Browns being Browns

Got them a 3-1 record

So keep on Being Browns

I'm enjoying the Browning ways so far

Wilson is obviously the biggest threat offensively (granted that Hall does not play). Plus the weather looks rainy and wet so that should mean a lower scoring type game.

Our offense needs to limit penalties and turnovers (easier said then done).

The game scares me tho - teams going opposite directions like this can truly go either way

I feel like it will be partly about stopping their run game/Braelon Allen. Assuming Graham is out and this defense hasn't been good stopping the run to begin with, if we can limit big plays in the running game, that will be a huge step. I think I'm ok letting Geno Smith rip it and if the Jets win that way, then good for them. But he doesn't scare me much with this pass defense.

Stop the penalties do what we did Thursday better.

This game to me is a prove it game. It's a game on paper that we should win. The Jets have lost 3 in a row and we've won 3 in a row. If we've turned the corner this is one we should win. If we lose it's the same old same old. JMO

yeah if we have any intention on making games in December matter, we have to win this game IMO

Boston has had less catches than Wilson but with more total yards and the same amount of TD's, 2.

The jets have given up a total of 494 rushing yards this season with a 4.3 yards per carry average and a total of 4 rushing TD's allowed. They rank 25th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed, giving up an average of 123.5 rushing yards per game

The Browns have given up 453 rushing yards this season with a 4.6 yards per carry average and 4 rushing TD's allowed. In rushing yards allowed they rank 16th in the NFL with an average of 113.2 yds allowed per game.

Through the first four games of the 2026 season, the Jets' defense is allowing an average of 193.2 passing yards per game (or 193.3 depending on the tracking source), giving up a total of 822 yards and 5 passing touchdowns. Ranked 6th.

The Cleveland Browns have allowed 1,017 passing yards through 4 games in the 2026 NFL season. An average of 213.8 passing yards allowed per game, which ranks 19th in the NFL. The Cleveland Browns have allowed 9 passing touchdowns through 4 games.

As much as it "seems" the Browns need to focus on run defense in actuality they may need to focus more on pass defense.

Stats don't tell the whole story but they are usually a pretty good indicator.

Good info, thanks.

Sounds like it would be a great game for Watson to push it to the next level.

I don't know how their pass defense is so good (good pressure, bad opponents?) but we need Deshaun to shine on Sunday.

I think that may have a better possibility of working if they attack what has thus far been a weak point of theirs first. Their run defense. If we can loosen up their secondary and force a safety and or CB to come up in run support that increases the odds of success in the passing game. That's just my take on things from here.

You're right. Good assessment. I think I jumped straight to the "well, we won't be able to run, so... "

Hopefully this will be the last week without Sampson.

It may be tough to push the ball down the field with a rainy forecast. It would be a great time for our run game to start clicking more

Good week for an opportunity to sharpen the run. I would like to see Bond and Boston. Our D needs pressure. If we can run and move sticks, score well, then give them a diet of that.
