    One other factor to consider on making or missing the playoffs: Pitt may not need to win week 17. The Browns are good enough to beat Pitt sitting some of their starters, mainly Big Ben. IF Pgh doesn't need to win (i.e. they have the #1 seed already secured) that would take the Browns from 3 tough games left to 2. 

    Iggles

    Jags

    TN

    Balt

    NYG

    NYJ

    Pitt

    I know, I know - on any given Sunday any team can beat any team, but I feel the Browns should go 5-2 if Pitt doesn't need week 17. And, TN coud be a win. So, in a weird way, Browns should root for KC to lose one or two. 

    We lost to Duck last year so don’t count your chickens

    That was last year, Browns were not a 6-3 club.

    Relax We aren’t playing good football

  • But we are playing "good enough" football...

    And not only is that a marked improvement, it will also do for now.

  • My game ball goes to Vernon... he really stepped up. Played like he was finally healthy.

    Honorable mention to Richardson.

    Now the challenge is for our DC and DL Coach to get the DL room to play at this level after MG returns.

    Lebron effect.  Everyone lets Myles do their job when he's in.  When he's out they play to a personal higher standard. 

    Need to make sure that standard is maintained even when the superstar is lining up next to you.

    I'm sure LBJ would be happy to Zoom in and explain it to them...

    He's quite dead, I think Lyndon Baines Johnson passed away almost 50 years ago.

    The Giants are my adopted team so I watched Sunday as I was watching the Browns.

    I’m worried about their run game against our front which has been prone to poor tackling and our LBs on MIA missions to somewhere other than where they need to be. Miles Sanders didn’t look 100% put he could be 100% by this Sunday.  They have some household names on the oline that appear to be run blocking fine.  Pass protection has been an issue.

    Reagor WR scares me. Ward probably follows  Fulgham.   The iggles play calling and Wentz trying to do too much have limited the scare factor a little.  But if we see  Sendejo try to pick up Reagor We are going to see 6 on the board. Goedert is a legit TE receiving threat that can give us some problems too.

    This is a very capable roster. For some reason they were like 0-9 on 3rd down and the Giants have very pedestrian defense. 

    They are capable of breaking out against us 

    Defensively, Eagles really didn’t pressure Jones enough and gave up way too many good gain on the ground.  They had troubling containing Danny Dimes it won’t be easier with Baker and his bootlegs.

    the Eagles are giving up something like 70% TDs inside the red zone.  Unheard of from their Defense.

    When Sendejo covers any body, a 6 is likely

    Or gets called for a very unnecessary  personal foul (pretty flagrant if you ask me) that negates a QB sack....  OK, the guy sucks- I get it, but it's beating a dead horse. We all know he's a bum.

    Browns - 3.5 is the line. Browns got to win this one. Philly is not very good. 17-13. 

    22-17 I'll take it. Way to go defense. Baker less than impressive again in the win...
