Game Thread Ravens @ Browns 11/4

[SugarRay52]

Hey, I want them to make the playoffs as much as anyone. But if you look at the way they're playing now and the rest of the schedule, they very well may not make it unless something changes. They're not going to fire anyone mid-season, but that doesn't mean we should sit here and just accept it.

This guy should have been gone before. They let the wrong guy go when Zorn left.

Zorn wasn't going to do anything dramatically better, I'm with you far as Cameron should be gone but you're going to have to find me a better replacement than goofy *** Zorn? Would you rather be the Bengals right now who have lost 4 in a row and are the team in the division who is actually reeling right now?

Final analysis: It was the Browns. End of story.

[RAVEN FAN]

well we were good and we were bad. if we play like this every week the good teams will beat us.we run Rice up the middle that will not work all the time. ithought we would lose this game in the 4 th quarter.

browns had receivers open all day long that their horrible QB couldn't hit .......

Especially the Reed pick. It was a TD because Reed was beaten so badly, but Weeden couldn't hit the side of a barn.

I'm glad someone commented on this play.

Weeden was horrible. But it seemed as though Cam was calling half of his pass plays;-)

So did I. One thing I found funny. Listening to 105.7 after the game, you would have thought we just beat the Patriots by 20 with the praise they were heaping on the Ravens and Cam Cameron. Did I watch the same game they did? You take away the Browns going for it on 4th down and using their time outs and the 2 minute warning, we may have had a different outcome. If our O plays like that against teams like the Chargers, Broncos, and Steelers we're in trouble.

I don't usually try to put blame on the coaching when the players don't execute. But today, Cleveland seemed to know what plays were being called before they were made. They knew when Rice was going up the middle or when he was setting up for a screen. They knew when Flacco was going long or throwing in the flat. For most of the game Baltimore just had no surprises for Cleveland's defense.

The Ravens aren't very good this season.Time to rebuild that OL and get some new talent on the D.

Not expecting much for the remainder of the season.Poor coaching+lack of talent=Early exit even if they can hold on and win the division which I don't expect them to do.Oher was a great RT in his rookie season who was the dumbazz that has essentially sent his career on a downward spiral by moving him to LT?

I like that when the Ravens started struggling, they add a couple dumb penalties in just for good measure. Undisciplined teams usually don't do too well.

Fortunately the Browns are the Browns and the Ravens could take two quarters off and still win by 10. Browns are really starting to turn things around with their 10th straight loss to Baltimore.

Who was praising Cam and for what?

I just loved the unsportsmanlike coming from the sideline. That's a good sign the wheels are coming off.

This has really been my complaint with Cam all along.

Rob Long and Vinny Serroto(sp?). They were praising Cam for using Ray Rice more since that seems to have been a common complaint the last few weeks about his play calling. The both were making it sound like the Ravens were back. As I said earlier, they must have been watching a different game than me. The game I watched showed a 3rd quarter with no 1st downs and a lucky break that an even dumber coach went for it on 4th down with 3 TOs and a 2 minute warning left.

I was not listening to after game analysis from anyone on radio or on TV, I will say though I agree that using Rice with running the ball even though we did not get first down's shortens the game. Therefore though we may not get a first down we still use 2-3mins of time as opposed to 40seconds of the game clock. When you are ahead in a nail biter this works out as now the opposite coach presses and makes a dumb decision with 4 minutes remaining. Now imagine Rice only getting 18-20 rushes instead of 25. The time left on the clock is now 7-8minutes.

Pressure busts pipes. We are 6-2 and though haven't played our best, we are beating teams that we are supposed too. I think its a lot easier to learn from mistakes while winning then losing. We are undefeated at home and .500 on the road, a formula that worked well for us last year.
