DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2019 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 40 Ravens 25 Postgame Thoughts

Yes, Ratley had a pretty poor day today to put it mildly ... getting Callaway and Higgins will br nice

Their Oline swallowed Myles the entire game.

At least give good play credit. This isn't a knock on our guys at all.

He does that?

J/C

We weren't hurt by any phase of the game. Our ST did not allow any returns. Our kicking was consistent.

Steve Wilks. It's time to stop with the questioning and skepticism. He had a solid game plan and the team executed it. Same was true last week in the loss against the Rams. To get this level of performance out of this secondary with the players absent is a credit to the DC. We should be better for it as the season goes on.

We have dealt with the adversity of having guys out on both sides of the ball. The team has not allowed this to be an excuse.

We were equal to the physicality of the Ravens.

Whatever was happening, that prevented offensive play calls into Baker in a timely manner has been solved. Good job Freddie and Monken on that one.

Today we were able to execute a gameplan that took advantage of the specific weaknesses of the Ravens. Hopefully, we become more adept at that week by week.

They played 2 crappy teams and won. Then they got stopped by us.

I don't give enemies credit. I spit on their grave.

I agree with all the opinions expressed about the "assault" on OBJ because that's just what it was. The player should not only have been thrown out but suspended and fined by the league. The ref should be fired. This happens to us too much and yet we are flagged for so many questionable violations. Ridiculous!!!!

Did anybody notice if Richardson came back in the game?

Think I like you eve!!!!

Muahs

Chubb on his 88yd TD:

"Anybody could have ran through that hole"

Didn't expect a blow out win against Baltimore. Way to go Browns. Huge win today over a divisional team. 1st place in the division. GO BROWNIES, WOOF WOOF!

lol surely not I

But my favorite quote of the day:

"I don't give enemies credit. I spit on their grave."

Classic.

Posting this having not read any other posts:

That was the 2018 offense. We ran a ton of 12 personnel. There were a few creative plays (the double reverse pass and the option shovel pass to Landry).

Baker only left the pocket early once or twice. That's a huge improvement.

Obviously Nick Chubb was outstanding. He also had a few great blocks in pass protection.

Eric Murray impressed me a ton last week and made a few nice plays today.

Why do we try and return every kick?

On the long pass to RSJ and the TD to RSJ the Ravens DBs doubled OBJ and it left the tight end wide open. OBJ didn't have many yards but he impacted the passing game a ton.

Landry's ability with the ball in his hands is so great.

It seemed like the goal of our edge rushers was not to get pressure necessarily but to hold the edge and keep Lamar Jackson in the pocket. This is known as the mush rush, it's a strategy the Patriots use against mobile QBs all the time.

Joe Schobert was everywhere. He's great. Pay the man.

Jermaine Whitehead made the big INT but it seems like he's consistently out of position. I'm hoping he's the guy that loses snaps when everyone gets healthy.

Our depth at corner is tremendous. We lost our two starters and haven't really missed a beat.

Steve Wilks had some perfectly timed blitzes today. He hasn't blitzed nearly as much as I thought he was going to this year. He has been a huge hire.

Having Damarious Randall back gives me a ton of confidence. He is highly competent.

Chris Hubbard seemed to be a huge improvement over McCray.

Two points: Yes, Schobert with 17 tackles ... wow

And our backup CBs have been so good ... and against the run. That’s a huge bonus w/our depth

j/c....

I think Harbaugh kinda knew they couldn’t stop us based on going for 2 and them going for that 4th down

Yeah, I can't believe they went for it with the time they had left and where they were.

Those are two plays that the numbers would say to do. The two point worked (it also forced us into a rushed decision in going for two points). The fourth down play would have worked if Lamar Jackson threw it to the right spot.

The numbers would suggest that if you punt the ball away you are losing anyway. It was ballsy but the right call and I would hope our head coach would make the same call.

I assume you're taking some liberties with what the "numbers say"... you're down by 12 with NINE minutes left at your own 30.

congrats on the big win!

If you punt the ball away you lose. If you go for it on fourth down and convert you still have a chance.

Yeah, I was talking more about the 9 minutes left in the game part. Game was not out of hand at that point, and you've got most of the quarter to work with.

j/c:

--Baker played good, He made a lot of plays in the passing game. He took care of the ball and made some nice throws.

--The play calling was better. There was a clear emphasis on having Baker get rid of the ball quicker and we didn't abandon the run.

--The OL was outstanding. They gave Baker a ton of time and opened holes for our backs. This Kush guy is underrated. Did anyone else see him take out two different defenders on Chubb's long run?

--The D is getting pressure and playing smart. The DBs played well and Joe S had another outstanding game.

--Our rookie kicker is quietly doing his job.

--This was a huge win for the team. I think it should turn the season around. I don't like making too much about an early season game, but this win was way more important than normal.

J/c

Looking at the stats, I see that Baker was 20/30 today .. to me, that is IDEAL

I gotta go and rewatch. Most of the game, for me, was spent following the online gametracker and listening to the radio. It seemed like Chubb was running hard without much to show for it until the second half. Kudos to the playcalling for feeding him throughout.

Can't believe I forgot to mention this:

--OBJ drew a ton of attention today. He didn't have the numbers, but his presence really helped the other guys.

--Landry was spectacular. He is such a tough guy and he made one huge play after another. He also got a couple of bad spots. I hope he can play next week. We need him.

--Seals-Jones looked good. He seems quicker than the other TEs.

Am I the only one who thinks Ward and Williams should make sure they heal up nice before coming back?

i would be right there with you if our bye was in two weeks. but we got two big games before the bye. as admirable as our secondary is playing, we still need those guys.

Lol maybe the better question: do THEY think it’s important to get on the FIELD asap given the last two games’ secondary performance

They are playing better then anyone thought they would, after our injuries.

Nick Chubb is a fast man..not just fast for a big man but a fast man. He made the Raven's secondary look like offensive linemen. He blew by them like they were standing still. WoW!

It's kinda hard to see in this video, but this is the play I was talking about before where Kush blocks one guy, then comes off of him and takes out a second guy. Both blocks were instrumental in springing Chubb's big run.

A good win against a good team.

I hope these last two weeks help the team realize, and internalize the fact that they CAN beat good teams. I’m sure they’ve heard the claims that they only beat bad teams last year. They should build fro here.

Good point. We just beat a team w/who had a winning record. Very cool.

Did you notice baker running towards the assault I am certain to back up his wide receiver. Another example of his leadership.

On the road to boot.

How often do we get to see the home team fans hustling to the exits early while ours hang around and do here we go Brownies chants?

Loved it.

I quickly watched the game... fast forwarding through some pawrts..

O line played well... baker stayed in pocket more and moved up rather than out.... Chubb is awesome... got some timely turnovers.... hope Landry isn't ok... time to get a winning record in national tv....
