GAME THREAD - Ravens/Browns II

[Sephy]

Welcome back. The commentators have all picked against us today, but the fans on the order of 67% think we will win this game. Who's right?

Find out in 10 minutes!

GO RAVENS!! :jester: :jester: :jester:

[Merlin]

Key will be the first quarter -- if our secondary can hold up and prevent the browns from jumping on an early and a big lead, I feel hopeful. This team is not built to come back from too far behind.

[Sephy]

Browns get the ball first.

[Sephy]

Cribbs lit up by Tommy Z at the 31.

[Bez513]

Stover kicking off? I thought that other kid was active today?

[StingerNLG]

Wasssup Sephy! I'm in today.

I'll try to keep an eye on the Titans today since they are playing on Fox today.

[Sephy]

1st, Jamal for no gain, maybe 1.
2nd and 9.5, going for Braylon, incomplete over the middle. Had about 3 guys around him.
3rd, thrown too far wide for Steptoe. Boobirds come already.

[Merlin]

Couldn't ask for a better start -- 3 and out

[StingerNLG]

Ok, good coverage by the defense. Nice 3 and out to start the game.

AND a false start on the kick. LOVE IT to start! :)

[Sephy]

Hey Sting - good to have you on board today.

Flag for false start before the punt. Punt shanked out at the Cleveland 47. Flag down for something. Player OOB on Cleveland. Added to the play, we start at the 42.

[StingerNLG]

Hahahaha, shitty kick, man out of bounds, Ravens with a short field.

Ok Joe, it's time to bring it to them!! Gaither is on the left side.

[Sephy]

Great opportunity for the O to get points first here.

1st, give to Rice, who gets his first start, gain of 5.
2nd and 5, unbalanced line, PA and Flacco goes for a comeback route while Clayton runs the fly. Miscommunication there.
3rd and 5, swing to Rice who makes a guy miss and gets enough for 6 and a first. LOVE RAY RICE!

[Merlin]

Rice has talent -- 2 DBs eye him 4 yards away from the first down and he still converts!

[Sephy]

1st from the 31, Rice cuts back for 2. Not much there, good effort to get those.
2nd and 8, Flacco pumps, completes to Mason for 8 and a first.

[StingerNLG]

Oh Clayton!! You gotta haul that thing in!!

And now a gounding call. This is not a good start.

WHEW!!! And a lucky call to replay 3rd down.

[Sephy]

1st down Ravens from the 21, Rice swallowed for a loss of 1. Need to mix up those first down runs.
2nd and 11, no huddle, Flacco goes to the endzone, just too high for Clayton. Honestly - it was near/in his hands. Catchable ball, but it wasn't perfect.
3rd, crazy play. Flacco throws it away and gets called for grounding, but the Browns had 12 men. Redo the play.

[Sephy]

3rd, Troy in, Flacco not. Shotgun, give to McClain, loses 1. Flag down. May be a horsecollar! Nope, holding, declined.

[StingerNLG]

What the hell kind of play calling was that??? You don't put Troy Smith in on a running play on 3rd and 11!!

Shitty shitty offensive start.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Dumb call on 3rd and 11.

First predictable call from Cam I've seen in while.

[Sephy]

Weak playcall, I agree with Gannon.

41 yarder for Stover, is perfect. 3-0 Ravens.

[StingerNLG]

Well, I guess we'll take 3 on our first possession, but damn that was NOT a good start for our offense.

I like the shot into the endzone, and I hope we're going to go deep more this game. But we've got to tighten up the O-line, and Flacco needs to not panic.

[Lee Van Cleef]

We need to start getting out of the traps faster than that. I can live with three, but we need to get TDs early.

That 3rd down play was weak, if anything I would have had Smith fake the handoff and run it right or throw down the right sideline. Either way, three points is a decent start.

[RavensInBrazil]

Other than that last call, was it really that bad? We moved the chains...

[StingerNLG]

Tennessee up 3-0 on Packers, but the Packers have the ball.

Vikings scored on the Texans to tie their game (we play them next week).

[Lee Van Cleef]

I thought Barnes was 51?

