  • 10-6 still gives us a chance... But it has to be 10-6.

    I think the Ravens are the best team we have remaining, but obviously our defense isn't going to be able to score two TDs every game.

  • we need Cinci to lose to us plus one other team out of Denver and PTG.

    Well, I don't think that'll be a challenge...

  • Yep that pretty much sums it up Tour. Our backs are against the wall. We control our own destiny.

    GO BROWNS !

  • It ain't happening.

    :neutral_face:

  • So you're saying there's a chance??

  • There's a very slim chance. And if JFF makes it a reality, holy shitballs, it's going to be Tebow to the power of Tebow.

  • On the other hand, since we're still in it, does Pettine go with 'the starter' for this one as well?

    Anybodies' guess right now, Chris... If there are any tea leaves to be read, you'd have them I'd think.

    Agree... I like our chances that Cinci loses to Denver, but that's the game we would need them to lose and then rise up to beat PTG in Week 17.

    But if they lose to us and Denver then what do they have to play for in PTG?

    But but but but but...

    Which brings us back to "Step One".

  • 10-6 just won't do it, we don't really have any Tie breakers in our favor outside of the Division.

    Lot of Teams would have to falter as well, just don't see it.

    We've still got too many problems, I mean seriously, we just started our 4th Center this past week - and our run game showed it.

  • I think the run game opens up with Johnny starting because the defense will be spread out.

    10-6 can definitely do it, we just need to get there.

  • It's improbable but not impossible. We can surely win out. a challenge I hope the team is up for.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • yep. It will be a tall order for a rookie QB to win his first 3 games out. Especially against 2 division rivals fighting for playoff spots.

    If he does it, he will be the first.

    Of course, he IS Johnny Football, so who better to break the mold.

  • Pettine has a tremendously difficult choice to make this week as far as who is going to be the starter on Sunday.

    I'm backing him up whatever he chooses. No second guessing here. His choice is my choice.

    I trust him 100%.

    All the way from Torino to Cleveland: GO BROWNS!!!!!!!

    Ditto. If by some odd chance he picks Brian I'll be behind him. Seems like it's gonna be johnny though.

  • it's not a difficult choice if you watched the last 2 games....really...is it?

    Well, it's true that Hoyer played poorly in the last four games. And that led us to a 1-3 record that is hurting our playoff chances considerably.

    It's also true that a QB change is a point of no return. You don't come back from that easily.

    So I'm scared to throw away all the improvements made this season.

  • Hoyer isn't very good BUT what makes anyone think manziel is the answer? I'm not saying he's a bad qb but he's still a rookie with less than half a game of NFL experience. Its late in the season and its not like he has a cannon. I guess at this juncture it can't hurt but I also wouldn't expect him to set the world on fire, not yet at least.

    Because we don't know that he isn't yet. We do know that Hoyer isn't.

    This is a damn good football team, If we could just get back to an efficient offense this team would be very scary.

    We know that Hoyer isn't the answer. And we know he doesn't have to rape girls to get his
