Really sucks that Yanda might not play, who would replace him? Jensen?

Jensen or Urschel.

Given that Urschel was active last week and Jensen wasn't, my money would be on Urschel. Would certainly think both would be active though.

Probably looking at an identical inactive list, just swapping out Jensen for Yanda. Doom, Gillmore, Shareece and Correa are all out already anyway. So five injured players, plus I would guess that Henry and Ducasse would be the other healthy scratches.

I think this is finally the game where we blow them out, we're so overdue for a comfortable win. Yeah this is a classic trap game, but I think we've got them on this one, they're just plain bad. My prediction is 31 - 10, nice comfortable game. It's over by halftime, second half we just run, run, and run some more.

So I can go to bed on time .

You wouldn't go to bed on time even if we were blowing them out. lol  No one would want to miss that since it happens so rarely.

Expect a close one. The Browns are desperate and Jackson was quoted saying they have to throw deep more. I'd bet that at least a couple of those deep passes work. This game also HEAVILY depends on whether or not our O-line shows up.

 

hoping to see Perriman warmup, Browns are down a starting CB.

Here's hoping it's a good, injury-free game!

Agree 100%  I really appreciate when opposing team's fans like yourself come in here and have good, respectable posts on this forum.  I am looking forward to a good game tonight.  I fully expect it to be a hard-fought close game, as these 2 teams always play each other tough.

Game day. Got my Ravens jersey on in an office full of Eagles fans. Definitely getting the jabs and spirited barbs in this morning... but all in good fun.

Browns wearing their all whites... they were better of in the all Browns so no one would be able to tell when their players crap their pants from the onslaught of purple coming at them.

Offense gets on track tonight even without Yanda. I'm wearing my Flacco jersey for the first time this season - so hes actually going to have a good game. 3 TDs, 250+ yds, and at least 62% completion. One of Wallace or SR is going to go off, whoever Haden isnt on. Perriman will also score a TD. A spectacular one at that.

Run game gets back on track too.

 

And the D balls out. They would have been better off going with McCown. I just hope we dont injure Kessler so McCown comes in.

Seems like yesterday we we're hoping he would warm-ups up before the game just to see him running. So glad the injuries seem to be behind him. He also seems to have his legs underneath him as his routes seem much stronger(still needs improvement). I'm expecting big things from him really soon. Big like 7 catches, 150yds 2 YDs big. 

[nextgen_RavensFan]

With the thought of the Browns trying to go deep on us scares me. I hope we can hurry the QB often enough for him to feel like he has no time for the big play to develop. I know we have the talent to get pressure and have seen it on occasions. But if we get our running game going which we will then we should control the time clock and limit them in any case.

[usmccharles]

I think the defense has a great game,  I don't think they score more than 10 points.  Now for the offer we,  no clue.   I wouldn't be surprised if we only score 13pts or if we out up 35.  We just need a game where things bounce our way.  

[PurpleCity5]

This is a 31st ranked Browns defense. It looks like its the worst defense in the league tbh. If the offense doesn't get it together today than I'm afraid they never will for the rest of the season.

I wish we would score 35 pts and the Browns 10 but knowing the play calling that has been used this season as soon as we get a decent lead Pees backs off and the lead narrows a bit. Is the only thing i miss about old Brian B. He pushed that score no matter how big the lead. I think a blow out would boost the offenses confidence and give the Defense a well needed game to just tee off and get rid of some frustration. lol

Yea,  remeber the steelers home opener game a few years ago,  we need something like that.   I don't really care about the stats of this game I just want to see good execution 

[nextgen_RavensFan]

Same here. Sound football (less penalties). What i am so impressed with though this year is the way the tackling has improved on our defense. The first guy usually gets the job done. 

[Cillmatic]

Either the offense goes off tonight or it never will.

[PurpleCity5]

Any know the PFF Cornerback grades for Jimmy, Tavon and Powers ranking? 

[Cillmatic]

Went over to Cleveland forums, those guys are predicting that the Ravens "eviserate" them. As doom and gloom as this place is at least we aren't THAT bad.

I don't know exactly where to find those rankings but here's this....

https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-ranking-all-32-nfl-secondaries-entering-week-7/

#2 secondary right behind the Vikings. Probably have switched a bit since then but the secondary hasn't looked too bad since then.

[BrownsFan]

The Browns defense is bad - there is no sugar-coating it.  Their offense has moments, they just can't put it together consistently for an entire game.  They have the ability to score points but they can't stop their opponent unfortunately.

We have shown nothing to indicate that we will blow anybody out, and I don't expect that to change tonight.

We could win by 10-13 points possibly, but I don't see like a 20-30 point win coming. As bad as these Thursday night games are and how heavily they tend to favor the home team, just don't think we have the personnel and aren't playing well enough currently to blow this game out.

I don't see many scenarios where we lose, but I've been surprised before. I suspect this will finish up with about a 10 point victory.

No kidding the defense shut down the Steelers the first 3 quarters and only won by one score still... Doesn't seem like a blow out will happen for awhile with his team.

I mean pretty much by definition, a blowout requires all three units of football to be playing well at the same time. Still waiting on that to happen.

 

[jboy19]

I don't feel good about the game, but I don't have any tangible reasons to think the Browns will win. 

[RavensPunkXVX]

I can just picture Kessler doing poorly, gets injured, and we all begin to get a little nervous as McCown trots onto the field. Lol

[nextgen_RavensFan]

For some reason i want to see Breshard try to beat Haden. If anytime is a good time to let Breshard try to have a breakout game this would be it i think. I want so badly for this kid to shine so brightly. I hope the world for him.

I had thoughts of Joe throwing a pick as I read this... 

[wizard1]

Yea we get a win against the hapless Browns but nobody should be celebrating. We are still going to be 6-10 this year. We won't be able to do much as an offense and Kessler will pass all over us . A rough and costly victory tonight for us ! 17-14 Ravens

Noooo  lol.. I want to see Breshard start to fight for the ball. I have hopes that his routes get crisper and he shows how badly he wants to bring in the passes.
