A New Season.
-
OK. I'm going to do an optimistic analysis for our "new season" 8 game schedule.
Wk 10 at DET: Good team, good defense. Run game is not good but pass offense is been able to win crazy games with high scores on 4th Qtr. I don't think Browns can score enough to get it.
Wk. 11 vs JAX: Coleman is back. Great defense, average attack. Their QB keeps them down, but they've won all the season games against teams with average/bad offenses. Only possible way I think of is that they are on a "down" of the rollercoaster their season has been.
Wk. 12 at CIN: This is a winnable game. 9 weeks later after last match, our defense is being showing some promise and their run attack is not performing as well as it was expected to. If attack doesn't let down the defense and field goals are scored, it can be a whole different game of what we saw on wk 3.
Wk. 13 at LA (Chargers): Josh Gordon's first game. So at this point we have a complete different set at attack. Charger's defense is principally based on the great Bosa-Ingram duo, so if OL can keep them at bay and pass rush gets into Rivers' mind (if he gets crazy, he underperforms greatly with costly INTs) I think this one is winnable too. Also they cannot claim to have the 'homefield advantage', LOL.
Wk. 14 vs GB: With little or no run game despite Ty Montgomery and Adam Jones, everything rests on the QBs shoulders... Who won't be Aaron Rodgers. Also, injuries are playing a role in their season and I don't think they will force key players out of their injuries in a hopeless season ending, as probably Minnesota is taking their division.
Wk. 15 vs BAL: Well, their attack is not really good and they get it going exclusively if it doesn't rest on Flacco's hands (or troublesome back). So if you stop the run game, AND DON'T MAKE TURNOVERS as in Wk. 2, it can be winnable too.
Wk. 16 at CHI: I think they're a fighting team with a promising future, but if John Fox keeps his "only run" unidimensional mentality, it can be an average offense, despite having two good running backs in Howard and Cohen. The defense stands in a good front seven, so if battles are won in the trenches, and by won I mean that Kizer doesn't get constant pressure/hits, in the WR-CB fight we may stand a chance. Anyway, it's in Chicago, so it would be a really hard game to win.
Wk. 17 at PIT: Great team, with an improving defense and difference making playmakers in the key roles. But I say it's winnable, basing my reasoning on everything that's purely non-football. First of all, they will probably have by the time the division title already, and will be preparing for the playoffs. That's huge as you don't want to risk key players for being 2nd instead of 3rd seed (Pats are taking the 1st, most likely), moreover when Ben has always had injuries. Second, Pittsburgh has a statistic really interesting these years: they win games against over .500 teams, lose against under .500 teams. They have less to fight for.
I say 5 are winnable and one hardly winnable (CHI), with first two ones being the hardest ones.

the fans have never left this time. Fan support given the product on the field has been magnificent.
Im expecting a better product over the final 8 games because teams cannot consistently be this terrible. I think we go 2-6 over this stretch, maybe 3-5.

You're more optimistic than I am. 2 wins would be amazing over the last 8. We still don't have a QB who is accurate enough and apparently we are pinning our hopes on a glass handed receiver and Josh Gordon who hasnt played in 2 years.
2 wins would be overachieving for this bunch.

Well, the D has been better without Peppers so his coming back is no big deal...except for his own learning curve.
Coleman will be rusty and probably tentative out there.
Gordon, what, he got his playbook today? And can't even practice for a couple of weeks? We might get 5 weeks out of him and he'll be running wrong routes, zigging instead of zagging, etc.
And of course, the rookie Kizer at the helm.
ok, so am I a wet rag...or a realist?
It's not a new season. NEXT season will be a new season. When/if Gordon CAN really contribute. (or not) When we have ANOTHER big draft behind us (and possibly new coaches and FO...or NOT).
We 'might' beat the Bears.

2 wins for a crappy team in 8 games really isn't amazing. it is much more likely than 0 wins in those 8. I dont think you guys appreciate how hard it is to go 1-31 over 32 games. That requires an unusual amount of crappiness that is hard to do nd very statistically unlikely.

I wouldn't have the foggiest idea when a NFL team last went 1-31 over a 32 game stretch.

I said all along that I am sick of listening to talk about the 2018 draft. We have 8 games to play, and while this team can't make the playoffs, we sure would be a hell of a lot happier this Christmas if the Browns show some life, 2- 6? Eh, not so much, 3 -5, 4- 4? 5 - 3? I don't like Coleman as a #1............ but with Gordon in? Big difference.
I think we are going to have some fun.
Tonight I pray that these kids are finally able to stay healthy. I hope our Zumba Intructer turns into a QB destructor.
Go Browns.

I realize how hard it is to go 1-31 over 2 seasons but I haven't seen much in the first 8 to give me hope against a schedule that isn't especially favorable over the 2nd half of the season. I hope I'm wrong. I hope they win all 8 and Kizer starts to look like Joe Montana. Nothing would make me happier than seeing this team win each and every game to finish off the season.

That's the funny thing about life. I always try to stress that in my posts, albeit at times the message would get lost. However, here is the thing, when you are dealing with life, humanity, whatever you want to call it, analytics really are not predictive of anything. Analytics always look good AFTER the event happens, and then the analyst can pick and choose which analytics he believes apply to what we have just seen. But really, nobody in the analytic world, if you are being honest, has predicted jack schidt............Fist it is the ice age, then its global warming, now it is cooling again, year after year the analytics fall apart after the players drafted actually play.....Predict the outcome of Vegas games, go ahead, see what happens to you..................Analytics sure didn't confine Donald Trump, did it?
People are capable of amazing things and none of us, certainly not me, can predict what it is that sparks a man/woman or a group to change their own fortune. I promise yu, the majority of tremendous success stories throughout history, were underdogs, wackos, and in general long shots that the analytical minds gave no chance at all. Buster Douglas always comes to my mind.
So, Kizer is schidt? Ahhh, not really, he just does some schidt things that overshadow the good things. Bret Favre did more stupid, schidt things than any successful QB I ever remember, but yet, his team made plays and overcame it. Will this happen to the Browns? Who knows? I don't, you don't, and sure as hell the jackoffs on TV don't either.
It is easy to look at a schidt team and provide analysis for all the things they are doing wrong. What analytics can never account for however, is a man's growth, passion, current state of mind and understanding.
So, our schidt team suits up again and has everyone self-assured of us losing. Of course, when the Browns kick the Lions in the ballsack....the same analysts will be pulling out statistics to show why this can be explained. FUKC analytics, FUKC the experts and FUKC anyone who doesn't have hope for the Browns. That's not me....now, I am still vehement about my disdain for Hue and the FO, but I am allowed to be.............and so are you. But these analyst caulk-suckers? They don't know schidt.
I believe like any human, Kizer is a little better this week than last. He will have more tools, and hopefully Zumba-man will start planting QBs into the turf.
Browns win again this week. Book it, 1 in a row.
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -

If we beat anyone this year it'll be because they took us for granted and didn't prepare properly during the week. There's your non-analytics analysis for ya.
The Lions are 2 games behind the Vikings. They've gotta beat us. - And they always seem to make our team(s) look bad.

Detroit will look much like they did in taking apart the Packers who also had to play minus any really good QB. We will be lucky to keep it to a 30-17 score like the Packers did.

That would be our 'other' shot at a victory. I've been saying the Bears. (I don't think the Chargers let it happen 2 years in a row)

I think the Bears defense is too good and our offense is not so good and that's a bad combination. Triblowski might not throw a pass against us and we will still lose...like Army against Air Force this past Saturday
