1-2

Date: Sep. 30, 2007

Time: 1:00 P.M ET

Key injuries for Baltimore: Pryce and Rolle are out, Ogden and Wilcox are questionable. Looks like its Corey Ivy's time to shine. Oh boy.

Key injuries for Cleveland: Baxter, Carter, McGinest, Peek and Winslow are all questionable, putting an end to the much hyped storyline of Gary Baxter facing the team that released him. Unless that's just what Romeo Crennel wants us to think, and this is all just a clever ploy to trick Billick into creating a game plan that doesn't address the all-encompassing skillset of Gary Baxter. Shrewd move, Mr. Crennel. You truly are a master at the art of strategizing.

Key commentating storyline: Jamal Lewis faces his former team in the midst of what appears to be a healthy season for him and the Browns. I've heard the talking heads say that Jamal will be motivated to do some real damage on sunday with a monster performance, and exact some sort of stirring retribution for being let go, proving that the move was a mistake. That doesn't really sound like Jamal.

Prediction: Baltimore 17, Cleveland 10. The Ravens will control this game thoroughly and the defense will dominate up until the end of the game, where the entire team will lapse and make the final score seem closer than the game ever was. Yup, going out on a limb with that one.

As a member of the Ravens, Jamal Lewis always dominated the Browns. He will hope to continue that trend on Sunday.

Baltimore will hope for more pose-worthy plays courtesy of Ed Reed. Dude just looks good in black

This... doesn't look good. The gamecast can give a one-sided interpretation of things, but 14-0 in the 1st quarter can't mean anything positive

Ed Reed has been an absolute monster this year. You can pencil him in for a game-changing play or two every week

Its like they're trying to throw the game away. Rather successfully, I might add

i'm resigned to the fact that unless he makes it to the endzone it probably won't be a game changing play

Two red zone stands, two field goals. Shoot for those stars, Billick.

Billick is (Please Use More Appropriate Word). McNair is hesitant in the pocket. O-line is breaking down, and defense needs to get to the QB. Not looking good.

Sorry for not being around, game-time. Very busy schedule.

Anyway, what a disappointing game. It's pretty evident that the Ravens only do well when we start with a lead, and are just embarrassing when we're behind and needing to catch up.

McNair is really showing his age right now, as this was the first and only time I've ever ASKED for Boller to beput in.

Also, Ogden really needs to get in the F'n game. He can't ride this injury any longer, and it's pretty obvious how our QB does when he isn't there.

Rolle's absence was detrimental and McAlister played piss poor for the 1st time this season.

All-in-all, a completely forgetful game that I don't ever want to remember (but hey - at least Pittsburgh lost and the Bengals are facing what could be the best team ever assembled in the Partiots).