[StingerNLG]

Other than that last call, was it really that bad? We moved the chains...

1) Didn't have far to go.

2) Offense looked very confused,

[StingerNLG]

My goodness. Name me a better NT than Ngata right now. This guy is just awesome.

[Sephy]

1st from the 27 for the Browns, Jamal straight through for 2.
2nd and 8, Jamal for another 3. Ngata is dominating Fraley.
3rd and 5, complete to Winslow to the 47. First down. They sent all the LBs blitzing, but it was too slow.

[Sephy]

1st, wide open Lewis catches and runs to the Ravens 40.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Wow. Awesome play by Ngata.

[Sephy]

1st, Jamal for no gain, maybe 1. Upended at the line by Ray.
2nd and 9.5, false start.
2nd and 14.5, SACK by Pryce back into Browns territory! Loss of 9!

[StingerNLG]

SACK! Trevor Pryce!! Get'em boys!!

[Sephy]

Ngata almost had the sack too.
3rd and 23, caught by a Brown, fumbles, and Oglesby recovers!!!!

[Merlin]

Great series
Ngata helps to set up the sack by Pryce
Now with the fumble -- lets go for the jugular and get the touchdown!

[Sephy]

Steptoe definitely had that one and fumbled on the Reed tackle. Need to get 6 on this possession, ANOTHER in Browns territory.

[StingerNLG]

FUMBLE AFTER CATCH!!! Awesome!!

You have to think Romeo is going to challenge that though. EDIT: And he doesn't. :)

Either way, EXCELLENT stop by the Ravens after giving up a couple good plays.

[Sephy]

1st from the 47, Rice hit in the backfield, but gets back to the line. Mix those up, damnit!
2nd and 10, deep for Clayton, TOUCHDOWN RAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Merlin]

Touchdown

Finally The Deep Ball!!!!

[StingerNLG]

TOUCHDOWN RAVENS!!!! BEAUTIFUL PASS BY JOE FLACCO!!!!!!!

I said it was only a matter of TIME before Flacco starts getting his deep throws to hit receivers!!!

[UKRavenGordon]

Hell.....YEAH!!

[Sephy]

Perfect throw, great catch! EXACTLY what we needed. Will open up the run game and give Joe some confidence. 10-0 Ravens. BOOYEAH!

[Lee Van Cleef]

They made up for those two medium completions there. Pryce straight up beat the guard for his sack, and that was a good job on the tackle by Reed. Either way we were getting the ball back.

[Sephy]

They made up for those two medium completions there. Pryce straight up beat the guard for his sack, and that was a good job on the tackle by Reed. Either way we were getting the ball back.

How delayed are you exactly.

Cribbs returns it back for 92 yard TD :(

Our kick coverage fails again!

[StingerNLG]

OH NO!!!! FUCK!!!

That is not how you let the Browns respond!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

That's a very good grab by Clayton (I'm a few plays behind on my viewing here, sorry if I'm somewhat delayed in my responses).

[Sephy]

Some definite holds there on the replay. What can you do, I guess. There were chances to tackle him.

[Chef Dawg]

Woooo hooo!
Cribbs 92 yds for the score!

[RavensInBrazil]

Don't they remember what Cribbs did last season? :grbac:

[Sephy]

Rice takes a knee.

[Sephy]

1st, PA, complete to Mason for 11 and a first.

[Sephy]

1st, no huddle, toss to Rice gains 3.
2nd and 7, complete to Mason, about a 12-15 yard gain and a first.

[Chef Dawg]

I'm very impressed with Flacco so far

[Sephy]

1st from the 46, no huddle still, Rice gets about 5-6.
2nd and 5, give to Rice for 3-4 more. He really explodes out of the backfield. Browns are getting penetration and he's still gainin.
3rd and 1, Ravens have to take a TO. Mass confusion for the Ravens. Cam is annoyed - he took the TO.

[StingerNLG]

Jeesh guys come on!!! How can you be confused on 3rd and 1?

What is wrong with our offense today??

[Sephy]

3rd and 1, McClain for 2 and the first. Power running.

[StingerNLG]

At least they got the first down, so that's good.

