Week 5: Colts (3-1) @ Browns (3-1) Thread... The Battle of the Once-Beatens
-
This is a bad matchup for the Browns.
Philip Rivers is the ultimate dink and dunker and then he throws that shot put looking touch pass (Reminiscent of Bernie) in stride to WRs. He can carve this secondary up with a controlled passing attack and just keep chains moving and keep us off the field. We need to tighten coverage And make him go downfield where Father Time is catching up a bit there.
On the other side I’ve watched maybe 5 quarters of four games- their Defense is playing extremely well right now. Leonard might be banged up though. You can make the argument we will be the best offense they’ve faced. But they will be physical with our Oline and I expect lots of guys shooting gaps and trying to disrupt the zone.
This is a Baker OBJ Landry game with a sprinkle of Hunt in the screen game.
Anyone remember the scrimmages last year with the Colts? Things got pretty chippy between the teams. This game should be a good one.

Well.... if they don’t trade for a starting linebacker and someone wakes up at safety.... id have a tough time favoring them in any matchup.
This offense better be prepared to put up 35+ a game to win if they leave it as is....

I don't see how this defense gets markedly better... The LBs generally are very green and the secondary is perpetually an injury mess.
The upside is that this schedule, that looked kind of tough I suppose going into the season, now looks weak beyond a handful of games.

Plus...
You don't fix every fucking thing in one year!!!
Is this thing still not on?

I think we have a good efficient offense that runs great and can make big plays (OBJ, Landry) but our Defense is average at best, so Indy has a more round team.
Maybe if Rivers goes batshit crazy and gives us some INTs we get this game, but I like Reich as a coach and I think they're a serious team, so I'm expecting a tough game that won't be decided till the 4th quarter.
Time of possession will be key, and if we can get it either by screens, short yardage passes or runs (I believe we have the players to get that), then we have a good chance.

But we aren't talking about 1 year, is 20 enough?
Unless I am mistaken Berry and Stef were just hired this past Spring.
I could swear that is what happened...

This game is impossible for me to predict. We're really banged up at key positions and Rivers has been known to absolutely embarrass bad secondaries. Indy's defense is also no joke and we're going in without Chubb and possibly Hunt. Yikes.

I can't tell you how impressed I am by your command of English idioms my friend. You must have great teachers there in Spain. I
look forward to the day we get vaccines for COVID so I can meet you in person so you can put up with my admittedly now deficient Spanish.
I think this old brain has forgotten more than half of what I used to use. I'll have to go to language school in Madrid a couple of months before
I come your way just to get back to 2/3s. Having lost so much hearing makes it even more difficult whatever the language used. They need an
earhorn emoji on this thing.??

Constonzo left their game this week with an injury - something to keep an eye considering a guy like Chaz or LeRaven May be over Myles Garrett.

Most of what I've learnt hasn't been thanks to teachers, but to my internet forum/video/game quests since I was 14... I learned a lot of English making friends in Call of Duty 2. But thanks for the compliments, heh. And I'm looking forward to practising Spanish with you, cousin!
