None of you have cred! We all know the track record of the optimists on this board have always made fools out of those of us who questioned this team!!

And no, we don’t get any joy out of this situation. It’s sickening how bad this team has been and continues to be, but people who have concerns should not be ignored or dismissed, because honestly, they have been right more often than wrong.

Do we make it a 8 game winning streak now??

Who actually liked that post... oh.

You do realize that one game doesn't constitute a streak, right?

That's an entire new level of reaching. But anything that works I'm all for. It would be a start.

I did... why not?

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.

I agree.....just go on a streak...a streak starts with two in a row.

Let's just get a win. Then we can talk about streaks.

I've always tried to look at things optimistically as a fan not wanting to always be the smartest thing around. Just being a fan with things. If you think that represents my knowledge of football so be it. But I know my football.

now back to being a fan.

Sorry I meant 8 games not 9...

1 in a row bro ... 1 in a row ...

Here's what I'm seeing:

We have to win 6 of our final 7 just to have a chance.

But, we probably have to run the table.

I just left playoff pic and status, whatever.

at this point, if the Browns win every remaining game, there is at least a good chance,

At 10 and 6, they'd be one of 6, or 7 10-6 teams in the AFC,
and Sweeping the Stillers and Ravens, plus beating the Bills yesterday,

puts you ahead of at least 2 of those, so (bills and Stillers can't both get in if the Browns or Ravens do, not likely)

But I have it like this,
Pats 15-1
Raiders 10-6, Chiefs 10-6, or 9-7

Texans 10-6, Colts 10-6, Titans 9-7

Stillers 10-6, or 11-5, but: 9-7 if we sweep them

So if the Browns win out, sweeping them, replace "stillers at 10-6 with a 9-7 but the Browns at 10-6

Ravens at 10-6, but if the Browns win out, the Browns swept them and that's a tie breaker.


So what I'm trying to say is, If the Browns win " every game!"

They not only take the Stillers out of the playoffs, (most likely)
They not only take the Ravens out of the playoffs, (most likely),(because the Bills would take their spot also at 10-6 pending their upcoming matchup).

The Browns would not only win the division,

The Browns would have the number 2 seed, (most likely).

Coming down to tie breakers with the Colts/Texans both 10-6, (Titans 9-7)
and the Chiefs or Raiders, both 10-6 as the other divison winners apart from the Patriots.

Speculate!

AFC could very easily have 2 10-6 teams and 2 9-7 teams not make the playoffs.

We have to win out. We can't lose to Pittsburgh Thursday as they will then push further ahead and Baltimore are already way out in front. The one thing helping us is the AFC isn't very good and we still have 5 division games to play.

If we win the next 5 the Ravens game on 12/22 is going to be ENORMOUS.

If we win out - we'll be playing an extra game or four.

We'll have a 6-0 division and 9-3 AFC record. Three of our losses are to the NFC West (that's a good thing).

Pittsburgh will be a lower seed - they'll have to win every other game to match us at 10-6

Buffalo plays Denver, Dallas, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and New England... And we hold the tie-breaker against them.

The AFC south will continue to beat the crap out of each other as there are only two games separating the entire division. Only team that could hurt us there is a tie-breaker with the Titans.

It would help us if the Raiders come down to earth. The Chargers are done, too many very good teams to play, including KC twice.

Yep, win out and you're in.
Lose one, still have a puncher's chance, but you'll probably need another team to land some for you as well.

You have to really like are chances if we beat Pittsburgh twice and Baltimore once.

Well yea.. because our other 4 games are Bengals (x2), Dolphins, and Arizona... that's 5-31-1 right now...

I'd love to run the table but I think the odds of us sweeping Pittsburgh and Baltimore this year are slim... I'm going to root like hell every week but I see 8-8 in our future... I just hope the games down the stretch mean something for us and our opponent. We need to play in some of those games..
