GAME THREAD - Ravens/Browns

[camdenyard]

Thank you condescendingyard knower of all things football

No, not all things. But the most freaking obvious shit, I have a pretty good handle on. Sorry you don't.

Or are you saying that Cleveland is 27-6 better than the Ravens? This isn't the goddamn New England Patriots we're getting slapped around by.

Have we even tried to stretch the defense by throwing downfield once today?

Not that it matters though. Cuz it looks like this team thought it could just roll their helmets onto the field and get a win.

Like I said before, NO excuse!!!

We can't stretch the defense by throwing downfield because McNair CAN'T throw downfield with the bad groin.

Then McNair should tell Billick so Boller can come in.

How do you know I don't? I am giving a realistic opinion that differs from yours. Cleveland is not the Browns from 7 years ago. The Ravens are not playing well and I do not believe it exists solely from lack of preparation. The Browns are trying too.

I am not questioning you I just disagree with your opinion and yet you must try to devalue me as a poster. I don't get it.

[Raven Nurse]

This is BS....Billick is an idiot!!!!

[RockyMRaven]

Then McNair should tell Billick so Boller can come in.

You might laugh when you say that, but you're absolutely right. He's hurting, and he's hurting the team. He should admit that. If Billick takes him out and Kyle doesn't do well, imagine the vitriol that will rain down on his head. If he leaves him in, well, there is plenty of vitriol to go around for that too.

I totally agree. As just about every one of us has said in the past, throwing downfield will open up the short passes as well as the running game. And while McNair should know that, and let the coach know, it's just as much Billick's fault for not seeing it.

Hell, if we're all seeing it here from our couches, why can't Billick see it?

[Raven Nurse]

Do we have a play in our playbook over 4 yards

We need to change things. I wouldn't blame Boller. He's not coming in with everything even. The kid deserves a shot. I'm just saying if Steve McNair is hurting that bad get out and rest the injury. After all if verything stays the same we will be a 500 team.

You know what . . . we suck so bad that it's almost to the point of ridiculous. I feel a hysterical laughing fit coming on. :bag:

[Sephy]

Heap's hurt. Wilcox is hurt. Down to Quinn Sypniewski at TE.

[Beerracuda]

Another question: Why are we even bothering with the play-action when we're down 21 points in the 4th qtr? What, someone might get fooled? Hardly!!!
