the sideline ready to come in for the second half.

[Tony-OH]

Hillis just punking the Ravens D. they shoud beashamed of themselves...

[Sports Guy]

Ugh. D just getting the ball rammed down there throat. As long as they continue to keep teams out of the endzone it's tolerable.
But they won't continue to do that if teams are running it down their throats. Their run D, both last year and thus far this year, isn't what it used to be.

Its still one of the better run D's in the league and most teams won't run well on them but its just not as good as it was.

[Tony-OH]

The Ravens D did not show up today so far. Pretty embarrasing effort so far...

[ccbird]

Wow. Is there any question they are getting a TD here. If the D doesn't get there act together this is going to be a game. They've dominated the TOP.

[Sports Guy]

Cleveland O-line is dominating the Ravens D-Line today.

Ravens are going to have to make sure they run the ball well in the second half to eat up some clock and rest the thin Dline.

[Tony-OH]

Every Raven on D should give their paychecks to charity this week. They should be ashamed to give up 10 points in a half to the freakin Seneca Wallace led Browns.

They just got punched in the face. This team can't put a complete game together. It's either the offense or the defense sucking up. Ray is playing like a 35-year old MLB. Maybe there was a victory party last night that they held before the game...They certainly did not show up. Embarrassing...

[ccbird]

Need a big stop coming out halftime. Get the momentum back. I get the feeling that possesion is going to determine if this ends up being a game that goes down to the wire or not.

[OregonBird]

Defense is embarrassing. Seneca Wallace? Peyton Hillis? Are you kidding me?

[Sports Guy]

I would have said Cleveland wouldn't get 200 yards all game...they almost got that in the first half.

Ravens need to look at the tapes and see what they are doing wrong. The front 7 looks very poor today.

[gallden]

Ed Reed almost looks like Eddie Murray.

[Tony-OH]

I would have said Cleveland wouldn't get 200 yards all game...they almost got that in the first half.

Ravens need to look at the tapes and see what they are doing wrong. The front 7 looks very poor today.

Not just the front seven, the linebackers, including Ray are getting blocked out of plays. Regardless, they are being embarrassed. Hillis and Wallace. Really?

[Sports Guy]

Not just the front seven, the linebackers, including Ray are getting blocked out of plays. Regardless, they are being embarrassed. Hillis and Wallace. Really?

I could see Hillis having a little bit of a game today because of his size and the Browns do have a good Oline..plus, the Ravens are thin on the Dline. But when I say a little bit of a game, I am talking 70ish total yards..nothing great but something.

And I could see Wallace making a few plays with his legs but nothing like they are doing.

The Ravens defense is almost playing like they have already won this game and the game plan is to just sit back and wait for Clev to screw up.

[Sports Guy]

They are really targeting the Ravens LBers in pass coverage.

[flashjordnk]

Flacco's mechanics look much improved. Stepping into throws. Glad to see him bouncing back.

Also...play calling isn't hurting. Most of those big plays are coming off play action.

[Sports Guy]

Still only 10 carries today.

We need a clock sustaining drive...Run the ball!!!!

[Oriolesfan1988]

Still really passing on 3rd and 2 =/

[flashjordnk]

OMG. I don't think the Ravens remember that running is a real option on 3rd down.

Play action. Anything!

The play calling is why we're not getting any TOP. Sheesh.

[Sports Guy]

You get 8 yards on your first 2 carries, have third and short and then throw the ball?

They should continue to run the ball down their throats!

God, this is so annoying.

[The Epic]

Rice has 6 yards/carry...but we pass on third and 2. Hm.

[Sports Guy]

Come on D...Force a damn TO!

[flashjordnk]

A little pressure on Wallace. He's staying in the pocket.

Good to see Ngata getting up the field after him. I saw him pull up at least 3 times because they seemed worried about a scramble. But Wallace seems determined to throw. Even to his detriment a bit. And he doesn't throw well under pressure based on what I've seen. Get in his face.

Though the lack of pass rush looked more on purpose in the first half, now they are getting after it hopefully.

[Sports Guy]

That was incredibly moronic by Mason.

[Sports Guy]

What an awful game plan by Cameron again today.

[flashjordnk]

That was incredibly moronic by Mason.

For a team that has been undisciplined in past years I've thought they've been well coached.

Undisciplined and poor coaching adjustments makes both kind of inexcusable.

[Fist Bump]

Nice punt!!

[Sports Guy]

I know that the Browns have had the ball a lot but part of that is because Cameron isn't calling running plays.

The Browns are dominating this game up front(offensively) and we have 13 damn runs today.

