The Days of us losing to a weaker team are behind us people. Cam had a talk with the higher up so this should be a cake walk.

[FerrariFan87]

Yeah, Mr. Bisciotti will not stand for another 50-pass game or loss to an inferior team... and any loss going forward would be to an inferior team. It's time to handle our business, win this division, and get at least one Home game in the playoffs.

Go Eagles and Chiefs!!

If we handle our business we are the top seed in the AFC, a bye in the playoffs and home playoff games

.....if we can do that the chances of a SuperBowl run are very good

As much as I hate to say it, our defense with out Ray is not that bad.

I say rest him for the browns. I would rather have him ready for Indy and San Diego.

Ray seems to always make big plays against San Diego.

That last play a few years ago was awesome.

I'm watching Cleveland and Cincinnati playing now. It wouldn't hurt if the Browns beat the Bengals to help our playoff chances. [b]WE[/b] can't have a letdown next week. The Browns are beatable.

Yeah, would be nice if they would but the Browns can't do anything right. Just missed a game winning field goal

[Ravenseconbeast]

We BETTER have a SOLID gameplan against these guys. If we were to lose to browns, i'd FLIP!

Their defense is not bad. Front 4 is pretty strong and so is their secondary, plus D'Qwell Jackson at LB. Lot of good players there. Still, I think we should dominate

[Alexir]

Had a couple of days of rest and will be off to Cleveland. We cannot take this team lightly. I swear if I hear anyone on their radio shows saying how this won't be a contest like they did about Seattle (art jones, Terrance cody) I will go nuts.

5 games left and all of them are within Conference and 3 of them are within division. We cannot afford to lose a single one if we want home field advantage...

Keys to Victory:
1. Stop Hillis
2. Don't turn the ball over
3.Run the football

[K-Dog]

...score the most points.

That's it... as Sizzle would say: "feed the beast"

[cursona pirate]

Yeah just run the ball and throw when we have too.
Dfence play like last week

[UMDan]

I saw some of the Browns/Bengals game today, and I was most impressed by the Browns red zone defense. We need to be able to score TDs in the end zone against them.

There are no cake walks in the the NFL, remember the phrase "Any Given Sunday". The Ravens have yet to prove that losing to weaker teams are behind them and Cam has to stop attempting to make the Ravens strickly a pass first team. Hopfully he will no longer put in run plays designed to fail just so he can experiment in the air.

Remember the only Jacksonvill screen that worked so well in the first half that he did not run another the entire game? Find it interesting that he never takes the same approach with passing attempts? I will not be surprised to see that ego raise its head at some point in the future.

[Neal Could Block the SUN!!]

Hillis had one good game against us last year and then got shut down

Cribs & Little not a concern


Cam calling an end around on the first possesion....................

This scares the h3ll outta me[img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/tombstone.gif[/img]

[Twistidfunk]

The Brownies have a knack for shooting themselves in the foot it seems.

I don't think Harbs will allow Cam to remove Ray Rice from the football game anymore. There is enough eveidence showing that is a failed game plan.

I expect more offense similar to the 49ers game which really played very well. I heard a radio show here in NY where Boomer Esiason and the other guy Carton thought the Ravens offense was bad. I disagree. We moved the ball and converted 3rd downs. Got in the red zone a few times. Poor playcalling killed us there. We should have had more than 16 points but we held the ball and made plays when we needed to.

The defense played their butts off. It just shows how fast we can be when Pagano is being aggressive. The players feed off of that and he needs to keep it up. Is Colt McCoy going to beat us with pressure in his face? He is quick with his feet as evidence to beating the Pats last season but we have fast linebackers and guys off the edge in Suggs and Johnson-certainly quicker than the Pats defense. He is accurate but I don't think our secondary will allow him to throw all over us. Webb is playing lights out. Jimmy and Cary are solid in coverage for the most part. The Browns might hit a few big plays (I am looking at you Cary Williams) but I don't think they sniff the end zone this game.

As for Hillis? I really am not worried. Our run stuffers up front have been stout all season minus the Seahawk game. I attribute that more to lack of pressure throughout the game though. That and an over confident T. Cody....tsk tsk Cody.

Ray Lewis - I would like him back. He is a football player and the heart and sould of the Ravens defense. We are a better team when he is out there but if he needs to take more time so be it. I think they handled Lee very well and he looks to be healthy so if Ray needs to miss a Browns game, so be it....just better come back for the Colts cause I am going to that game lol!

Seattle had that knack too.

But the Browns have issues with stopping the run. They are often lost in their assignments. San Fran I thought we should pass more than run. The Browns we should just run. We should run the ball 75% of the time. They really won't have an answer for Rice.

Agreed... we need at least a 60/40 split run/pass next week. The play-action to Q, Smith, Evans and our TEs will be there.

[Chris Carter]

Browns played Cincy tough on Sunday. Hopefully Ravens can get the victory and start winning against the teams they SHOULD beat.

[Rinbee]

I hope the players and coaches watched the Clev/Cinn game. The Browns did play like they wanted to win and very well could have. This is not a cakewalk, Ravens! Also, Ravens, don't lose sight of what allowed you to win two tough games against Cinn and SF -- stick with the run no matter what to open the passing. Cam has had a tendency to go Mr. Hyde and depart from winning game plans. Also, Chuck has to be ready for Hillis. No question the Ravens can win this game as long as they take it as seriously as the last two games.

Hillis is a non-factor. He's too busy worrying about the big contract he thinks he's going to get so he can pull a CJ0K and never have to do anything again.

Colt McCoy's pretty bad too, but we've struggled against some scrubs (Jackson and Hasselbeck are ALMOST average starters, Gabbert is a joke) this season. We have to treat the Browns like the Steelers/Niners and just attack them, on offense and defense, for the entire game. If we play like we did against Pittsburgh and San Fran we blow them out big time.

Their D, on the other hand, is pretty damn good. Just a shame that their offense is too inept to take advantage.

[JacktheRaven]

There are only 2 reasons we lost in Seattle. Billy C. & D. Reed. Team did not have a letdown or any other silly reason. If we fumble 2 kickoffs, and miss 2 FG's in any game, we'll lose

[Dfence4champs2052]

Like it was said earlier, the browns have scored one first quarter touchdown this year (against the Bengals lol). They simple struggle to score points. The only challenge I see it McCoy can run with the ball because he damn sure won't have time in the pocket. We need to contain the little twerp and we win the game.

[Dfence4champs2052]

Other than the Steelers Game we don't have that signature blow out the other "elite" or at least 8-win teams have. We need that this week from the Browns game. Let's go....sure up the resume.

[FerrariFan87]

Flacco was #2 in Total QBR this week (ESPN's QB Rating system), behind only Tom Brady... not bad, huh?

We need more of those types of games, especially on the Road this Sunday against another weak team.

We did beat St. Louis 37-7, but I agree with the point you're making.

They blew out the Rams, as was pointed out, and their 34-17 game against the Jets probably qualifies as a blowout. I don't think they'v had any since though...
