DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum 9 game winning streak will start now!

I actually think the opposite: we have a better chance of beating Baltimore than PIttsburgh. We struggle when another team’s defense can assert their will (Tennessee, San Francisco, Denver) and Pittsburgh’s is better IMO

Disagree. Those three teams didn't beat us because of defense. San Fran blew us out. They ran for like 1000 yards. Their offense destroyed us.

Tenn we beat ourselves the entire game with dumb penalty after penalty.

Denver we moved the ball at will it seemed, we just let their offense look like Brady and Co.

And yet the rats couldn’t run for squat against us ...

For me it's simple: we can only drop 1 game, and that game can't be to the Steelers or Ravens. IF that loss is to a division opponent it has to be the Bengals. I have this feeling that we'll lose if we have to go to any head to head results.

I don’t know why, but I have a weird feeling that we may beat the Steelers tomorrow ... and then lose to the Dolphins the following week

If we beat the Steelers tomorrow there is no way we lose to the Dolphins. The key will be beating the Steelers again at their house.

I’m just shocked he thinks we’ll beat somebody ...

I hear yeah. Trying to go undefeated or only 1 loss down the stretch is a mighty tall order, but there are clearly games we should win. I guess I still don't trust them enough to feel anything other than that losing a game in the "should win" column will be the game that keeps us out of the playoffs. It would only seem a fitting consequence for a team who wouldn't get it's act together early on.

Shame on the organization, FO, coaches, and players for making the fans feel that way.

But y'know the fans don't come out, then they aren't loud enough, then they are too loud. Meanwhile these owners, FO, coaches, and players have literally no idea what it has been like for lifelong fans of this team.

Less talking, more winning.

Ok that’s two!

Even though with atleast 3 players facing suspension, Miami won’t be easy.

Miami was going to be easy.

Something tells me it still will be.

The next Steeler game, though...refs will probably be instructed to allow Pitt to do whatever it wants.

In other words, status quo.

Miami game should be a win. The next PIttsburgh game ... umm ... could be a tough one

Thats two now ... problem is it comes with one huge butt wrench thrown in it ... dang it bro ...

1game out of playoffs

maybe my guy Watson can pull it off on sunday.

the ravens next 4 is the texans, rams, 49ers, bills.

its a tough stretch.

well im hoping that they drop atleast two of those. the most likely being the Texans and Rams.

i was thinking it was the 49ers, but watching that game they lost against the seahawks...they allow way too many open lanes that a mobile QB can exploit.

i say the texans because Watson is better than Lamar, and the Rams because....i dunno i just need the ravens to lose atleast two of these games so that WE have a shot at getting in.

We really need Baltimore to lose a game that it shouldn’t because they won the game that they shouldn’t have: NE

they also beat Seattle.

yeah at their place ... I said it at the time, but the loss to Seattle killed us. It’s a game that we had to have

11 Nov 17 HOU @ BAL M&T Bank Stadium 1:00 PM
12 Nov 25 BAL @ LA Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 8:15 PM
13 Dec 01 SF @ BAL M&T Bank Stadium 1:00 PM
14 Dec 08 BAL @ BUF New Era Field 1:00 PM

Realistically the only chance I see for the Browns is if the Ravens lose 3 of these 4 games. Buffalo is the least likely but on any Sunday those teams could beat the Ravens. . . . If Browns win 4 (MIA, PIT, CINCI, ARI) we'd be 8-6 and the Ravens would be 9-5 when we meet week 16. I'm giving BAL an automatic W vs the Jets.

Good point about Buffalo being able to stop Baltimore; hopefully that’s the case. They are similar teams, Baltimore just has More fire power.

I’m not sure Houston can win on the road like that, but It’d be nice if they get a W tomorrow

I used to feel like that until they whooped the Seahawks and Patriots.

I think they benefitted from playing both the week after we played them, but they were disciplined, mistake free and lucky, which sunk us.