[StingerNLG]

Wow, ANOTHER DEEP PASS! I like it!

[StingerNLG]

Ok, they aren't going to fall for this Troy Smith stuff if all he's doing is handing off.

NICE catch by Clayton! Someone has woken him up today!

[Sephy]

1st from the 43, deep and underthrown for Clayton, broken up. Flacco threw that off his back foot. Dunno if that's a doable pass, but he needs to step into that.
2nd, Troy formation, give to Rice for 1 yard. Need to mix that formation up if you want to gain from it.
3rd and 9, complete to the 26 for Clayton and a first! Flacco is seeing the field and getting great protection today!

[Sephy]

1st, Troy in, with Clayton trailing for the option, keeps and goes for 1.

That ends the first quarter.

[StingerNLG]

Sigh. Ok, we can stop with the "Suggs" formation now. I think it's run it's course.

[highwater]

Sigh. Ok, we can stop with the "Suggs" formation now. I think it's run it's course.

Agreed. Unless they come up with some new wrinkles for it, bench it.

[purple bird]

Those short run plays by Smith are probably being used to set something up for later on in the game. Make them think "another Smith running to nowhere play" and then he will throw in on them.

[StingerNLG]

Erf.

[Sephy]

2nd and 9, PA, Flacco goes to no one deep left side. Grounding flag thrown. I've seen that flag withheld for much worse.
3rd and 19, Flacco runs it, and only gets 2. Really should have tried to pick up 7 or so to make that a doable FG. Now they're punting. Ridiculous.

[Lee Van Cleef]

On that deep pass attempt to Clayton McClain absolutely flattened some poor sod who got into the backfield. Great block.

Agreed this Option stuff with SMith isn't working. McGinest just sat on Smith there and took him down.

[Sephy]

1st from the 6, Jamal loses 1.
2nd and 11 from the 5, Jamal gets the one yard back. Ray was there.
3rd and 10 from the 6, thrown low for Heiden. Boobirds out big now.

[StingerNLG]

Nice pass Derrick. Hahahahahah,

And we'll have good field position again.

WE NEED TO SCORE HERE!

[Marcel#52]

why is Steve Hauschka and Marcus Smith Inactive today?

[Sephy]

Cribbs gets the tackle at midfield. Come on, O!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Interestingly, Chiefs QB Tyler Thigpen has a 37 yard TD reception against Tampa, form WR Mark Bradley.

[StingerNLG]

Come on guys, WTF is going on here??? Now Heap is false starting.

[StingerNLG]

Nice grab by Mason, AND he's in bounds!!

[Sephy]

1st, Heap false starts. Thanks Todd.
1st and 15, complete to Mason for 17 and a first. He didn't get his feet in so they're running to the line and GOT IT OFF!!

[Marcel#52]

Why is McCain not getting some carries....

[Sephy]

1st, Rice gets no gain, and horsecollared, but no flag.
2nd and 10, complete to McClain for 3.
3rd and 7, thrown behind Rice. Would have gone for a HUGE gain if that's on target. Damnit!!!

[Sephy]

Punt goes into the endzone. Like a 10 yard net. Fucking a.

[StingerNLG]

Shit. Throw went to the wrong shoulder. And who was covering the corner on that blitz??? We gotta punt.

Come on offense!! Sooner or later the Browns are going to score.

[camdenyard]

Damn. We need to take advantage of this field position. Two wasted drives.

[Sephy]

1st, PA, and complete to Heiden straight down the seam for 20.

[Sephy]

1st from the 40, Jamal for 7.
2nd and 3, Jamal for 4 and a first.

[Sephy]

Scott is down hurt. But picks himself up, says its nothing, but has to walk off.

[Sephy]

1st, blitz comes, Leonhard MISSES the sack, but DA's pass goes wide.
2nd, slant for Winslow for 11. First down. And of course he's talking shit.

[Sephy]

1st from the 39, give to Jamal for 1.
2nd and 9, complete to Braylon to the 15. Flag down. Illegal contact.

[StingerNLG]

Sigh, and here is where our defense will give up a touchdown and we'll be behind. This is not where our offense needs to be.

