It looks like the Ravens are likely going to win their 22nd straight preseason game. Now the only question is why?

If Brisset gets hurt, what is the point?

Just not their year.

Save the assets.
we shall see......

Browns defense might just keep them in a lot more games than people think.

the secondary is absolutely loaded with talent and they have Garrett and Clowney on the dline.

They might not have to score a ton of points to win some games--- and with the best running game in the league they have something to rely on. Chubb is just a beast- but Hunt, Johnson and the rookie from Cincy all have talent too. A strong offensive line as well with maybe/probably the best guard duo in the league and a solid set of tackles.

Dude, I can't even watch it yet.

HBO Max keeps kicking me out.
damn....

I was worried about that so I watched live.

the one thing I worry about in this show is likeable characters and underdogs.

I read the source material of both the Game of Thrones show and this show- and there just arent that many underdogs or really likeable characters in the source material for House of the Dragon- less comedy probably.

Tyrion, Sam, even Jon Snow, Daenerys starting as a huge underdog....Jorah Mormont...Brienne, the Hound....all underdogs

This is a lot more political and more powerful people- I mean- the source material for HOD is of course a lot lot shorter- so they can put stuff in- but that is the one thing I worry about for this show.

Where do you rank this in best streaks in sports history?

From what I read this week, AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, Quez Watkins and Dallas Goedert feasted and they did that with a subpar QB.

"On July 6, Gov. Doug Ducey signed House Bill 2319 into law, which goes into effect in September. The bill makes it unlawful for a civilian to knowingly film within 8 feet of law enforcement activity, after receiving a verbal warning from police."

21 points as "feasting" is odd- esp. considering they were playing AJ Brown, and Devonta Smith against a Browns defense who did not play their top 4 DB's,- and their depth- Emerson and Green left with injuries- and none of their big pass rushers played.

but hey- you take those preseason accolades!

In 2017 the Browns were preseason champions going 4-0. Then for the regular season they went a perfect 0-16.
That had to be painful. I've seen the Chiefs have a couple of 1-15 seasons. Those are the times that test you as a fan...:lol:

Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome and Greedy Williams are a helluva top 3 corners. Safety- JJ3, Delpit.....depth with Harrison, AJ Green, Emerson.

Browns linebacking core is def. built more for the pass than the run. If their defense has an issue it will be interior line and run game linebackers. Walker and JOK are both very good in the passing game.

DT is just all young guys- have some talent- but all young guys that are unproven.

The Browns had a chance to be legendary. They could have gone 0-16 in 2016 but in typical fashion fucked it all up.

Lol man, the only thing good that comes outta seasons like that are high draft picks. And even then you're hoping to God your front office doesn't somehow fuck THAT up...

not that it means much- but this outlet has the browns as 4th for secondary units in the league.

it should be any surprise with Ward, Newsome, John Johnson III


here is PFF-- ranked them as #3
