What is your REVISED *OCTOBER PREDICTION of the 2019 season record? *DECEMBER Review.

Hate to say it, but I went with 8-8 and I hope I'm wrong.

I have a bad feeling about the next 2 games, both NE & Denver are houses of horror for the Browns, historically speaking.

Now if the Browns implement a better protection scheme, like using one of their TEs as a FB, maybe, just maybe they'll be ok. There were signs of hop ein the Seattle game that the offense was clicking, but I still think the one-back set is a bad idea with an average pass blocking O-line.

I said 8-8 which will probably be good enough to win the division, assuming we beat the Ravens again and then the Steelers twice. We haven't seen Vag around lately, he's probably crying that besides Ben out for the year, Rudolph concussed, and now Tuitt- who was playing gangbusters is out for the year. The Game against the Bills is looking a lot tougher than before the season started.

In the if you were paying attention department I had the scale starting at 12 wins but changed it to 13 to see if any die-hards with orange glasses would pick it.

Since there's only 10 games left the maximum if they won out would be a 12-4 mark or 11-5 if they went 9-1.

I think that this division might be won with 9 or 10 wins this season still doable for the BROWNS but can they live up to expectations and get it.

We'll see.

I'm not worried about their offence, but their D (meaning Steelers, Bills, and Broncos).

Same as I stated before game one. 9-7

12-4.

3-4 … Steal this game vs. the Patriots. Get Ward, Greedy and Higgins back.

4-4 … Beat the Broncos for all those years ago. They aren't as good as us.

5-4 … Get Hunt back. Run the ball down the Bills throat.

6-4 … Win another division game here vs. the Stealers.

7-4 … Get Njoku back and make the Dolphins call in the rest of the season.

8-4 … Stealers, remember us? Do it again.

9-4 … 10-4 … The Bungles and the Cardinals get it too...

11-4 … Best the Ravens again for the division.

12-4 … Bengals are still recovering from the last beating.

12-4 Anything less is giving up.

Puff, puff, PASS.

I originally said 9-7 and will stand on that. The back half of the schedule should help.

Also boring!

.......but that's why they play the game, to see if we're correct on our prognostications..

If it makes you feel any better, I am terrified of a 6-10 season.

6-10

We're undisciplined, we turn the ball over, we don't throw TD passes, we don't score DEFENSIVE TDs, and we don't make the plays when they matter the most. That's the biggest thing, right there. When we need to make something happen, when the game is ON THE LINE...we choke. Basically, this team has absolutely NO MAGIC. Zip, zilch, nada, nil. Let me ask you, how many people on this board felt like we were going to go down the field and score against the Seahawks to win the game? I think it's a safe bet that not many of us thought we were just going to march down the field and win. That right there...that expectation that something great is going to happen...THAT'S what is missing from our team. We still expect to step on our Johnson, and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. We HOPE someone on the team will make a play instead of EXPECTING to make the play.

NOW...if "something" changes? If we find the "magic"? I'm telling you, we're a play or two away from winning some games, and I know that most teams in the NFL can say that, but you have to figure our big names are going to start making big plays. Garrett gets a strip-sack that's returned for a TD. OBJ one-handed grab for 7. Chubb breaking loose, Greedy pick-6...whatever. We start making those 2-3 great plays a game, and we can be something. We can win the division, but we have to stop beating ourselves and start stringing together wins. Now.

Not really a revision for me as my preseason prediction was 10-6 . They're currently a game behind my expectations by losing the Tennessee game.

I hope that you are right, my preseason pick was *9-5-1 and I'm going to join the majority here and go with my original pick here and go with *9-5-1......but with no ties yet 9-7 also looks possible.

Boring huh.

.......* yes I know it was 9-6-1 but even that looks like a stretch right now.

9-5-1 = 15 games. Kind of missed that from the getgo.?

hoorta

So the vote is 2:1 8-8 or better. Just watch if we lose to the Patriots how the vulture negators will start circling, proclaiming the Season is OVER!!!!!

OTOH, beat the Patriots, and it's Super Bowl, HERE WE COME!!!!!

1 DNP. No actually it was 9-6-1.

Dutch Oven

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that if the Browns lose vs the Pats next Sunday, they will go 8-8 at best.

They'd have to go 6-3 the rest of the way to finish .500.

4-4 … Beat the Broncos for all those years ago. They aren't as good as us. W

5-4 … Get Hunt back. Run the ball down the Bills throat. L, best defense we play left on schedule..and it's not going well

6-4 … Win another division game here vs. the Stealers. W

7-4 … Get Njoku back and make the Dolphins call in the rest of the season. W

8-4 … Stealers, remember us? Do it again. L????

9-4 … 10-4 … The Bungles and the Cardinals get it too... W/W

11-4 … Best the Ravens again for the division. W

12-4 … Bengals are still recovering from the last beating. W

12-4 Anything less is giving up.

7-3 is realistic of what's left?... Can we beat Pitt in Pitt? Heck... we got to have it... 9-7 maybe 10-6..Chubb & Hunt must move the chains & the 2nd & 20's has got to stop ?

1. Browns record? 11-5

Above was my response to Dutch's Questions... woulda swore I was at 10-6 and no revision required, but I was one high.

10-6... very doable... even if we drop out next 2....
