Ravens Browns Monday Night Game Thread

[baltimore_hokie]

Well I wonder if Kruger will be the recipient of Nakamura's roster spot. Tonight may shine alot of light of what we can expect out of him this season.

[RavenScallywag]

Goes for the cheap sneak, gets it...

[RavenScallywag]

Knee sprain for Suggs, return is doubtful

[Rolfejr]

It's kind of weird, we're winning and we look like Browns fans!

[RavenScallywag]

LOL, Quinn sacks himself, falls down rather than take Ray's hit.

That's what you get Brady Boy.

[Stumpy]

Has Carr run anything back yet???

[808 Raven]

That was hilarious. I wonder if Quinn is checking if he soiled himself. :laugh:

[RavenScallywag]

OL is falling to pieces, Flacco is swirling a lot.

Another lucky penalty for us.

[RavenScallywag]

As much as I hate to admit it, McGahee is looking pretty good here getting change of pace carries.

[Stumpy]

:word


As much as I hate to admit it, McGahee is looking pretty good here getting change of pace carries.

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

Why do we continue to put carr out there
:word

[CRZA938]

:word

I agree as well. It's almost like our O isn't ready for the O that Cam wants us to be just yet.

[ravenjoe]

As much as I hate to admit it, McGahee is looking pretty good here getting change of pace carries.

Why do you hate to admit it...I've been waiting for him to get more touches. for weeks now. The Ravens are at fault for not getting the 3-headed monster in play.

[Rolfejr]

Why is it 16-0 and I am not relaxed!

[HoustonRaven]

As much as I hate to admit it, McGahee is looking pretty good here getting change of pace carries.

13 yards constitutes looking pretty good?

[FellsPointRaven]

Gordon - I trust this has now made it worth your while staying up.

First half - :grbac:

Second half - :happyanim

Lady Quinn simultaneously hitting the deck and shitting his pants at the sight of Ray bearing down on him - :roll:

[festivus]

Awesome, love it! Put some air under it next time, Ray!

[ravenwoman]

Should we happen to hold off the Browns and win tonight, I don't want to hear a win is a win, because this team has lots and lots of issues. We don't look like a Pittsburgh, or even the Bengals. And you know we cannot compete with the likes of the Colts.

[RavenScallywag]

Don't forget he also had a nice 13 yard run called back on a phantom holding call...

I hate to say it because Manita will be beating the dead horse again this week, saying "Get McGahee the ball more". I do like getting him involved, but I also think Ray Rice is too hot a hand to take off the field most of the time.

[Stumpy]

13 yards constitutes looking pretty good?

Just a different run style and look to give the Cle D

[CRZA938]

13 yards constitutes looking pretty good?

Well, and there was the 15 yard run called back due to a BS holding call on Birk. I would say he looks pretty good as well. He hasn't had a whole lot of opportunities.

[Flipping Birdie]

Are they showing basketball highlights from the 90's?

[RvnFanInIndy]

OK, out here in Indianapolis, thanks to the "miracle" of AM radio, I was able to hear the Cleveland radio broadcast of the game while I was at work. The hometown broadcast was sucking less Cleveland d!ck than those morons on MNF!!! If it was ever more apparent of an anti-Baltimore slant from ESPN, I'd like to see proof!!!

[Stumpy]

At least 1 Ohio team can beat Shittsburg.... "sign at game" funny shit

[CRZA938]

Awesome, love it! Put some air under it next time, Ray!

I would rather see us complete a 3rd and 2 in a more conventional manner (we need the work).

[HoustonRaven]

Would you rather us say "Enjoy it now, pack in the rest of the season"? We can't keep playing like this, but this 2nd half has looked a lot better. Even when we're not converting 3rd downs, we're at least getting more creative now.

What I want is the coaches to figure out why we can't do this in the FIRST half of games. If we play like this through two halves, we're up 34-0 right now, thinking about next week already.

[baltimore_hokie]

Kruger knocks down the third down pass, followed by Gruden commenting that Harbaugh is excited about his progress. Interesting...

[HoustonRaven]

If it was ever more apparent of an anti-Baltimore slant from ESPN, I'd like to see proof!!!

I was just about to write the opposite.

Jaws might as well be blowing Flacco. He cant shut up about him.

[Stumpy]

Holy shit he ran one back... only 1 yard, but he didn't fair catch it.

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

Carr actually tried to run it back no fair catch:happyanim

[UKRavenGordon]

Gordon - I trust this has now made it worth your while staying up.

First half - :grbac:

Lady Quinn simultaneously hitting the deck and shitting his pants at the sight of Ray bearing down on him - :roll:


Indeed it has. Would never have gone to bed while the game was on, but 13 points in 17 seconds wakes you up!

[808 Raven]

Wow. Carr actually tried to return the ball.

[BArellano]

Suggs sprained knee. Doubtful to return.... that could be bad.

[808 Raven]

Nakamura, Suggs, and now possibly Pryce injured? Not good.