Freaking pathetic.

Defense looks poor up front and the play calling is horrid.

[eastonguy]

We're going to lose. I hope we start running more.

[flashjordnk]

It still looks like the Browns are holding on the seal from the outside.

That big rush had Ngata being pushed in the back. Watson tackled a guy in the backfield on that one.

Either way Ravens are getting demolished at the point of attack.

[Sports Guy]

Embarrassing.

[OregonBird]

Someone needs to tell these guys that their name isn't on the Lombardi trophy yet.

Thus far through week 3 the Ravens look like a third place team in the division.

[Tony-OH]

Apparently the Ravens are completely overrated. What a dog of a perfromance all around. Can't run, can't throw in the second half. And the defense has been getting punched in the mouth all day.

Let's face it, give credit where credit is due, the Browsn are dominating the Ravens on all aspects.

What abunch of girls. Super Bowl my ass. This team will be lucky to make the playoffs. Under performing bunch of wusses.

[Fist Bump]

Boldin!!! Can we just throw to Boldin every play!! :D

[eastonguy]

They are fighting? What happened?

[Fist Bump]

WTF!!! No penalty against the Brown!!

[BaltimoreTerp]

Anyone that wants to question a Ravens fan's insistence that the officials are against them needs to watch that play.

What a god damn embarrassment for the officials that they only called against Oher.

[Fist Bump]

What a day for Boldin!!! 3 TDs!!

[BaltimoreTerp]

Hell yeah! Screw you refs! Screw you Cleveland! 21-17!

[Sports Guy]

Boldin is dominating Wright.

[The Epic]

Geez, can this entire team show up at once? Just ONCE?!?

[Sports Guy]

Geez, can this entire team show up at once? Just ONCE?!?

Well, the good thing is we know the defense is very good. Every good defense has a few bad games every year. Now, they need to stop Cleveland.

[berto]

Anquan Boldin is simply amazing.

[Sports Guy]

The ST have done a great job of containing Cribbs...Its amazing that he has done nothing and this is still a game.

[Sports Guy]

Well, that helps.

[eastonguy]

Rice is injured?

[BaltimoreTerp]

Time to run the ball down the Cleveland Mankinis' throats.

[BaltimoreTerp]

So you can jump on the receivers' back now to prevent a catch? Good to know :rolleyes:

[BaltimoreTerp]

Keep running, guys.

[The Epic]

Heh...both of the wins have ended on boneheaded plays by the other team.

[glorydays]

Winning = No one except Terp has anything to say.

Losing = :angryfire: :eektf: :(:eek: :rolleyestf: :vader: :ohlord: :down: :puke:

[berto]

Wasn't the prettiest win, but i'll certainly take it. A lot to work on though.

[Tony-OH]

I'll take the win and it was good to see Flacco look better, but that was not a very impressive effort overall until the 4th quarter.

[Sports Guy]

Well, the defense had a poor game and that's disappointing.

However, you have to assume that the defense will be fine and that this is just an off game, as teams will have.

Flacco won the game today.

[ccbird]

Winning = No one except Terp has anything to say.

Losing = :angryfire: :eektf: :(:eek: :rolleyestf: :vader: :ohlord: :down: :puke:

Haha. There willl be a lot less posts in the Ravens section this week. Thats always a good thing though.

[Sports Guy]

Wonder what the status for Pryce and Redding will be next week?

[The Epic]

Wonder what the status for Pryce and Redding will be next week?

Either way, you know what the status for Cody will be.

[Oriolesfan1988]

Knee Sprain for rice team will get MRI.

No nothing ligament wise or cartilage damage for ray rice per harbaugh

[BaltimoreTerp]

24-17 final.

Flacco had a great game against a questionable Cleveland secondary, as was suggested earlier this week. Now he needs a repeat performance against the Hair-Flowin' Samoan and the Steelers.

I'm hoping the Ravens were trying to get Flacco going, because they didn't run enough. This is still a team built to run, and if the Ravens want to beat Pittsburgh they will need to do much more of that.

It feels like the defensive struggles can be chalked up to a bad game. But if I am Greg Mattison, I am making sure that the defensive players know they can't sleepwalk through inferior teams if they want to be ready to beat the good ones.

The Ravens had eight penalties, which isn't bad. It definitely feels as though they have cut down on dumb decisions overall, though Zbikowski should be reprimanded for his play.

I still think if Delhomme had played this game wouldn't have been nearly this close. Wallace managed to do some good scrambling, and Hillis looks like a keeper as a running back. Cleveland might have something with Harrison and Hillis.

