Clear path is Browns win out going 9-7, Steelers lose 2 of 3 to Bills, Jets and Ravens, Titans lose to Saints and Texans twice. 
 

We could still make it in if Titans are 9-7 but that requires the Colts to also finish 9-7. 
 

FYI. Colts play Saints, Panthers and Jags.

I don't know where you saw that, but if it were to come down to Titans, Steelers, and Browns then the Browns are out.

For Wild Card, the 1st step is to determine the highest from each division. So that would eliminate one of Browns/Steelers. Then it would go to head to head, which would certainly factor in the Titans loss.

We would need the Steelers, TItans, Colts, Raiders, and of course our Browns to finish 9-7 to make the playoffs.

If the Titans finish higher then the Colts  (i.e. TItans finish 9-7 Colts finish 8-8) then the Titans will get in.

"Very much" is a bit of stretch don't you think?

TJ Watt has been wreaking havoc this year. Has sacks in 6 straight games and already this year has a career high in QB Hits. 

I would expect him to keep that streak alive.

Best: Butch Mangini Crenell 

Worst: Hue and Freddie, are on a whole different level of ineptitude.

I saw where there were about 6 or 7 first year coaches in the NFL.

Only the GB coach has a winning season, the others were as bad a record, or winless.

It's not on the coach - the Browns are playing 100% for Kitchens and the rest of the coaches.

Some of you would have fired Chuck Noll after his first year:

  1969	37	14	1
  1970	38	14	5
  1971	39	14	6

Well a glaring difference is Noll, Rooney and everyone in Pittsburgh knew that  the ‘68 team had absolutely no talent. Only 5 players on the ‘68 team were still in Pittsburgh on the 74 championship team. 
 

In Cleveland, we think we have a damn good roster, certainly talented enough to win the AFC North, and still put on a pathetic display of ineptitude every Sunday. 
 

Not really apples to apples.

Our defense sucks.  We can't tackle worth a shit.  Or cover for that matter.

Agree, up 28-25 in the fourth, NEED a stop and the defense can’t get one. 

A good running game slices through our “vaunted” Dline like a hot knife through butter.
