Specifically being healthy and not turning the ball over. Eyeballing the metrics last year, they had the 31st best offense last year and when your offense is that bad it makes your defense look worse than it is. The Browns had 34 giveaways last year which is 2 a game. The only other team that bad was Tennessee and guess who the two worst teams were.
For sure and while I do think these can be somewhat random we were terrible in forcing TOs (or at least coming up with TOs even if not forced). Mostly same D, I think, was fine to good the previous year forcing TOs.
I remember the Chiefs/Browns game pretty well. Browns maybe had a shot in that with even a top 20 QB.
Yep...and while we fell behind the eagles early and could hardly get a stop had a chance near the end to pull it out if I remember correctly.
Yeah that was the first game out of the bye for the Eagles and that was an ugly week here. Sirianni was seen chirping a fan at the end of the game. He brought his kids to the presser to seemingly be a shield for criticism. That day the Eagles season looked dire. Thank God they got so much better from that day and thank God they were playing the Browns. They could survive that with a win when a loss might have sent them spiraling.
Great player but he hung on way too long. Should have hung them up in 2018
