OK, we're going to hope the Browns can win the last three, you enjoy Sundays at the Pottery Barn with the wife.

Yeah I'm going ahead with a few assumptions:
1. The Browns aren't out of it until they lose.
2. We are going to have suffer through a learning curve from Manziel in the process. That means turnovers and "hold your breath" kinds of moments.
3. The defense has the ability to play with the best offenses in the NFL. They do that, despite everything else... The Browns have real post-season potential.
Regardless, I'd love to see a 10-6 season. I'd love to see some explosive offense from Manziel and company. i'd love to go into the draft next season with two picks again in the first round knowing who the QB is going to be and with one of the best defenses in the NFL. Use the draft to add some finish to the club instead of filling critical holes.
I'm scared. But I'm excited!

We finish 3-0
We beat cincy, cincy loses to denver (cincy may be playing for a pipe dream birth against Pitt, probably will be eliminated by then though)
Steelers lose to cincy (losing to falcons would be ideal - battling for playoff spot lol, and a tough one against the chiefs)
Ravens lose to us
That gets us the division, which isn't too far fetched.
Cincy really has to lose to Denver and beat Pitt (with nothing to play for). And of course, we need the 3-0 finish which automatically eliminates the ravens from AFCN title due to division record tie break.
Wild card birth is possible, but I think there will be two 10-6 teams over us that tie break
Of course, that piss team east is our biggest obstacle. They gotta lose 2 in a row (unlikely) or lose to cincy (also unlikely)

Even if they don't make the playoffs this year was a step in the right direction, and quite a refreshing change from years of 4-12 or 5-11.

DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD! -
Two of the last three games are against Division teams. If we win all three and the Bengals lose to the Broncos next week and the Ravens/Steelers lose another game we could win the division.

Ravens lose to us
Yup... Ravens are a non-factor, if we win out.
CIN and PTG must lose 2 each.
Division Champs is the clearest path... not to be confused with easiest...

Does anyone honestly see this playing out?
Hey, I'm still hoping for another win so we don't have a losing Season in I don't remember how long . . . 2007?
Definite progress made this year, and hopefully we'll be able to address some (hopefully all) of the holes that showed up this year.
If our D had come out of the gates playing like they have the past couple games (like they were supposed to), we'd be sitting in first place . . . that's what I call progress.

guys-he's still a rookie with far less experience than all those other struggling rookie QB's he came in with and is now 13 games behind. Winning 3 of 3 is asking a bit much, but showing some real promise, mistakes and all, is about the best we can expect this late in the season for a new QB in the NFL. Now if the D does what they did for Hoyer in all 3 of those games, then it is likely we win them all. But that was the best defensive effort in at least a decade. I know it was the right decision to give Hoyer one more chance, but damn JFF would have buried them with the field positions they kept delivering time after time.

Toughest one to win will be the ravens on the road.
We can do it, but odds are against it.

Say we do win the first 2, and lose a tough game to the Ravens and don't make the playoffs. We still have positives to build on for next year. These guys will be hungry for more (at least the ones that will be kept), and we've played in games that were like playoff games to a team like ours. This would still have bee a good productive building year, and mistakes that were made this year won't be made in the future. It's all good my friends. This has already been a good year, and the potential is still there to be even better.

Ditto.
It's funny how the season changed- at the beginning of the season, the D was horrendous and the offense scored points. Now it seems the tide has turned.
We've had meaningful games in Nov-Dec for the first time in 7 years. The stadium is fun again.
I'm excited too. At the very least, win out. It may not bring a playoff berth, but maybe we knock the Ratbirds out.

If we win out, that's one loss for Cincy, plus Denver will beat them (playing for home field advantage in the playoffs). That's two for them.
It's less likely for the steelers, but it starts with a loss to the falcons, followed by KC. Or, if they lose to cincy, we win the division tie-breaker with them.
Unlikely, but not impossible.

Turns out my bleary-eyed, playoff-scenario analysis was a tad off. I mean what were the chances of that @ 03:30...
Cinci must lose two as they have a 1.5 game lead on us.
PTG, however, need only lose one, if that loss is to Cinci.
Better?
