    Too much confidence coming from Browns fans. I will stabilize the forces and say Browns lose by 24-20.

    Why wouldn't Browns fans be confident? They're catching BAL at the right time with all of their injuries at key positions and the Browns have arguably their two best defensive players this time around where the Browns didn't have either of them in the first game. Having Haden back and Phil in a nice DT rotation, I think that helps a ton. If the Browns O can take advantage of the Ravens' bad run D and attack their weak secondary (No Webb and Reed isn't that healthy) and the D is able to get some stops and put hits/sacks on Flacco, they could/should pull out a W.

    This game will mostly be predicated on how the Browns offense plays.

    Should T-Rich absolutely gouge a putrid Baltimore defense? Yes, but I could see the O-Line laying an egg and T-Rich getting bottled up. MoMass is returning and Gordon wasn't really integrated into the system so should the Browns be able to torch a depleted Rats secondary? Yes, but as we all know, nothing seems to go as planned with these guys. Weeden has been playing very smart football, improving every week (for the most part) and not turning the ball so could he light up Baltimore's secondary? Yes, but he could just as easily regress and take a step back.

    I think the Browns defense plays tough in this one and Flacco isn't nearly as successful as he was in game 1. Rice, as always, will be a concern. You shut him down, or at least contain him, and you likely win. Flacco isn't going to beat you with his arm.

    My biggest concern is that the Browns aren't flying under the radar in this one. From everything I've read, Rats are treating this as "must win." The Browns will need to bring the old "A game" and play smart football with minimal mistakes/penalties/turnovers. This is the main reason I could see Baltimore squeaking this out. Other than that, I expect a Browns victory. Browns are far from good but Baltimore just isn't a very good football team right now.

    I wouldn't count on Phil. This will be his first down of football since last season. Anyway, to answer your question:

    1. Pat Shurmur
    2. It's cleveland

    Also they are a 2-6 team, let's not get ahead of ourselves with this team's ability.

    Rats giving T-Rich some respect....

    Haloti Ngata may not play for the Rats Sunday. Missed practice for a second straight day. This would be HUGE for our running game. McPhee (DE) also missed a second day.
  • zach24oz
    CLE also could very well be 3-5 or 4-4 (Philly, Indy and BAL?) I know they're 2-6 and that's not very good, but they are a little better than what their record shows IMO. With a depleted Ravens D, I just have a hard time believing that they will still shut the Browns O down. And I know it's Phil's first time playing this year, but he's fresh and if you rotate him in there every 2 or 3 series, that could pressure on the Ravens' OL...especially with Winn and Sheard getting after them.
  • bigdaddy2003
    Ngata being out 2 days in a row makes me nervous especially when the tweet I received said he's not practicing because of shoulder pain. I was assuming it was his knee.

    I just got a text saying McPhee is definitely out but that's not a huge huge deal. It says Ngata is questionable but I'm sure he will play.
  • shook_17
    ^^ i saw schefter said if he plays it will be limited. which is a good sign.:thumbup:
  • bigdaddy2003
    He will definitely play. Players like Ngata don't sit out. I'm just glad it's Saturday. It's been a boring week waiting for the game.

    Hoping history repeats itself. Last Saturday, hit for almost $4000 on the slots at Mountaineer and the Browns won on Sunday. Today we hit for $7500....GO BROWNS !!!

    Girlfriend was actually the one that hit big. Hit a max jackpot (three 10x's) on quarter slots for $6250 but she's playing with house money (mine). I only hit for about $1300 but it was a good trip. She got Xmas money and I got a couple of credit cards (same as cash financed a kitchen renovation) paid off.

    Really hot girl here at the browns bar. She knows a good amount of browns football dropping kardiac kids knowledge. Makes her even hotter.

    All the guys at the bar are probably going to try to rape her since she came to the bar.
