Browns fans really got a raw deal; Sipe throwing an INT in the end zone vs the Raiders when all they needed was a FG, "The drive", "The Fumble", then they hire Belichick and are looking like they are on the way back, then that weasel Modell moves them to Baltimore and they get to three Super Bowls and win two.

Then to top it off, they get a new franchise that has yet to win a playoff game.

God's speed to your MIL; hey, at least she's got you............;)...........
You forgot to mention the weasel Art Modell fired Belichick because he didn't like the fact that Belichick made his own decisions in an effort to field the best team. An ultimate what could have been.

It's a very small sample in terms of teams that he has faced more than once. He beat the Chargers in the regular season last year then lost in the playoffs. He beat Cincy twice but they're the Bengals. He beat Cleveland to end the regular season last year and is 0-1 against them this year coming in to today. So there could be some truth.
Lost to Chiefs twice as well.

He's beaten CIN three times but as you point out they are CIN.

Ravens are so frigging good. They literally do EVERYTHING well. They run inside well. They run outside well. Their QB is absolutely electric so he's another RB. They have deep threats. They have three excellent tight ends. They block well. Their QB can make basically every throw. Their D is totally solid in every way. They have the best kicker in NFL history. They've got excellent coaching. There's nothing they don't do at a top top level.

It's an excellent team. No doubt about it. Even today, they were dead in the water and now they are rolling.

And I'm out, red zone time.

The Ravens fumbled twice on that drive, once there were three Browns around the ball and the Ravens recovered, then Jackson drops it, scoops it up, runs for a first down, gets annihilated and just bounces up like he's a cyborg.

Enough is enough.

Ravens have to be the favorites to win the Super Bowl regardless of matchup.

That only changes if Jackson gets hurt or they suffer a series of debilitating injuries to multiple key position groups.

Lamar throws his running back Ingram under the bus in full view of crowd and TV audience on a handoff fumble. (Mr wonderful they’ve been describing Jackson as).
I really doubt Lamar was showing up Ingram. In everything I've read, his teammates think the world of him. Besides, on the sidelines, they looked they worked out whatever mistake was made.

I need Lamar to get 2 more passing yards and 3 more rushing yards and win to hit my stupid parlay.

Side note. I am going a 50 dollars 50/50 in Draft Kings. 11 people. I am in first place by 49 points. 174 points at present, which if you play DK you know would be an incredible full day score.

I should have joined the 1 million dollar contest. :)

That did seem like precisely the kind of hit the NFL is claiming to want to do away with. Defenseless receiver gets absolutely lit up, but no flag.

I still think BAL’s defense is mediocre. How their TEs became elite overnight I’m not sure.
Hurst and Boyle aren’t elite players, but they’re good enough to benefit from what is otherwise a great all around offense.

Andrews is a legitimately good receiving tight end. That was apparent even last year.

SEASON OVER
Calf muscle tear would likely be 3-4 weeks recovery. If that was the injury, his looked to be at the low end of the severity scale, and some "exotic" therapy like PRP might speed his healing.
