<![CDATA[The Hail Mary To The Playoffs!]]>Well, we're still in the HUNT, amazingly and in True Browns Fashion- right down to the wire. But Browns Fans are the BEST, we never give up until it OVER!

Our push starts tonight on Thursday Night Football. We NEED the Eagles to beat the Bengals tonight for our BEST CHANCE. It's not looking so good right now with the Bengals leading 10-0 early in the first Quarter. But we were down early vs. the Chiefs and look how that turned out. Let's go Cleveland throw a little believeland belief out for the Eagles to win tonight and keep us in this thing.

We Make HISTORY and WIN NOW, THIS YEAR! Who's with ME?!

I'll be out watching the shooting stars tonight and throwing out a wish for the Browns to win it all this year... do your part and do the same. Belief is a strong substance. Miracles DO Happen. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

No, had they lost they could have beaten the Steelers and lost to the Ravens and it really wouldn't have mattered who won the cowboy/steeler game in that path. Or they could have lost to steelers and beat ravens and that path would still have worked as long as Steelers lost to Cowboys.

We win all ties with Cincy and/or Pit at 8 wins, 3-way and two way.

But there is only one way to get there now, before there were variables. Now, Pittsburgh MUST lose this week AND WIN next week. The ONLY game either Pittsburgh or Cincinnati can win the rest of the way is PITTSBURGH OVER CINCINNATI. It's our only path left. If the Steelers beat the Cowboys, we are done regardless of what else happens.

We can beat the Broncos. Having to depend on the Cowboys, the Steelers and the Ravens .... Yuck.

Hopefully you are right. Nevertheless, the permutations that would have been required for the Browns to make the playoffs would have probably required an algorithm written by Dr. Sheldon Cooper to figure it out.

Unfortuneately, the most difficult of the tasks you outline is the Browns beating the Broncos. Right now, they are playing as well as any team in the league. And it is in Mile High.

It's certainly not irrelevant for us, the path just got harder, but clearer:

Must happen:

Browns Beat Redskins

Cowboys Beat Steelers

Browns Beat Broncos

Steelers Beat Bengals

Browns Beat Steelers

Ravens Beat Bungles

Plus:

Jets lose one of three: Titans, Chargers, Bills.

OK, but what would have changed if the Bengals lost to the Eagles? Would they still not have had to lose to both the Steelers and Ravens?

Yea, if you are really looking at this seriously, this Bengals win is irrelevent. They would have to lose to both the Steelers and Ravens. And the Steelers would have to lose to the Cowboys...and the Browns.

And of course the hardest part: the Browns would have to win out.

Can you have envisioned the day when you would have wanted both the Steelers and Ravens to win a game?

Eagles imploded ... But don't worry Bud ....

Bungles will lose to Stillers and Rats.

Stellers will lose to Cowboys and us.

And Jets are bound go lose one.

We got this.