[Sephy]

1st, caught by Heiden for 4-5.
2nd and 5, Jamal for maybe 1.
3rd and 4.5, spotted a yard short of the first, gain of 3.

[Sephy]

Luckily, Romeo pusses out and goes for 3.

10-10. Unacceptable. We are killing them!

[purple bird]

Did we just stop them on third and short inside our 10? I don't have the game available where I am.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Gotta take advantage of opportunities.

Clayton let one TD go through his hands.

Questionable grounding call that took us out of FG range.

Flacco throw behind Rice that would have went for 15 easy to keep a drive alive.

You have to take advantage of them

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Playcalling has gotten really lame lately.

[StingerNLG]

Oh man, what is going on with our offense today? How can we be letting the Browns front 4 handle our offensive line?

WOW, WHAT A LASER THROW!!

[Sephy]

1st from the 20, give to Rice for 2.
Late flag down. Picked up.
2nd and 8, give to McClain for a loss of 2. RIdiculous. What kind of BS playcalls are these?
3rd and 11, fit through the tightest of spaces to Mason for 20!!

[StingerNLG]

Sweet 26 yard run for RR!

[Sephy]

That throw does not happen with any other QB in this league short of Brett Favre. All arm strength.

1st, Rice spins for 6.
2nd and 4, give to Rice who breaks it down to the 30! One man to beat, and he got him. Still, great run!!

[phatboy]

Figurs ran right thru a block

[Sephy]

1st, incomplete for Clayton. He's throwing very quickly. Heap had a shot at getting open there.
2nd, nice blocks for McClain who gets 6.
They will likely let it tick to the 2 minute warning.

[Sephy]

3rd and 4, complete to Mason to the 10!!

[purple bird]

Who are the recievers in there now that Demetrius Williams is hurt? I can't watch the game so any info would be appreciated.

[StingerNLG]

Another good throw to Mason. Mason has become the WR beast this season.

Flacco can throw the ball, there is no doubt about that.

[Sephy]

1st and goal, Rice gets 2.
2nd and goal from the 8, Flacco runs right and throws it away. Gannon is aghast at no penalty, but he was so far out of the pocket.
3rd, Troy is in, calls TO. Flacco was split wide.

Gannon is a goddamn tool. In addition, he says "Flacco's been getting away with some today", when his previous two throw aways were called for grounding. Idiot.

[Marcel#52]

Who are the recievers in there now that Demetrius Williams is hurt? I can't watch the game so any info would be appreciated.

Mason, Clayton, and Figurs

[StingerNLG]

Mother of God. And now they have to call a timeout with both Smith and Flacco on the field.

Anyone notice Miami isn't using the "Wildcat" anymore? Anyone realize why??

[phatboy]

Figurs is the third receiver

[Sephy]

Flacco back in.
3rd and goal from the 8, TO Cleveland. lol.

[phatboy]

Yeah US. We are the reason. Our Suggs is a little different than their cat

[Marcel#52]

Noooooooooo Flacco!!!

[StingerNLG]

SIGH.............................................................

[Sephy]

Third try at this..

3rd and goal from the 8, Flacco sacked at the 15. Lucky he didn't fumble there. He's focusing way too much on Mason, Heap was open!

[AWhitt1]

I have not seen this offense play with energy like this is a long time. Even when we are playing well we never look like we want to go out and score quick TDs, which is how we look today. I am loving it no matter what happens.

----------------
Now playing: Gong - Tropical Fish/Selene (http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/gong/track/tropical+fish+selene)
via FoxyTunes (http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/)

[phatboy]

Heap was open. Gotta quit staring down Mason

[Sephy]

Stover is perfect - 13-10. Can't help but be wistful about missed chances.

[phatboy]

You just have the feeling after watching this half that we are in control. They really have not stopped us yet.

[Sephy]

Cribbs to the 33, 25s left.

[StingerNLG]

Third try at this..

3rd and goal from the 8, Flacco sacked at the 15. Lucky he didn't fumble there. He's focusing way too much on Mason, Heap was open!

I just went back and looked, he was covered, but in front of the defender. Flacco should have taken the shot at him, or Clayton, who was also able to at least open.

