DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2015 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 33 Ravens 30 Predictions?

It's a fun game to play.

Everything points to Baltimore here.

They have more days off.
We are coming from the west coast.
They have better coaches and players.
We suck.

Baltimore 24
Cleveland 16

Flacco passes on us all day.

Ravens: 34
Browns: 17

It comes down to the last two points. Those first two won't change the outcome.

We come back to earth. And we don't battle.


Baltimore 41
Cleveland 6

The real McCown shows up. We lose.

This is going to be like the Jets game. They get destroyed in this one.

Browns - 13
Ravens - 42

have we won in baltimore since 99?

did dawson's kick off the crossbar happen there?

Yup.

We have won there three times. Ever.

thanks .. cool site

I remember Dawson making that miraculous field goal while Ravens players were heading to the tunnel thinking it was over.

I remember Couch running off the field waving bye-bye to the Ravens fans.

That's about it.

Anyway, this week I think we find a more pedestrian way to lose but lose nonetheless.

Ravens 30
Browns 21

was it couch? or anderson?

The Browns are 1-13 all time against Flacco. I don't see the trend being bucked.

I see this game game as being the precursor to the wheels completely coming off on the heels of next week's home game against Denver.

It'll be hard fought. We come up empty.

Ravens - 24
Browns - 20

Anderson. I remember him saying to the Ravens player being interviewed on the field after the game was thought to be over and saying to him, "we're going to overtime!"

It was the last exciting Browns season. I was going absolutely bonkers when they overturned Dawson's FG to good. Ahh, the good times.

We suck and it will be a loss. Don't really need to guess a score.

Steve Smith is out, so Haden might not get bent over this week. Ravens defense sucks too. Justin Forsett will probably destroy us though.



This is the game where the wheels finally come off.

that taliaferro fella tends to have good games against us.

I hope they let Gilbert cover Perriman to build some confidence this weekend.

Is Robert Turbin playing this week?

Their fullback torches us too.

yep jusczzcyckckzk or something like that.

It was Tim Couch that waved bye-bye to Baltimore fans after a win in 2002. I believe we knocked them out of contention on their own turf that year.

Based on what we've seen to date this season, it's very difficult to predict a positive outcome. I have a hunch however, that we may just surprise a lot of people though...

Yup. That's what we're all afraid of, tab.

I expect it to be a 21-24 game. we will find a way to lose at the end.

side note:
both teams suck.

I'm not sure what our team saw before trading or cutting all of our DL starters and our second rotation but... it's not a strength. Shelton looks average. everyone else needs to go or they need to change the strategy of our DL.

We literally have holes all over the place on D and the sad part... we invested heavily into the D for a number of years.

Playing like an old man Whitner is junk and it pisses me off that we didn't retain Ward. I got into many conversations about those two and how good TJ was. It's not hard to see talent on the field.

Battered dawg syndrome kept us from keeping our talent. When you have no talent... you can't replace potential talent without surrounding it with talent to grow that potential player into a star.

Johnny should come out at some point in the next 2-3 games and finish the season.

I see a repeat of the Detroit-Dallas game from the other night with us on defense, but this time the refs get the call right.

We then lose on a 4th down rushing score with no time left after holding them to no gain on 1st, 2nd, 3rd & goal.

That is how we play the game!!

I don't know how anyone can predict anything other than a loss. While Baltimore seems to be in a down year, they still have a stable franchise with a franchise QB. They handle in game adversity well, and they've also owned us over the years. Was it Harbaugh that said play the Browns conservatively, they'll eventually give the game away ...or something to that affect?

If we do happen to pull it out, it's likely just one of 3 or 4. Just not much to get excited about this year.

We are gonna be in trouble. Flacco will slice and dice us up.

We might be able to keep up on scoring (I say MIGHT) but that's about it.

Who cares more...the Ravens or the Browns? That's who wins this game.

That's not true at all.

With their two best WR's out (S Smith & Perriman), I would expect a large dose of RB's Forsett and Taliaferro, with some shorter passes to TE Crockett (Happy) Gillmore and WR Kamar Aiken mixed in. Ball control game, with lots of FG's is my guess.

We'll probably lose, unless we win.

all orange?

um...im gonna go with

ravens 33
browns 25

well no one can argue with that logic.

If they go all orange uni's, I'm either switching my TV to B&W, or turning it off and just listening on the radio. Its hard enough watching this team without seeing them in some ridiculous clown suits. I won't have it.

I thought the Browns were going all orange for their Monday night game against the Ravens.

A tie is possible...

Baltimore's WR are horrible and we have Haden and Williams. The key for Baltimore will be to continue to build on Forsett's performance against Pittsburgh, because before that, he wasn't doing much. My guess is, based on our efforts against the run, that Forsett should have, at worst, an average game.

Browns need to take advantage of a 'nothing special' secondary and our RBs in the passing game, particularly Duke Johnson. They still have a decent pass rusher in Dumervil even with Suggs out and we need to engage their LBs with our faster WR in the mid-range passing attack.

JMO

Yes, by all means, because we need to cement the perception that we are the Clown-Car Franchise of the NFL by wearing the worst possible uniform combination in front of a nationally televised audience. Excellent!

Didn't say I was in favor of that look...thought I read it somewhere. LOL

I say we lose on a long Tucker FG.

10-9 Rats.

Bolo or Bow?
