  • We are going to whip the Broncos a$$es.

  • Denvers team isnt that good basically lindsey if you stop him denver will have trouble scoring. 1 prob may have with our young players is the altitude in denver.

  • Denver counts on the rarefied mile high altitude to get to other teams by the 4th Q. Had it not been for a really bad No-call for expired play clock, they would have  beaten KC at the game I attended there in Oct. They cannot be taken lightly when Von Miller is playing @ 100mph.

    Well do I know about that 5,200' altitude Bill. Going from near sea level in Cleveland to Denver without acclimating- you don't notice it much just walking around- but start exercising- you sure will. For those curious- air pressure a mile up is only 83% of what it is at sea level. So spot the Broncos a 17% aerobic advantage. 

  • Watching this game will mean having to see the goat head himself. I hate that place, team and GM. Lousy air and way too much uphill. A win there would be a very sweet Christmas treat indeed! 

    FUCK DENVER!!!

    GO BROWNS!!

  • I’m 3-3 in our last three contests, and I picked us to beat the Bengals, lose to the Texans, and then beat the Panthers.  I feel like I have a good sense of who were are and what we can do, but my gut feeling isn’t great about this Denver game.  They’re coming off a truly miserable loss to the 49’s, and they’re playing at home.  The biggest reason I’m not picking us to win is their defense, and OUR defense.  We don’t do so well against the rush, and I’m worried we’re not going to have Denzel back yet.  Just look at the point totals surrendered by the Broncos this year, and it’s pretty darn good.  They had one weird game against the Jets, gave up 30 to the Chiefs, and I think those are their only really BAD games of the year.  They get after the QB, and they’re stingy with the points.  At this moment, I’m picking Denver to win, but man…I REALLY want to see us pull it out, and I think it CAN happen, but not if we’re careless with the football again and we don’t force more turnovers. 

    GO BROWNIES!!  Prove me wrong, guys.  

  • Normal time to acclimatize to 5200' from sea level is 1-3 days.. so they'll be fine if they fly out on W/R.

    I lived in Denver for a year.. the altitude isn't that big of a deal unless you don't account for it.

    So, you are saying that the Browns should have left for Denver today. Are they leaving today?  Or at least tomorrow?

  • As to the game itself I look for them to study the Houston game with us, so I hope we are too.

    I studied the Houston game too....and have some advice:  don't throw interceptions!!  I was in the stadium for that game....its like I feel that I jinxed him.

    So, put the blame on me.

  • The way I see it, IF we win, it’ll be an all out war.  I don’t see either team really dominating, as Denver’s offense is pretty banged up, but their defense really gets after the QB and I could see us piling up the holding penalties and stalling out.  If we’re going to win, we’re going to do it on the ground.  If Nick Chubb can bust a couple of big runs, and he can consistently keep us in 3rd and short, we have a chance to move the ball and milk the clock.  One of the other keys for us will be to continue our remarkable red zone streak that has us going for 14 touchdowns in our last 14 trips to the red zone.  Let that sink in for a moment, and then think back to last year.  *shiver*

    We’re also without Denzel Ward again, and that’s a colossal blow.  Although I’m not as scared of Denver’s passing attack, Case Keenum has all the confidence in the world, and he will definitely try to squeeze the ball in there.  It would’ve been a perfect game for Denzel, but we won’t have him, so we’ll have to adjust.  Even though we won last week, the Panthers really should’ve converted on that goal line trip.  Cam missed two passes that NFL QB’s HAVE to make, and while coverage was decent, the receivers were still open.  It’s unlikely that Case misses opportunities like that, so we’ll have to tighten up. 

    All that being said, make no mistake that the Broncos’ offense starts and ends with their RB Lindsay.  Our rushing defense hasn’t been great for several weeks, and if we can’t stop him, we’ll be in for a LONG DAY.  We’ll have to figure out ways to stuff the run, get them in 3rd and long, and make Case uncomfortable all night long.  He’s pretty decent under pressure, and I remember watching him last year when he’d somehow throw a ball with 2 linemen in his face and he’d complete down the field.  He’s a risk taker, so Myles will definitely have opportunities to strip the ball, and I know he’s focused on doing just that. 

    Our offense really should shine if we limit the penalties and turnovers.  Denver can get to the QB, but if they don’t get home, they are not good in the secondary.  They’ve given up a bunch of passing TD’s, and they’re also not great against the run.  The weather is expected to be PERFECT, and this could be a game where we hand it to Chubb 30 times.  It’s imperative that we don’t get down early so we can continue to pound the rock.  If you have Chubb in fantasy, I’d start him for sure this week (duh).  We’ll have to keep throwing quick passes and take calculated deep shots with added protection, but since the Broncos’ secondary is so banged up, I see our receivers winning on their routes and getting open for Baker.  Don’t be shocked to see us punt once or twice early as we feel them out.  I don’t believe we’ll see the very early aggressiveness like we did last week.  But hey, what do I know?  Their secondary is weak and Freddie might decide to go for the jugular.  However, the vision in my head has us playing more ball control, draining the clock, running the ball, moving the rock with precision, short passes to neutralize that vaunted QB rush. 

    I’m old school, so I have a VERY difficult time picking the Browns to beat the Broncos, ESPECIALLY at Denver.  We just don’t ever seem to beat them, no matter WHAT year it is, LOL.  HOWEVER…it’s a new day in Cleveland, and what better way to prove it than vanquishing a historical rival, right?  I’m 3 for my last 3 picking Browns games, so I’m flying high, LOL.  I’m going with the Browns in this game, on national TV, in a rather ugly game.  We’re down 7 at half time, but we rally in the second half behind the arm of Baker, the hands of Jarvis, and the legs of Nick Chubb.  Myles Garrett finally gets another strip-sack, and it sets up the winning drive late in the 4th quarter. 

    Browns – 26

    Broncos - 24

  •  I just want to watch good complimentary football like in the Atlanta and Carolina games.

    27-20 Browns.

  • Browns 33...Broncos 31....this is a new team with a new attitude. They don't know...don't care... about the history in Denver.

    yeah I think we should go easy on the "whip their asses" talk.....but I def feel it's winnable. I wouldn't have dreamed of saying that before the season, even just a few weeks ago. But the offense can actually stay on the field now. Which is "huge" for our defense and it's limited rotational quality.

    If the 49er game is the only one you saw, you might not know the real Broncos' team.  This team has a habit of turning it on and off.  I can promise you they will be ready for us.  Baker will need some magic to win this one.  

  • broncos are injured and their only playmaker is lindsey I believe some of you are giving them to much credit scoring We ride Chubb and then burn them downfield Browns 28 donkeys 10
