Jones or not, I expect to see both teams run the ball.

I see a low scoring game where we have to be efficient with the possessions because it will be a "fast' game with fewer possessions because of the running. It will be important to take and make fieldgoals.

Time for Cade to shake the hiccups as he has missed a few extra points and a 45 yard kick last week. I expect those to be made. I don't hold the 55 yard kick against him. Once the kicks start to get out much over 45 the chances go down so just because he has the leg doesn't mean we can start looking at 55 yard tries as chip shots. At least not at this point in his career.

Homes, my point is that we have not been blown out in any game. The Chargers have one of the very best rosters in the NFL and a top-tier qb. They didn't blow us out. We could have very well won that game. We are not as bad as some of you guys are claiming.

All he needs to be able to do is hand the ball off. Opponent's passing game has not been our issue, except for a few absolutely blown coverages. Stopping the run has proven to be a challenge lately.

Vers I agree. We could easily be 5-0 if we could have played even decent run D.

True Cap

I'd be very surprised if Jones plays. High ankle sprains are usually 4-6 weeks and his was deemed severe. The videos of him practicing show a guy that lacks mobility on a rollout.

We need a win in the worst way this week. For a multitude of reasons. Keeping the circling vulchers off us is not the least of those reasons.

Another poster mentioned we are close to being a viable contender and I agree. IMO if we had a healthy DW playing even close to the way he played 2 years ago we'd be 5-0 now. Losing 3 games by 6 points really grates on me. I think DW would have made a difference. Going up against a coach like BB this week the way he exploits weaknesses has me worried. I really don't see us winning this game. Look what he did to us last year with Baker and basically the same team and a better run D. I'll hope for the best.

Yeah I expect him to neutralize our running game and screen game. It will be on Brissett to make plays in the pocket

Looking back at last years game; the week before, against the Bengals we dumped Burrow five times... twice by a blitzing Troy Hill. Then, when facing the rookie, we did just about nothing to make him uncomfortable. Their top RB, Damien Harris was out and we all knew we had to stop Jones.

He finished 19 of 23 for 198 with 3 TDs. First rookie in franchise history to toss 3 without an INT.

After the game, Garrett took a stab at the coaches: “We never had a chance just because we didn’t make any adjustments on the sideline or when we had time to.”

Hopefully, even if we lose, it won't be as bad (on and off the field) as last year.

But they don't and there are reasons for that.

j/c...

For some reason, I'm a bit more pleased and hopeful about Rogers than Williams.

say the next line Out Loud because it's true.

The worst situation the Browns offense has been in in the last month, is about to attempt a pass inside the opponents 5 yard line.
(I0 yard line.)
Far from 5-0.

I was hoping to see Jones. Jacob Phillips is terrible.

I agree Vers. Phillips is a major issue for us. He and the DTs are simply not good

I was hoping as well, but I suppose it is a bit too soon to be up to speed. I would have had in in there. He has to be up to speed on something.

As poor as our (run) defense, indeed our defense in general is, we are better than a 2-4 team. I expect another good game from the offense and if the defense can elevate their game, we will win 27-21 (perhaps in OT)....

I have to agree about Phillips. I thought once he got healthy he would be a solid player for us. Looks like I'm wrong. Too bad because I like the kid.

I'm sure the analytics told Stefanski that when guys are traded mid season directly after a game on a day when the temperatures are 80 degrees or less and the winds are blowing out of the northwest at least 15 mph and their names are Deion or Jones and it's going up against the Patriots, it's best to give them another week. The analytics say that it is nearly 100% when this has happened it is a good idea to give the player another week to "learn the system".

But hey, a professional football team had to comment on practicing tackling before week 6 so it's all going to be alright. Joe Woods's eyes were red he was working so hard!

This team is a joke. Compare them to the Guardians.

Browns fans deserve so much better. So sick of mediocre to less than mediocre results.

The Browns are going to lose today and be 2-4. That means the ceiling for the remainder of the season is going to be about 5 wins. That is disgraceful.

"The Browns are going to lose today and be 2-4. That means the ceiling for the remainder of the season is going to be about 5 wins. That is disgraceful."

As much as I hate to say it, this is exactly how I feel. Their rookie QB is going to look mlike a seasoned veteran, and they will have 200 yards rushing

Enough with the close losses. This is a must win game. Woods better be aggressive and blitz the rookie QB. The Pats will probably stack the line to stop our running game. Brissett has to have a good game. I say the Browns win a close one.

They were playing Detroit. Everyone looks great against Detroit!

Not their defenses against Detroit. The Lions had scored 35, 36, 24 and 45 points respectively until the Patriots shut them out last week. They were one of the most productive offenses in the NFL until then.

Except us. 6-19 lifetime and we barely won the game last year. Ugly game it was.
