predictions for game 1 vs carolina

Canton Dawg

I predict Schwartz will drop 2 passes that hit him in the hands.

I predict the game thread, and multiple threads after the game, will be especially spicy. ?

I'll be 3 hours away in the wilds of northwestern Pennsylvania that weekend, so you mods can breathe easily. ?

But I fully expect the Panthers to pull one out. Hope I'm wrong.

This game has all the signs of a Browns loss, especially since they rarely (oops, never) win the opener.

Therefore it's the Browns 23 Panthers 14 #woof

No way. Mayfield is toast. And why would you want the Browns to lose?

I didn't say anything about "wanting" them to lose... Mayfield is far from toast... I'm gonna gonna laugh when hes up there holding a Lombardi long before the Browns ever do...

a) state that Jordan Elliot has come back in far better position to play well than anyone would have expected.

b.) That is music to the ears for those like tia concerned about the IDL.

a) what we don't know is what Elliot's conditioning will look like late in crunch time.. ala still a slimmer Danny Shelton

b.) Garrett will get his.. If I'm to believe Clowney disliked Baker? Stunting Clowney inside to DT looks, is where the the Panthers OL is it's weakest..

I'm expecting a big game from JC ?

Flashback to Mayfield's 2019 win against the Bengals and the sideline leer he gave newly installed Hue Jackson. I think 2 things happen game 1. First, the usual Browns opening day loss and 2, Mayfield's chip in the form of presenting stefansky with the game ball.

Why would you laugh? You're either a Browns fan or looks like only a Mayfield Groupie.

Is Baker going to be named Commissioner of the NFL after Goodell?

Two QB's with new teams. One the 1st pick in the draft. The other the 91st pick. So, Browns win 91 - 1.

Because the Browns are complete idiots...

I don't bet on nor against the Browns; never have. If I did I would probably bet on them to win this game. Like a bad tooth on the flywheel eventually the starter is going to land right there. We haven't won one for a while . But a win would be for a lot of different reasons, hatred or love for any particular player doesn't factor in.

And because I like Myles Garrett I'm hoping he can refrain himself from cheap shots a la Mike Tomlin.

I'd have more confidence in the Panthers had they picked up Baker earlier and he had more time to acclimate himself to their offense, but shoulda woulda coulda. Also the Panthers are one of the worst teams in the league and I haven't seen much besides an upgraded quarterback that would make me think they had turned the corner.