[Sephy]

1st, Browns gonna try, complete to Winslow for 15 yards. Browns take a TO with 14s left.

[Sephy]

They just reset the clock to 20. Why, I don't know.
1st from the Browns 46, complete to Braylon for 15 and out of bounds. Ivy beat like a bad trick.

[Sephy]

1st from the 37, thrown OOB.
2nd, 12s left, thrown OOB.
3rd, 8s left, Dawson coming on.

54 yard try..is good.

Absolutely FAILURE BY THIS DEFENSE.

[StingerNLG]

Unfuckingbelievable. They go into halftime tied.

Harbaugh better light this team up in the locker room. There is no way the Browns can be this lightweight on the field, and still be tied.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Terrible 2 minute defense.

Why did we give up a 15 yard out to Edwards?

[Sephy]

Tied at halftime in a game we've dominated. Un-fucking-acceptable.

[Lee Van Cleef]

This isn't the first time this season we've outplayed the opposition, failed to convert in the redzone and the D has given cheap points.

This, so far, feels like the Pitt and Tenn games.

[ravenjoe]

Dare I say, this Defense melts down AGAIN in a critical situation?!?! Yea, we continue to get stats, but when the pressure is on, the opposing team just marches RIGHT DOWN the Friggin field.

[phatboy]

Damn I just saw Obama mask in a Ravens jersey.
Discalaimer: This is not a political statement.

[darb72]

The defense has given up six points and the offense has been moving up and down the field. We just need to come out and put seven on the board.

[Sephy]

Rice fumbles the kick, but gets it to the 15.

[4G63]

This Defense isn't as good as they think they are.....

[Andon]

ray rice please catch

[Sephy]

1st, Rice for 3.
2nd and 7, incomplete on the out for Clayton.
3rd and 7, Flacco has to take a TO already. Barely anyone is in the stands. Ugh.

[Sephy]

3rd and 7, what the hell? Rogers gets through and no one did anything. Flacco is forced to run for 2.

Cribbs returns to the Ravens 26. Fuck me.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Ugh...we are gonna lose.

We just wasted way too many opportunities

[Sephy]

How can we go from an offensive head coach and sucking on offense to a special teams head coach and suck on special teams? Mind boggling.

[Sephy]

1st, deep to the endzone for Braylon, TD. How is that a TD? Walker had the ball!!!

[darb72]

Bullcrap! Walker had that ball and posession goes to the defense.

[phatboy]

Just like the first game friggin game special teams killing us

[Sephy]

That was NOT a fucking TD. It was NOT a tie up. Walker had that pick!!

[Chef Dawg]

An amazing catch!

Browns Lead 20-13

[darb72]

I thought tie went to the defense, guess I was wrong. That ball was clearly more in Walkers possession though.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

no possesion goes to the offense.

[Chef Dawg]

Possesion goes to the Receiver

[Raveninwoodlawn]

No doubt Walker had more possesion, but all Edwards has to do is maintain partial and the offense always gets possesion.

I'd hardley call that a great catch.

[Marcel#52]

Defiantly Walkers Int.... Horrible Horrible call...

[Chef Dawg]

You guys ok?
lots of crying goin on in here..The refs are doing anything..Edwards imposed his will..much like Cribbs did on the girls trying to tackle him

[Raveninwoodlawn]

What are you guys looking at...that was clearly the right call.

The BS call was not calling the Browns entire front 4 offsides on that 3rd down play before the punt

[Sephy]

Figurs to the 27.

[phatboy]

Who let that damn stain fan in here. the fucker never appears until the Stains get a reff helped TD

[Andon]

is that a browns fan?

[StingerNLG]

No, it wasn't a horrible call. It was the right call.

The problem is the HORRIBLE special teams play today. Between that and our offense being stuck in neutral, we aren't going to win this game.

[darb72]

Why is Clown trash ruining our board?

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Again, THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE SOLE POSSESION OF THE BALL FOR IT TO BE A CATCH.

During a simultanious catch, the offensive guy gets possession. It was not a pass where Walker had sole possession of the ball until Edwards let the ball go after the ref made the call.

