It's impossible to escape - one win and I'm already on the hope band wagon.

Hoping to see the defense continue to gel - especially the DL.
Hoping to see the OL gel and maybe a little extra help with the run game.
Hoping the 2 rookie WR continue to separate and look as good as they did vs Tampa.
Hoping Fannin is the same dude he was last year.
Hoping our QB play is average or better and that we score 20+ points.
Hoping the penalties go wayyy down.

I don't even need to see them win , the Panthers have been a little bit of a surprise team this year and better than most probably expected, especially on offense ... I just want them to compete hard for all 4 quarters. A win would be an unexpected bonus.

I am hopeful that as each game is played the team improves overall.

I believe we can compete if we get consistent qb play.

It all comes down to the performance of Watson. Can he show that the second half of the Bucs game was not an anomaly.

I don't even know what to expect from DW. So, it becomes wait and see what happens.

I honestly don’t know what to expect from the TEAM. Are we going to build on the Tampa game or regress? Again hoping for the best but cautious. I don’t want to get my hopes too high

Some people may disregard the Panthers, but their offense is legit. Young has really come on strong and McMillan/Coker/Hubbard are legit.

Their run defense has been a problem, but so has our run offense.


I think Panthers are dangerous, but let's hope the home crowd propels us


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

After last week I don't have a clue how the team will play this week.

Who knows if DW can repeat his performance?

I do have some confidence in Monken. I think he knows how to prepare for a team.

Can we win this game? If Watson plays like he did against the Bucs then yes.

I don't understand how they did that. It was like one day they just randomly decided that they're good and started winning games.

With this team at this point in time?

"Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get,"


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

yeah they were bad until they weren't - it was random

Going into this game I am in the dark.

The last game really caught me off guard.

I don't know what this team will look like this week. Last game the defense looked way better than the week before.

I am gaining respect for Monken. I think the players respond to him.

We have the Steelers and Jets coming up. After five games we should have a good idea if the Browns can actually compete this year.

I don't feel the Panthers are dangerous.

They were 8-9 last season

The Panthers were 3-6 away games in 25. Yes they beat the Falcons at home against a 3rd string QB

Chicago scored 59 points to their 37

Panthers put up 34 against the Falcons to their 3

They are 1-2 and sitting in the 3rd spot in the NFC South with a .333 PCT

The Bears are also sitting in the 3rd spot in the NFC North with a .500 PCT with a 1-1 record

The Browns are in the 4th spot in the AFC with a .500 PCT

I believe The Browns with the home field advantage, the return of Chubb to retire as a Brown and the new regime wanting to win at home as much as the do gives the Browns the leverage to pull out the win.

Like it or not, I believe Watson really wants to win this more than anyone.
