Browns: have a top ranked, elite defense

You: “BuT WhY DoN’t thEy hAVe MoRe sACkS?”

BakeBros are NOT gonna like hearing that.

They don’t even need to be studs. They just need to be better than average to be an upgrade on Wills.

Yeah.

Nah. Just replace Jed with a true LT from free agency.

It’s one of the few positions where the Browns can obviously upgrade, so it should be the focus.

He is the weak link on the line at the most important position. Objectively, his PFF grade is the worst of the linemen.

Why settle for mediocrity? Is there something controversial about wanting to upgrade on poor players?

The Wills defenders are bizarre, I tell ya…

I don’t really care whose fault it is. I care about results.

If Jed can’t do his job well, he needs to be replaced by someone who can.

He’s what Jed Wills was supposed to be.

No.

Those are the Browns’ final 7 games.

4-3 at worst, which would give them 11 wins and a probably playoff spot. I’m expecting 5-2.

I just happened to look at the Sub-That-Must-Not-Be-Named, and damn they are OBSESSED with Watson and the Browns. Literally, we live rent free in their heads.

It is pretty disgusting how many of them are celebrating Watson’s injury and/or wishing he could have gotten injured even worse, though. Truly just some sick human beings over there.

Pretty amazing how beating the Ravens shifted the whole narrative around the Browns.

Hopefully Stefanski just keeps doing what he has been doing. Things are starting to click, just upgrade Ford to Chubb and you got the offense we were all dreaming of.

Alas, we’ll have to wait yet another year to see it.

JAX and HOU are going to be unexpectedly tough games. They looked like good chances for wins when the schedule first came out.

That said, 8-0.

I notice a trend of the Browns starting really slow in the 1st quarter. Check out their last few games:

49ers: Down 7-0 after the 1st

Colts: Down 14-7 after the 1st

Seahawks: Down 17-7 after the 1st

Cards: Tied 0-0 after the 1st

Ratbirds: Down 17-3 after the 1st

They won all but the Seahawks game, and they honestly should have won that one too. Still, not good to be starting in a hole after the 1st quarter.

What’s up with that?

I gotta say, I have not been impressed with Ford.

They should have kept Hunt until they can get a true young stud running back, because Ford ain’t it.

On one hand, it’s probably to be expected to go to a good team’s home on the other side of the country and lose a close game.

On the other hand, the Browns had this won. All they had to do was play smart football in the last 2:00. Just run it, no matter what. Then, worst case scenario, you go 3-and-out and punt to pin them deep in their own territory with a little more than a minute to play.

That’s Basic Football 101.

Reminds me of the classic joke:

A long time ago there was this captain on his boat with his crew, sailing the high seas when they spotted a pirate ship. Before the battle began, the captain shouted, “Bring me my red shirt!” It was a long fight but the captain and his men were victorious. The next day two pirate ships appeared. The captain cried, “Bring me my red shirt!” and they proceeded to defeat the pirates on both ships.

Later on, as the crew was resting and tending to their wounds, an ensign asked the captain why he always wore that red shirt. The captain replied “I wear the red shirt so that if I’m wounded, no one will see me bleed. That way everyone will continue to fight on unafraid.” The crew was moved by this great display of courage.

The next day, ten pirate ships were spotted heading for the captain’s ship. The men looked to their captain, waiting for his command. Calm as ever, the captain cried out, “Bring me my brown pants!”

I agree, brown pants are ugly. Orange and white are enough.
