Week 8 - Bungles (4-3) @ Clowns (2-5)

[CBBI]

I think the Browns are still at least alive if they can go 1-2 in Brissett's final 3 starts.

Fuck. just when I am ready to punt on the season, they draw me right back in. 3 more games then its Watson time, damnit, lol

4th quarter highlights. You've got to click on the link to see them.

I really wish we had that Jets game back.

I was just thinking that....4-4 doesnt sound that bad.

 

[Ohio]

So 3-5 with 3 more before Watson comes back.

@ Miami, @ Buffalo, vs. Tampa Bay feels like 1-2.

Would put them at 4-7 going into Watson's return. I think 4-2 with him under center is very doable. That gets you to 8-9.

Could they go 5-1 with Watson?

@Texans
@Bengals
Ravens
Saints
@Commanders
@Steelers

5-1 looks very doable to me, honestly. Texans game to shake off the rust, then roll from there.

 

[CBBI]

Browns one of only two NFL teams with a positive point differential and a losing record.

 

[Benway]

Bengals ran Mixon 8 damn times.

All they had to do was run him 20 or more times and it's a guaranteed win!

What were they thinking?? Just run tha dam ball!

 

[JDailey23]

This was fun.

What were they thinking?? Just run tha dam ball!

Even better, I think they're undefeated all-time when they kneel the ball 3 times. They should've done that instead.

 

[Jscc]

I mean, honestly, we probably should beat Miami and Tampa. Buffalo...lol no.

5-6 with DW4 at least puts you in the WC conversation.

With the team's luck so far, it will be against the Browns that Brady remembers he's an elite QB.

 

[buzzdog]

it's difficult to sleep at night knowing this team should be in sole possession of first place with its backup quarterback

This is why I've been so effing pissed off at this team.

We FINALLY pull heads out of asses and play our first really decent game of the season. We should be leading the division if not for rampant incompetence and lack of urgency in the first third of the season.

It was nice to finally see Chubb and Hunt used together on the field for a decent number of plays, those seemed to work. The jumbo packages were amazing, seeing the OL blow guys up at the LOS.

Now how many more of these can we put together before Watson gets back? I expect 2 wins to make up for some of the winnable games we've blown.

You guys crowd was fucking amazing wow roudy as hell

Last night was a great win. That said, I still think the hole is too deep to make the playoffs. I believe you need to go 10-7 even with the third wildcard. I can’t see them going 7-2 the rest of the way. My main goal is for DW to shake off the rust and for this team to beat the Ravens so none of the division teams can sweep us. Likely not making the playoffs will be a major disappointment though.

Until we are mathematically eliminated, i am still rooting for them to make the playoffs.

I am a fan not a coach or player, i get to be irrational to a degree.

Above anyone else the coaches and players should be hellbent, determined and focused on making the playoffs. It's not in any way irrational for a fan to have that expectation.
