GO!

How low can you go?

 

[VikingFrog]

This one is really intriguing to me with Cleveland defense everywhere. And a few spots where I own McCaffrey and Purdy and Judkins.

Checking the weather, it still looks poor, but may be lightening up just a little from when I looked on my weather app middle of today.

Over to local Cleveland folks for true weather forecast.

I still think it’s going to be an ugly game either way. Especially if the wind holds up.

 

[travdogg]

I think the Browns can absolutely pull off the upset here, as long as Shedeur doesn't completely sink them. I'm terrified that happens and would be strongly avoiding this one for betting purposes. I think Judkins could have a really nice game against an undersized front 7 missing its best guys, but I don't see the Browns doing much in the pass game, just need to avoid costly mistakes.

I think SF plays it pretty close to the vest, and struggles to really move the ball against the Browns, but I trust Purdy (despite his high INT numbers) a hell of a lot more than Sanders. I do think CMC is a volume/TD play this week, I'm not expecting any efficiency. I do think Kittle could have a good game, if they don't keep him in to help block for most of the game.

Browns-21
49ers-14

Wind will be the primary issue

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Wind will be the primary issue

Christian McCaffery will be the primary issue.
Browns haven't faced anyone like him because there isn't anyone like him in the league.

• Leads the league in rushing attempts
• Ranked tenth in rushing yards
• Ranked seventh of ALL players in receiving targets
• Ranked eleventh of ALL players in receiving yardage

Browns have done great defensively, but they haven't been 'great' stopping receiving RBs.
My boy Carson Schwesinger is doing fantastic but he's in a walking boot with that high ankle sprain and struggled last week letting fellow rookie RB Ashton Jeanty to get 8 receptions for 58 yards and a TD.
Christian McCaffery will be the primary issue.

this is our Super Bowl.

Today, we know if we have something to work with, or if we have another in a long list of duds.

 

[Rubi]

Browns defense is legit and will keep them in the game
They can pull the upset if Sanders doesn't implode
Should be low scoring
Somebody kicks a field goal in less than ideal conditions to win it
Who?
How about an upset special...

Keebler Elves- 20

Niners- 17

Wait, facing a D missing its top two players is your Super Bowl?

this is the best upset pick of the day…teams tend to fold and play like crap late in the season in Cleveland

for the reason stated, yes.
what else would be a superbowl to a 3 win team?

we can do that in 4 and 5 weeks from now if the guy we're sticking in at QB shows himself to be legit

For the sake of fans, I hope he’s the real deal. Cleveland fans deserve some happiness, even if the criminal owner doesn’t…..

 

[King of the Jungle]

I would love to see the Brown’s pull the upset, but would be surprised if it were to happen. Niners have the best offensive weapon in a bad weather game, I will take the Niners to cover.

Per Twitter:

No rain or snow in forecast.

Winds 25 mph with gusts around 40mph.

Temp 36°, wind chill around 11°

Brrrrrrr.

 

[Wingnut]

Last 49er win in Cleveland was in 1984.

 

[JohnnyU]

Not playing Purdy today. I have a bad feeling.

 

[Wingnut]

CMC 1 yd td run

7-0

 

[VikingFrog]

For being a great defense, every time I look up over the weeks the Browns’ special teams unit seems to be letting up big plays and putting them in bad spots.

 

[Wingnut]

Huge 4th down stop by the Niner defense!!!

 

[Donnybrook]

Too early in the game to go for it on 4th IMO.

 

[Wingnut]

SF LB Nick Martin heads to locker room after visiting blue tent.

 

[-OZ-]

Last 49er win in Cleveland was in 1984.

That seems crazy

Well, they've only played 4 games there (not counting today) since that 1984 game.

 

[Donnybrook]

I going to say it (and I hope it doesn't jinx him) but the Browns OC is calling a good game.

 

[Wingnut]

LB Curtis Robinson down, and LB Nick Martin is out with a concussion.

We might be out of LBs

 

[Wingnut]

Seven straight runs for 51 yards this Browns drive.

49er run defense is terrible.

 

[Wingnut]

8-7 Browns on Sanders to Fannin TD and get the 2 pt conversion after PAT penalty on SF

 

[Bracie Smathers]

90 yard TD drive and going for the duce.
That leaves San Fran only 39 seconds on the clock and since the Niners received the opening kick, Cleveland can double-dip since they'll get the kickoff when the third quarter begins.

 

[Wingnut]

Browns are averaging 4.7 yards a rush vs 1.9 for the 49ers.

Purdy continues to be ungood

Huh? Are you watching this drive?

Been watching the game...great catch by kittle

 

[Wingnut]

Niners take the lead going to half, 10-8

 

[Wingnut]

Purdy continues to be ungood

Huh? Are you watching this drive?

Been watching the game...great catch by kittle

Purdy threw 3 straight dimes in the wind to get them points before half.

That's great...otherwise he is being outplayed by sanders with the same wind

Browns D >>>>>> Niners D

Purdy 9 of 15 for 115 against the Browns pass rush.

Sanders 8 of 11 for 96 on mostly screen passes. That Browns TD was a busted coverage. Niners D can't tackle today for poop and has no pass rush.

It's alright. We see different things. Purdy has not been good all season

 

[Wingnut]

Not saying he's been good, but today he's been fine given the defense he's playing and the wind.

 

[Wingnut]

Browns DL Maliek Collins carted off with a leg injury.

 

[Wingnut]

SF needs to stack the box and make Sanders try to beat them.

 

[NewbieJr]

Not saying he's been good, but today he's been fine given the defense he's playing and the wind.

He's doing exactly what Browns fans criticized Gabriel of. Throwing only to running backs and tight ends

Turnover on 4th down

Not saying he's been good, but today he's been fine given the defense he's playing and the wind.

That's all he needs to do today. Protect the ball and take what they give.

 

[Donnybrook]

Why are you going for it on their own 30?

 

[kface]

I thought I saw a look on Bourne's face that said 'I miss catching passes'

 

[Wingnut]

Purdy with the rushing TD on the RPO!

 

[Wingnut]

Great play call by Kyle. Lulled them to sleep with CMC runs up the gut and Purdy keeps it and goes outside for the score.
