They can still get to 9-8, that gets in a lot of years

Yep. But, they have a schedule with the Fins and Vikes after this one.

Yeah they won’t make it, sure hope they don’t. I can’t stand Rodgers.

Missed a game. They end the season vs the Lions....

Yeah may mean a lot for the Lions

I think the best bet is Rodgers getting over 222.5 yards and Mayfield getting over 8.5 yards running the ball.

Rodgers could get the 2 TD's sure.....just don't think he will. I think both teams will run the ball a fair amount.

We'll see.

The only one that looks good now is Mayfield getting over 17.5 completions because he will be slinging it.

Rams are tanking for another team. Impressive

I think the Pack are just better than the Rams.

"Nerve Injury"

are you suggesting the Browns docs came up with a fake injury for him, for which he rehabbed, so he could opt out for Covid without really opting out for Covid (and keeping all his money)?

Yep....ya gotta love this forum.

I know there were all kinds of red flags that caused him to drop from a top 10 guy to nearly out of the 2nd round. And yes...I don't think his injury was as bad as was claimed.

His love and commitment to the game is clearly non existent. As evidenced by his play this year.

 

[shopson67]

That's my experience.

I have that game and Dallas Jacksonville lol

Red Zone channel for the win....

 

[shopson67]

Barely throwing for 200 ypg? He is at 246 ypg since returning. That would put him at 11th or 12th best in the league

...and Cowboy scoring is up with him back as well

 

[shopson67]

And I am talking about for the season. 205ypg along with 14 TD passes to 9 picks.

Not good.

You're counting game 1 when he was injured? He got like 2/3 of a game that week.

OK, but you said he opted out for Covid which does not seem to be true. Never mind if you want to fake an injury wouldn't there be far better ways to go about it than nerve damage?

I don't doubt the possibility he just does not have a love for the game....but thinking he has a love for money and would at least want that 1 big deal before he started faking injuries. Is he just not very good? Certainly possible.

I'd go with all of the above. The guy doesn't seem to have the work ethic, was overhyped but also dropped bc he had issues (goes all with work ethic), is injury-prone and lastly he isn't a good player. The only reason someone signs him is bc he is young and they think they can fix his issues, although it's hard to think his issues can just be fixed.

Are you guys talking about an esteemed member of one of the league’s top 5 secondaries? I was shocked in the preseason to discover that the Browns had a top 5 secondary. But that doesn’t go far enough to describe my utter surprise when the Browns continued to bleed points this season in a pass happy league. What happened to this juggernaut of a unit?

Fire Joe Woods!

We are talking about a member of their CB group which has often been really good this season when they played. Guy we are talking about is now their 4-5th CB as he was already behind Ward and Newsome and was passed by rookie Emerson and maybe even AJ Green (not the WR).

Thanks for asking though.

Don't recall but was he that overhyped? Seem to remember he was thought of as a late 1st/early 2nd rounder and went a little later than that.
Not saying you are wrong, but don't recall issues being mentioned before the draft (assuming talking about off field).

For sure has been injury prone....I only disagree he faked injuries completely, especially not the nerve damage, as far better options to fake an injury.

agree based on his name and where picked someone will take a chance on him.....and good chance will be disappointed.

That’s simple. Joe Woods. He didn’t know how to use his players, their strengths and weaknesses. We saw time and time again some guys were playing man, some playing zone…it was a mess. They seem to playing much better now, problem is Joe Woods always seems “to figure it out” when his job is on the line. The guy is a complete job, he is a horrible coach.

Well he was said to be a top 15 pick for the longest time. Trying to figure out why.

I dont know or care if he faked injuries bc he will never know but it really doesn’t matter bc he can’t be on the field and when he is in the field, he sucks…that’s something we do know