I like the Ravens' chances against Pittsburgh. The defense is far better than Tampa Bay's, and Batch still threw two picks. Baltimore just needs to run the ball and help put Flacco in the position to make good decisions, and I think we have a tie at the top of the North standings.

[Stevo5278]

Wonder what the status for Pryce and Redding will be next week?

Who cares? Neither of them have bothered to show up and bring any kind of a pass rush so far this year.

[Sports Guy]

Who cares? Neither of them have bothered to show up and bring any kind of a pass rush so far this year.

You need depth vs Pitt up front, that's why.

[Devo12]

Hopefully Mt. Cody plays next week. I think he would be a big boost to the run defense.

I'd also like to see Josh Wilson start returning kick offs. Parmalele is solid, but there is the potential for 6 points, if Josh Wilson is back there. I feel like 30 yards or so is usually the max with Parmalele.

[ccbird]

Honeslty, I'm more worried about the front 7 than the secondary. I don't think anybody would have said that before the season started. Wahington, Webb, Washington, and Landry have played well. Zibby has been the only disappointment back there. However, the Dline is getting no pressure, we're being gashed in the running game and the linebackers are a shakey in pass coverage. Not good.

[Tony-OH]

Who cares? Neither of them have bothered to show up and bring any kind of a pass rush so far this year.

Boy you are not kidding. We may have the worse pass rushing DE's in football and they were not exactly stellar in run defense today.

Kruger's lack of development and Kindle's injury has really hurt the Raven's defense when it comes to the pass rush.

[Pedro Cerrano]

I thought Suggs was supposed to pressure the QB? That's why we gave him eleventy billion dollars right?

[Tony-OH]

I thought Suggs was supposed to pressure the QB? That's why we gave him eleventy billion dollars right?

Suggs continues to be a giant disappointment since that contract. He hasn't done much of anything this year and he's certainly not pressuring the QB. He has played nowhere near his contract's value.

[Sports Guy]

The defense has some worry spots:

1) LB pass coverage
2) Pass rush
3) Not forcing turnovers

Those are the 3 biggest issues.

Luckily, we should be getting guys back from the PUP list and some other recently injured guys that help us with this.

Gooden, Ayanbedejo, Cody, Reed and Kruger should make us a better defense in these areas...Cody because he will help tie up some Olineman to open up the pass rushers.

However, these things are an issue right now.

Also, the run defense isn't as good. I think part of that may be scheme but part of it is also inexperience at the LBer position. I think this is where you miss Bart Scott.

Either way, we need to get Cody on the field...We need to get Kruger out there on pass rushing situations.

And, we need Gaither back!

[Trojanman]

Boy you are not kidding. We may have the worse pass rushing DE's in football and they were not exactly stellar in run defense today.

Kruger's lack of development and Kindle's injury has really hurt the Raven's defense when it comes to the pass rush.

The problem is our D-line is built for the 3-4 defense. Our big DE's are not going to get much pressure. They're just not athletic or quick enough to get by an offensive tackle.

Gooden is very good on pass coverage.
We did not miss Scott last year I think we just need someone to take the position. For some reason they are trying to find one guy but last year on pass plays Gooden came in and run downs Ellerbe was in I do not know why they do not want to sub as much this year.

[Sports Guy]

We were 5th in the NFL in rush defense last year but we gave up around 96 yards a game..That's a lot for the Ravens.

Part of that was people not knowing assignments and not being in the right place at the right time. Scott was there for that. So, I do think his loss hurt us in some ways.

[Sports Guy]

So, it looks like Cody will be back next week..Just playing it safe...Im glad to hear that, as I was worried he was struggling with the playbook or something like that.

Also, it appears Pryce is ok.

[Jimbo81]

Turn overs have een our bread and butter for years. We currently have 1 turn over...

Not good, IMO.

[xKHx]

Well Scott was average at attacking the qb, average on run stopping, and a little below but closer to average on pass defense. With Gooden in we need a Cody type player up there blowing up the line along with Ngata.

We had better line play last year to me, Kelly and the dline are playing tired. Actually if you look at the season so far you have to say the secondary is playing really well LB's are average and Dline below. Hopefully with people coming back we can beef up in the trenches and sub more to get people less winded.

I hope so. I was just thinking while watching the game how unproductive the entire rookie draft class has been so far. I know it sounds like it, but I'm not knocking Ozzie here....it's not his fault the top two picks have yet to see the field due to bad luck (Kindle) and injury (Cody). But other than Reed's contributions on kick coverage, we haven't seen squat out of this year's rookies.
