OK, Im thinking you work for ticket master at this point.......
[/quote]

Nah, just like to see sell outs and a strong showing on national TV. And I'm just trying to make people aware, since I would die to know tickets are still available at face value for any game. The team usually does a pretty good announcing it, they haven't this time.

I'm still amazed that you can buy tickets on Ticketmaster for this game. I did a search for two tickets and saw 2 tickets, 9 rows from the field on the goalline.

I have a feeling the house is going to be a little empty tonight.

Two night games in the same week could do that. It's a little hard for a lot of people to get that much time off and to get sitters on a school night.

I still think the house will look pretty full.

Wow and I thought we had some doom and gloom fans. Take a look at the comments flowing from Cleveland on this article

I mean I know its Cleveland but try and have a little hope...okay maybe not.

Now if we were playing the Steelers tonight. Those tickets would've been gone in 5 minutes. But since it is the Browns, its a different story. I'm not complaining about being on Thursday Night football. But what a bad game selection.

Actually, I'm really thankful for it. Short week after a big win, likely victory, and then the long break. Works for me!

Gene Steratore will be our official tonight according to PFT.

[quote][color=#000000][font=Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif][size=4]The NFL has confirmed that Gene Steratore will work the Browns-Ravens game in Baltimore tonight, less than 24 hours after the officials and the NFL agreed to a new deal that sent the replacement refs who worked the first three weeks packing.[/size][/font][/color][/quote]

Also what is interesting is that Gene was the official who overturned the Calvin Johnson TD a couple years ago... oh boy.

Trap game

[CapoRocky]

I hope we win big by at least 20 points. Let's just pick a score--42 to 21.

As a fan I never take any game for granted. A few injuries, a few bad calls, anything can tip the scales into the opposite direction.

The Ravens have a great opportunity to win this game and go 3-1. Hopefully we execute and stay healthy.

[1/28/01]

Trap games are generally against teams that can at least kind of, sort of, partially, some what muster together football plays. Browns cannot!

All I want is our offense can make quick adjustment like run or pass has to be based on what offense they're giving and the personels on the field.

I hope Joe uses more Rice if he comes out abit flat and slow down the game by running more no huddle with Rice leading the way....

I'm getting a lot of Jacksonville flashbacks with the way some people are talking about this game.

[/quote]Funny enough I'm most confident when going against good teams since the team tends to play to the level of their opponent.

I find it hard to hand the team an automatic W in most situations.

I think this short amount of time to prepare themselves for the Browns works in favor of the Ravens. They don't have the time to celebrate their success. The iron is still red hot from that AFCCG rematch. It could also break the curse of Flacco not being able to consistently play at a ProBowl level. We all know he can and he certainly did often, but rarely in back to back games. I have a good feeling about this. It could be the start of something special.

Thursday night football sucks..

That's all I got

[descent into the maelstrom]

Cleveland isn't going to be the first team in a couple of years to beat us at home. At Kansas City next week is more of the type of game we lose. Happily, we have 10 days of recovery and prep for that.

I'll be giving a big "welcome back" to any ref that wanders near me tonight. Maybe if enough folks do that, they'll get warm fuzzy feelings about the Ravens and consciously or subconsciously overlook a few things.

I have a feeling they're going to try and test inside run defense on passing downs.

They did beat the Pats and Saints in 2010 and the Steelers in 2009...

Let's be honest though, every game against the Browns is a "trap game" and we've won 8 straight.

Good Lord. When was that picture taken?
[/quote]At the combine HAHA

[CapoRocky]

We will win because: (1) Weeden isn't all that good; (2) We are at home; (3) The defense will not give up as many yards this week; (4) The offense will keep scoring TDs; (5) It's the Browns and they stink!

[CharlesK]

Hopefully Cameron realizes now that bad things happen when Rice is not involved. Give Rice the football, let him run and make teams respect him first. Then establish the pass. Best way to do things. Ravens should beat Browns if they play like they are capable of.

[Cville-Raven]

We need to take care of business.

We're wearing black pants tonight....nice