Look up the rules guys.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Officiating is going to cost us this game!!

I think not scoring TDs from the redzone is going to cost us the game. Again.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Yeah, this Clown fan is a real fan...he is mysteriously absent until they get the lead.

When we come back to win, you better still be posting.

[StingerNLG]

And ANOTHER false start on Heap????

[darb72]

And would someone please tell Heap to stop jumping off-sides?

Ok, now we need to score a TD.

[Sephy]

1st, Rice for 4-5.
2nd and 6, Heap false starts again. Just get off the field you loser, try doing something for the team today.
2nd and 11, pass for Clayton knocked away by Wright.
3rd, caught by Clayton, gain of 10. GOD. DAMNIT.

[StingerNLG]

Shit, and another 3 and out.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

FU,,,I have TEVO and went back to watch it multiple times, He never had possesion!! Periord, Trust me, you must be watching it on a 10 inch black and white.


It's TIVO and I have DVR.

They were both fighting for possession. again...Edwards does not have to have sole possession of the ball at any point. If he shares possession then the ball goes to the offense. How hard is that to understand?

I have seen countless of those plays and that one was no different.

[phatboy]

Well at least I am kicking ass in fantasy. Come on RAVENS make my day

[Sephy]

1st from the 28, Jamal for 3.
2nd and 7, Jamal for 4.
Steinbach is hurt.

[StingerNLG]

And looky there, a defensive pass interference penalty. Isn't that awesome?

[Sephy]

3rd and 3, overthrown for Winslow. Everyone cries for a flag and they get one.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

You guys ok?
lots of crying goin on in here..The refs are doing anything..Edwards imposed his will..much like Cribbs did on the girls trying to tackle him

A) Why not go to your own board?
B) How the hell do you live in Pissburg are a assclowns fan but come to a REAL football board?
C) Just shut the f**k up you were not here last game when your ASS CLOWNS LOST!

OK Thanks BYE!
:192214:

[phatboy]

I fucking hate gannon

[Sephy]

1st, complete to Braylon who is about 10 yards in front of Fabian. Are they even trying?

[StingerNLG]

And look how open Braylon Edwards is.

[Sephy]

1st from the Ravens 40, Harrison for 5.
2nd and 5, caught by Winslow to the 15.

JFC. Now Washington is going off the field. This secondary is useless.

[StingerNLG]

And here is where the defense simply melts and the Browns are about to blow this game open.

And now Washington is hurt.

[darb72]

What happened to the deep passes we were trying earlier? Those seemed to work remarkably well and yet we've decided to not even try anymore?

[Sephy]

Christ, Ivy is going to get killed. Something needs to happen.
1st, Jamal for 7.
2nd and 3, Lewis for no gain. Maybe 1.
3rd and 2.5, complete to Wright, TD.

Make something happen or you are going to get blown out. NOW.

[StingerNLG]

The Ravens have simply not showed up to play today.

[darb72]

Dang. Now our defense has decided to completely give up and our offense can't move the ball.

Ok offense it's time to actually try scoring.

[Bez513]

Our defense sucks...no pass rush whatsoever.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Well, it looks, sadly, like the missed chances in the first half are going to kill us again. I can't get a working stream of the game so I'm off to watch The West Wing. Laters guys.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

This game is over.

We have lost our top 3 CB's and have Ivy and Walker starting

[RavenFanatic2k6]

Terrell Suggs is proving why I'm right.

Playing against Joe Thomas, he's not even on the stat sheet. Done absolutely nothing. I told you guys he only shows up against bad teams and bad tackles.

[Sephy]

Thought that wasn't a TD, and it wasn't.

Pointless to challenge a first down at the 1 though.

[StingerNLG]

And to make matters worse, that was not a touchdown. Awesome

[Chef Dawg]

well, that should just about do it guys...sorry

[Sephy]

1st, pass batted by #99.
2nd, Flacco gets out of a sack, but declines to throw it away and gets sacked anyway for a loss of 5.
3rd and 15, complete to Mason to the 35, first down. Killer throw.

[StingerNLG]

Thank goodness!! Derrick Mason has been making catches like crazy today.

