DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2020 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 48 Steelers 37 Browns will only win this next playoff game If

I really wanted Malik Harrison from OSU in last years draft .. With Collins in the middle you can move Philips and his speed out side .. While were at it , I like Trevon ; Safety out of TCU to keep building up the middle .

If Taki is playing as well as PFF as the like say he is, and we have Phillips back healthy.... do we even need this kid?

Honest question.

that’s probably up to how the coaches evaluate them. I’d be inclined to draft the best LB, S, CB, or DE ... whichever area our staff thinks needs upgraded the most (and that has players available obviously)

Would love to see a Corp of Taki ,, Collins ,, Philips ,, Ypu can sub for Taki on obvious passing downs . Taki is Slooooooow..

Phillips speed was immiedately noticeable... he is THAT much more athletic than our other LBs

Wow! Don't think that you can be too nasty up the middle, and depth is part of that because the pounding is relentless. We need more runstopping at this point in the season IMO.

We are talking draft down the road.. Collins

IF... we could turn back the clock on a worldwide pandemic.

At this point the playoff game is just a formality to stamp the end of a pretty solid season.

I guess the positive is that the team will get a taste of the postseason, not that it really means much. It may be different if there was actually something to be gleaned from something like "going into hostile territory", but there won't even be fans there. What a freakshow this year is.

It would be nice to get the Steelers monkey off our back, maybe next year. The bright side is that this won't really be heartbreaking as much as expected... This team was not ready to compete at a championship level this year anyway. Got a lot of work to do on the defensive side of the ball in the offseason!

Half of the Steelers starters must be put on the CV19 list on Friday for the the Browns to win...

The D sucks and the Oline is missing Joe Bitonio so the run game will be suffer.

Both coaches and starting players are missing...it will be a "game for the ages" if they pulled the upset...they far exceeded my expectations for the season, and could have even done better...but unfortunately, I think the season ends Sunday night.

Any given Sunday. Its going to be on Baker and the coach to pull this one off.

We can play loose. We have absolutely nothing to lose. No one expects us to win, no one. Pull out all the stops.

yeah, this is one thing we have going for us ... last game it was the opposite

Baker needs to channel his first year. And the coach needs to let him. I think Baker knows enough now that he can be more dangerous than his rookie year. Come to think of it this will be on Baker and I like our odds.

AB leaves town and this looser steps right in. Some things never change in Yinzertucky.

Except he's not very good.

LMAO. ^ THAT is awesome! ^

We shorten the game by running Chubb and Hunt early and often. We need to roll out Baker to the left to keep Watt away from him. Also, lots of screens. The Steelers love to bring pressure and screens can beat pressure.

On defense we need to be opportunistic. We won't have the horses to compete with the Steelers. If we can force some turnovers we will hopefully be able to outscore them.

No it's not.

Ok, it's hilarious... but Mack Wilson is pretty much the last person that should be posting that up. He's terrible, and probably well on his way to being pushed off the starting roster if not the gameday roster.

JuJu has made a thing about giving opposing teams ammo going into gameday, and that's something that they have to deal with in their own locker room... but he's more right than wrong. We're the same ol' Browns until we're not. We just made the playoffs and had guys in the news for (albeit relatively small) stupid stuff. Plus the weed on top of it. We've been embarrassed by the Steelers once this year, and then we were able to squeak out a win vs their PS.

JuJu is dumb (and Mack is dumber), but I wouldn't expect them to change how they feel until we sweep them during the season or eliminate them from the playoffs.

I wish we had a defense that could really impose some intimidation and do something about it haha.

I hate when players talk before the game ... just not my style. Though, it basically has no bearing on the outcome.

Is it bad that we’re not going to have a practice before a playoff game? That seems bad.

"But we're talking about practice man. What are we talking about? Practice? We're talking about practice, man."

Yup. Spot on. We are until we aren't.

Never root for players to get injured but if somebody was to knock JuJu into the middle of March, I would be ok with that.

IF...we have a coaching job for the ages. I'm really rooting for Alex Van Pelt. We all love Stefansky, but I think we all agree there's an occasional lapse in play-calling judgement. IF Van Pelt can call a perfect O game, we have a chance, because I'm not counting on our D.

Additionally I'm hoping that Stefansky is adequately impressed to give Van Pelt play-calling responsibility next year.

If we pressure Ben

GET MAD CLEVELAND!!

I get real tired of any line of thinking that

THE BROWNS CAN GO AHEAD AND SUCK NOW BECAUSE THEY EXCEEDED SOMEONES EXPECTATIONS ALREADY


Anyone who accepts that or expects that can Go root for the Jets.

They already won 11 so it's ok if they give up????

What the For!

Lol hes great

I think the Browns need to keep Nick Harris off the field!
I don't care if that means Elliott? DT, or Sheldon Richardson line up at OG left side, whatever it takes

Browns cannot have a revolving door on the Offensive Line. STOP!

HAVE WE JUST SEEN THROWLONG IN THE FLESH!!!????

He looked good the first game. The second not so much but since he was injured and is now on the IR, I wonder if the injury had something to do with his poor second game. I assume he got injured at some point during the Jets game.

I see that Juju is a real intellectual.

Hey good we can finally practice

That might help.
