Our last MNF game was the game against the Ravens where the blocked our field goal and returned it for a touchdown to win the game. That was 2015. Our head coach was Mike Pettine.

Let's hope we don't embarrass ourselves again.

lets hope being on the road cause help the team focus. hopefully we run the ball more, and our defense wakes up.

but i can certainly see another short FG kick returned for a TD. we are still the browns, until proven otherwise.

I'm hoping to see this defense stand strong, and begin to see/reach its potential.

Offensively, I think everything is in the hands of the playcaller. Freddie has to step it up.

I hope we hit 'em with as much Chubb as we can give them.

I watched most of the Jets game on the plane because that was my only option. They won the turnover battle 4-1 and still lost. Their offense wasn't very good. Darnold was indecisive and inaccurate. And the 4 turnovers, only 1 of them was "forced" the others were giveaways.

I know the immediate comeback when I say "The Jets weren't very good" is, well neither were we... and that's true but the Jets weren't very good.

It’ll probably be a low scoring game. I said that last time and was only half correct ... I didn’t count on us giving up 43.

They’re without a good TE threat, but Bell is of course a huge factor.

Jamal Adams is the real deal so Baker has to be wary too.

If these guys cannot come correctly for this game after taking the beating they did - mostly of their own doing - and heading into MNF, then they are on their way to being a lost cause.

And no, I do not feel it hyperbolic to say "lost cause". They imploded in a way that we've not seen any other Browns team do - and that is saying a LOT, but they did it after an offseason of acquiring more talent and expectations than we've seen in decades and in the most anticipated Home Opener since The Return... and now they head into MNF.


Time to get your Minds Right!

I tend to agree. I realize it’s very early, we have new guys and systems, etc ... but we laid an absolute EGG on Sunday. We have talent. We have hype. It’s supposed to be OUR TIME.

If we can’t show up Monday and right the ship then we’re in trouble

This was written last September and I didn't look up last year's results, but this is connected to what you are saying:

Quote:
Since 2007, 91 teams have started 0-2. Only 10 (10.9 percent) of them turned it around to make the playoffs and one of those (the 2008 Chargers) made it with an 8-8 record.

One thing is very clear -

Odell is about Odell.

I dont have a problem with Odell being about Odell.

Lebron was about Lebron.

Its how the superstars are.

Its a business and they want to promote themselves.

I dont really have a problem with it (but I have opinions) unless it is a huge distraction / detrimental to the team. Such as Antonio Brown.

He’s probably correct and I’m sure it’s a well-known fact in league circles ... let’s not forget, that whatever OBJ says is going to make headlines.

As we’ve all said, if we win games none of it will get blown up ... we keep losing? It’ll be a nightmare

I wouldn't say "season is over" because there's still 14 games left after that, but generally teams that start 0-2, especially if losing to a bad team with a backup QB on a national stage, are donezo.

So if we lose I'd say our chances at playoffs drop from 25% to 2% at best.

I don't see us losing to the Jets. I'm not the most positive fan in the world, but it seems like we go from bragging and on top of the world to dismay and gloom and doom in the blink of an eye.

Yeah, I’m certainly a more negative fan ... but this SHOULD be a win.

UNLESS, the old TO’s and penalties and poor play calling rear their heads again

Oh, c'mon now! What are the chances that could happen with all the bad things coming together in one single game? That would be a real stretch.
