DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2014 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 13 Panthers 17 Predictions

Well, now that I am a Dawgtalk rookie again, I will make my usual lamebrain prediction.
Browns 0
Panthers 5000

I will never predict a loss. I think the Browns WRs are going to be hot this week playing in warmer weather. Same with the running game. This will be a high scoring game because of th injuries to the browns defense.

Browns- 27

Panthers- 20

Everybody knows your not a rookie bro. Post counts mean nothing around here. If they did I would be King instead of just another stupid hillbilly

Since I rarely get it right, I'll predict a loss and hope (mostly, I kind of like the better draft pick if we lose) I'm wrong.

The Carolina DAs 24
Da Cleveland Browns 16

I like our chances in this one. We were embarrassed last week and I dont expect that to happen this week. We get smart reduce the playbook, simplify. I expect a close game but we squeak one out 26 to 24.

I think we lose out.

Score doesn't matter...we lose.

If the same team that showed up last week plays, we lose again. If the one that beat Pitt and Cinci shows up, we win and go .500 for the season.

I think the Browns get there act together and win. 24-10. and With a win, they will be undefeated against the NFC South!!

My prediction, who's gonna win this one? No idea; I really don't know. Hopefully we won't all get the life sucked outta us, like the last game. You know?

- GO BROWNS!

Call me a homer, but I thin that we win this weekend.

Unfortunately, I think we'll lose against the Ravens.

If Cam doesn't play, we win. Carolina has absolutely NOTHING on offense outside of him.

31-3, Panthers.

They have won both games DA has started.

I guess it all depends which Browns team shows up - the gritty one or the one that just mails it in. At this point, I simply don't know...

I predict that I may leave my chair to do other thing while the game spirals toward continued humiliation of the Brown and Orange.

I predict I will stop watching at the half, when we will be down by 3 scores. End result 31-6 Panthers.

I just can't see how we win either of the next two.

Guys are already planning their vacations.

Not even sure I'm going to watch.

Kelvin Benjmin and Greg Olsen are both playing very well this season.

Browns--13
Panthers--10

I think this will be an ugly and boring game from both teams.

jc
Browns-30
Panthers - 10

Players get back their pride and the backups step up.

I'm going to predict a win here, simply because we can't be as bad as we were last week. I'm not sure I believe it, but that's where I'm going.

20-17 Browns

Once a loser always a loser. I agree with Bernie..this organization is crap and it starts at the top.

Browns - 0
Carolina - 34

If Johnny shows some improvement and the running game/defense both decide to show up...

Browns 24
Panthers 16

If we get the same effort we saw last week (or lack their of?)

Browns 6
Panthers 31

My gut tells me we'll see the ladder, but my hearts hoping for the first (obviously).

I predict a breakout game for this offense!!!!

7 first downs, and 200 total yards. 1TD, and only 6 punts.

Does Carolina have a run game? If not, we win.

... what you did there... I see it.

This game isn't so much about Johnny , more so the Browns as a team and their COACHING STAFF ! Now that I have had some time to look at what Shanny did last week ,I am really at a loss ..

This game rides on the coaches... how do you motivate a team that was once in the playoff hunt and now virtually out of it...

I think we'll get it done.


Browns win.

WELCOME BACK SUPER!!!

its just low hanging fruit EO.

Some people like to wallow in their misery

Sadly, enough, I echo this

Thanks guys!

Panthers 24
Browns 14

I truly believe the offense line sold out last week. I think the team has quit. I look for another embarrassing loss.

When Thomas made the comment about starting Manzeil was giving up on the season, I believe he meant the team not the coaches. I respect thomas, but can't shake the feeling that they dogged it last week.

The game starts off slow, both teams unable really to muster any offense in the first quarter..

Starting off the second quarter Derek Anderson hits a big play action pass to Kelvin Benjamin down the sidelines and gets Carolina in FG range. 3-0 Carolina.

