its a loss in my eyes. 

I hate winning because of refs

Clearly we cant win on our own yeah?

Who says they even score a TD? That's a heck of an assumption to make

[robbie29]

Even an ugly win is still a win. These were the kind of close games that the Ravens never won last year. 2-0 this year is better than the 0-2 start last year. Still a heckuva lot of stuff to fix though.Even though it's Jacksonville, I'd expect Bortles and his receivers to give our D more trouble than McCown and Coleman. Good win though, Ravens. Keep em coming.

[PurpleHorseman]

Hello friends. My first post. Looking forward to meeting fellow ravens fans. Close call today. A sparring match for stiffer tests this season. Go Mike wallace?

Don't worry. The Browns fans figure out a way to be livid after every Browns game.

[Orange_Peanut]

not the greatest win but the Brown's first TD shouldn't have counted. A WIN is a WIN at the end of the day.

Wow, our defense actually has hands? Great. Thank you refs for that bad taunting call, lol.

The refs were really kind towards Baltimore today. I can't even criticize Browns fans if they blame the officials.

They can't hope for this kind of treatment against the other AFCN rivals though.

Browns were up 20-2 and couldn't continue their momentum. I won't lose any sleep over the way this game was won.

[bosso_fataka]

Ugly, but I'll take it. But wow, from time to time this team looks so clueless...

The Ravens deserved it. 25 unanswered is nothing to scoff at.

As is the case 100% of the time, fans always look for somebody or something else to blame instead of their own team.

I guess the fact that the Browns couldn't score any points for 3 quarters was purely because of the officials...

[kennethyamini1989]

That ref call puts the Ravens from about a 25% chance of reaching the playoffs to a 60% chance of reaching the playoffs being that they are 2-0

[balfan23]

I positively hate that the NFL is making such a point of legislating politeness and with the penalties having such devastating effects. I mean, if a guy flips the ball the wrong way twice he gets tossed? But then I can launch my helmet into a QBs face and take 15 yards and wait for the fine. 

So worried about "image". It is non sense. These guys are ripping at each others throat and the league expects them to not show any emotion? Just stupid.

Wow refs screwed them big time id be losing my mind if it were us. 

I'd be far more upset with our team failing to score any points whatsoever for 3 quarters.

Blaming the officials is lazy.

[Ravensuperfan1]

Great officiating by the refs. I'll give it up for the Zebra's they don't get enough credit

[Daft Classic]

This was 100% a game we would have lost last year. Refreshing to see luck actually go our way

You can't blame the officials for your team failing to score a single point for 3 quarters and blowing a 20-0 lead. Yes it was a BS call on Pryor but it's not as though it ruled out a game winning TD. Missed calls go on for both teams throughout an entire game, it's silly to blame a single call for your team losing.

I mean I get why they would think that, because our fanbase does the same thing. We still think the refs single-handily cost us a win against Jacksonville last year.

Its almost as if they feel they played a perfect game and they couldn't have done anything better.

[PurpleCity5]

2-0 is a good start. I hope we can clean up somethings on the defense. I hope Doom comes back for the Jags game, we need some pass rush. 

[balfan23]

I expected ugly .. really, I did - but the brand of ugly ... that was unexpected. No one is going to come away from this steaming pile of a game feeling good about the play of the team, you have to give some credit for not just going to pieces after starting off as flat as a pancake. 

[Jacquouille]

Boy I don't know how to feel about this one. First quarter was a misery in all aspects of the game, then the D showed why we believe in it, and the offense clicked. That last drive was really scary and it's weird to win this way but I'll take it.

 

Sidenote: Shareece, why the heck would give a 10 yards cushion when it's 4th and 2 with 28secs remaining? I've never been so mad

[codizzle]

2-0 

all that matters right now

Of course you would cause it cost your team the game!  It's happened to us many times so, we'll take that "W" and get the hell out of Cleveland.

Jaguars up next!!

Of course, I do it sometimes but then later on I reflect on the game and see how we cost ourselves (no matter which team or sport) the game. The Browns fans will hopefully do the same.

To be honest, if you take away the first quarter, we generally played pretty well on both sides of the ball. 

Its just the first quarter was so atrocious that its hard to ignore it, but we were clearly the better team for about 45 minutes today.

The pass rush was stellar today, I'd worry more about other parts of our game, like the running game or the secondary

In response to your side-note, I noticed that we did that a few times during the game. 

[ratedr]

2 close wins in a row. Such a reversal from last year...we absolutely lose both of these games last year.

It's payback for the NBA finals and giving LeBron a ring karma sucks Cleveland 

[Ravensuperfan1]

I still can't believe. I'm in shock. What are we going to do when we play the Raiders or the Jets?

When really they need to work on a way to NOT be livid. otherwise they spend their lives angry... Forever... Eternally livid... Neverending misery for browns fans.
