The Browns Board

  • This team is picking in the top 3 next draft, PoG.

    Embrace the suckitude. Let it wash over you like a warm summer downpour.

  • Well, that last game was a must win. We were 0-4 and only one team had come back to make the Playoffs. The 92 Chargers. 

    Now we are 0-5 and entering the realm of -No team in NFL history has come back from this depth to make the playoffs.

    ...until the 2017 Legendary Cleveland Browns. At least that is the hope in Brownstown. How can the Browns make the Playoffs. 

    I thought that this would be a good thread to kind of talk about that prospect. 

    So, let's kick it off. 

    The Browns have lost a game to each of their division rivals.

    This puts them at 0-3 in the division and a big reason we are down big right now.

    The good news is we have a chance to make these 3 losses a wash by beating these same three teams the last three games of the season! 

    That would put us at 2 games behind both Baltimore and Pittsburgh and only 1 game behind Cincy. 

    We have lost close games to the JETS and the Colts. Both games were decided by 3 points. 

    The Bengals have a BYE so they will stay at 2-3 

    Pittsburgh plays the Chiefs - The Chiefs are 5-0 and could give Pit another loss. 

    The Ravens play the Bears - Let's hope Trubisky and the Bears can put it on Baltimore and give them a loss. 

    So when we get our first win and PIT and BAL lose, the Division race will look like this...

    Team     W       L       T

    PIT        3         3        0

    BAL       3        3        0

    CIN        2        3        0

    CLE       1        5        0

    One play at a time, one game at time, one win at a time, let's not give up Dawgpound, we can do this.

    BTW- The soccer team I coach just won the Championship today! 🙂 Let's Goooo!

    Well then, a congrats to you!

    ......my son played some soccer in grade school.  One time they put me in charge of setting up the field before a game.  I tried to let them know that I knew friggin' nothing about soccer.  (it just wasn't played when I was going through school)  - So, being the one-on-one champ of varsity basketball, I made the center circle the same size as the tip-off circle at half-court. 🙂

  • The only way we pick top 3 is if Watson shits the bed, repeatedly. Cause we fittin to win baby.

  • Here come the UnderDawgs!

    Most likely first overall, methinks. San Fran will be a worthy adversary.

  • We CAN beat BAL/PIT/CIN especially if Hogan is ready to take this opportunity by the balls. When we rematch these guys weeks 15-16-17 we will be a much better and a more matured team. I like our chances in those games and then next 3 weeks look winnable to me. Go into the BYE at 3-5 and we have a shot. But like I said, we have to win this week. 

    The road back to the Playoffs starts with the first few steps going in the right direction. Kevin Hogan and the UnderDawgs!!!!

    Soccer wasn't around when you went to school?

    Must have been a magical time then. 😆

  • Hogan isn't leading Sheet except the bid for 0-16

    When I read these this entrance comes to mind

  • ESPN.. ouch.

    "To say this team is a mess understates the mess.  This team has collapsed, and it has collapsed in itself with a new system that was supposed to be innovative that instead has become insulting. "

    That can't be our Browns can it? 😮

  • Now what do you suppose the Vegas odds would be on that parlay on winning the last three games?

    We have a beautiful messter piece. Sashimi, just have the DePudster giving you bad data.

  • We're not beating anybody with our offensive weapons. Hogan played absolutely terrible yesterday but I also saw people not getting open. Our WRs just aren't NFL caliber, and it's killing us. The one injury we just couldn't have was Corey Coleman. Since Britt mailed it in, we had nothing Corey. He went down, and that was that. And Corey isn't anything special but at least he can get OPEN. 

    And honestly, I'm not sure it really matters at this point because even if our guys got open, we don't have a QB on the roster who can accurately deliver the ball anyways. Kizer getting benched is going to have one of two effects. He's either going to use it as a motivator and get better, or he's going to be hesitant and suck worse. The smart money is suck worse because he still doesn't have jack to throw to. 

  • Watching live I saw receivers open... often. Not every play, but often. HOU sat in a zone most of the day. WRs found holes.

    I really need someone to tell me about Hogan's "strong arm" again, because I clearly missed it.

    My seat had a perfect angle behind the out throw that was broken up to end our first possession. Miracle it was not picked.There was zero zip on the ball. My comment was, "this is going to be long day." I had no idea...

    Then we turned from velocity to distance... any pass in the 50-yd range was woefully off target including one where the WR was 5 yd clear of the DB... and the ball landed at least that far OB.

    I was shocked Hogan was not pulled at the half.

  • Tour, then you'll be even more shocked when Hogan lights up the Titans on Sunday. 

    Give the kid a break. Hue said himself that Hogan has plenty of arm strength to get the job done. I'll take his word over yours. 

    Kizer can throw a fastball, about 4 mph faster than Hogan... but it's into the dirt. Get over it and give Kevin a chance.

  • Enjoy your world, Po... as long as you can.

    I could give a flying fukc whose word you take. I'll believe my eyes... 4 mph my A$$.

    And fukc this autocorrect BULLSH!T...
