How about this my friend? For every week that the Browns are guaranteed to finish last is another six pack? In other words, in week 14 when the Browns are mathematically guaranteed to finish last, you owe me 3 six packs? Conversely, if the Browns wait until week 17 to clinch last place, I will let you off scott free?

nope. i really don't gamble because i have shit luck.

i don't mind betting people a beer here or there but over and above that you can count me out.

Since anything I can produce is subjective and anything you say is bull shit, I prefer to go with the number of games your D manages to hold off the opponent versus the number of games my D manages to hold off the opponent. After all the difference between the good TOP and the bad TOP is only 4-5 minutes......do you believe your D is so fragile that one more series is more than they can handle?

Time of possession is usually a factor of 2-3 things: A. How well a team's offense can control the ball and sustain drives, and B. How well a defense can force the three and outs or otherwise limit drives. and perhaps C. Turnovers

Obviously the Browns offense has been very, very poor the last several years at controlling the ball. Last year they practically had no running game whatsoever, and had 3-4 different starting QBs.

In any close game, and the Browns had several last year, those 1-2 extra drives the Browns gave the opponents by not sustaining drives of their own and by turning he ball over can and do make all the difference. It can make the difference between a 4-12 season and perhaps an 8-8 season (or on the high end between 8-8 and 12-4).
