Browns at Texans gameday thread

My keys to the game?
Our offensive line that didn't allow us to run inside the tackles very well last week at all have 2 gigantic challenges lining up right across from our OTs this week. Wattshisname and Clowney. As tough as this challenge is - it's NOT impossible. We're about to see if I'm just wishful thinking that. That said, Greg Robinson has quietly responded well to every challenge thrown at him in Cleveland so I'd love this pleasant surprise to continue. Hubbard hasn't been bad since Kitchen has been calling the shots on offense.
It'll be interesting to see how Baker responds to the challenge. It's always fun to see his response stuff he's told he shouldn't or couldn't be doing. Last Baker heard, we weren't supposed to win a road game or win 2 games in a row. But here we are - what it is...
I WISH we had Terrence Mitchell back this week but we only have to wait 1 more week for that. I just loved the way we didn't forfeit the quick passes with the tandem of Mitchell and Ward allowing our pass rush to get to the QB more frequently. As much as I hear the next man up stuff - I see the difference in what our experienced DC does to protect the replacement for Mitchell in scheme. All that said, if we stop the run up front - I like our chances to be in position to win this sucker in the end!

Terence was a helluva surprise, and while I hate that he suffered an injury, I'm so happy for him that he gets to come back for a while. He returns to a similar level of play, and he could get a nice little payday. He's also not old, and could contribute for us for several years.

Would just like them to play a solid error free game. If they can stay close, on the road, to a playoff team that will say a lot. If they get rolled, that may say even more.
The Texans are a playoff team, as were the Steelers, Chiefs and Chargers, three games that the Browns struggled to compete.

Well, I believe Ravens are a playoff team as of now, they 7-4 if they could have beaten us.
Are the Saints a playoff team?
How bout the first time we played the Steelers?
Falcons were playoffs advancers past two years ...
We can hang with good teams if we play our game ... If we DO knock off a plyoff team at their home, with rookies at QB, RB and WR1 ... then watch out, this is going to get real interesting!

Good points! WITH the Mitchell and Ward tandem changing the way we play defense - the Steelers were lucky to tie us (thanks to the bs penalty called on tackling Ben to the ground OUTSIDE the pocket) before the Saints needed us to miss 2 extra points and 2 FGs. Next man up didn't allow our pass rush to get there nearly as much protecting Mitchell's replacement in more zone coverage (not contesting the quick throws with the aggressive styles the talents of Ward and Mitchell permitted). It mattered... That was the difference between Pitt I and Pitt II.
We'll have that tandem back together with 4 games left for more of the same sic em, sock em and sack em we started the year off with.

I think that's why I'm so silently excited about this game. The whole "if we win" train of thought, lol. Obviously, winning is the goal, but if that doesn't happen, I have two goals:
1. Mayfield survives unscathed.
2. We play them tough and earn respect.

Absolutely. The Browns should have beaten the Steelers and Saints in fact, and the Falcons at the time of the Browns game were hot. They've tailed off since and are pretty much out of the playoff race.

This game feels like the damn super bowl for us, I love it!

We had Hue/Haley 2 out of 3 of those games and against KC we had backups running around on defense trying to contain a top 2 offense in the league

We are listed in the hunt column for the wild card spot officialy now?

Looked ugly to start, Myles Garrett with the SAVAGE sack, one arm pushing back lineman, one arm pulling Watson down with force.
-
That was a brutal sack by Garrett
-
We look like we are getting good push up front so far

I showed up for the game wondering when the Browns are going to.

Baker didn't see him on the first slant and didn't see him there. He's throwing where he anticipates and not checking for the Underneath.
This is why I said, straight drops aren't Bakers friend - especially in his rookie year. Need to commit to the play action and the WR screens...

This is not Cincinnati, Ohio.

Baker does not look comfortable. Missing puzzle pieces showing up.
Browns need to hang in there and try to get some points before halftime.
