  • I'm worried about this game, we've lost to the Jets 5 times in a row.

    They can't let Darnold come in here and win. It's time to start WINNING home games.

    Darnold is very mobile AND throws weirdly accurate on the move, in addition to picking up yards on the ground.  Oh, we're also going to be without Ogbah (this is my surprised face!!  Can't believe it!!) and we're probably going to be without Damarious Randall!  Wow, it keeps getting better!!  Randall has a heel injury, and is listed as questionable I think.  In other words, he's not likely to play, especially because we play in two days.  No Ogbah, no Randall, no chance.  Randall has been playing pretty awesome football.  He got beat (badly) by Ted Ginn, but Brees underthrew him.  Besides that, he's been great.  Not having him?  Will destroy us.  Maybe I'm wrong and he plays, but I doubt it.  

    Bottom line?  We're in deep crap.  I don't care which players the Jets have lost off their defense, they still play very aggressively, and they'll make life impossible for us.  Our offensive line is STRUGGLING with simple stunts and lineman misdirection.  This is a symptom of our line not playing much together, and their communication suffering as a result.  The Jets' defensive line will torment us.  No running game.  No time to throw.  3rd and long all day long, with Tyrod throwing a bunch of 2 yards passes in hopes our receiver breaks 7 tackles and picks up the first down. 

  • 44-9. Browns 1-1-1.

    It was meant to be. Third time is the charm.

    10-5-1 should be good for the playoffs.

  • Ogbah's deterioration is something I definitely wasn't expecting.. probably need to draft DE again in rd1 this offseason since we sent our prior backups packing and are apparently going to churn the DL's who don't start.

    I'm not too worried about Darnold, he's playing at a replacement level right now -- 70.0 PFF with 3 turnover-worthy passes.

    Ward needs to tackle better and not play the Saints [7 targets, 7 receptions allowed].

  • keep his A$$ in the pocket make him try to read are defense = turnovers

    Considering Ward is a rookie, and MT is arguably the NFL’s #2 WR behind Brown...he really didn’t let MT have a great game.

    Especially when you compare his stats against the Bucs the previous week.

  • chris smith/genard avery>ogbah. Smith was a pleasant surprise to me this past sunday. 

    my issue with this upcoming game is the turnaround. I noticed a slight dropoff in myles's getoff against the saints, which was enough for the LT to absorb his rush...the power edge moves just werent there and that was on a weeks rest. He played every single snap against the steelers. Our lack of DE depth now is gonna haunt us. 

  • short week, brings longer list  https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2018/9/18/17876526/browns-injury-report-growing-as-tnf-quickly-approaches maybe J.McKinnon up from PS?  

  • The Browns seem much improved, but I will NOT predict an outcome & I REFUSE to provide the Jets (or anyone else) "bulletin board material".

    I'm confident and optimistic that the Browns will win every single week.   Its just a matter of how long that feeling lasts.   Some games the last couple seasons it didn't last much beyond the coin toss but so far this season it's lasted much longer.

    you are fuking high are o-line showed a lot of improvement since week one against a team that has 3 first round picks on their d-line which shows me with some more time to gel (they had no time together in the pre season) are running game will improve as will pass protection this is the same problem the giants are going through

    I'm fine with the pick of Denzel Ward, but I'm still puzzled over people on here who didn't want Chubb because "we already have Ogbah" and it would be a wasted pick. That thinking is flawed. DLine is the one unit where you shuffle people in and out, and even if Ogbah was healthy, you'll find playing time for another quality DE.

    Ogbah so far is feeling like Courtney Brown pt 2 . To me... I like the kid... But.. he can't stay healthy.. I wish we wouldve kept Meder...

    I'm really hoping that the Browns have found their LT and can use their first rounder on a DLineman. 

    A DE opposite of Garrett would be nice, but I'd be thrilled with Houston DT Ed Oliver, too. His comparison is Aaron Donald, of the Rams.

    Yet if you look at the trend in Yahoo Pick'em you'll see we are 2:1 favorites... and that's spotting NYJ 3 points.

  • @bobpound said:

    I have no idea what QB some of you are watching, when saying Darnold was the obvious choice for us at #1, it isn't the QB I am watching.

    The Week 1 Darnold was pretty damn good... that's the one I was watching  of the 3rd QB on my 2018 Big Board.

    Let's hope the Week 2 version shows Thursday nite.

    If we play our week 1 D against his week 2 O, we have a very good chance.

    I'm still waiting for a week something O, but so far it can't kick it's way out of a wet paper bag.
