On to Miami
-
Miami is 30th in the league against the rush. Behind only the Bangles and the Chiefs......ergo, we should run these fish ragged.
The Browns are 7th rushing for the year, and now we have Hunt.....and with that may have the best run game in the league. Baltimore has it...because of Lamar's scrambling. (still waiting for him to get crushed...today maybe?)
Miami is actually like right in the middle passing defense wise, at like 15th or 16th.
Run their asses over.

This style of attack could also help keep our depleted defense off the field, which would be nice.

Yes, yes, and more yes. I want this to be the Chubb and Hunt show...with about one deep shot per quarter to OBJ. Wishbone making a comeback?? ?
We need to come out EARLY and establish our will running the ball. We don't want to get into a situation where we're down and we can't run like we want to, and make no mistake, Fitzpatrick will definitely challenge the defense. He's risky, but he's also capable of making big plays. Add in the fact that our pass rush likely won't be dominant, and things could get dicey. Hopefully we get Vernon back, and I believe there's a chance!
It's been a while since Chubb broke off a long run. I'm thinking he's due, and I'm thinking Hunt scores this week, too.

Morgan Burnett to IR. Sucks because I was hoping to see an encore of his performance vs Pittsburgh next week.

Since week 3, Fitzpatrick has been the 8th rated passer in the league (per PFF). That's pretty crazy when compared to Mayfield who is ranked 23rd. Suffice to say, this game makes me extremely nervous. Miami had leads against some decent teams, some of the leads extended into the 4th quarter and they blew it, and some of the games they managed to hang on to win. Miami isn't some team that is simply laying down like many thought early on in the season. This is the NFL, and if you don't bring it, you WILL lose. That being said, I DO believe we're going to win. I think we'll have a single digit lead into the 4th quarter, and then Ward or Greedy will seal the deal with a big play when Miami is trying to come back. Their run defense is bad, it's a home game for us, and I really do believe that we're starting to play a little bit better overall.
Let's give the home crowd another win, and let's make it 3 in a row. If we somehow manage that, we'll then play a Pittsburgh team we KNOW we can beat. Sure, we won't have Myles Garrett who almost single-handily won the game with his crazy pressures, but I still believe we're the better team. Not to get ahead of myself because we certainly haven't earned the right to ASSUME victories, but let's face it...we should win the next two games and we should quietly put together no less than a 4 game winning streak. Heck, we get the Bengals AFTER the Steelers game, so maybe even FIVE games in a row.
I'm not known as Captain Optimism, but I can legit see us making it happen. Not only THAT, but a 5 game winning streak would probably stymie the "we need a new coach" talk, AND would get us to over .500 in December for the first time in a zillion years. Cmon Brownies...make a push!

Hopefully a nice clean game we can all kick back and relax to.

Relax? While watching a Browns game? What planet are you from? 🥷

I can't wait for the upcoming game strictly to read the signs people smuggle into the stadium.

The one near where the Dolphins reside and they are not very good. We could all use a “chill” game, or 2..

Let’s make it like an Ohio state game like 42 to nothing at the half

This offense would struggle to put up 42 points in a half this season even if the Dolphins refused to take the field.

They have indeed struggled.....but I am want to start seeing some breakout from those struggles.
42-0 at the half. We will accept no substitutes !!!

I'm gonna say 27 points at the half.

I will take EITHER 27 or 42, gladly. LOL.
We all know that we've played some of the staunchest defenses in the league for what seems like 10 games in a row. I heard some stat that said we basically played the top 5 defenses in the past 5 weeks, but I don't know if it's true or what metric they used to measure defense. At any rate, I'm VERY interested to see how we play against a team that is essentially at the very BOTTOM in most categories. They didn't have much talent on defense to begin with, and they are so completely injury depleted and ridden with inexperience that even their program guide is having difficulty keeping up with the roster. Virtually their entire secondary wouldn't make another team's roster, so if there was ever a game where our offense busted out, THIS is the one.
How can the Fins beat us? Well, for starters their QB is 5-1 against us. Fitzy will definitely take chances and challenge defenses deep, and we've let a few people get behind us in recent weeks. The Steelers' WR had the tying TD grab in his hands before the ground popped it out, so I do think we're somewhat vulnerable to accurate down the field passing (every team is, really). I'm encouraged to see Ward playing well, but Greedy has been somewhat struggling a bit. Furthermore, the Fins are the least penalized team in the entire league. That's pretty impressive.
I just hope we don't get suckered into trying to pass the ball too much. Fins are atrocious against the run, and we've got probably the best RB stable in the NFL. Miami is especially vulnerable against outside running, and that's one of the places we get the most yards from Chubb. We run that zone-stretch to the left and it's something we do VERY well. Chubb hasn't busted one in a while, but that could certainly change Sunday. Also, if you have Kareem Hunt in fantasy, I'd start him. I could see a scenario where he gets a BUNCH of yardage.

I have him and it's time for Freddie to understand the threat he has inside the 5 with fresh legs. No more f'ning around in there. Give him the damn ball and he scores.
-
the 10.5 point spread is about dead on imo..The Fins go on 4th down more than any team in the league..and were short handed on defense & they know it..
FitzMagic is 5-1 against Browns..we got to move the chains & own the game clock in this one

Does anybody remember the last time this board was talking about us winning the upcoming game by a boatload? With 3 defensive line starters out, I just hope to win the game.

Yea, I think we talked about that vs. the Broncos, and that did not turn out so well.

Ever since we blew a playoff victory in Miami in 1972 vs the undefeated Dolphins, EVERY dam Browns game makes me nervous?
