One thing in Cleveland's favor is their remaining schedule looks pretty good compared to the rest of the division: PIT, @Den, @LAR, JAX, CHI, @HOU, NYJ, @CIN

They gotta win half of those to get to 10-7. I think it's doable IF Stefanski continues to put together Coach of the Year game plans like he has so far this season. The defense is going to keep you in games AND WE DON'T HAVE TO SWEAT THE KICKER(s) FOR A CHANGE!!!! Hopkins has been money and Bojorquez is quietly having a solid year ranking as the 10th best punter in the league.
The cupboard ain't bare, you just need to keep the "let's go 1-0 this week" mentality for the next 8 games.

Think they can win 2 more games. Mindset has got to be defeating even for their defense. I can also be hoping for this since I'm a Texans fan and we have their #1 pick.

No chance they only win 2 more games. Sig bet!!!

No Watson likely knocks them out of Wild Card position as well

Can’t tell if this is better or worse for Jerome Ford’s fantasy value going forward
Glass half full: Ford will get more touches with the Browns trying to take the ball out of the QB’s hands
Glass half empty: In DTR’s only start the Browns run game vanished, albeit against the Ravens

Ford will be fine as long as the game is competitive. If it starts to get out of hand then obviously the run game goes away. I don't anticipate the game getting out of hand so I would guess he's going to put similar numbers as the last few weeks.

This pretty much makes us PIT. Good D, marginal QB.

The D against rookies is always the same -- stack the box, pressure the QB. The remedy is to go over the top, if there's time to throw, because the DBs will be playing man.

GB this team. I'm too old for this ****

I’m benching Ford for Chandler now. Extra carries don’t mean much if they go for no gain against stacked boxes.

beer is good
the other issue is that they are running a 3RBBC
Lansdowne
Footballguy
Sort of. Strong’s usage has dropped since the Seattle game. He only saw 5 snaps two weeks ago against Arizona and didn’t see any snaps last week against Baltimore.

fair enough. but that may be dependent upon Stefanski's secret formula from week to week.
anyway, good luck. there's a wide range of outcomes this weekend. i would personally avoid this game.

Browns working out Joe Flacco. Championship.

i was just going to post the exact same thing. except for the Championship part.

that’s the spirit!!All of the negative reports from practice are a smoke screen. DTR is going to put on a rookie clinic to rival Stroud. It will be spectacular!

I come here as a Jets fan and not an antagonist. Your team was just dealt a death blow. If not now, then later. Sad to see it, and it's sad to say it, but it's true.
Good luck. I'm pulling for you guys to remain in games with Walker or DTR.

It may very well turn out that the Browns are what the Jets thought they were. A team loaded enough to get by with basically nothing at quarterback. The Browns have had the scarier defense this year, it seems. at least as far as getting turnovers and the like. Actually, I just looked and Cleveland's DVOA on defense is number one, so I'm not alone in that suspicion or measure.

We actually had a music draft get shut down for posting that one. It was the "Dead Rock Stars" draft and it crossed the line a bit. But I won't forget it anytime soon.
Galileo

Cossed what line? It's funny as hell.
rockaction
Footballguy
You'd have to ask a mod. There was a rock star nominated that we weren't sure was dead (it happened during the draft) and somebody posted that clip. The moderators found it over the line. Truthfully, the mods do a pretty good job here, so we protested but asked if we couldn't continue the draft. We were obliged by management, which was cool of them.

Started games for Tennessee last year down the stretch, including a play-in game. But I get what you're saying and don't disagree. How was anybody on Cleveland to know what they had vs. DTR, who looked good in the preseason?

Steelers have lost three games this year in blowouts to Purdy, CJ Stroud, and Trevor Lawrence. Combined first two losses 4TDs and 0 interceptions. Third loss Pickett went down injured.
Browns three losses: to Pittsburgh with a key turnover in crunch time. To Baltimore with DTR turnovers. To Seattle with PJ turnovers.
We can’t win by just running it. We HAVE to convert some 3rd downs with the passing game.
DTR is going to turn it over.
I don’t see reason for optimism.

I think it's odds on that ANY QB turns it over in any given game, but I also think that they could make that a focal point of the game plan. We are likely to win if T.O.s are equal, and I don't see reason to suggest Pickett will fare any better.

I'm all for signing Flacco. He's a leader, has experience, wisdom, maturity. Hasn't played a lot in recent seasons, but doesn't throw interceptions like some Qb's do.

my issue with Flacco is that he’s nothing like the rest of the QB room.
not saying they can’t retool the offense on the fly, but it just doesn’t seem like it would be a smooth transition.

I'm telling you guys that you really don't want Flacco.

DTR, PJW, and BDN (Big. ****. Nick.)

I don't even know who we play next week but I don't think we stand a chance in hell starting DTR in the playoffs or even against a real NFL quarterback.

While it's hard to disagree, the Steelers have beat some VERY good teams (us included) w that poo qb
