This is a rematch of a hard fought game back in week 7. The Ravens prevailed 23-20 when Cade York's FG was blocked at the end of the game. I think that was the game that Cooper's late TD was wiped out by an offensive PI on Cooper.

The Browns are a 3 point favorite this time around. The Over/Under is 37.5

Lamar almost certainly will miss his second consecutive game. His backup, Tyler Huntley, went out w/a concussion last week, but he did practice yesterday, so he will most likely be the starting qb. Amari Cooper is listed as Questionable w/a hip injury for us. JOK is out on defense.

Key Matchups:



--Browns OL vs Ravens Front 7: The Browns OL have really struggled since Pocic went out w/his injury. Conklin looks like he is wearing down at RT. The Ravens are very good at stopping the run and bringing pressure. The Browns OL must protect Watson enough to get off some quality throws and at least open enough holes so Chubb can get going again.

--Watson vs Ravens Secondary: The Ravens secondary is ranked around 26th against the pass this year. This might be a game where Watson and the passing game gets going. He'll need time to throw, though.

--Ravens Run Game vs Browns Run D: J.K. Dobbins ran for 120 yards last week while averaging 8 yds a carry against the Steelers. Gus Edwards has gashed us before. Huntley is also a threat as a runner. The Browns run D has to slow them down a bit.

--Mark Andrews vs Browns LBers and Delpit. Andrews has been quiet, but we will be playing backup LBers and Delpit is pathetic in coverage.

--Special Teams: Browns can't afford blocked kicks, roughing the kicker penalties, etc. The Ravens have the best kicker in the NFL while the Browns do not.

If watson contimues his progress the way he did from his first game to his second game and considering they will be playing their backup QB, the Browns should win this game.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I worry about Dobbins being back because he’s by far their most explosive option

I think the 2 keys to the game are:

1. We have to slow down their run game. They can demoralize a defense gashing them on the ground and our defense is prone to letting that happen. We have to put them in passing situations and force Huntley to beat us from the pocket.

2. Watson has to be quicker with his decisions. It has to be 3 or 5 steps and the ball comes out. If he stands back there patting the ball like he did repeatedly last week, he's going to get killed. And this is one game where we are going to have to use the pass to open up the run as opposed to the other way around.

JOK’s absence won’t help us. I was glum when I saw he was on IR.

Why are the Browns favored.

@b went many years against Jax, Indy, and Tenn, the AFC North defenses are even less kind to @B's than them
and we're going to see it, again.

DW won't do well in div. games ... not real high on him at this point, contract or not.


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

That’s such a low total .. they’re projecting a 20-17 win for us

I think weather and the Ravens QB options are the factor. Their backup, Huntley, has yet to be cleared from concussion protocol.

I kinda do as well. However, I don't think he is yet 100% and it's a small sample size but Winfrey has improved the defensive interior a little as of late.

I'm schlepping to this game with my youngest son and I'm expecting a half-empty stadium. What I'm looking forward to the most, from a game standpoint, is seeing how Watson performs in the cold weather. Not that it will be frigid, but temps will be in the high 20s, low 30s.

Also, excited to see what song J-Dubs has picked out for this week's fan sing-a-long!

Well, you said you were looking forward to what song J-Dubs would play the last time when you took your eldest son to the game and we won. So, we have that going for us.

This.

I think he'll be just fine. But with a couple of years with no cold weather games, who knows.

Let's see how Cade does under the same circumstances.

The opponent has a bad @b, the Browns defense will or won't exploit it?

The Browns have a confused and inconsistent offense and the opponents defense will or won't be able to exploit it?

I'd pick the ravens and probably eleven would be the margin at the end of the game.

...
What is the Number ONE most alarming thing on the Browns currently?
I think it is, or was last week, was the @uarterbacks' decision making from the time the ball was snapped until the time he gave up on the play and decided to improvise bad outcomes like almost getting sacked or fumbling or almost getting intercepted or injured while trying to scramble in traffic with no lanes and then
the continued effect of doing it over and over ruining his confidence in the pocket,
and whomever is responsible for this happening, or can fix it...
I think it is the biggest most alarming problem of the whole performance last week,
and no team can sustain success with that problem.

Evidently some people get off on that. No matter, I am just glad they stopped with "sloopy". That was getting way past old. That to me was like if I went to a Titans game and they started playing "Rocky Top".

Cool song, but wrong team, wrong venue.

Harbaugh 24 wins 5 losses against us
Leshaun 0 wins against ravens
Ravens are going to have 259 yards rushing.
Ravens win 17 to 3 as Leshaun goes 10 for 11 on his last drive
So everyone proclaim he is a top 5 qb .

You know we played their back-up QB last year right? Jackson got hurt early and Huntley came in cold off the bench. We won 24-22 but even cold, Huntley was 27/38 for 270 yards and a TD (rating of 99.7), with 6 rushes for 45 yards. Their non-QB rushers only had about 70 yards and Myles Garrett had a defensive TD.. all to secure a 2 point win... I will suggest that "should win" is a bit optimistic. We might win if we finish drives with points, avoid turnovers, and the defense plays really well against their run game, which is much improved since last year with Dobbins, who wasn't there last year.

Clicked through out of curiosity. If Baker wins another game in the same fashion this week, the Rams fans will go absolutely nuts for Baker. They sound just like us when Baker had his first game action.

So we won against Huntley last year with "that guy" as QB. So why shouldn't we win against him as the starter again this year? I mean the guy we had last year at QB sucked, right?
