Browns are on the right path regardless of how they finish this yr imo...I think they now realize they need to invest in a legit LT this off season. Robinson is not the guy, Hubbard is better at RT but he's no stud either.

As far as this season it could turn out to be a wild finish...BUF, IND, PIT, OAK, LAC, JAX, TN...none of these teams are locks so it that regard it is wide open. The team in this grouping that can get hot and win 5 games, they're in. CLE, DEN are hanging on by a thread.
It seems to me Dorsey assumed Washington wouldn't be petulant about the Trent Williams situation, and miscalculated badly. Just a hunch. Bottom line, I think the offense and coaching just has to be better. Where are the quick slashing and pinpoint throws we saw last year? That seemed to work really well for Baker while mitigating OL issues. I don't get why we aren't seeing more of that, at least in the games I have seen of them.

We can all laugh at Baker Mayfraud at least.

Jokes aside (like Baker, LOL okay okay I'll stop) divisional games always bring some decent intensity. I think it could be a good game.

Feels like if the Browns can win these next 3 games (Pitt x2 and Miami) then they got a real shot at stealing a WC spot in the AFC. All are must wins effectively with 6 losses.

Not much faith in that happening, but the Browns are talented enough for it, so it’s worth monitoring.

It feels like they can do a lot of things...and then...

This is actually a really interesting game. Either team gains big momentum with a win and virtually squashes any hopes of the other.

I'm interested to see if Kitchens gained any more weight...I'm sure he is eating better than he ever has

WAS/Williams...I don't know if the squad took him serious initially, but eventually they had to realize he was serious and should've moved him at the dead line.

OFC...good question. Kitchens installed an OC, but idk if this is like Reid/Bieniemy or not.

It's watch this game or chat with the ball and chain.

A no brainer.....

Another example that fantasy football carries the NFL. I would have absolutely zero interest in watching these two teams play, but since I have Chubb on my team and I am going up against someone this week that has two Steeler players playing, this becomes a highly invested game. Add to it we are getting close to playoffs.

Fantasy football AND college ball....

Talk about zero interest at my house....

wrong team favored in this one imo. browns -3. steelers should be the favorite by a point or two based upon actual results on the field.

Hank: "But I have to watch the Browns and Steelers!"
Hank's wife: "But you're a Dallas fan? You don't even care about those teams?"
Hank: "PFFFT, YES I DO! I care immensely!"
Hank's wife: "Bu-"
Hank: "Quiet honey, the game is on!"

It's gonna be about play calling. And Freddie's already had multiple fuck up's. Calling a draw on 4th & 11 (Rams). Calling a pass play towards the end of the 1st half instead of taking time off the clock. Pass play was an int. leading to points for the Seahawks before halftime. Taking a penaly on 4th & 11. Then going for it on 4th & 16 (Pats). Of course I want the Browns to win. But wouldn't be surprised if they lose tonight.
Being way to hard on Freddie,,,,it was only a 4th and 9 draw.

That might be more than I've said to her near game time in my life.

She'll wander into the TV room and stand there waiting for a break in play, I'll reluctantly hit "pause" and glance her way, saying "What now?" with my eyes....

Says her piece with maybe a grunted reply from me... And leaves...

I’m in this camp. Game has implications and could turn out to be a thriller. Pittsburgh has turned it around and Browns could upset if Chubb has good game.

Too bad Baker has a bad chef in the Kitchens. They should let him try some of his own recipes.
