…......... Rush / G Pass / G Sack Run D / G Pass D / G Sack Give/Take Browns 160 1st 236 21st 25th 85 5th 225 13th 2nd 0 Patriots 107 15th 254 10th 13th 109 15th 231 16th 13th +2
Bill Belichick looks at these stats and says, "#1 rushing team, 21st ranked passing team. I'll take away their run and make them beat us with the pass." He's a pig-headed sum-bitch. He will load up and stop the run with everything he's got, 12 guys in the box if he has to.
And on offense, if he finds a play that works, he will run that thing until you learn how to stop it. So you'd better figure out how to stop it, and fast.
The Patriots have a fairly balanced offense. Top 10 in passing with their rookie QB. And they're respectable at protecting their new QB. But we have to disrespect that. Myles & Co. have to rattle the rookie. Last week we dialed up some exotic blitzes. You know Bill has studied that tape. Perhaps he'll try to run the ball down our 5th ranked throats.
Mac Jones has done a nice job for them so far in his rookie season. And we've taken quite a hit on offense this week, losing Chubb and Felton. It's gotta be D'Ernest. He's gotta find holes, be productive and stay ding-free all game long. And without Felton, that just leaves us with the 4 WR's, and Ja'Marcus Bradley, whom they just elevated from the PS. He most probably won't see the field unless somebody gets hurt.
This will not be like the Bengals. The Patriots D is much better than Cincy's. Although the stats show them as middle of the league, they've got a pretty good D.
This is an AFC playoff contending rival of ours this year. We cannot lose to them and award them a tiebreaker. We cannot fall to 500. It's a Must Win.

Couple of observations... The difference between being #10 in passing and #23 is 18 yards per game... I'll call that one statistically insignificant. Especially since the only teams with more rushing attempts than the Browns are the Cardinals and Titans. If Chubb can't go, I do wonder what in the heck the Browns can do to spell Johnson.
Yes Mac Jones IS having a nice year- for a rookie... But take a look at who they've played... A collection of bottom feeders. Jets- twice. Dolphins. Texans. Only had 139 yards passing against the Panthers- didn't need to do much, as Sam Darnold was actively gifting the game to them. Only decent team they've beaten is the Chargers.
I'll disagree that the Patriots defense is that much better than the Bengals. But another must win game for the Browns? Yup- losing to the Steelers gives us very little margin for error- or losses.

With losses to the Steelers, Chargers, and Chiefs already, what do you think the Browns need to go down the stretch to make the playoffs?
I'm thinking it could be 6-2, to go 11-6 for the season.
That's a tall order for a schedule as tough as they have.
Definitely tough but it is what it is. Pretty obvious the Browns path probably lies in the division games...with 4 of those left they need 3 Ws there for sure. Laying an egg against Pitt really stunk 2 weeks ago. The Cincy game last week shocked me, I didn't see that coming at all.
The AFC is so tight. I'm looking forward to this NE game, although the last 2 Browns trips up there weird stuff happened.

The promising thing is that while 6-2 vs the remaining schedule sounds daunting, I feel pretty good about the Browns winning the next two.
4-2 in the last six sounds way easier.

I don't know if we can even afford 2 more losses. Losing at home to the Steelers really hurt. I think that our chances of playoffs are slim with games against the Ravens remaining. But we certainly cannot afford a loss this week to the Patriots.

If the Browns lose this Sunday vs the Patriots, their path to the playoffs gets treacherous.
I mean, three remaining games vs the Steelers and Ravens and a road game on Christmas Day in Green Bay ain't no joke.

before Friday's Practice...
Bill must want to win on this too.. Good to see Greedy working it out.. Need ya DPJ & #95 !
I get that Chubb is OUT (opps! not official).. Does D. Felton or John Kelly have any chance of activating from Covid list? New RB Brian Hill is sitting on PS
stay tuned
Let's Be nice...Ashley is a new writer (& free)... Pats RB's aren't healthy either.. Patriots defense is my bother...

If Chubb and Felton can't play....
I wonder how much we will see Janovich..........
he isn't just a blocking fullback.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Janovich
I expect some cool surprises by the Browns....
and a win.
Because I bet a huge Patriot fan (still, after "pretty" Tom Brady left for the Bucs) in North Carolina that the Browns would win.
A best friend's daughter - she lives there...... she laughed and made the bet.
so, it's ON. But I can afford to pay up a dollar if the refs throw the game. LOL

I know we don’t seem to scheme up anything well against Lamar…but the Ravens are very vulnerable this year…to the point where I can see a Steeleresque kind of slide.
