vmax Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 Ravens versus Browns. Sunday night at 8 PM. At the Bank. Ravens win percentage 61.2. At 6-5 the Browns are circling the drain. The Browns have two remaining games with the Ravens, and one each with the Raiders, Packers, Steelers, and Bengals. A Sunday night loss and they fall to 6-6 and the Ravens go to 8-3 and with five games remaining for the Browns, their chances of making the playoffs become very slim. A win however can quickly get them back in the hunt and put them only one game behind the Ravens. That's how quickly things can change. It's just as much a "must win" game for the Ravens because it's a divisional rival and the Bengals are currently only one game behind the Ravens. It looks like it's going to be a dogfight for the next month to see who wins the AFC North. The Ravens barely beat the Bears with a paper thin roster that exposed a lot of holes and weaknesses. We will see as the week progresses who comes back healthy for the Ravens, Hopefully Brandon Williams will be back to help in stopping Chub. because at the moment the Browns can only count on their run game. Will Brown, Averett, Smith be back? Other than Mayfield, it looks like the Browns are getting healthier. "Here. Let me fix that other shoulder," Any way that I look at it, this game is a toss up. It's a 12th man night and they are giving the fans some kind of color changing, interactive bracelet that is guaranteed to make you feel so 5th Ave styling that you will march home proud, with your chest out and show it off to your family and friends. Yanda will be there as the Ravens Legend of the Game. Maybe he can get that line to road grade. Oh...it will be cold.

oldno82 Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 Two banged up teams trying to survive long enough to make it to the playoffs. Either team can win this game but I'm picking the Ravens if Lamar comes back. As you said the home field advantage is with us. Quote
varaven45 Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 Our home field advantage should be big Sunday night. However, with the Cleveland fan base starting to sour on Mayfield, you almost wonder if he would prefer to play this game away. Also, what is happening with Lamar? Is he cleared to practice ? Quote
vmax Posted November 24, 2021 Author Posted November 24, 2021 Lamar was at walk throughs yesterday. We'll know more today. From what I hear he's healthy. Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) Big week for the AFC North. Steelers (5-4-1) at Bengals (6-4) Browns (6-5) at Ravens (7-3) Who's winning in Week 12? This should make your morning coffee taste better..... John Harbaugh's candidacy for NFL Coach of the Year is second to none. 7-3 through 11 weeks (1st in AFC North) Has had as many as 17 players on IR Lost 6 starters to season-ending injuries Orchestrated 4 wins by 3 points or less 1 win with backup QB. Gutsy. Imagine calling Ravens’ win luck while missing QB1, WR1, LT1, RB1-3, CB2-4, DT1, FS1, etc Ravens create their own “luck” by developing depth & a culture where teammates & coaches don’t turn on each other when things look bleak. Ravens don’t quit or give excuses. Quote
vmax Posted November 24, 2021 Author Posted November 24, 2021 Here's how important Sunday night is... Jamison Hensley on Twitter “The Ravens currently have a 59% chance to win the AFC North, per ESPN's Football Power Index. With a win over Browns on Sunday night, the Ravens improve their chances of winning the division to 72%. A loss to the Browns decreases the Ravens' chances to win the AFC North to 39%.” Quote
vmax Posted November 24, 2021 Author Posted November 24, 2021 Jamison Hensley on Twitter “In addition to Lamar Jackson and Marquise Brown, NT Brandon Williams (shoulder) returned to practice after missing the last three games. LB Malik Harrison was also back practicing after being designated to return off Non-Football Injury list. He was shot in the calf on Oct. 31.” Quote
oldno82 Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 Great news on all 3 Ravens returning. We'll need them all over the next 7 weeks. Quote
vmax Posted November 25, 2021 Author Posted November 25, 2021 “Ravens had 9 players not practicing Wednesday: DE Calais Campbell (concussion) FB Patrick Ricard (hip, foot) CB Anthony Averett (thigh) OL Patrick Mekari (ankle) CB Jimmy Smith (neck) CB Chris Westry (thigh) CB Tavon Young (foot, knee) OL Cedric Ogbuehi WR Miles Boykin (finger)” Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 When are they going to street Boykin? He is just a waste of space. It will not hurt to cut him. Quote

I had no idea about Campbell being hurt and boy do we need a CB! Quote
vmax Posted November 25, 2021 Author Posted November 25, 2021 Yea...and Humphry was the only CB to practice! Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 26, 2021 Posted November 26, 2021 https://www.yahoo.com/news/ravens-safety-ar-darius-washington-192400259.html The defensive backfield is really falling apart. Also anyone taking the light rail will have som3 issues. Quote
vmax Posted November 27, 2021 Author Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) I don't see how the Ravens can win Sunday night.... DL Calais Campbell, 4 cornerbacks among Ravens questionable vs. Browns; QB Lamar Jackson set to play (msn.com) Edited November 27, 2021 by vmax Quote
vmax Posted November 27, 2021 Author Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Quote In terms of players able to participate in the game, the Browns are as healthy as they have been all season. How some, like quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is playing through injury is still to be determined. DE Jadeveon Clowney, WR Jarvis Landry and DT Malik Jackson are some of the other players dealing with nagging injuries. The Browns have their bye week after the Ravens game, so they hope to be able to muster up a major effort that enables them to get a victory, get to 7-5 heading into the bye week, which would put them in better position to make the postseason, potentially competing for the AFC North title.Browns Activating Kareem Hunt, Jack Conklin, Two Questionable for Ravens Game (msn.com) In Cleveland, Anthony Schwartz (concussion) was ruled out. Fellow wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin), who’s second on the Browns in receiving yardage, is questionable along with reserve cornerback Troy Hill (questionable). Starting quarterback Baker Mayfield (left shoulder/foot/groin) is expected to play after fully practicing Thursday and Friday.DL Calais Campbell, 4 cornerbacks among Ravens questionable vs. Browns; QB Lamar Jackson set to play (msn.com) Edited November 27, 2021 by vmax Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 Campbell is prob out. I don't see how you can clear the protocol with so little time left. Hunt being active is huge. They can go 2 back and split hunt out wide on plays if they want. I have to l9ok at my ff roster and see if I want to activate him. Quote
cravnravn Posted November 28, 2021 Posted November 28, 2021 Mayfield has knee/ankle shoulder issues, couple pops by Oweh and company should wipe out their passing game. Contain chubb, he's going to get his 100 yards but keep them out of the endzone. Make them kick 3s. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted November 28, 2021 Posted November 28, 2021 It sounds like hunt is coming back this week. I would get them in 2 back sets and split hunt out wide a bunch since they are light at wr. Don't forget their ol is great and affords a lot of protection. Quote

Har rass him...pressure him but Hands off! There is HOPE!!!! Jamison Hensley on Twitter “The Ravens (7-3) play host to the Browns (6-5) on Sunday night football. Baltimore is an NFL-best 17-2 (.895) in home primetime games in the John Harbaugh era.
