I guess there was talk of flexing the game to sunday night,but they decided to stick with what i am sure will be a barn burner of a game, with philly and the redskins

Shocked they didn't honestly, if there was ever a time to flex the browns into primetime this would be the one.

[Dutch Oven]

Man would it be awesome to sweep these bastards. I have no idea when the last time the Browns pulled that off… 1988?

Hell yes it would. Has it been that long? Let’s do it.

[one post from the truth]

Would absolutely love to be wrong but if I'm a betting man? Got to go with the squealers. I'm a closet Brownie I'll admit it

[MDDawg]

@bbedward Too early to flex TBH but I have a feeling the final Browns-Cinci game will be flexed

[MDDawg]

I have a feeling that this will be the first of many seasons where we sweep the Steelers.

There's some rule that prevents two primetime games in a season for division foes. The main networks got it passed years ago.

It's actually a good thing or all Sunday/MNF games would involve the NFC East.

[jrb12711]

I'll be honest I always prefer the 1 PM games, so no complaints about that.

Boy, wouldn't it be some shit if they win this game. My guess (not hope) is they may have a letdown game against the Saints or Texans, but going into the bye (and then three straight home games) potentially at 7-3 with a 3-0 division record wouldn't have been something I'd ever imagine. Huge opportunity to set the tone for the rest of the season with a win Sunday.

points to consider:

NFL rushing leaders so far:

https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/team-stats?category=rushing&season=2026

Browns are 19th, squealers 20th in rushing. wouldn't have figured that preseason.

https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/2026-nfl-defense-rankings-team-pass-rush-stats Pass defense - Browns 7th, sqealers 11th in pass defense.

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-rankings-2026 squealers - offensive line rated #3. Browns oline rated 16th.

sadly, in the rain - who knows. But they have an old almost smart qb. The Browns have a stupid qb. That will probably be the difference in the game, unless the defense can create turnovers. maybe.

#Browns DT Mike Hall Jr. returned to practice today for the first time since sustaining an ankle injury against the Steelers in Week 4.

That's pretty damn good for no idea! The cut and paste below shows why the 80s was my favorite decade of following this team. Having said that, I was in diapers the last time the Browns won a Championship Title in 1964.

Thanks Syd! Man, if he can stay healthy - the rotation up front will have a lot of fresh legs.

And I was looking forward to getting into her panties. Eventually she married me.

I'm hoping beyond hope they can do it. Losing wouldn't sink the season but I would love to see the Browns go into Pittsburgh and get the W.

Well said CT! ESPN/other sports networks like to keep pointing out the Browns haven't won a regular season game in Pittsburgh since 2003; but on January 10, 2021 - guess who won a playoff game at Pittsburgh by scoring 48 points there? Our Cleveland Browns!!! Having said that, Ben Rapen assisted with 4 gorgeous INTs.

The mission today: Giddyup and get after it with another 60 minutes of RELENTLESS 2026 version of Cleveland Browns football.

That was a glorious night Flugel!

Maybe we will see a repeat this afternoon!
