Baltimore at Tampa Bay
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia

There’s a chance all 3 teams in the division could lose while we beat one of them.

of course, that means we’d have to win lol

I was taking a look at the standings today...


Only FIVE teams have winning records in the NFC.

THREE of them are in the NFC East.

Green Bay is traveling to Buffalo to play the Bills on Sunday night. Check out this comment from Aaron Rodgers after the team lost to Washington this past Sunday.


I think he meant to say "exposure." The Freudian slip might very well be prophetic.

Russ is getting cooked on Twitter, podcasts, and sports shows for the following absurd comments. This dude is such a "me" person. Glad we didn't end up w/him.

Twitter is going crazy mocking Russell Wilson for his airplane workout comments. Here are a few.

Not sure if anyone watched last night's game, but Tom Brady looked absolutely miserable in the Post Game PC. Sad to see. Tampa Bay is a mess right now.

Brady seems to be having a miserable final year. Baltimore didn’t even play well IMO .. and they have the injury bug too. Unfortunately, they have the more dynamic playmaker. The AFC is a two horse race, but Baltimore/Cincy are vying for the 3rd IMO

Yeah, getting a guy who signed a long term deal only to throw a tantrum and demand a trade while refusing to play for the team he signed that contract with, then was suspended for 11 games for being a predator is so much better.

I watched it the game but didn't watch any post-game stuff. Brady should have retired when he said he was going to.

Now he's getting divorced, too:

The Browns are 3 1/2 games behind the Rats!...Soon to be 4.

As soon as Watson’s suspension was upped from 6 to 11 games our season was basically over … and then our BLOWN losses against NYJ, ATL, and LA put the nail in the coffin

I'm not sure I believe that.

Finding peculiar and embarrassing ways to lose (especially on D and STs) has been a staple of the Browns for quite some time.

Back-up quality QB play isn't the reason we are 2-5, imo. In order for us to be kept afloat - until Watson's debut - demanded a basic level of competency in all 3 areas simultaneously on game day. That was the nail in the coffin.

If that had happened, we'd probably be 4-3 (afloat).

I think you will find in most cases when teams QB has thrown 2td's and 4int's over the last four games most people would attribute some of those four losses in a row on QB play. We can all point to other factors and ignore that if we are so inclined but trying to claim that isn't a big consideration as being factual isn't reality. When your QB has twice as many int's as he has td's over the last four games trying to pretend that isn't a big factor in your team losing games I believe would take one either working hard to convince themselves or simply being disingenuous.

Reminder: Broncos/Jags at 9:30AM

Probably so, but it isn't over yet. We can still win the division. A wildcard is probably out.

A win Monday night is a must. If we do that we are still in this thing. The fat lady might be in the concert hall, but she isn't singing just yet.

Some posters mention the negativity on this board. they're right and sometimes I'm one of them. It comes from 55 years of being a Browns fan not to mention all we have to listen to from others. That being said, we still have a shot, but we need to win tomorrow night. 4 losses by 9 points and the way we lost can take the fight out of a team. I stated on an earlier post that if we just had 2 good DT's and a little better QB play at crucial times our record could be reversed. We're not that far away. There's a little positivity to start the week and I haven't been drinking

The Russell Wilson horror show continues around the world. Today on prime time inside Wembley stadium/London.

After 2 drives he has 1 INT and 0 first downs. Jags 7 - Broncos 0 (1st Q)

Thank the Lord we didn't sign him.

Ruzzel Wilzon waz clearly done when I zaw him last year on 2 drivez he couldn't know what to do with medium prezzure around him,
with the ball.
Now, ... that waz always hiz game. Zo he waz done last year.

Cowboyz against bearz.

Zhould be 35-7 Cowboyz at the half.. BUT

the REFZ, threw a flag for hit the pazzer ... when the Cowboyz int'd the ball

now,
on the 2nd of 3 incomplete in the end zone, the cowboyz alzo hit Juztin Fieldz, and worze, but none of those were flagz
zee, the flag.. only got thrown to influence the outcome of the game, to make zure it didn't reach a 35-7 blowout zcore in the first half.

zo what happened next?
The bearz threw a td on the next play, 28-I4 instead of 28-7 with the cowboyz in zcoring position again.

then, the cowboyz... THEY threw an int on their own zide of the field

and then had a FG try to make it 28-I7 ( I didn't zee if it went through or not)

Either way,
a 9 point lead, or I2, iz a much more watchable eyeball drawing game??? for the 2nd half than a 35-7 (28 point lead)
which iz more clozer to the truth of the matchup.

But truth, and completion fairnezz be danged, it'z all fixed to draw ratingz and for the money.

hazhtag Not Worth It. #juzt like baseball.

but know it'z been reported that that waz in the planz. Him, and dude from the Raiderz, and another, and whom they got, Watzon.

(How bad iz Watzon going to look?)

Not a rip on Baker Mayfield post....

But Carolina is playing way better without him.

j/c:

Steelers getting their butts kicked by the Eagles, 13 to 35, with two minutes left. Gotta love it!

Really good game.

The Steelers should fire their OC tonight. He's make Maurice Carthon
Look like Andy Reid

Pats defense is getting better and better each game

Carolina is playing better since P.J Walker too over from Mayfield
Yet Eotab kept on telling us Baker was such a good QB and
Cried when the Browns traded him.

