Here comes the Raiders
-
Ah...
From the condemning posts I would have sworn we had a better option... even if it was only playing 10 on Defense.
Playing 10 on defense may be an improvement over playing Sendejo Addition by subtraction

This will be a very interesting match up. The Raiders not doing all that well, and the Browns are moving along steady. Another win will move us up on the win column and make news as a AFC playoff contender.
Next to the Colts, Ravens and Stoolers.. This is probably one of the better teams we'll face all season.. Derek Carr looks to be having a career year unfolding and theyre Defense has some good players... This match up bothers me a little bit...

Yeah, hard to believe that the Raiiiders would be a good game going into game 8.
Just like who would believe that the BROWNS would be 5-2 with a shot at 6-2 going into the bye week.
GO BROWNS, a win and 6-2 would be sweet...... baby !

Prolly works better on Mars...
Meanwhile let's look at relative healths...
At least our list is getting shorter.
LVR looks pretty healthy...
... but a couple good ones are on their IR list...

I feel pretty good about the Browns winning - more than the Bengals. I was concerned about that one.
offhand, I think this sums up the situation pretty well:
ranking of the defenses. The offenses are very similar, except the raiders do have one tall wr - a rookie that's 6'3", first round pick.
The defenses - Cleveland has a huge upper hand.

17. CLEVELAND BROWNS
Looking solely at cornerbacks in single coverage, there is only one CB tandem that ranks in the top 15 in coverage grade on such reps: Cleveland’s Denzel Ward and Terrance Mitchell. Those two have helped Cleveland post the fourth-best outside-corner coverage grade this year. The safety unit, however, has been far from that level as Cleveland’s safeties have combined to produce the 24th-ranked coverage grade at the position. Prior to Ronnie Harrison’s strong Week 5 (80.1 coverage grade), the Browns were 30th in the same metric. Cleveland also has easily one of the three best edge rushers in the NFL in Myles Garrett — he joins T.J. Watt and Khalil Mack as the only edge defenders to earn a 90.0-plus grade in 2020, and he actually leads the position in pass-rush grade at 91.0.
27. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
The Las Vegas offense has been rolling under Jon Gruden, and the unit's aggressive approach in Week 5 helped the team beat the defending Super Bowl champions. The defense, however, is still among the worst in the NFL. By expected points added per play allowed, the Raiders ranked 31st in 2017, 32nd in 2018 and 32nd in 2019. So far this year, they have made a modest improvement to 27th.
Cornerback Trayvon Mullen flashed his potential in Week 3 against New England when he posted a 92.7 coverage grade and four pass breakups, but he hasn’t been able to come close to that in any of the other four games. Rookie Damon Arnette didn’t look all that great in his three games played, allowing 10 catches on 11 targets for 201 yards and one touchdown.
On the bright side, linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski is looking exactly as he did when filling in for the Bears in 2019 and ranks eighth at the position in PFF grade. In addition, edge rusher Clelin Ferrell is on the path to a Year 2 breakout, as he ranks 12th at his position in PFF grade.

Someone needs to remind me again as to who we have to replace Sendejo.
This argument is weaker and weaker after each passing week.
Is he a cap buster? No. So this isn’t a situation where economic realities step in the way of just cutting him.
Could you bench him And find another guy marginally better? Yes and I’d say yes to the second part. I shook off his play being just a case of having a bad week early on.
Browns fans are conditioned to think the way you are thinking with that post. We are 5-2, a blown coverage may cost a playoff spot not like most years where it’s just another L and now a 2-14 record and a better pick.
I admit I thought this was a solid signing. And then after COVID (I think he signed prior to covid) I was on the sign all the vets you can bandwagon in case of outbreaks. He also played decently well when I watched Minnesota games. He’s not comfortable here with this defense and maybe Father Time is catching up
-
As a dude who in 1993 got to watch in person Eric Metcalf high step into the end zone for the win against the Raiders, I know that whenever they meet, it's usually a crazy game with the Browns having their hands full.... to say the very least.
This game worries me.

- And yet I noticed you did not offer a name.
- And replace him with?
- And his replacement is?
- Which way of thinking is that? Reasoned? Analytical? Realistic? As for Playoffs... I've already said making them is just gravy on our 2020 season. If we blow a coverage and allow a TD, just means the Offense, the side of the ball we invested in this year, has to score one more TD than they'd otherwise have had to do that week. That's who we are this season.

That game in Oakland in Baker's rookie season (his first NFL start?) was an odd one, for sure.

I remember this game. I was at the Browns Backer Bar with my Pops and I want to say we ran it in on 3rd or 4th down with hardly any time left. I remember it being a very ballsy call to dial up an outside run and the entire bar went nuts and chugged their beers. I loved it!
For the win!

I don’t have time to name the all. And I’d even go first or second year guy off the scrap heap. Could they possibly be out of position more??? And they are likely to be more fluid and athletic.

Bitter sweet game.
Refs were atrocious. The overturned spot???
I thought Chubb was Byner reincarnated
I was going to go to the game but my wife wanted me around and didn’t want me to die in the black hole. She’d probably reconsider that right now lol.

Weird vs. OAK is right... and it started with our first meeting in Oakland in 1970.
I can remember us knocking Daryl Lamonica out of the game and old, George Blanda trotting onto the field to lead the Raiders to a come from behind win.
But will it be as weird vs. the LV Raiders?
We had a habit of losing to vet backups that came of the bench back in those days. Happened against St. Louis a couple times when Charlie Johnson subbed for Jim Hart. Got so that when my Dad and I saw the opposing QB was slow to get up that we'd urge him to do so... and groan if he didn't.

I think that was on 4th & goal? Metcalf scored 4 TDs in that win, yay.
