Next up.....Jags
-
Thanks for the analysis. I was just starting to think about the game this weekend and I realized that outside of MAYBE 4 players (fantasy football guys) I knew nothing about the Jags. I know it's cliche, but I do have some concern about playing down to their level after a huge rivalry win. It's seemingly good though to have lost the guys last week we did as we have a chance to build chemistry against a weaker team. I really hope the defense continues building momentum off of last week's win as well as these next three weeks could REALLY boost moral in that group.
I see this game being closer than what it should be early, but foresee a win 31-17 win.

I don't expect the browns to take them lightly. I expect something along the lines of 38-10.
Browns should be beaming with confidence, and play like it.

4 point favorites? Think I'm gonna bet that.
Jacksonville sucks. We should have smashed them last year. We are much better (we no longer have Weeden) they are not. We should win easy.
I hope we throttle them and build on our confidence and don't get too confident. I don't see that happening but until we throw more complete games together (and not just great halves) I'll be cautious.
I'll take 31-13

I have actually watched two Jaguars games in their entirety this season (the only AFC game on in this area and the wife refuses to have a sat dish on the house). They are without question the worst NFL team I have ever watched. The have no one who is an offensive threat outside of Bortles and if you can name half the guys that start for them on defense off the top of your head (no Google, no rosters) I'd buy you a steak. The O-line is unbelievably bad... I actually thought that they might hold Bortles out this season just to save him from getting his ass kicked every week. The craziest part of this week's game is on the local radio down here before the season started, there were people legitimately talking about the Jags making the playoffs. And not just drunk call-ins... there were dudes who are paid to work at radio stations who actually believed the Jags could make the playoffs this year.

Still possible, just win out after the Browns beat them 27-17I have actually watched two Jaguars games in their entirety this season (the only AFC game on in this area and the wife refuses to have a sat dish on the house).

I was surprised we are only for 4 point favorites ... which means Vegas thinks were are 7 points better. We should win by ten or more. I thought Jax would be an improved team this year, after the way they ended the season last year, bu the run game has been bad, Bortles is learning on the job and the defense is a disappointment.
Then again, I thought we would wax them last there ... but we weren't a real team then.

It's creeping up.... should be 7 by the end of week....right now betting is strong on the Browns, so many odds are at 5 to 6 and climbing....

I've seen the Brown play in Florida on multiple occasions but have yet to see them win. I'm looking forward to my first time watching the boys win a game here in Florida. Don't let me down!!!

The experienced gamblers will throw down $$ early and that will force that line up a fair bit very soon.
Edit: this game worries me from an offensive stand point. We won't miss Mack so much in the run game, but pass protection will suffer. Last I checked, the Jags have a pretty good pass rush as well.

I guess the result of this game goes hand in hand with Mike Pettine and this staff's coaching this week.
If these coaches are as good as we think, this game shouldn't be close.

I believe that the coach's success is already showing in spades...
The fact that we got our asses handed to us in the first half at Pitts and Tenn, then came out and kicked their asses, SHOWS me that this team has character...and I think it's the coaching......last year we kicked ass in the first 1/2, then lost....over and over again...
And after that record setting come back in Tenn, you'd almost expect a let down. But, no....We came home, worked hard, showed improvement and had our best game yet...kicking the crap out of pitts
So...all this, plus the home opener - Pitts losing streaks broken.....tells me Pettine looks like the man...
-
Would require you guys falling asleep at the wheel and us playing a near perfect game to see anything other then a blow out Sunday.
-
Everything on paper says we should win...and that's exactly what scares me.
-
The jags always seem to have the browns number too
-
As all Browns fans know, we can never make these type of games look easy. Bortles not good with pressure in his face, but were not getting enough from our D either. Lots of screens, Shorts lll, Hurns good 2nd WR. Cover clean and must tackle. Bortles 3 turnovers BROWNS 24 Rags 16. Go Dawgs!!

Local radio predicting a Jags win this weekend... however, the only rationale that could be given was "The Jags have to win a game sometime, why not this one?"

They don't have to win sometime.

I've already seen Reporters breaking down the Browns vs Tampa (by passing the Raider game) already.
If the Team gets anything like this is their heads, plus a possible let down after a big victory, this could be a really tough game.
I still don't know what our D is really going to be like, with all the injuries it's even harder to get a good read.
This is another road game too, so we still need to build some momentum on winning those - Tenn was the first in a year.
-
I agree that the D is a question mark, but I still feel like going into this week, it will be enough to contain the Jags. The already horrible Jags running game may be worse for wear this week (according to reports Toby Gerhart missed practice again yesterday). Bortles has shown glimpses of pretty good quarterback play, especially if you account for the awful line in front of him; but he has also shown the tendency to make some bad rookie mistakes and it ends up costing his team in the form of interceptions and missed opportunities. I hope that the Browns come to town with the mentality that they are the superior team (something that we've not been able to say very often) and go about the business of crushing any hope the Jags have from the get-go.
