    And for those of you who think that the BROWNS' are finished, done, kaput not true !  Well at least mathematically but a few things are clear it would sure help if the BROWNS' won the next game out of the bye in CLEVELAND versus a team that they coulda, shoulda, woulda won against last week.......past tense.

    The BROWNS' are still in it but must win one soon.  I've always liked this NY Times calculator, it lays it out there for you.  https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/upshot/nfl-playoff-picture.html

    Check it out, 24% right now.  GO BROWNS !

    Is this going to be the narrative for this week and next ?  Does Stefanski know something that we don't know ?  (You'd hope so..... I guess.)

    Is Mayfield the best bet to beat Baltimore in two weeks ?  We sure hope so !   https://www.nfl.com/news/browns-coach-kevin-stefanski-has-no-plans-to-bench-qb-baker-mayfield-why-would-w

    The Cleveland Browns offense has scored a grand total of 27 points over the past three games, including Sunday night's 10-point output in a six-point loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

    Despite the offensive struggles, coach Kevin Stefanski stood steadfast behind quarterback Baker Mayfield. Pressed on whether there could be a QB change during the club's bye week, Stefanski responded: "No. Let me ask you a question, Why would we do that? We're not doing that."

    Mayfield has been dealing with shoulder, foot and knee injuries but has played in five straight games after missing Week 7's win over Denver. In the past three weeks, Mayfield has completed 50.6% of his passes for 165.3 yards per game with a 3-3 TD-INT ratio and a 65.1 passer rating........ continued.......

    It's obvious the coaching staff has 0 faith in Keenum...

    The thing is, if he's medically cleared to play, but you play the backup instead, then you are benching the starting QB...'coach's decision'.  Is that the road that we want to go down?  "Why would we do that?" Stef said.  The starter is the starter because he's the best QB on the team.  But that doesn't preclude Berry from keeping his eyes, ears and mind open during the offseason....based on the body of work.

    Browns' Callie Brownson will coach US womens national tackle football team this summer in Finland at the world championships.

    First question: Womens tackle football is a thing?

    Oh yeah it's tackle football but just a little bit different than the men's game.

    So far this game smells like an under.  But most easy points are in the second half.

    Taysom Hill must have blackmail on somebody, he's not an NFL QB.. it's fun to watch the Saints light their salary cap on fire to keep him around.
