Tough to root for Denver, but I was

We got Denver next week, and it ain't going to be easy.

Texans, Panthers, then Broncos.

Texans will be on a shorter week due to MNF tomorrow... but st home... and most likely riding an 8 game winning streak.... can't wait to see my brownies up close!!

Lol, that was my thought.

ya know...im actually really QB Dorsey decided to draft a QB, because even though we might not have had a shot, Cousins is not playing like a fully guaranteed contract QB this season.

he has 19 TD's and 7 picks.

baker has 17 TD's and 7 picks.

he's good but...im glad we got our own QB.

The Steelers can be so frustrating at times. They usually lose one clunker a season, and I guess this was it. Sometime they can't get out of their own way. Great win for the Browns today.

They were frustrating as all get up today - lost my 4 team parley on them -2.5 points.... Ugh. It was like they were the old Browns for a game and were trying to find ways to lose.

houston is no picnic for us next week

Houston is a heck of a test. It'll really show us how for the team has come - or - how far we still have to go. I would imagine they will be 6 point favorites or so. I hope we give them a hell of a game.

Their offense is scary good and fast. Tough test for us.

Huge game.

Baker vs Watson

I'm totally stoked.

It feels so good to:

1. Be playing meaningful football right now.
2. Feel like the QB position is solved.
3. To feel like this isn't a mirage. This isn't the DA year. This isn't the Hoyer year. This is the first year toward stability.

I don't know if we will beat Houston. I called the Falcons and Bengals wins (and won a ton of money on both :)), but I don't feel confident against Houston. It wouldn't surprise me if we won or lost.

Yeah, I honestly thought that game was a "flex" game possibility. I wonder if the NFL wishes they woulda now

Well, I will really like the Browns at +6. They will cover that for sure. I doubt it's that high.

I know this is going to be a very unpopular take, but I think Rodgers gets too much credit for being greater than he actually is. This is not to say I don't think he's good. I think he's great. I think he's a HOFer. But I don't think the credit he gets is proportionate to the play.

I don't know if its him or McCarthy, but Rodgers loves to hold the ball for a very long time, break the pocket, and throw in backyard football mold. Don't know if that's play design or Rodgers. If that's not working they get in a lot of trouble. I've noticed this for several seasons now. There's very little drop, set, throw.

And the talk of him being better than Brady is just insane to me.

It just seems to be in the in thing to constantly put Rodgers on this pedestal that I just don't see when I watch him play.

Aaron Rodgers is the most physically gifted QB ever. Tom Brady is the most accomplished QB ever.

The argument against McCarthy is that his offense is not modern enough and doesn't use the receivers in ways to get them open.

i dunno why that would be unpopular.

Rodgers is perhaps the most talented QB in history. But he isn't the best. Brady is the best.

at the end of the day, its all about winning. And just me personally, i rather have brady in a 2 minute drill for a TD over Rodgers. i've seen Brady do it way too many times.

It's unpopular because "best" is subjective. Sure, if you define it as Super Bowl wins, he's mathematically the best.

Other people might define it as "QB in any given year most likely to help their team win a Super Bowl", in which case you might say Drew Brees is the best (or whoever) because you think him being on the best team (usually the Patriots the last 10 years) would result in an even more sure win than Brady.

The Packers are not a good team ... not even close. IMO, we are WAY better than them ... but it's a close game if we'd play because of Rodgers of course

In the regal voice of the dude announcing the queen ....

Jags fired their OC, and benched Bortles. Cody Kessler will be starting next week.

That whole thing is going down in flames. They spent all their cap money on defense, their defense regressed, and they didn’t address the QB position. Imagine if they had even a league average QB.

Good luck w that, Jax.

jax has been a disaster all season

I think Houston wins big tonight

I watch the game yesterday next to a Houston fan ... The man wouldn't shut his pie hole long enough for me to pay attention to the game lol, but he seemed to be of the opinion that his teams record is somewhat of a fluke this year.

THey certainly have talent at every level IMO ... Very fast team

what a run.

man the texans have a pass rush. our tackles are gonna be working.

Texans are GOOD

hopkins is so good

Been watching the Houston game. We have got our hands full with them next week. Their D really looks tough.

yea, we have a matchup problem on both sides of the ball.

You bet we do Swish, bigtime!! I guess you could say this will be a growing and learning experience for us

yea, i think this is gonna be the most read option our defense is gonna play against.

its gonna be interesting to see if our LBs keep biting on it or not.

The Houston game is shaping up to be a measuring stick of where the Browns are.

Can our D stop them at all? Running or passing game?
Can our Oline stop their DLine?

Tune in Sunday...

Texans up 34-17 on the Titans

It's better for the Browns if the Texans win this one (if you want to go with the possibility of a playoff run, that is).. have them run away with the AFC South, help knock off some of the other wild card contenders along the way.

I'm officially nervous about next week.

Watson looks incredible.

I just turned it on and they flashed the stat where Mariota is 17-17, 239 yards, 2 TDs

Pretty impressive that the Texans are up 17 despite that

Mariota had the most least impactful stat line I’ve witnessed in a while.

It was 17-17 of pure...bleh.
