Everyone called me crazy for loving the Browns this week.

who exactly is everyone?

**imgv94** · 09-24-06, 06:20 PM

alot of people on other forums, alot of my friends. My dad almost everyone I knew had the Ravens..

**isetcap** · 09-24-06, 06:25 PM

Not everyone. I specifically stated the only play in this game was Cleveland or nothing. Never take Baltimore when they have to go to Cleveland. That is an absolute rule.

**imgv94** · 09-24-06, 06:27 PM

isetcap you and I see eye to eye on alot things in the NFL.

**McBa1n** · 09-24-06, 06:44 PM

I had Balt on the moneyline
Woo! we all win!
Phew, what a way to hit it, too.

**bigboydan** · 09-24-06, 06:46 PM

McBa1n you really lucked out on that one. I thought for sure you were gonna lose that one.

**McBa1n** · 09-24-06, 06:57 PM

If the Browns don't turn the ball over - yep.
The Ravens pulled it out of their arse, that's for sure.
Hehe - I'll take it.
That one kept today from being devastatingly bad instead of just a tiny loser.
Almost a 4 unit swing with that luck right there.

Crennell should have run the ball 3 times inside the 5, made them burn the timeouts and kicked the FG to go up 5 with 2 minutes left. The Ravens would have been hard-pressed to score a TD with no timeouts and 2 minutes on the clock. Can't risk the end zone pass in that spot with an inexperienced QB. Going to be a long season for Cleveland. 0-3 already with two losses at home.

I got the game on tape, but haven't watched it yet. I gotta see it to believe it.

WTG Browns ATS backers, I was sold on the Ravens.

**Jay Edgar** · 09-24-06, 09:58 PM

Bro, as you well know, if we made NFL picks on nothing more than the following principle -- "which play will cause the most people to call me crazy?" -- we would do just fine.

**imgv94** · 09-24-06, 10:39 PM

Good one Jay Edgar. I sure have missed you bro.. Definitely one of my favs here..

**slacker00** · 09-25-06, 10:23 PM

I watched the game this morning. I've gotta factor in the "emotion factor" more into my handicapping. The Browns were absolutely more amped for this game. The Ravens almost seemed to be sleepwalking in the first half. Lots of dropped balls & missed tackles. The Ravens did just enough to win this game in the end.

I agree 100%. That was one of the dumbest coaching decisions I have seen in a long, long time.

If i could do it all again I'd still take the ravens to beat the spread !
Damned browns

Whereas if I could go back in time I would do a two team parlay with Cleveland +7 and the Under.
