DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum 9 game winning streak will start now!

Don't forget to take your meds this mourning

Blame it on the OL...

Honestly, until we start playing football, I don't see us starting to win. And we lost to the Jets, remember...

Lemme guess, people are gonna declare the browns fixed if we start beating up on teams who happen to be worse than us?

We fell for the same trap last year.

We did not lose to the Jets

With the state of our team from a coaching perspective, QB perspective, discipline perspective ... there’s NO WAY I can see us finishing higher than .500 right now. Teams like PIttsburgh, Buffalo, Arizona have less talent ... but are better teams

#fakenews

My bad... sorry no excuses here

If we win all our division games you'll be doing backflips... you know it.

I don't know tab. The grades came out on our "new LT" after the last game and it was worse, not better. It was a shoot yourself in the foot move. Who knew?

But I agree it has to start with beating the bad teams first and work your way up from there. Hopefully you're right. But after what I've seen thus far, I'm in seeing is believing mode.

Well, we played badly enough that even though we won, it felt like a loss.

Possible but we need to cut down on stupid penalties and TO's as we all know ...

Oh eo....how I wish, but a 9 game winning streak??????...

Nope. This won't happen.

Fire Freddie Kitchens.

jc

man im just sick and tired of sucking every single year man. im sick and tired of having to hold on to 02-03 and 07-08 season, the ONLY time we had a winning record. im tired of having to hold on to individual games as a browns fan.

once again, the life is sucked out because we have all this talent, and still cant do a damn thing with it. just like 08. i swear to god we have to be cursed. there's just no other explanation at this point.

i just want to have a team to be proud of man. even the freaking jaguars have seasons they're decent, or like this season they're doing fine with a freaking backup.

we never catch breaks like that. man......

i mean damn i was 15 the last time we went to the playoffs that 02-03 season.

how much longer do we all have to wait?

We all feel ya Swish, we’re tired of the same old crap. Even this year seems to be WORSE because we had some hope.

Crappy coach, crappy QB, drama, near the bottom of the league in a lot of categories, and draft talk on the way

A month of high expectations was a real sugar high for a change. But I don't think we are doing much right, certainly not enough to win yet. But I hope to get some wins starting this week.

I am really tired of the interviews telling fans what we have to do for Browns to win. Feels like sludge. If it is all that clear and obvious with reporters after the fact, why isn't it painfully obvious in the game? Get your head outta the sand and do it on the field. I guess I might feel like we are in it together if it seemed like this group cared more than they have shown. MUST BE indifferent if it isn't corrected rather than same sins week after week. This isn't fair; it is real.

We gotta start by being able to beat bad teams. I'm fine starting there.

LETS GOOOOOOOOO ....

Heck Ya I’m in bro ..

My optimism ain’t helped much so far but I have two choices .... tuck my tail between my legs and be bummed and/or whine like most or just stay positive and at least enjoy the week leading up to the game ... thats all I can control ...

So yup .... ALL IN HERE BROTHER ...

LETS GOOOOOOOO ....

It's possible.

Last year the Colts started out 1-5. Playoff hopes are dead, right?

Well ... they only lost one game over the next 10 games, and wound up 10-6.

Colin Cowherd says we're going on a run and finish 9-7. What could go wrong?

Are you just saying this because we are now in the "easier" part of the schedule?

This team was fools gold as I expected from the start
Kitchens never was a HC at any level and BM can't adjust to adjustments.
Trading Zeitler for OBJ weakened the offense
This isn't a team that can automatically flip the switch and go " ok lets go 9 and 0"
It's a team that is loaded with talent but it ls a soft team.
Talent means nothing when some are more intrested in " marketing their own brand" than actually winning
This team shows games are won on Sundays not the off season

Let's start with one

I can’t believe some team hasn’t hired him as GM, he has all the answers.

That is pretty much what I think. We can win 7 or 8 of the remaining 9 games.

I’ve said it a few times, but IMO the key will be the next two weeks ...we gotta win at Denver and against Buffalo. Both are 50/50 games. We’ve already lost a few of these tossup types (TEN, LAR, SEA) and we have to get these two. If we lose one of them IMO we’re done

I sort of agree - but we could win ugly and undisciplined and still look like crap and be in trouble. Or we can split the next 2 games and look like a cohesive, disciplined team and I think most will be okay. Other than Baker taking a step backwards in his QB play - the way the team is coached and prepared and undisciplined is by far the biggest issue I am concerned about. Seeing that addressed and improved has to happen if we are going to win 7 of 9 .... jmo

yeah, there’s no question that we have to “look good” ... but we’re also at the point where wins must start accumulating too. We can’t afford many losses, especially considering we know we won’t sweep the division

I'm going to stick with 8-8. The Browns are a middle of the pack team this year. I still believe that. They'll beat bad to average teams but can't hang with the big dogs yet.

I think we looked like crap against the Jets. We also didn't look good against Baltimore, but we snuck in the win there. At this point, beating the Ravens like we did is the most important game to date.

We could look like crap against Denver and still win. We are catching Denver at their worst time.

Our defense is also the most important factor the next four games. Don't let the backup quarterbacks beat you and keep the pressure off the offense.

People are going to change their tune about us and it'll be fun to see us "in the hunt" soon on the tv screen when they show the potential playoffs.

We don't face any "big dogs" the rest of the season, which is nice.

Hope you're right EO!

Won't be easy, but is possible. The two biggest things are not playing like the "old Browns". We gave away games vs the Rams, Seahawks and Patriots by just doing things that should never happen, both in terms of bad play and in terms of extreme outlier luck. The 2nd thing is the Refs.

People keep saying "cut down on penalties", about 50% of our Penalties have been phantom calls, there's simply no way to cut down on them, hopefully we can cut the other 50% though and win in spite of the Refs, and/or maybe we become profitable and they start calling things for us too.

Few hurdles still left on the schdule. You know the Steelers and Ravens will play us tough and look for us to be the "old Browns". Cardinals only lost by 3 to the 49ers last night. They're not gonna be the free win they were at the start of the season (when the Ravens got to play them of course, thanks NFL)

Even if we miss the playoffs but end up 5-1 in the division I'll be pretty happy with the season.

go browns!

Eh, they have lost to every decent team they have played. They beat bengals, falcons, and giants, and have a horrible secondary (they give up about 280 a game in the air I believe).

Certainly the bad ref calls stick in the mind. But there have been relatively few in reality. On average *maybe* 2 a game if we are truly generous? While total we are at what - 8 or 9 a game? And most teams have those bad ref calls in their totals as well.

The entire league is suffering from horrible officiating. It’s not just the browns.

People need to stop blaming the refs for why our team is playing like ass.
