As much grief that I constantly give to my friends who are Browns fans by calling their team the "CLOWNS," the Ravens better not lose this game. I'm already looking over my shoulder (for those friends) prior to Sunday's matchup:

So looks like Hamilton and Hill primed to be ready for Sunday as well.

OBJ, Bateman, Ojabo and Oweh trending on the wrong side.

Bateman is such a big what if for me. He was relatively healthy in college, wasn't he?

He's never shown me he'd be THE guy, but he had explosive plays and certainly made the offense better in his limited time. Ravens could have had a good, young duo if he could have stayed healthy, I think.
 
Good chance that assuming everyone that has practiced this week is good to go, there is still some potential for roster reconstruction

Likely going to need to add a RB, 1-2 WRs, and probably an OLB.

Our WR group could literally end up being Flowers, Agholor, Duvernay, and Treadwell... just like we drew it up.

Four first rounders at WR sounds ideal.

Agreed. Injuries have hampered him. Also think he basically needed a big or at least good year this year, because Ravens are going to need to make a decision on 5th year option for him (and Oweh) after this season.
Right now, even when healthy, he's probably, at best, the 3rd or 4th option in the passing game, and he's not healthy at the moment.

Really would have liked to have seen him take advantage of a larger role in Week 3 (and this week) with OBJ out, but he really wasn't that much of a factor.

What's also frustrating (looking ahead) is that OBJ, Duvernay, and Agholor are all FA's next year, and you can't possibly pick up Bateman's 5th year option at the moment. So WR being a strength might only last a single year or two before we have to focus on upgrading again.

Is great to have depth this year though. Like Flowers/Agholor isn't ideal, but I don't think it's necessarily going to prevent us from winning this game either. I think the game will be almost entirely decided on the trenches. Can we run the ball, can we pass protect, and can get we get pressure on Watson.
 
Trade Bate in the off-season and don’t re-sign Odell. Extend Nelly and try and go after Mike Evans. I’m sick and tired of having oft-injured WRs. Same with the RB group

I don't have anything to add. Just wanted to say this is a spot on post.

It's getting old as shit.
 
I am legit not bothered cause Bateman hurt his hamstring while playing in the rain and the guy probably still may play on Sunday.

Well he's missed Wednesday and Thursday practices. So he'll obviously need to practice tomorrow to have any shot of playing, and even if he does, he'd probably be a game-time decision.
 
Jim Schwartz said they’re gonna be aggressive going after Lamar, and not just sit back to roll him in.

Guess we’ll see what he means

I’m almost more annoyed about RB to be honest because if we could pair an elite one with Lamar (which Dobbins would have been)…
