BSL: Previewing Week 1: Browns at Ravens

 

BSL: Quick hits and a Cleveland Week 1 Prediction

[Mike B]

12 days away.....the seasson is upon us.  It feels like something is missing, in regards to the build up and final rosters, but ready or not here comes football.  

[The Epic]

Yeah, this kinda snuck up on us.

 

I hope we get through the season, and I hope Lamar keeps it up. Got some unfinished business.

Remember when the Browns came in and destroyed the Ravens last year? I don’t, but it happened. Payback time. Start with a statement game.

Nope. Didn't happen. Can't prove it.

In a strange way that may have been a good thing.  We made changes and I also think it motivated the team.

RSR: Salty Browns Won’t be a Pushover

[Mike B]

This to me is a dangerous game.  The Browns have not screwed up their season yet and are coming into an empty stadium.  The teams that adjust to no or minimal crowds are going to have the early advantage.

Let's go Ravens.

Odell Beckham is trending.

Hehe.

I thought he was a no.1 receiver, but looks like he’s a no. 2 receiver instead.

Gabe and I will be covering the Cleveland preview on Thursday night for a podcast, anything folks want us to talk about or take a specific look at on the podcast? 

 

I know Gabe wants to take a peek at some of what Minnesota did last year. And I plan on breaking down the game film from last year in both games for Cleveland as well.

Genuinely concerned about this game.

The Baker Mayfield redemption tour is the narrative being pushed everywhere, and I worry about this team being caught flat-footed by a team that everyone expects them to beat.

Hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them start the year with an L.

[Mackus]

Lol. I'm floored that you're pessimistic.

[JordanKough]

It'd be a pretty big let down for a team coming off a let down playoff loss to get off on the wrong foot like that...I'd be surprised if that happens. 

Maybe a few wrong bounces at the end of the game would be one thing but a team coming out looking past Cleveland would surprise me this week. 

 

Maybe a little less next week with KC coming two weeks down the road.

[Mackus]

No loss this year would be shocking, IMO. It's too chaotic with the limited practice schedule, no fans, and teams possibly dealing with outbreaks.

It's usually Any Given Sunday, but even moreso this year.

That said, I think the Ravens will be favorites to heavy favorites nearly every week.

Harbaugh always has this team ready to go out of the gate. Of course they could lose but there is no reason to be more worried than any other Sunday


The truth is the Browns probably are one of the better teams to play week 1. New coaching staff that has not had normal mini and training camps. They've also suffered some big injuries in TC.

That is true. I think with a real coaching staff they could be good. One of these days they will be, and I keep feeling like the pendulum has to swing back the other way sometime.

Balt Sun: Ravens are solid home favorites vs. Browns in season opener

[You Play to Win the Game]

Starting to get excited. And nervous. Have no idea what to expect with no pre season.