[StingerNLG]

well, that should just about do it guys...sorry

Good, then perhaps you'll go away. You picked a bad thread to be in.

[Chef Dawg]

Who let that damn stain fan in here. the fucker never appears until the Stains get a reff helped TD

I have been here long before that TD..if you read the threads you would know that

[Sephy]

1st, complete to Rice for 8-9 yards.
2nd and 1.5, give to Rice who gets to the Browns 46 and a first.

[darb72]

Someone tell the offense not to try winning this game. We need to save these young guys for next year.

[Chef Dawg]

Good, then perhaps you'll go away. You picked a bad thread to be in.

I wont go away...but thanks for asking

[Sephy]

I have been here long before that TD..if you read the threads you would know that

lol, by making one post at the beginning and then disappearing until they came back?

[Sephy]

1st, McClain for 9.
2nd and 1, bubble screen to Mason, gains 7 and a first.

[UKRavenGordon]

I'm obviously the only one who still thinks we can win this one...

[StingerNLG]

Perhaps some signs of life here? Nice playcall, and a nice throw to the endzone knowing you have a flag in your favor.

[Sephy]

1st, from the 30, flag and incomplete for Figurs. Good throw though. Good play by the DB. Wimbley offside.
1st and 5, give to Rice who slips for 5 and a first.

[StingerNLG]

I wont go away...but thanks for asking

Well, at least it shows the mentality of a Stains fan. You realize you aren't wanted here, and yet you stick around anyway.

[Sephy]

1st from the 20, give to Rice, who delivers a stiffarm and GOES ALL THE WAY, TD RAVENS!!

[darb72]

Everybody please quit quoting the Stain's fan. He's on my ignore list and I don't want to read his trash.

[Chef Dawg]

lol, by making one post at the beginning and then disappearing until they came back?

I have been here all game long..

No TD.

[Sephy]

The official overrules and calls him out at the 2. UGH.

1st and goal from the 2, McClain for 1.

[UKRavenGordon]

Fucking yes Ray Rice. Lets pound it in with mclain here!

[darb72]

Shouldn't that be a hit to the QBs head? After all they called it on Suggs against the Titans.

[Sephy]

2nd and goal from the 1, Williams jumps and hits Flacco. Half the distance.
2nd and goal from the half, heavy package in with Ngata, McClain sheds a tackler and gets in! TD RAVENS!

[UKRavenGordon]

YES!!!!

[StingerNLG]

Now THAT'S a touchdown.

Ok defense, you have GOT TO HOLD SERVE HERE and give us a chance to come back.

[Sephy]

27-20 now. Back in it. Time for the defense to STEP THE FUCK UP.

[darb72]

TD McClain. Our offense has been improving each week since the Colts game so now we just need to shore up the secondary.

[WxKevin]

Pressure, Pressure, Pressure....we need some now!

[Sephy]

Stover kicks it OOB. There's something new.

[WxKevin]

3 and out!!! Let's go Ravens fans!!!!

[Sephy]

1st, give to Jamal for 3.
2nd and 7, complete to Steptoe for 4.
3rd and 3, Fabian back in, pass batted by Bannan! 3 and out!!

[Sephy]

Yamon takes it to the Browns 41!!!!

[StingerNLG]

Ok, 3 and out. That's what we need.

Now, can the offense keep that momentum going? This is where we can see the mettle of our offense.

AND FIGURS with the nice return!

[UKRavenGordon]

Good stop D! Come on, another drive by the Joe, Ray and Derrick show would be just the ticket here.

[phatboy]

OOOOOOOOH our ex punter gave us one

[darb72]

Good return by Figures. Let's punch another one in for six guys.

[phatboy]

Damn would be nice to pull this one out.

[Sephy]

1st, complete to Clayton, gain of 14, first down!

[WxKevin]

This is going to be huge when we win. Coming back from 14 down and winning!

[darb72]

I'm glad Clayton has finally started getting some passes his way. It shows we're opening up the playbook a bit and trusting Flacco.

[Sephy]

1st, Rice with the carry, wrapped up very well by Davis. No gain.
2nd and 10, complete to Mason, who's DB Falls down and HE GOES IN FOR A TD RAVENS!!!!