If we want revenge it looks like we’ll have to get in as a Wildcard and get it in the playoffs.

We already drew up the blueprint to beating PIT before Myles had his 'meltdown moment': shut down the run, force Rudolph to win through the air, then get continuous pressure in his face. Wilks planned the perfect D game plan that against PIT. That leaves our O, which remains unchanged from Baker needs to get the ball out quick, spread it around, and play mistake-free.

Here's an important takeaway from Thursday's game: the only points PIT scored happened on a drive where we gained more yards for them than they did for themselves (was it 50+ yards of penalties?). Play smarter during that series, and CLE may have pitched a shutout. 21-0? I'll take that any day, every day. Elves are 2-0 in the division.

Upshot: PIT is primed for a 2019 sweep by CLE... if our boys can get/keep their heads right. CLE fans deserve to see such a thing... with all 3 of our division rivals.

I hope CLE goes into Heinz, and administers a merciless beat-down... with extreme prejudice. 30-something to single digits. Go get this win for 95- and his genitalia.

FIST IN THE AIR!!!
FREE MYLES!!!

As always, I dig the spirit Clemmy ... I do think we’ll be motivated as well. The hope is that the “support” for Myles grows in the media since Rudolph wasn’t suspended ... at the very least, we can use it as a team

That is my only consideration, Dawg.
The team has no control over anything else.
The only thing they can control- is the games they play.

That means controlling their opponents.
This team can do it.

Gotta make this run, bro... for a long/hard as we can.
Gotta start 'The New AFCN Paradigm' this year.

We can't look past Miami. Get down to business and make it a quick game with the offense that is slowly coming into form.

I think Wilkes will continue to earn his salary.

Nvm

Bwahahaha.. you guys thing we'll be motivated???


LOL Understatement of the year

Browns really needed the Texans to beat the Ravens today, without that, it may be moot even if the Browns win out.

Here are the Ravens remaining schedule, After beating the Texans,
We need the Ravens to lose "3" that "are not" the Browns,
and also need the "Browns to beat the Ravens" and win out (none of this "one more loss" stuff,)

( I can want it, ^ but just look at the math)

playoffstatus. com I mean, not to promote a different site but that's where I get so much info so explanatory

Ravens remaining schedule,
At LA Rams
Home 49ers
At Buffalo
Home Jets
At Browns
Home Steelers.

They have to go 2-4 (or worse) including a loss to the Browns, for the Browns to win the division

And the way the AFC is stacking with the Raiders, Bills, Colts, Titans, that the Browns chances at a "wild card" are even worse than above.

Folks talking about "losing one game down the stretch"?

Ya, that was the opener, (Titans);
that was the Seahawks,
that was the 49ers,

Browns already skewed the pooch, so to speak.

I think the Browns are going to dismantle the Dolphins.

Like Baker 5 TD performance type of game.

The season will hinge on the second Steeler game.

I think the ravens winning today pretty much put the nail in the coffin on our chances to win the division. Even if we sweep the ravens, their record will Be good enough that it won’t matter.

We’re gonna have to win out to make the wildcard. In for that situation, the ravens beating the Texans helps us out.

The issue however is that we only play 1 team that’s ahead of us in the standings, and that’s the Steelers, who still possess a better record than us. We own the tie breaker over the bills, but they are now 7-3.

Bills, Texans, raiders, Steelers and titans are all ahead of us in the wildcard spot/hunt. So even if we win out, we need so much help to get in.

And we have no one to blame but ourselves if we once again miss the playoffs. I could see a scenario where the titans beat us for the final spot because they own the tie breaker due to waxing us in the home opener.

You can only hope the players and the coaching staff learn from this and recognize every game means something.

The nonchalant approach to the off-season, the beginning of the regular season, and the lack of work put in is what ultimately might keep them out of the playoffs even if they win out.

Makes me sick to my stomach.

There's always next year... Let's talk draft.

The Ravens STILL are led by a running QB. Any play....
