The Browns' trip back to MetLife Stadium has met a delay. Cleveland announced it has closed its facility Saturday and its flight to New Jersey has been delayed while contact tracing is being conducted following a positive player test for COVID-19. The Browns are holding meetings remotely while consulting with the NFL and medical experts on the next steps the team should take. Cleveland is set to face the New York Jets at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at MetLife Stadium, where the Browns defeated the New York Giants a week ago on Sunday Night Football. https://www.nfl.com/news/browns-flight-to-new-jersey-delayed-following-positive-covid-19-test
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Seems like the game will have to be delayed. That would put us on a short week for Pitts

If we're going to lose some of our starting players I'd rather see it delayed a few days.

If we're going to lose some of our starting players I'd rather see it delayed a few days. The league doesn’t delay games because of who tested positive, they delay games based on how many people test positive. Also, if they did delay the game in time for guys to get back then our game would be on Wednesday or so and then we play the Steelers on Sunday and they can’t delay that game because the playoffs are the following week. I understand people’s frustration but let’s also be realistic.

Well if that scenario played out then it would be like us playing on Thanksgiving after a Sunday game. But we would be playing a team we are very familiar with.

Maybe because kickoff is scheduled for 21 hours away and nobody is acting like the plane is going to take off in the next 8 hours. ( I feel like I've got deja freakin lived this before, no, more like memories of what hasn't happened yet.) edit: of the browns final reg. season game of the year being played by itself, meaning no other games on at that time., and it this one, ouf, what heck do i know. dark.

Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

I'm sure they could if the league wanted. Now what about those TV networks?

So if the dolphins and ravens and colts win and we beat the jets then we have to beat the Steelers without our best linebacker plus whoever else we might lose on that artificial turf

Every team has injuries. They just need to go 1-0 and see what happens. Take care of what is within their control and deal with it. Frankly I think we can win out.

Landry, higgins, and DPJ all are out
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

If we can’t run against the Jets loading the box then we don’t deserve to win.

I was thinking if BJ Goodson is a special teams big contributor, maybe all the special teams players have to contract trace and made me think, DPJ, and then think, Kicker? oh, Punter, holder? There is always more than 0% chance it's 2021 for Goodness sakes. ( Someone pm'd me, I thought oh lord I must have typed a cuss word and didn't realize it, here goes at least a week ban. headslap) Not 0% chance, The Steelers game can be the Next Browns game, with the Jets game to follow the Thursday after and move potential playoff opponent to Tuesday. (could be not a problem if  )
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

I always thought they delayed games out of caution for the other team. If one team doesn't have their COVID situation under control then it would be really bad to have them spread to another team.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
