    I was  hopeful at 2-5 the Browns could still make a run at the play offs but after the Denver loss it is time to face the facts. This team is not going to do it. All the talk about how the rest of the season favored us had me optimistic but the very first game of "the rest of the season schedule that favored us" we lose to Denver and their third string QB. We likely will win a few more games with the weaker schedule. Big deal. 

    If you bothered to look at the unbiased power ranking comments this week- after losing to the Broncos to a QB playing in his first NFL game- the Browns are just a bad team. Our supposedly killer defense is third in the league in giving up rushing yards. Not good.

    Ain't nobody worried about the Bills, that's the worst 6-2 team I ever saw. Josh Allen is Rob Johnson 2.0, a tall white stiff who can't throw for crap and the defense is severely overrated plus they suck away from home. Browns 27 Bills 6

    We thought the same about the Broncos. BTW Josh Allen's stats in their game against the Redskins- 14\20 160 yards 1 TD 0 int are scarily similar to that other Allen we just lost to...   

    I like you optimism crunchy- but the Browns are more than likely to get crunched along the road to the playoffs, than do some crunching. Maybe Kareem Hunt will be the spark that gets it turned around- I hope so. Realistically, the Browns only path to the playoffs is to make it as a Wild Card- and win out in the process. After the Ratbirds took out the Patriots Sunday night, I don't see any way they're going to lose 4 games the rest of the season, could easily go 6-2. They essentially have a bye this Sunday playing the hapless Bengals. Even if the Browns manage to beat them- the only game they may be underdogs in is against the 49ers- and they play them in Baltimore.

    I hate to say the Browns are a bad team. Too many losses this year were games we could have and should have won. I would go with an under achieving team.We could be sitting at 5-3 right now instead of 2-6. In the Broncos game alone we lost that game because of too many missed opportunities. We dominated in time of possession and first downs. I'm not saying we are a great team either or a super bowl team but we are a team with enough talent we should have made the play offs this year.

      It didn't end well for the JETS and its not going to end well for the BROWNS.

      By the way see you Sunday. Go BILLS!

      That’s one team we’ve done well against. I think it’ll be closer than that though. Do ya think we can see one of these jills mafia types do a header here too?

        And to quote those famous wordsmiths from our era, we know WHO they are.....

        We'll be fighting in the streets
        With our children at our feet
        And the morals that they worship will be gone
        And the men who spurred us on
        Sit in judgement of all wrong
        They decide and the shotgun sings the song
         
        I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
        Take a bow for the new revolution
        Smile and grin at the change all around
        Pick up my guitar and play
        Just like yesterday
        Then I'll get on my knees and pray
        We don't get fooled again........

                Maybe tell them no gamechecks until they win, they will be in escrow until then.

                Might get their attention, maybe.

                GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

                    It's too easy. Even at 2-6 there's a straight line. 

                    First, win out. We only play crap from here on out, so that's no problem. We finish at 10-6, 6-0 in the division. 

                    That puts us ahead of the Bungholes, they've already lost more games. 

                    Beating the Squeenutz twice puts them at 10-6 at best and we have the tiebreaker. Done. 

                    Our only problem is the Cravens. But we already beat them in their dump-ass stadium. Really thumped them too. We'll beat them again in Cleveland, so that gives them 3 losses. They need 3 more for us to take the division. Luckily, I found those losses: vs Texans, at Rams, vs 49ers. Maybe at Bills too. 

                    Final divison table:

                    1. Browns 10-6, 6-0 division

                    2. Cravens 9-7, 4-2 division

                    3. Squeenutz 6-10, 2-4 division

                    4. Bungholes 0-16, 0-6 division, Paul Brown rises from dead to retract the team, NFL is better for it. 

                    So that's how we win the division, make the playoffs, host a playoff game, and save Christmas. Pretty damn easy.

                    I wish you weee right but there is one huge flaw in your path. We cannot beat crap teams. We showed that clearly last week.

                      Except the Jets, we destroyed the Jets. Plus I don't think Denver is that crappy, they should have beat the Bears, Colts, and Jags except for last minute drives aided by some bad calls and kickers being clutch. Denver could easily be 6-3

                          Look at Mayfield Bro. Josh is better in every stat possible including WINS. Stop it. Browns are so overrated. Talent players but they are not a team. Players care more about the appearance of their cleats than playing the game. See you Sunday.

                            buffalo, Baltimore and maybe the squeelers are the last few teams that are decent on the remaining schedule.

                              It didn't end well for the JETS and its not going to end well for the BROWNS.

                              By the way see you Sunday. Go BILLS!

                              Ain't nobody worried about the Bills, that's the worst 6-2 team I ever saw. Josh Allen is Rob Johnson 2.0, a tall white stiff who can't throw for crap and the defence is severely overrated plus they suck away from home. Browns 27 Bills 6

                              3-0 in the road this year which is more wins than Brown have total. Stop drinking the water on that side of Lake Erie

                                Look at Mayfield Bro. Josh is better in every stat possible including WINS. Stop it. Browns are so overrated. Talent players but they are not a team. Players care more about the appearance of their cleats than playing the game. See you Sunday.

                                    while most players use pre-game to warm up, Odell and Jarvis were being told no cleats or no playing. Sound like winners to me. Glad the Bills don't have to deal with that kind of bullshit.

                                      point remains that Allen is playing than Baker right now so people in glass houses should not throw stones

                                        What the fuck does that have to do with the fact that you are shitty at geography?

                                          Nobody has to "deal" with anything.  Except maybe a couple of guys have to "deal with" how to tie shoelaces.
