Next up : Cleveland Browns.

[January J]

I'm more pumped for this weekends game than I've been for a regular season game in a long time.

Going with my wife, brother and sister-in-law... And ready to see the start of our turn around.

Blackout with the breast cancer accessories is going to look badddddddd.... Something about the all black just makes us more scary.

Can't wait. Go Ravens!

have fun buddy, il be watching from home but I'm just as pumped.

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

not a Terrible idea. The Browns will be expecting us to ground and pound without Steve and co. So we may be able to catch them sleeping if we take some shots early.

I'm actually anticipating this. So much so that I picked Givens up and am starting him as my flex in my big money fantasy league. Go big or go home.

I expect them to get him involved early and often. 4-5 catches on 7 targets... And he gets a 30+ yd TD. After that the surprise will be gone and he'll be more quiet but it'll have done the trick and open the field up for Aiken, the TEs and run game to do serious damage.

Not a blowout, but a convincing ball control performance where we pounce early and then slowly squeeze the life out of them. 20-7 Ravens win.

Don't call it a come back... We've been here for years.

[BOLDnPurPnBlacK]

We'll need everyone doing their part... In the stadium, on your couch... Doesn't matter.

And thanks... We'll be good and tuned up for getting loud.

Question though - since they're wearing all black I've got to go black jersey too, but only have Torrey and Ray Lewis in black. Which should I rock?

I'll preface your decision by saying right before the turning point of the steelers game I took off my Flacco, got drunk and put on my Torrey. Then we won. Not saying it's the ONLY reason we won.... But it was probably like 33% of it.

I'm just glad there are a few optimists left. Seems like most ppl have thrown in the towel for this year.

My gut tells me go with Ray Lewis since we will be in the house he built. Plus we will be playing Torrey next week so just doesn't feel right. On the other hand, if Torrey got the job done last week then you may want to stay with the hot hand. Tough call. Out with Torrey in with givins. Can't go wrong with the blacked out 52.

[beanfigger]

I kind of see this playing out like the Titans game last year. Not crazy pretty at all, but never really in doubt. No big mistakes and just enough plays to win.

[Ravensfan23]

I think the mini bye will be huge for the team. I'm not willing to go as far as blow out but i think the Ravens finally put a complete game together. The offense will finally start early and the defense will be able to just hunt. The Browns always play the Ravens tough but i think this team comes out with an certain energy at home that the Browns just can't match. The 2 extra days of prep work will be great for both the offensive and defensive schemes and that extra time off will allow a Ravens team who entered the season banged up to play fast and fresh. I think the O and D lines will get back to dominating. Honestly the only thing that keeps me from calling this a blowout is the fact that the Browns always play the Ravens really tough.

I can agree with this. Difference is instead of me using "will be huge for the team," I'm using "CAN be huge." I seriously hoping we don't see more of the same. I still don't trust this defense to play a whole 60 minutes though. We'll see.

Will i did say I think lol. The Ravens are gonna have to do more then just beat the Browns to develop that trust honestly. But playing a full 60mins vs the Browns would be another nice stepping stone coming off the Steelers game. No matter how the Ravens win, they'll still be a 2-3 team. But if they can play like the team many felt would compete for a ring they'll be a dangerous 2-3.

Somehow im still shocked at the negativety by some people on here, there are some that you just expect them to think the sky is falling.  I just dont get the point of being negative, every game we are a score away from winning, i get the injuries have made it quite a bit harder, but if you jump ship now you dont deserve to be on it when we arrive in port at the big game, just imo

Maybe cause they saw the same lackluster performances in 2013 and we all know how that ended.

I haven't quit yet though

Lol I got that. For me, not only do they need to do more than just beat the Browns to gain trust, they need to do on a consistent basis week in, week out. For example, we shut the Browns' run game down yet Kaepernick and Hyde runs all over us.

I dont know if our team has ever been very consistent.  Our superbowl year i think the cowboys ran for almost 300 yards but other weeks shutdown rbs.  We have always had a problem beating teams we should, playing down to competition

[omar586]

we need to beat the brownies senseless to get on track.

[omar586]

i want see our WRs step up in this game, at least 1 of them breaks out, that will give me hope that we can have decent WR beside SSS.

[FlackAttack]

i honestly think this game comes down to the wire. we have too many key players injured and we already arent that good as is. if we just play sound football without turning the ball over we can squeeze out another sloppy win.

Ravens win 21-7. 0-0 at halftime.

[A Fish Called Yanda]

We're probably going to go down by multiple scores and then come back and potentially win the game.

 

Seems like thats an ongoing theme in our 2015 season.

[Ravenseconbeast]

I would like to see us score some TDs early in 1st half.

Past games we were playing desperate at the very last minute to score points.

Players are going to get hurt trying risky moves to save the game.

Score points early, kill time with run @ 2nd half and keep our players healthy.

[January J]

Maybe cause they saw the same lackluster performances in 2013 and we all know how that ended.

I haven't quit yet though

yeah, it ended one quarter away from making the playoffs. And we have much more talent than we did in 2013, just need to execute.

I could be wrong but I don't think we've scored first in any of the first 4 games. It's extremely important we get the jump on them early and then just suffocate them with the run game.

Who are the return men now?

Webb likes to fair catch at the 3

[757RavensFan]

Last Thursday vs the Steelers when we went up 7-3 in the 1st quarter, that was the first time this season we've had a lead in the first half. We need to do that again. We need to jump on CLE early and often to build momentum.  I'm hoping THIS is the game when all 3 phases play a complete and great game.
