Going with the thread poster's wish for pessimism, negativity, I can say that we cannot win this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) The first 4-5 weeks of this season are about to be a *&!% show. No preseason games, no real hard practices , no chance to tune in the playbooks. I have a feeling we are going to watch some really really sloppy football for a few weeks. I would say the Ravens have the obvious advantage strictly from a familiarity perspective Edited September 9, 2020 by AkronsWitness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 I'll be honest, I'd like to see us slow the game down as much as possible, limit possessions, and really rely heavily on that ground and pound attack, regardless of the score in the first half. We should see a run/pass ratio of about 2/1 for a good majority of the game, with a lot of safe play-action passes to TE, outside WR on boots and designed rollouts with flood concepts, and perhaps take a few vertical shots to keep their safeties back and honest in the running game. Baker may very well light it up this year, but I'd play it safe against a team that is a legit Super Bowl contender with the reigning MVP who will likely carve up our already bad and now decimated defense, coming off of a short off-season, limited practice time, new coaching staff and scheme, and has the advantage of continuity going into this matchup, especially with us on the road. I want to see a close game in the second half and see how the chips fall from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see a close game in the second half and see how the chips fall from there. I agree in that I'd like to see us rely on the ground. But I wanna see some big, downfield passes off the PA. I think it's important to try to get some quick scoring drives off chunk plays, as that would put a lot of pressure on Lamar Jackson to beat us with his arm (not that he can't, but the Ravens are clearly a much better team with the dual threat). I think Marlon Humphrey is underrated but his strength is his physicality. I think OBJ could get him over the top a couple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cortes02 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Browns just need to play keep away from Lamar. Play a slow, grind it out, time eating offense (that scores TD's), hold on defense, and make the Ravens offense sit on the sidelines. Peace!!!

MWil23 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 I freaking hate the NFL and how they schedule things and the fact that no one has thrown an antitrust lawsuit at them yet. I have to watch the Bengals game due to local broadcast restrictions, unless I want to buy the NFL Sunday Ticket for several hundred dollars this year.

WHAT A JOKE I live north 45 mins north of Dayton in Fort Loramie. Have YoutubeTV and get local Dayton affiliate channels. Luckily there is a local cable company Nktelco that offers both Dayton and Lima Fox/CBS. I always have to head to friends house or the in-laws to watch the Browns as Lima always covers them. I know many Browns fans in the area only keep Nktelco to watch Browns games even when costs aren't competitive with the streaming services and or Spectrum. I'm surprised the NFL hasn't ditched the Sunday Ticket and offered there own streaming service similar to how MLB.TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I think we are in for a 35 - 40 carry game for our running game and take pressure off of Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
