    GB & CLE both 4-7-1.

    If before the season you'd have said that we'd have the same record it would've had a completely different meaning.

    Before the season I predicted one of them would go all the way.....and drafted Rodgers my QB in two FLs. 😆

    Then he gets injured in week 1. 

    Hey sheet happens!

  • ^  Glad to see Baker wants to put last week behind him right away.

    Yep, Terry seems to be all in on coaching and practice. We didn’t have either until mid season and all of a sudden, we’re a much improved team.

    Hey even Brees had a really bad int and loss on Th night, so it happens even to the best.

    Even Rodgers and the GB Pack have been having a tough year. GB & CLE both 4-7-1.

    Parity is here, just about anybody can lose any week,

    Upsets abounded. Losers- Rams, Texans, Patriots, Steelers, Broncos.

    & Next gen stats said New England had a 99.9% chance of winning that game with seven seconds left.

    You can't go back and change history, but put Williams & Kitchens in charge from the get-go. Add a better kicker, and the Browns just might be 9-4, and the talk of being the biggest turnaround in recent memory. Dorsey repeats his act in 2019, Baker doesn't suffer the sophomore slump, and the Browns should be in the discussion for a playoff berth...

    Possibly. But it's a roll of the dice to say we win a couple more games with a better Kicker but let's say we do.. Mayfield never sees the field and Freddy never steps up to OC. Hue was 100% up Taylor's ass. Haley probably doesn't get fired and Carlos Hyde remains the featured back

    Lots of variables.

    Ahhhhhhhhhh...stop with the nightmares!!!!

  • From Terry P. .....the little things......

      5. Playing in the cold weather? “Not that hard,” insisted Mayfield. Probably that’s the best way to approach it. If the Browns grow into a playoff team, there will be plenty of games played in what can feel like an ice box on the shores of Lake Erie. Mayfield’s arm strength seems to help the ball cut through the wind.

    10. Chubb is on his way to a 1,000-yard rushing season. He is at 740 yards, a 5.3-yard average. He has eight rushing TDs. As a team, the Browns had just 11 rushing TDs last season.

    15. A final note on Mayfield and the offensive line: In Mayfield’s first six games, he was sacked 20 times. In his last five (since the coaching change), he has been sacked three times.

    Wow, right before our eyes, the last three games of the 2018 season should be "interesting".

    GO BROWNS, anyone remember "Hard Knocks" , has been an interesting camp, preseason, early season......and now. 🙂

  • I have to agree with Pluto here.   I think as it stands right now my preference would be keeping what we have now with Williams as HC and Kitchens as OC and play caller.   Listened to the Bruce Arians interview today and he still says he'd love the Browns job and wouldn't call plays so that would mean to me that if he were to come here, Kitchens stays in place under Arians which is fine as well.   Mostly to me, I don't want to see the offense messed with.  There's been a noticeable difference with Bakers play with Kitchens calling the plays.  I'm not the biggest Williams fan in the world but hard to argue with the change for the better he's brought to the team since we let Huey and Toad walk the plank.

    I can't remember who was interviewed yesterday evening on 92.3, but they brought up the fact that while Kitchens was a coach under Arians he was moved from QB coach to RBs coach for someone else (Byron Leftwich?), and apparently Kitchens wasn't very happy about this at all. 

    Almost sounds like perhaps Arians and Kitchens wouldn't be a perfect match, after all? 

  • From Terry......

    This is the NFL. Three games are left in the season. A lot can change.

    So this is not a plea for the Browns to immediately hire Williams for 2019.

    But it is to consider the fact that Williams comes across as an experienced head coach who has brought order and a sense of purpose to a team desperately in need of those things. ........

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~▪

    Yes this is the "what have you done for me lately" NFL -but- Williams is building a decent book and just who might be a better choice? A college coach from OKL?