Cleveland tries to respond with their own play action pass deep to Gordon, but the ball sails a bit as Johnny is hit as he throws. Roman Harper is able to pick the pass off and return it back to the Browns side of the field.

On the following drive Carolina uses their run game to move the ball down into the redzone, and finally is able to hit Greg Olsen over the middle for the Touchdown. 10-0 Carolina.

Towards the end of the half, Cleveland finally is able to move the ball with the run game and some quick passes. Getting into FG range to close out the half, Hartley drills it through. 10-3 Carolina.

The Browns come out in the second half, Johnny all alone in the backfield with Four WRs and Cameron out wide.. They move the ball quickly, running no huddle as Carolina struggles to keep up. Manziel hits Hawkins over the middle and he breaks a tackle and is running up the sidelines! Touchdown Browns! But wait! There's a flag on the field! The play is called back due to a questionable Offensive Pass Interference call on Josh Gordon on what was deemed a pick, but was clearly incidental contact as Gordon was running his route and ran into a defender.. Cleveland is unable to muster up enough to get the score back and settles for a FG. 10-6 Carolina.

It's the same score going into the Fourth Quarter as Cleveland and Carolina both struggle to run the ball and keep drives alive. The no huddle seen earlier seems to be gone as Cleveland has went back to the read option game which doesn't work.

Carolina has it's own problems as they drive down the field only to fumble a hand off between Anderson and Johnathan Stewart, Kruger falls on the ball and Cleveland takes over!

Cleveland catches a break when on a big 3rd down incompletion, the drive is extended when Charles Johnson is called for Roughing the Passer when his hand smacks Manziel in the helmet. They are still unable to punch it into the endzone and have to settle for another Hartley FG. 10-9 Carolina.

With 4 minutes left, and Carolina having possesion of the ball, they look to kill the clock. They are able to move the ball, and get multiple first downs and have made it to Clevelands side of the field with less than 2 minutes to go..

On 3rd and 8 on Clevelands 35 Yard Line Carolina looks to ice the game. Anderson takes the snap and drops back.. He looks left and pump fakes.. He looks right and rifles the ball to Jerricho Cotchery.. But it's picked off! ..No! It's dropped by K'Waun Williams! Williams had an open field in front of him but couldn't secure the ball!

On 4th down Carolina takes their last time out as they decide what to do.. Eventually calling Graham Gano to kick the 53 yard Field Goal to go up 4, not allowing Cleveland to win with a FG of their own..

Gano lines up and kicks it through the uprights.. But wait! A Timeout was called by Cleveland! They burned their last timeout right before the ball was snapped!

Gano seems upset with the officials and is seen arguing with Clevelands ST Coach Chris Tabor.. The camera's focus in on Gano as he can be seen mouthing "Well I'll just [EXPLETIVE DELETED] Kick it again then!"

Carolina lines up for a second FG and it's snapped and booted.. AND BLOCKED! Buster Skrine got around the edge and got his hand on the ball! K'Waun Williams scooped up the ball! There's no one to chase him down! Touchdown Browns! Williams redeems himself!

The Browns are unable to convert a 2 Point Conversion and lead 15-10 with under a Minute left to go..

Carolina comes out starting at their 20. Anderson takes the snap and drops back, he looks deep for Kelvin Benjamin but he's triple covered.. He finds Greg Olsen over the middle.. But it's picked off! Donte Whitner undercut Olsen and got the ball!

Game over! Browns Win 15-10!

+1

Browns - 10

Panthers - 16

Talk of drafting a QB next year is full steam ahead and the merry go round of misery continues.

Benjamin has insanely inflated numbers because Carolina forces the ball to him.

I said this before the Indy game, that we lose out. I definitely have not seen anything since that would get me to change my mind.

This game will not be the embarrassment that the Cincy game was, or the Baltimore game will be. But it will be a two score loss.

No one is going to want to be the team that Manziel beats. They will go after him and we'll lose.
