Playoffs
-
We've just lost to two teams with worse records than ours and currently wouldn't qualify for the playoffs. While two of the next three teams we face have equal or better records than us and would currently qualify for the playoffs. We've won these types of games already this season (SF, Balt). And apparently that's what it's going to take in order to make the playoffs. Because in looking at the remaining schedules of our wild card competition.....we might need to win the next four games. The Texans, Colts and Broncos are playing pretty well and will be favored to win most of their remaining games. The Bills have it a little tougher, but they're a potent team and can easily go on a streak. - I really don't want to see us have to go into Cincinnati for the last game and need to win it. Let's start the four game win streak now.

Cincy has it very tough, and week 18 there will probably be like a home game with 90% browns fans.
Texans/colts play each other, and some of the other hunting teams play each other which makes it a bit easier.
I’d we take down the Jags, things look very good for the Browns. If not then we can probably still squeak in with 10 wins.

Yeah, it's almost like believing in Santa Claus again this time of year! There's even a kinder, gentler @ghoolie-always-ghoolie that doesn't want to be called the Winter Warlock any more. Today, he says "just call me Winter."
And how many years did we end up gagging on all those drafts anyway? I had to remind a few guys that wanted to lose for a higher draft pick that we're still going to have the same hollow domes in charge of our drafting. The FO that drafted Brandon Weeden with our 2nd 1st round pick when we could have drafted Russell Wilson (somewhere between round 2 and where Seattle landed him in round 3) - could have given Joe Thomas the post season appearances his HOF efforts deserved.

Too many, it was a turn off for me, although I do respect some of the analysis around here.
This playoff race is exactly what the Commissioner wants- close, competitive, many teams involved.
I think the Browns overcome these injuries & get in, starting with a W tomorrow.

Posts like this remind me just how hard it is to have nice things... But I still haven't seen anyone come here that made me feel like (be it player or FO figure) okay!.. We're home now!.. This is it!... It just always feels like there's that one ingredient missing... To me it speaks volumes on what Bill Callahan and Jim Schwartz brings to the table. You just wonder.. Why can't Kevin be that savvy.. or at least just handle the administrative end.. Let the coaches do what we need to on offense... And just stop getting cute in key moments.

I love talking Draft, but it is nice to not have it be the main focus here at this time of the year.

The could woulda shoulda for the drafts apply to every team, but they are so, so much worse for the browns.
Don’t even have to go back that far - imagine if we chose Josh Allen over Baker in 2018 ? People can debate it all they want - but one of those guys has Watson-like value and the other is bouncing around teams, Tampa Bay is having the debate we had for years - they aren’t sure if this is the guy they should build a team around.
Our last first round picks pre-Watson I think are Newsome and Wills, also not particularly impact players.

But who can complain, they’ve been winning and hold the top wild card seed - great to have some extremely good December football ?
I can’t even imagine the reaction of people if you told em after 2021 wild card that baker would be on his 4th team and the browns are in control of their own destiny with Joe Flacco at the helm

Trust me, Baker got brought up all the time before you started posting regularly again this season. I didn't want to re-stir that hornets' nest again.

Me too; but I can't lie about what missing a 1st round draft pick does to my enthusiasm.

Sure, the first round pick is what 90% of what draft talk centers on. If we had one this coming draft, I'm sure we would have had some talk conjecturing on what players would be available in the 20s.

In due time, I'm sure mock drafts will start up here...
We have a playoff run to worry about now. I'll start diving in to what OGuard I want the Browns to take in the 4th round in March. ?

While the Browns aren't saying who they will start at QB tomorrow - who do you think they'll start?

Joey,,,, man
Yeah, I was thinking this was pretty obvious. I'm guessing it still is - they're just playing the same game Jax is about announcing who will start at the last second.
