Cleveland Browns 2020 Regular Season: What a Ride!

[CBBI]

Any pff grades on him?

2019: 74.3 on 41 defensive snaps
2018: 58.2 on 476 defensive snaps
2017: 70.9 on 18 defensive snaps

In that time period he has been a core special teams guy, playing 834 special teams snaps in 42 games.

Potential bet Sunday v raiders, how we stack up?

Raiders have a very good offense (9th in DVOA), but a very poor defense (31st in DVOA). They don't get much pressure on the QB at all and they don't stop the run. Bad formula against this Browns team.

The weather is supposed to be absolutely horrible. Current Sunday forecast is 100% chance of rain with winds in the 25 to 30 MPH range.

It's an extremely winnable game for the Browns. The Raiders defense poses virtually no threat to anything the Browns want to do and the weather should help limit some of their passing attack.

But ultimately it does feel like it's could come down to turnovers. If the Browns play a relatively clean game and don't give the ball away, it feels like one they should win.

There's a lot that can be inferred from this, but I like to look at it as the difference in coaching. Freddie as the coach and the Browns are 1-6 as well. Also, when we lose, WE LOSE!

Kevski should be in the COTY conversation, and oddsmakers seem to have him in the top 5 for it.

Tons of narrative towards Arians being, I think, the first to win for 3 different teams, but the talent, and the Pats' struggles without Brady, are hurting it. Even though superteaming is much less effective in the NFL than the NBA for various reasons.

Vrabel is in the discussion, too, but IMHO the whole COVID outbreak saga is by itself disqualifying.

5-3 isn't bad. I still just want a winning record, if we make the playoffs that is just the cherry on top.

Annnnnd Myles is hurt.

This team hasn’t made the playoffs in 18 years. What good is a winning record to not make the playoffs?

Honestly, going into the year, I thought the Browns were going 7-9, 6-10.

So for me, personally, 8-8 or even 9-7 and not getting into the playoffs is a win, IMO..

That’s sad. You had the same expectations of 6 wins, which Freddie Kitchens was able to manage, despite an improved coaching staff and a ton of personnel upgrades?

 

[Surge]

What a terrible showing today, but we're 5-3 going into the bye.

If i would have told you that before the season, we'd have been thrilled.

What’s the point of making the playoffs when you’re gonna get smoked in the wild card game anyway? Let’s not act like there’s a huge difference between this team making the playoffs and a winning record and missing the playoffs.

Improvement?

It’s the NFL. Every year is different and nothing is guaranteed. That 10-6 record in 2007 didn’t lead to any improvement or momentum the next year.

I mean. Neither you nor I know that they would get smoked.

In fact, they could get hot and make the Super Bowl from the Wild Card spot..

The fuck are you even talking about.
