making the playoffs...impossible?

My son Jack and I agreed that we'd wait until the Browns beat the Jets to go to 4-5 to even muse about it. The Chargers just went to 4-5 and everybody says their one of the serious contenders.

The chargers are contenders because of their division. No team in the West has more than 5 wins, so with a healthy dose of divisional play, it'll be easy for them to overcome the 1.5 games they currently trail.

I'll say this: If the Browns get to 6-5... any team at 6-5 is in the playoff hunt in almost any year.
And if we get to 9-5 with the Ravens and Steelers coming to our house, those games will be HUGE. They'll matter.

Also... playoff teams are facing off against each other while we're in our "easy" stretch of five games. Hell, Baltimore plays AT Atlanta day after tomorrow. We're looking to move past teams like the three contenders in the AFC West, too. Ideally, three playoff teams come from the AFC Central, with us at 10-6 being the third.
Hey, a guy can dream.

If we win the Jets game. I do not see us losing during during the Carolina, Jacksonville, Miami, Buffalo stretch.

i'm just hoping that the week 17 game means something. i have tickets and would LOVE for it to get bumped into the SNF primetime slot.

Jack and I are meeting my recently widowed sister, her two sons, and one of their wives in Miami for that game... staying at the Hollywood Beach Marriott. I'm hoping for three straight wins to be 6-5 going into that game.

Doerschuck (maybe my favorite Browns beat writer) says two more wins and everybody will be talking playoffs:
Asking around the locker room, the Browns don’t want to waste a chance to climb into playoff contention, now that they’re beating playoff teams. The math is a bit daunting.There are two wild-card spots available, and at this point, the non-division leaders with better records than Cleveland’s 3-5 are:Patriots (6-2), Dolphins (4-4), Steelers (5-2), Colts (5-3), Jags (4-4), Texans (4-4), Raiders (5-4) and Chargers (4-5).
That makes the Jets game a must-win. If it is a win, though the Browns will be 4-5 …
• The Colts (Peyton Manning has to fade sometime) would be 5-4 if they fall to Cincinnati.
• The Dolphins would be 4-5 if they fall to Tennessee.
• Either the Texans or Jags will be 4-5 after they play each other.
• The Raiders have a bye, then face a string of tough games starting with Pittsburgh, which could drop them to 5-5.
Check out everybody else’s record in two weeks. If Cleveland wins the next two Sunday’s, everyone will be talking playoffs.

I would just like to think that our December games have some meaning. I just want to see continued improvement each weekend with some victories to go with that improvement.

I still think the Browns needed either the Tampa game or the Chiefs game to have had a realistic chance BUT if they can get by the Jets game the next 4 games are extremely winnable...Jacksonville has been up and down, Carolina=BAD, dolphins winless at home and Bills=BAD.... your just never know