The Raiders are a mess. Shut out by the Saints

The Jags continue to lose.

The Cowboys are the best team in NFC

j/c...

This Panther vs Falcons game is bonkers.

DJ Moore is dumb.

LOL @ THAT IDIOT DJ MOORE...Idiot, Idiot, Idiot!!!!!!!!

He must have a -40 IQ.

Go Falcons!

I really don't think we need celebration penalties in the pros, these guys are grown men. Weak

The idiot took off his helmet!!!!!! It wasn't just a celebration!

LOL the OT field goal missed!

I feel sorry for the Panthers new QB. What more could he do….?

LOL! Atlanta wins! Take that DJ Moore.

Christian McCaffrey is the difference

Some observations:

--SF and Shanny pretty much have LA and McVay's number. Run CMC was a huge addition to the team. Deebo will be returning and that duo will be deadly.

--The helmet thing annoys me. They call it on DJ Moore and it may have cost the Panthers a win. Shortly afterwards, Terry McLauren rips his helmet off after catching a pass at the 1 yd line that set up the game-winning sneak and no penalty is called. It's either a rule or it's not. Be consistent.

--Carolina and Washington both look better w/their backup qbs.

--Philly is looking really good. I am amazed at how much Hurts has improved as a passer. He was always a solid guy and a good runner, but he was a horrible passer in college. It's rare to see a guy make those leaps and bounds in such a difficult area.

--Tua is another guy who has improved a lot. He endured a lot w/Flores not believing in him. I do feel bad for Detroit. They fight hard almost every single week.

--Minnesota is flying under the radar. That was an entertaining game. They have a lot of weapons on offense. Not sure if anyone saw DHop's snag for an Arizona TD? Amazing.

--The Raiders laid an egg yesterday. Wonder when the rumblings begin about McDaniels?

--Buffalo is just so good. Allen is the guy who is the most fun to watch play qb Mahomes is also right there. Buffalo has the ability to shuffle their d-linemen a lot, which keeps them fresh. They also have an outstanding LBer in Milano.

--Seattle vs the Giants was a hard fought game. I don't know if the NFL does a Most Improved player, but Geno Smith is putting together an outstanding year. I keep waiting for the wheels to fall off, but he keeps playing well. The Giants desperately need receiving options. Seattle is better off w/out Russ and Pete Carroll is once again able to show that he is a very good coach. Daboll has done a very nice job in NY, as well.

A few thoughts from yesterday:

- Philly is GOOD. Their offense is so dynamic. They define the new era of NFL offense IMO .. they stretch you every which way and are so versatile

- Buffalo is the favorite and it isn’t close. I’d be nervous as a Bills fan. It looks like they’re on another planet.

- Green Bay stinks in terms of throwing the ball. Can you imagine?

- Seattle is sneaky good. Geno Smith and that offense is effective and their defense plays fast.

- CMC on the Niners is scary because he’s an ideal fit for Shanny. He’s going to put up massive numbers if he stays healthy.

- Raiders are an embarrassment. They should never be 2-6 (or whatever they are) with that offensive talent. Awful.

- Falcons/Panthers was a crazy game. Atlanta is leading their division

- Cowboys are a team to watch for now that Dak is back. Scary to play them IMO.

- My dark horse has always been Minnesota. It’s all gonna be if Cousins can protect the ball.

For everyone of your points I'll say this, coaching matters in the NFL.

As for Buffalo, I'm pulling for them but something tells me KC is going to edge them out. It just has one of those feelings that it is going to be a mountain they have difficulty scaling over the years.

Agree with all of this. And I'll just say again coaching matters in the NFL.

In regards to the helmet thing, I am not in favor of calls by the refs that decide games. Whether it's that dumb helmet rule or a ticky tack PI that helps a team win.

Refs should never decide games. And they do it far too often in the NFL. The Falcons deserved to lose for giving up the hail mary. The helmet had nothing to do with the play on the field. So dumb.

After watching the Bills last night I'm not looking forward to playing them. Also, the Jets aren't as good as their record but I think we all know that. I can't get that loss to them out of my head. I really think it's become a big factor in our season. You can't lose games like that.

Oh, the Bills game could be a complete massacre. Like of epic proportions. They could score 70 on us if they stay aggressive.

I can see KC nipping Buffalo, but I really don’t think it’s going to happen this year. Buffalo is THAT much better IMO (and the game will be in Buffalo)

This times a million.

I don't know man. I give Mahomes the slight edge to Allen. And Mahomes is a proven winner. I need to see them scale that mountain. They can do it and it's as close to a coin flip game as possible, but I feel like KC is going to be their kryptonite.

October 16th 2022 the Bills beat K.C. 24-20. It appears they already scaled that mountain you speak of. I do however agree with you that when these two teams meet the results could go either way.

I could see Buffalo pulling their starters before the half, and possibly putting in their practice squad by the end of the game.

You feel so strongly about it, you said it twice!

No doubt Mahomes is out of this world. I can easily see them beating Buffalo (it’s the only team). I just don’t know if KC has the entire package on offense/defense. It should be a heck of a game

As I stated earlier, Buffalo just beat KC two weeks ago.

j/c:

The Eagles/Texans TNF game was not bad at all. Just watched it.

...That's it, watching Cavs for the first time this year.
