DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2023 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 37 Jets 20 Injury Report for NY Jets

That is a long list

War and Peace is shorter lol

If you want to make the list shorter just list the healthy players.

Need to win and get some players some much needed rest in week 18 vs Bengals. Would be nice to go into playoff game much healthier. What is nice is having the Thursday game and an extra 3 days of rest on top of week 18 resting players could be huge for the Browns heading into the playoffs.

The way I look at it...if all those injuries were going to eventually come back and haunt us, it would have happened by now. We're busting thru every obstacle in our path. I see an injury now, it doesn't bother me much at all, I kind of chuckle it off.

one good thing: if we win this week, we have A LOT of rest to the playoff game. Could get as full of a roster as possible

Wilson out. Who will be their qb? Oh he didn't play this week either. Trevor Siemian qb

Yeah Siemian is experienced but not very good IIRC

Getting Juan back at practice

+ finding out Obo may be able to come back in a few weeks could be great for the playoffs.

reports are that we would have Thornhill, Delpit, Ogbo and Walker for the playoffs

One thing about Jets, they have the second best pass defense in NFL and have not allowed a 300 yard passer.. we are going to have to find a way to run the ball. Luckily NYJ don't have any thing to play for and playing spoiler for us doesn't really do anything for them. We should still win without much of a struggle but I could see it being a trap game.. Good thing is we only need pitt to lose against seahawks if we do lose. I def. want to stay the 5 seed and get JAX that first round

Sauce Gardner will be on Cooper, so I look for us to go to Moore/Njoku more

Chief should have plenty of opportunities.

Would love to see the run game get going a little.

Worried about this game. Winning it would be the feel-good, fun-for-the-fans, home game win that the Browns cough up in humiliating fashion. I hope these guys keep their heads straight and we can shake the ghosts of Browns past.

Winning this in front of the fans on prime time would be so sweet.

You really can’t even pay attention to that absurd injury report anymore. It’s ridiculous.

This season is such a crazy, amazing story - from the injuries, to Joe Cool, to other teams coming back to earth - it would be the stuff of legend to bring it all home.

Stefanski, even with all his faults, should be the front-runner in the Coach of the year sweepstakes if they clinch on TNF.

We couldn't ask for a better set up: Primetime game at home against a backup/backup QB to clinch the playoffs

And then we get a TON of time to rest and plan for Jacksonville (most likely)

Unless the Ravens lose to the Dolphins on Sunday. In that scenario, the Browns will not rest anyone with a chance to win the division in week 18 should they beat the Bengals and the Steelers play spoiler, beating the Ravens.

Statistically, their defense - pass and run - is essentially the same as ours. They've given up about 20 yards per game more rushing than us (300 yds for the season), but that's the only significant difference.

If we can't get our run game going, this could get ugly for us, actually. Their offense being completely horrible is the one major thing we have going for us, all things considered.

The Jets usually give us trouble no matter what. We can't take them lightly and I don't think the coaches will.

I certainly get what you're saying but with the current shape of the OL I don't see that as a realistic possibility. I understand that the running game would be the best possible solution to the combat the Jets strength with their passing D but I do believe that Stefanski has to create a more realistic game plan. I pose that they use the passing game in a manner that will be somewhat an extension of the running game.

Short outlet passes and quick slants. More of the bang, bang variety of the 5 to 10 yard types of passes.

I think we all can pretty much agree that those sweep runs to the outside haven't been the answer so I hope we don't see those. But with the RB's chip blocking and then going out for the quick strikes and our TE's doing the same I think we can circumvent the Jets OL all together and move the chains. I have no idea how well that will work but given the options I think that's the best option as it looks on paper.

I think, essentially, we're just going to see Flacco, Amari, and Njoku come out and challenging their DBs. See if we can put them on their heels.

If we can get up a score quick, we can seal it away just like last week.

I would love nothing more than to see that work out.

It'll be interesting to watch Gardner vs Cooper ... the young, top rated CB vs the old vet route runner

I can think of no better game to get the Flacco-Moore connection going. They are going to be keying on on Njoku and now Amari.

As good as our D has been, they have room to grow in terms of timely turnovers. Contain their RB and their backup QB can certainly deliver (to us).

Moore needs to have a big night if the reports of Cooper being 50/50 are true

Allen, Hurts, Mahommes, tua, stroud, mayfield, herbert... All QBs that Jets have played already and still haven't allowed 300 yards. So Flacco's recognition of defense and being able to overcome it are two different things. The saving grace is how bad their offense is., Hopefully we win the field position game and turnovers. Take advantage of short fields and let the defense keep the game under control. Now if flacco does become the first to go over 300.. just give him the CPOY award now.

BREAKING NEWS
At about 6:45 this eve, NFL Network announced that Amari Cooper will not play v. NYJ.

He has to be exhausted after the last game

It is hard for players to play a Thursday night game and have their bodies feeling okay

Maybe this is a good thing

Step up Tilman !

Yup.
Next man up- just like every week this year.

Someone needs to get a jersey for "Injury," since he's lived in the Browns locker room all season...

yeah it might be more of exhaustion too

This could be his breakout. You can see Joe trying to get that going.

365 yard first half! Flacco with 296 passing yards… CRAZY.
