NateDawg Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The 3-1 Baltimore Ravens travel to Cleveland to square off with the 1-2-1 Cleveland Browns. In an attempt to maintain civility, I would like to invite Ravens fan @Reginaldm9 to our forum to discuss the matchup for the week. Let's welcome him to to the forum and try to treat him with respect. I told myself I was done discussing the Browns for the night after getting a victory robbed from us earlier. It could only end with cynicism and negativity. But, someone has to muster up the courage to make a GDT in these hard times. Key Matchups: Browns vs. the referees Jabril Peppers vs. his lead-blockers Hue Jackson vs. signs of intelligent life and watching the tape Amos Jones vs. the hot seat Pass-'catchers' vs. Stick-um And, as always, Ray Lewis vs. the disappearing white suit If we can figure out how to beat Baltimore and the refs, we are back in the thick of the AFC North. This is a must-win. I have seen little justification for keeping Hue Jackson for quite sometime. A 1-3-1 start and distance from the rest of the Division would seem hard for anyone to defend further employment. Reasons for hope Baker Mayfield Myles Garrett 1 week closer to no more Hue Jackson My 3-year old sat and watched the end of the 4 hour game today. I tried explaining to him when it was heading to overtime that this was how Browns games historically go, and it was going to end in a loss. He mostly just kept the encouragement going with "Go Browns" and "I'm watchin' football." Still working on the vocabulary... If he has to grow up to watching black and white Browns highlights to see times of greatness (or even .500 seasons) though, I'm hoping he forges his own path. I fear he's already in too deep though. Once you dig that hole, it just gets deeper over time. Except for those who escaped into the Hall of Traitors (HOT). May this coming Sunday be that corner we turn. And if not, may it come with the next Head Coach, soon to come (enter, optimism). In all seriousness, this divisional game is huge and an opportunity to stay very much in the race, despite a ridiculous loss vs. the Raiders. Invite all your friends over here. Let's break bread and celebrate these exciting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistaBohmbastic Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I have high hopes, but maybe I shouldn't. This Ravens defense is a force. It's a significant step up from what the Browns faced against Oakland. The pass rush will be fierce, Baker's gonna have to be decisive, and we cannot afford as many costly mistakes as we made today. It'll be a great test for this Browns team. I'm worried about the defense. Losing Mitchell really hurt, the difference he made was clear. Watching Flacco air it out to John Brown tonight concerned me. I know the Ravens are gonna rack up some points. I hope we can keep up. I expect the Browns to come out extremely motivated, angry for redemption after this tough loss, but I don't know if it will be enough. Baker's gonna have to light it up. Despite the tougher defense he'll be facing, I think this was a great experience for him to grow and learn from his mistakes, and I think we'll see signs of improvement. Can't wait for Sunday. I need it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGK Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I picked other for the suck cocktail that is Hueball, Amos Jones, The Refs, Gregggggggg's inability to NOT blitz the house, more refs, and general incompetence on our part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Ron Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I'll be at this one for my first ever game. I've just been pleasantly surprised having looked at the weather report. I guess I'll leave my coat in the car at the airport here. Also, just so I'm not doing it wrong. I'm supposed to down jugs of cheap wine before the game right?

Going with the Over....we can't cover anyone that Ward isn't on. What's amazing is, the Raiders didn't have to adjust anything since we gave them everything they wanted....I had flashbacks of last year when I saw the Raiders on 3rd and 3 and we have a Safety 15 yards away.....I'm pretty sure they just threw it 4 yards and converted...but hey, we aren't letting teams get 20+ yards right? I don't think Gregg is great at math...if teams can easily get 5+ yards every down, eventually it equals the normal 80 yards they have to get after receiving the kick/punt.

MWil23 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 This is an absolutely perfect GDT. The 3 year old commentary is priceless. I'm still laughing. My 3 year old, when watching the Browns, was "rooting against the white team" and "Daddy, they lost" since Penn State had a "white out" the night before and our HS team wears ALL BLACK at home. Trying to help her with this basically resulted in me saying "Yep, we're watching the Browns". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a nice run we were on. So Browns of Mayfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
