    I'm honestly prepared for anything in tomorrow's game.

    Aliens could abduct Brian Hoyer on the 50 yard line while the Muppets have an orgy in the endzone, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit.

    The Muppet thing would surprise me. But I'd watch.

    I think their defense is somewhat over rated as far as overall results go. Yes they have some individual standout players no doubt. However they are not so great against the pass. They give up the 4th most passing yards per game in all the NFL at 274 per game. They are tied at 6th with Washington, Jacksonville, and Denver for giving up 18 passing TDs this year. We have 20 sacks this year they have 19. Scoring wise we give up 19 vs. their 22. Their run D is stout giving up about 117 yards per game with only 5 TD's.

    We will need to run enough to make play action work and torch their secondary. Our secondary is going to need to play big like the did against Cincy to keep Hopkins and Johnson in check. We need to get pressure on Mallets ass early and often. This is definitely not a cake walk but should be our game with home field advantage. The fans should be friggin insane welcoming home their FIRST PLACE BROWNS!!

    Their secondary sucks which is good news. They will probably drop their LB'ers back to try to negate some of Hoyers lanes and tell the front line it's your job to stop the run "on your way to the QB". Indy's old mentality.

    I made the decision to start West against the Texans despite not getting the start.

    I have R. Jennings(ex brown) from the Giants returning this week but got a good feeling the way West has been playing..

    Houston has been weak at the Safeties for years... thus their 2013 signing of a diminished Ed Reed. But their corners are decent.

    LBs will react to what they see... just like every opponent...

    I feel good about a smart QB versus Houston's backfield. The biggest test will be the right side of the OL.

    I don't predict a blowout, but I predict gipson gets 1+INT on an overthrow.

    Run Ben Run! Maybe they'll decide to give Tate the ball so he can let out some steam against his old team. He's motivated so let him shine tomorrow. We don't have a Peyton Manning with a ton of pro bowl weapons but the play action and Tate in Beast Mode should work against a way overrated defense. Did you see what the Steelers did to them. And Mark Sanchez found rookie Jordan Mathews for a score in their house.

    I'll be sending out positive vibes because this is a must win at home if the Browns are contenders.

    I sure hope it snows ⛄️

    It's warm down here in Tampa

    I agree with this^^

    They have a few great players, but not a great defense. Big difference. I do expect JJ to get his plays in, but he cant beat us alone.

    Wonder what the over/under is on Clowney making big plays. Probably 1. Im honestly intrigued to see him play, but not really afraid he'll do anything spectacular beyond a play or 2.

    And the stadium should be ROCKING TODAY BABY!!!

    May Ryan Mallets ears ring with the screaming voices of the dog pound, whilst he struggles to find an open receiver.

    It's hard for me to think of the browns as a sure win team so I'm under no impression that this will be an easy game. We can never count on an easy game
