Playoffs

After we lost to the Rams I said that we'd need to win the next 4 games and not have to go into Cincinnati the final week and have to win. We're half way there!
Poor Bill Callahan has his hardest work of the season the week of Xmas with the possibility of only having 1 starter on the offensive line available. Insult to injuries, this is also a week the Browns have to go on the road. The good news is this is just 1 knucklehead's take.
Last Sunday, I saw a big drop in Dunn's performance after seeing him play extremely well vrs SF filling in for Bitonio. I'm guessing that even though he's back with us off IR - he's still not healthy enough to be his usual reliable fill-in. Nick Harris weighs closer to 290 than 300 and it looked like he got bullied and rag-dolled way more than my confidence in him expected. I think he also got dinged up on top of all that. Lucky for him, he's a pretty good FB. Like always, there's options and chances of a starter returning to action like Pocic at Center or Bitonio at Guard or both. We could also consider playing Ohio State Rookie Center Luke Wypler at Center or Guard if need be. I think he played and practiced at both in the preseason. Syd mentioned Alex Leatherwood as an option so that's an alternative to my idea at Guard. Of course, there's always the possibility that Dunn can play more like the guy we've seen in the past than last week. The blessing in all of this is we have Bill Callahan in charge of the line whether it's healthy or looking like we got it at a garage sale.
Back in the day, I played next to a Tackle that was an animal with the brains of a pet rock. One day he caught me completely off guard during a game with this "If they ain't cryin we ain't tryin. Guess what? They're cryin!" I didn't have the heart to ask him - are you sure that wasn't me? He wouldn't have known I was only kidding and who says I was really kidding? ?

Don't want to be a downer after such a big win, but the running game still wasn't there. Hasn't been there for weeks. O-line just barely holding up long enough for Flacco and Coop to make magic happen.
What do we think the chances a quality lineman is cut between now and then, and we pick him up? Or two!

I'm not sure how much longer Bitonio will be out. Maybe they are cautious and rest him vs the NYJ?
Yes, we're all concerned about the rushing game. Thank goodness for Bill Callahan, in spite of the deficiencies due to injuries they're moving the football.
Unbelievable credit has to be given to the coaching staff, & ultimately the players who have busted their butts. Amazing season so far, keep it going Browns.

If the Browns end up with the best wildcard record, their 1st round opponent would be the winner of the AFC South. That's pretty fricken cool!
Before I invest in that fully, the Browns HAVE to beat the Jets.

I believe a W is all they need to clinch #5, with a win wee play for nothing in bengals week unless Miami upsets Baltimore

Hurts to think of what this team could have been if there was even reasonable health.
The AFC would have run through CLE and you'd likely have locked up a #1 seed with home field.

Yeah and maybe a better approach to personnel? Anyway here's the latest playoff clickbait

I think the dolphins/ravens will be quite a good game, better than the 9ers disaster.
But I do think the ravens win that one, if not then the Steelers always screw with the ravens so that scenario is possible.
Either way I have basically 0 confidence in the things falling in our favor to win the AFCN. Would love it, but I just can’t see the ravens losing out at this point. I just would want them to lose to the dolphins so they have to play starters in week 18

...but then we wouldn't have Flacco.
As fun as a story it has been, I'd rather a healthy starting lineup than a 38 year old Flacco.