[Chef Dawg]

wow

[phatboy]

Fuck me running

[darb72]

TD MASON!!! Anybody have Flacco on their fantasy league?

[StingerNLG]

HOLY SHIT!!! TOUCHDOWN RAVENS??????????

Wow!!!

Way to come back offense!!!

[WxKevin]

YESSS!!!!!!!!!!! Touchdown!

Oh yeah, don't ever give up doubters!

[UKRavenGordon]

Joe Flacco......

I love you.

[Sephy]

WE. ARE. TIED!!!

Hell of a response by this offense. Hell of a response!!

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Way to make me eat crow!!

[purple bird]

TD MASON!!! Anybody have Flacco on their fantasy league?
I have Flacco on my FF team; I sat him for Pennington (and McNabb, I am in a 2 qb league). Maybe next week....

[bmorebirds_24]

way to fucking fight back now lets win this thing

[Chef Dawg]

gonna give this one away...

[WxKevin]

Clayton is actually getting open today. Best game of the year by far!

[Sephy]

Flacco is 16/26 for 240 and 2 TDs. Every week he is improving. If the defense does something big here we are in wonderland.

[Marcel#52]

Nice Job by Mason Giving the Micheal Jackson to all Cleveland fans...

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

wow

That is all you have to say now?:laugh: :laugh:

Go back to cleaning the stains out your pants you ass clown!
:rolling:
:192214:

[StingerNLG]

WE. ARE. TIED!!!

Hell of a response by this offense. Hell of a response!!

No kidding. It's like they got together and said "Ok, enough of this shit. Let's play football". And then they did!

We might just pull this out.

[Sephy]

Ayanbadejo lights up Cribbs at the 19.

[purple bird]

An amazing catch!

Browns Lead 20-13
An amazing catch indeed...by Derrick Mason!!!!

[darb72]

YESSS!!!!!!!!!!! Touchdown!

Oh yeah, don't ever give up doubters!

I'm required by Fan Law to give up once or twice a season, much like I'm required to hate every single first round pick by the Ravens. Every time I give up, something good happens.:thumbup:

[Sephy]

1st, give to Jamal who is hit in the backfield by Scott for no gain.
2nd and 10, Lewis for 2-3.
3rd and 7, deep for Braylon who DROPS THE PASS. He had beaten Oglesby and was certainly open. WHEW!!!

[Raveninwoodlawn]

lmao Edwards!!!!

[StingerNLG]

WHEW!!!!! Braylon dropped the ball!! Thank goodness!!

[darb72]

Thank you Teflon Hands. Braylon is a taller Travis Tailor.

[Sephy]

Figurs runs backwards to the 22. Loss of 6 on the return.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

What the hell Figurs?

He has certainly been a disapointment

[WxKevin]

Thank God for Edward's butterfingers!

[WxKevin]

Figurs is trying to do too much. I like the aggressiveness but sometimes you just need to go forward and only get the 5 yards instead of losing 10.

[Marcel#52]

Great Job Edwards.... NIce Catch

[StingerNLG]

Horrible block by Anderson.

Hey, nice screen pass.

[WxKevin]

I'm required by Fan Law to give up once or twice a season, much like I'm required to hate every single first round pick by the Ravens. Every time I give up, something good happens.:thumbup:

OK, but I have only ever given up once in the 13 years we have had the Ravens. I wasn't about to have numebr 2 today.

[Sephy]

1st, toss to Rice who has a meager hole for 1.
2nd and 9, screen to Rice for 9 and a first.

[Marcel#52]

Nice switch to a screen by Flacco

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Where is the stains fan? Crying into his beer? LOL

[darb72]

Anybody else able to tell a difference in the playcalling from last year to this year?

Honestly, how long has it been since we've run a screen in Baltimore before this season?

Good run by Rice to pick up close to the first and.... we don't get the first.

Crap, just QB sneak it with the 6'6, 235 pound QB.

[Sephy]

Looks like the poor spot might make it 3rd and inches. Literally one inch.

3rd and inch, Rice gets the carry. Another measurement.