[RavenScallywag]

ESPN has been jacking off Cleveland and the Browns most of the game. They've said nice things about us too, but it's pretty ridiculous some of the things they've said about Cleveland and Brady Quinn.

[RvnFanInIndy]

Hmmm.....for the 10-15 minutes that I've been home, it's been a Brown-Fest. Maybe I just haven't heard enough.....oh wait....yes I have. Think I'll go sit in the car and listen to the homers in Cleveland cry a little more.:34853_waah:

[Stumpy]

Suggs sprained knee. Doubtful to return.... that could be bad.


Think Quinn with get fined for that hit??? It will cost us a shit ton of money.

[Rolfejr]

It has been unusually slanted, I had to double check if the Ravens were even playing!

[RavenScallywag]

Facemask on the OFFENSE!? I've almost never heard that one before.

Still with the damn undisciplined penalties.

[BlackSunday]

ESPN's gotta talk up the Browns. The unvarnished truth would be too grim.

BS

[RavenScallywag]

Conservative play calls now...just trying to run this game out it looks like.

[ravenjoe]

Rice, you can't get pulled down with one arm, damn it!

[HoustonRaven]

I dont know what game you all are watching ....

This is, by far, the most amount of props we have got from any announcing team.

It's very clear all three guys have great respect for us and the organization.

[Dade]

This has to be the most boring game ever. The D has been solid but this offense is terrible. The play calling leaves alo o be imagine. I'm going to bed.

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

We have gotta come out strong to beat colts and these injuries are not what we need.

[Stumpy]

Not bad, but the other option is to talk about the Stains talent pool, or shoudl I say puddle (Cribbs and Rodgers)

[Galen Sevinne]

this game has felt like watching a preseason game.

[Stumpy]

this game has felt like watching a preseason game.

yes it has that feel

[Rolfejr]

Two "props" would qualify your statement!

:)

[BlackSunday]

SF in 2007 was also soporific.

Lots of empty seats there, BTW. Guess they're all out clubbing already.

BS

[HoustonRaven]

True.

But they are throwing out stuff like "Flacco will be in the pro bowl some day", giving Ozzie all kinds of props, talking up Bisciotti, etc.

[BArellano]

Great coverage by Carr. :eek:

[Galen Sevinne]

Quinn might be the most inaccurate passers I have ever seen.

[Stumpy]

True.

But they are throwing out stuff like "Flacco will be in the pro bowl some day", giving Ozzie all kinds of props, talking up Bisciotti, etc.

It would be really rude to talk too much about other teams than the ones playing... so you have the Stains or us... lesser of two evils at this point.

[RavenScallywag]

Here's the breakdown to me...

35% Talking up the Browns
25% Talking up the Ravens
40% Talking about themselves in their older days.


100% boring

[808 Raven]

Glad to see Pryce back in.

[baltimore_hokie]

Quinn might be the most inaccurate passers I have ever seen.

Oakland Raiders fans (or anyone that has watched a Raiders game in the past two years) may disagree with you on that one.

Man, Chris Carr just can't do anything right. He is just not a good football player.

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

Webb needs to stay in the game he is out performing everyone

[Stumpy]

webb needs to stay in the game he is out performing everyone

ironman!!!

[Galen Sevinne]

I used to like Gruden but he annoying me tonight. jaws tirico have been fine...I think it is Gruden who seems to have left his heart in cleveland

[RavenScallywag]

Ok I changed my mind...Carr, just FC everything from now on.

JEEZ, I was sure he had fumbled that one.

[HoustonRaven]

Can Carr and Haushka share a bus ticket?

[Rolfejr]

here's the breakdown to me...

35% talking up the browns
25% talking up the ravens
40% talking about themselves in their older days.


100% boring

Bingo !

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

Can Carr and Haushka share a bus ticket?

I agreee

[Big Bird]

Gotta git up early in am. Goin crabbin. We got it won

Can't say it was a good game, BUT it was a W. Nite all....

[RavenScallywag]

Back to boring, just plain vanilla runs, running down the clock.

Suppose I can't complain, no need to take shots here.

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

glad to get the win, just wanna go into next week knowing that we can actually contend with the colts

[Stumpy]

glad to get the win, just wanna go into next week knowing that we can actually contend with the colts

Don't know if we can contend, but it makes next week mean something.

[Rolfejr]

Good Night All!
And Good Morning UK!

Off to bed and hoping Peyton Manning doesn't show up in Cleveland for a guest spot!

[Better than Boller]

So i cant be the only one thinking this, but does anyone think there is something wrong with Flacco? is there any chance he might be sick or anything? ive never seen him play so scared before

[Merlin]

Joining from the UK today online since they don't show MNF live on the local stations . .

[4G63]

This has got to be one of the worst wins I've ever seen...absolutely terrible.

:ralph::eck15:

[RavenScallywag]

his OL is playing like crap, I don't blame him.

Uh oh...Brady is finally throwing downfield...too bad it's 10 yards off.

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

Don't know if we can contend, but it makes next week mean something.

