    Good points - I'd like to add, that the Browns, after their first three losses... they won every time the following game. This team is built, led, coached to be resilient. They have a GREAT locker room, great leadership, outstanding attitudes...

        rain, sleet or hail - they keep their sense of humor, and their tenacity and bring it every play. I expect them to bounce back and win this next game after the loss.

  • The next one that counts a chicken before the egg has hatched gets a swift internet kick to the man meat.   (and remember, my legs are like steal vices) 

    1) Browns as a team are emotionally drained after that heartbreaker... don't for a second discount what that does to a person, much less a team. They aren't Madden players. 

    2) They are on a short week and on the big stage again and know that all eyes are on them.

    3) The pressure of having to win the games you're supposed to win to simply get to the playoffs is a heavy burden, and make no mistake, the team feels it. 

    4) They are on the road - back-to-back, and all that it entails. 

    5) History says the Jets most likely aren't going 0-16. (I know we play the Giants this week, I'm simply foreshadowing) 

    6) The Browns bring that scary defense of theirs wherever they go.... like an evil shadow in a horror movie. 

    ^ On paper the Browns should win, and win comfortably..... too bad this game won't be played on paper. Kevin has done a great job all year and I have no doubt he will have a good offensive game plan and we'll all find out what the Browns are made of these last 3 games because in my opinion they have to go 2-1 to get to the dance.

    I don't think I have seen anyone here take that game for granted.  Sure, there have been predictions that the Browns will win it...but wtf...if that is the case, we should ban every post that makes a prediction of a score.

    Well, the good thing is that the better team is the first team we play...so the road effect should be mitigated in the first game.  And I don't know if playing in the same (road) stadium 2 weeks in a row may also mitigate that.   It is why I asked the question earlier:  are the Browns staying in NY area between games?)

    5) History says the Jets most likely aren't going 0-16. (I know we play the Giants this week, I'm simply foreshadowing) 

    That concept did not work for the Browns a few years ago, did it?

    This is your best point out of the 6 you made.

    You think even 10-6 will not get them there?  Even that last spot?

    Daniel Jones played hurt last week- hobbled around and got pressured and was hurried and sacked.  He’s prone to fumbles and doesn’t pressure the defensive downfield that often.  We are far better off if he plays.

    We need Ward to peel off his bandaid too because the Slayton guy they have is very underrated and he’s the go to guy.

    Don't count out Sterling Shepard who has been coming back from an injured shoulder. Not many targets yet since recent return, but with the Browns who knows.

    I don't.  I think going 1-3 over the last 4 puts us on the outside looking in.

    Right now we have a young Jekyll and Hyde team that has beaten Tenn and Indy, hung on for dear life against the Bungles (twice), squeaked by the Texans and Jags and lost every game to their top division rivals... unpopular statement I know, but it is what it is. 

    The stage is getting bigger and brighter every week, and while I think they can beat both the NY teams, and are far and away the better team, it all depends on if the good Dr. or Mr. Hyde shows up Sunday night..... and I think all 6 of my concerns will dictate that. 

  • In normal times, this could have been a hell of a week to go and stay in NYC, or outside of it.   Do a week of sightseeing/museums etc.   sandwiched between 2 games.

    But no.  No fans allowed:

    My cousin, who is as big a Browns fan as anyone, lives 45 minutes from East Rutherford. A situation like this - two Browns games in one week that close to him - will never happen again, and Covid says "No Browns for you!"

    Manning and firework 3 finger guy..all I had

  • That D line of the Gmen isn't fucking around.   The defense as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts, just ask Russell Wilson.

    Looks like D Bone is picking NYG... and that's good news for us. 😉

    Russell does not have our OL.

    Practice reports...

    Hodge and Ward are at least on the field this week... not so for Teller and Sendejo... rest look fairly unconcerning.

    Short list for the G-men...

    I just heard this on NFL radio this morning.


    I liked playing the Garrett/hobbled Jones combo better.

    Freddie has something to prove and Colt is a guy that doesn’t make many mistakes and just plays hard.

    Our 6th and 7th stringers. Just know this game is going to be a war. We won't be able to stop anyone and they'll be able to stop us. It's gonna be a tight game.

    I hear you...


    After Ward, Mitchell, Harrison the drop of is big and we have a group of Stewart, Joseph, Redwine, Johnson, Thomas, okay one more drop Sendejo.

    Shake up 4-9 in a bag and put them on the field and it’s all the same.
