DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Looking Back: Browns 13 Packers 10 How can we win?

I know things look bad, but if we can beat the Packers, we’d be 1-2 with lots of season left.

Their defence is looking good, but so is ours. Run the ball effectively and loosen up their pass rush, play solid on ST.
Get some breaks and ffs get some turnovers.

So, fellow DTers, what do we need to do, to create an upset?

Maybe if Green Bay doesn't show up and has to forfeit?

We have to get up by double-digits early and play tough defense. They have to shoot themselves in the foot a few times to self-destruct their own comeback. That's the only scenario I see.

Them shooting themselves in the foot and/or we get all the breaks - tipped balls get intercepted, we force fumbles or just get lucky with the way the ball bounces. Offense and ST both have to step it up 3 levels. It looks like our D is good - but they have a good D and a good O ... it's going to be tough - possibly unwatchable if we repeat a similar level of performance as we did vs Baltimore. In previus years it's the sort of game we unexpectedly look competitive in, so never say never.

Judkins needs his breakout of sorts. Nothing crazy,,,say 80+ on the ground and a TD. We have to have some ability to control the clock.

If Joe looks cooked, turn the ball over to Gabe at the half and don't look back. Give gabe 8 games. If he looks bad, look towards Sanders for the last 6-7 games.. If Gabe looks good and is showing improvement, stick with him.

I worry about Sanders. I don't think he played in a structured O at Colorado. It was the sanders and Hunter show. I am not sure he understands the playbook and has trouble with defensive reads. That is the only explanation I have as to why he dropped as far as he did. He showed flash on the college football field but fell flat talking X's and O's when talking with NFL coaches.

That's right Bone but do you think this team is capable of doing all that in ONE game?

Only chance IMO is to gain 3+ turnovers and hope our offense can luckily capitalize a few times

We won't, the option should be to

Fire Depodesta, Fire Stefanski, Fire Berry.

New setup:

HC = Gruden
DC = Schwartz
OC = McDaniels (Josh)

And then just to rub salt in the wound of Goodell, sign Justin Tucker. I want the Browns to become the new Raiders of old.

By the grace of God?

Apparently "turnovers" is a foreign word to us; it is not part of our vocabulary....

The Browns 0-2 start, I don't believe is a true reflection on the team.

The loss to Cinnci was 4 points by missed kicks.. The D played great

The loss to the birds was the O couldn't keep the D off the field. The D played very well until the gas tanks emptied due to driving too hard.

If the Packers come into the game thinking it's going to be a push over, there's a good chance that will give the Browns an opportunity to get all cylinders going.

I believe both defenses want to prove they are the best on the field, which hopefully means the offense just has to take opportunities that are given to them.

I don't think this is going to be a blow out. I feel it's going to be a close game.

I can see the Browns pulling off a last minute upset.

The ST and run games have to be really on the money.

Got to get Wr's stretching the field and catching the ball.

This game is winnable !

Fingers crossed !

Shocker… we win this one. 21-17. Defensive battle. We finally click on O. Book it.

we never score more than 20 points, so that makes it hard to win against good teams

Love your optimism, DoubleD and hope you are correct! Let's check back at 4 pm tomorrow...

Instead of the pickle dance happy guy

We Brown fans can be Dawg bone happy !

Hard to win when l defenses all they have to do is play Cover 2 and the CB press . Knowing none of the WRs can consistently seperate and not 1 WR can blow past the safeties. It is so easy to defense
The Browns offense . And if you cant score , you can't win.
The offense is lacking imagination. Your QB has the mobility of Stephen Hawking .
Luckily for the Browns the Packers offense is missing Jaylen Reed.but the Browns secondary made Dontez Walker look like a All Pro.
Any chance of winning by the Browns will need Pro Bowl performance levels by guys who aren't Pro Bowlers like Jeudy , Bush, McGuire .

Correction: Act of God.

Grace is an act of God.

So it appears. Is he busy next weekend? Good for our kicker and a new back as well. What an astounding win.


I saw there was a flag; what was it for?

It's 4:30

Where are you ?!

LOL

Packers jumped off sides

I think a Packer was offside on the kick,

Lol. I'm here DoubleD ready to take my lumps...

I'm pretty sure with the win today

You won't be receiving any lumps

Unless there is something we don't know about ?

LOL !

Monday is better with a win. The whole damn week is.
Got the turnovers - when we REALLY needed them- got the clutch ST play courtesy big Shelby, and then Andre nails a 55-yarder .

Delpit made a play that could be a season-saver. Always liked him since we drafted him.
Big play. That was a team-effort win that needed breaks to go our way. On to Detroit.

Njoku on offense and Delpit on defense are guys that have slowly come along and rounded out their games. Really strong and dependable at their positions.

Thanks. I didna see it. Christmas came early to the lakefront that year. . ..
