Can hardly tell Houshmandzadeh is on the team. Boldin had a good first game though.
I don't know if they will put up 600 yards offense but I'm pretty confident Flacco will break out of his doldrums. He'll have ALL day to survey our secondary and find his open receivers. Our only pass rush threat, Marcus Bernard, was out injured yesterday so who knows if he'll be effective or even play.

I think the Browns are going to cover because I don't see the Ravens offense as being that effective. I actually think Rice will benefit much more then Flacco by facing the Browns. Our pass defense has been decent (albeit against bad QBs) but we're 25th against the run against equally bad RBs. And both games the other team has had to come from behind so they weren't just running the ball to kill time, they were throwing.

Yeah, Housh only had one catch against the Jets and none against the Bengals. Boldin and Heap have caught the majority of the balls so far. I never expect the Ravens to throw up 600 yards of offense but I can't believe the O is really as bad as it has appeared so far this year.

I do expect to see some James Davis at RB for the Browns to try to provide a spark to their running game. How that will work is news to me. The only way I think the Browns have a chance is if they can beat Baltimore's secondary through the air.

The Raven's secondary has been upgraded as Cary Williams comes back from suspension. He had a couple picks in preseason. I know that doesn't mean much but I think he has more of an eye for the ball than the Raven's other secondary players. Hopefully he plays.

From watching both of Baltimore's first two games, it seems like they're using him a lot different than Cincy did. Seems like when Flacco throws to him, it's a deep route and I recall him doing a lot of damage for the Bengals on shorter, more possession-receiver sorts of routes.

Doesn't matter if they put Bonzo the Chimp out there, Robo and Massaquoi can't get any separation anyhow. Beating them with an aerial attack is more of a pipe dream than anything with our WR's.

Unfortunately, the Ravens by 14 in this one. That is probably being generous.

He was against KC when Cleveland gave him the ball.

For playing @ Baltimore, the Browns are playing fairly well. Still don't know waht the hell is going on with that defense though...Boldin was wide open that entire drive.

I see Josh Cribbs has a decent stat line today -- how is he looking on offense?

What? We actually have a chance to win this game? Of course, I am wondering how we're going to blow it.

I actually like our defense in this game. Boldin has hurt them, but our ball control has been amazing.

Wright is getting picked apart on defense.