I agree playing with the game meaning something is all we can ask for. I just hope we start webb he seems to be a game changer

[Sephy]

Hi guys! Been on the road so much, haven't been home for these games. Good thing, too.

Webb looks good, though. Thank god we're playing the Browns.

[808 Raven]

Uh oh...Brady is finally throwing downfield...too bad it's 10 yards off.

Maybe Brady thought he saw Walker downfield and was hoping for a PI.

[purple bird]

We definitely need to find a way to get Kruger in our games. He is easily taking up the work of two offensive linemen. He would immensely improve the defensive front and in doing so help out the secondary.

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

has walker even been playing:)

[RavenScallywag]

Walker was active today, but haven't seen him.

I'd still play him over Carr.

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

oh yeah no pass interference calls:ww:

[808 Raven]

We definitely need to find a way to get Kruger in our games. He is easily taking up the work of two offensive linemen. He would immensely improve the defensive front and in doing so help out the secondary.

Agreed. Really makes you wonder why Harbaugh won't put him in more often.

[RavenScallywag]

JJ was quoted recently, saying he's been killing it in practice recently. So it could've just been a learning curve he finally managed to hit.

Sad to say, with Suggs and Nakamura injured, we have a spot on the active roster likely opening up for him now. Would like to see him get the spot with Suggs still in the lineup.

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

I think this short week before the colt's game we need to consider who is starting for us. We have some playmakers that could get some time that could help us.

[RavenScallywag]

2 min warning, no Cle TO left...guessing we'll run once more, then start kneeling.

nevermind...they had 1 left and took it.

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

1-2 plays and thats the game heres hoping we practice a little bit this week:beer:

[RavenScallywag]

turnover on downs...Brady Quinn has 20 seconds to get some points.

Come on Brady, just throw one deep, I dare you! Webb needs an INT TD.

[RavenScallywag]

Raining boos in Cleveland...could they turn to Cribbs at QB???

One more throw should do it...

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

looks like the sideline is playing according to quinn

[808 Raven]

Come on Brady, just throw one deep, I dare you! Webb needs an INT TD.

Brady has to throw the ball in the field of play first :laugh:

[4G63]

Brady Quinn can't even throw it inbounds...god, he is terrible!

[RavenScallywag]

hahaha, Royal looking for someone to lateral to, everyone walking off...Ray Lewis OWNS him on the tackle.

Game...not proud, but at least we pick up win #5. Let's start carving this team for next week against the Colts.

We start as a wad of cookie dough, we need to be made out of solid oak.

[myfavoriteboxer]

The game ends with the announcers having to make the observation that if you're throwing a hail mary, one of your goals is to have the pass stay in bounds. Dreadful, dreadful game. Whose bright idea was it to nationally televise this?

[UKRavenGordon]

At least we won. Wasn't pretty but we're 5-4 going into the toughest 3 game stretch on the schedule. Good night all!

[STONECOLDRAVEN]

a Win is a Win.

Untill next week:happyanim

[StingerNLG]

Yes, a win is a win. But I don't feel good about it at all. The Browns had nothing on offense and gave no fight.

The Colts are going to destroy us.

[Purpleguy]

We have the worst receivers and worst kicker in the NFL.

[RavenScallywag]

Our D wasn't too bad. Webb is looking like the real deal more and more. Granted, the Browns WR are about the crappiest you'll find, but our DBs weren't out of position and we kept them well covered. Only big play they had was that Massaquoi 30 yard catch, which was just a gamble tackle which missed.

It's our offense that worries me more.

[RavenScallywag]

We have the worst receivers and worst kicker in the NFL.

I disagree, I think the Browns have the worst receivers, though the problem tonight was the QB.

Kicker is probably true.

[Neelson88]

was anyone else really impressed w/ webb this week?

[StingerNLG]

The only receiver to catch anything tonight was Derrick Mason.

Wow.

[Purpleguy]

The only receiver to catch anything tonight was Derrick Mason.

Wow.

I really wish Mason would have retired. I love the guy, but it would have forced Ozzie to do SOMETHING at the position. Of course I think Drew bennett was Ozzie's answer to a Mason retirement.

[RavenScallywag]

Webb has been stepping up every week...I mean, let's not fool ourselves, he's not covering the team's #1 guy. He's relegated either to covering the slot or maybe the #2...And we're seeing him as the blitzing CB a lot of times. But he's been good as a physical presence.

I'm just unsure who we should match him up against next week. I'm sure a lot of people will want to match him up against Wayne, but you have to remember he's still a rookie. Wayne would thrive for that matchup. I would put Foxworth on Wayne, Webb on Garcon, and F.Washington on Collie. We're going to definitley have to keep Reed or Landry on Clark at all times too. This is definitley a tough group of WRs we've got coming up.

That said, I think you've seen some tuning out of Fabian and Foxworth since the bye weeks. The Colts game last year is the one I keep pointing to about the decision to go with fast,, cover corners over the "shutdown" type corner, because CMac got beat bad by Wayne last year. So I really hope our CBs are up for this matchup because THIS IS THE REASON WE SIGNED THEM (IMO).
