tampadawgs Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 This game is a toss up to me ''The Browns rank 4th in total Defense and the Lions rank 23rd, The Lions Rank 9th in total Offense and we rank 27th This game all depends on MegaTron if he plays and we contain him we win, if he does not play at all we win. I think we will have some issues with Bush, seems like Browns had problems with Spiller last week, and IMO Bush is better than Spiller. What will we get out of Weeden??? He is a BIG factor in this game Without MegaTron Browns 24 Lions 9 With MegaTron Browns 24 Lions 21 Again Lions are a good team, true test for the Browns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Agree on Megatron factor... especially with Burleson out for the year. Actually think he will be the difference between a win and a loss... Then there's our Mr. Immobile vs their D-line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgojackets Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 This game scares me. If weeden can get rid of the ball quick we might be ok. If not well start the Lions D in fantasy because they will have their share of sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Packers got 5 sacks yesterday - got to think we can get somewhere near that, especially if Megatron doesn't play. On the other hand, he was apparently 'very close' to playing, so you have to assume he's healthy come Sunday. It's going to be very close either way.

The Cysko Kid Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Johnson is a great receiver better than AJ green so it will be interesting to see how well Joe Haden matches up against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 They will pressure the hell out of Weeden. I don't think Weeden has what it takes against them. Hope i'm wrong. Whats up Soju Bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 We're going to see more combo coverages and safety help on Megatron, I believe. Haden is good but the NFL is making it hard to man cover even average receivers, much less Megatron. Unfortunately that may result in slightly less blitzing. Or Horton is gonna pin his ears back and send the house all the time, hoping that Haden can stick with Megatron for 2-3 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 If Sheard is back for the game I really do like our chances. We need to rotate our edges more. If we can pressure Stafford we should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comeonman Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Bad feeling about this game, I see Suh tearing Weeden a new asshole because he will hold on to the ball for 5 seconds every time. Defense has to have another HUGE game or it will not be pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenew23 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Again, D and ST will be key factors in this game. Hopefully, Weeden realizes he doesn't need to carry this team b/c it is obvious that the team can carry him if he just doesn't make mistakes. I expect Gordon to have a big game. I also expect DQ and Robertson to be ready to handle Reggie, b/c their play will be key. Bryant, Taylor, and Rubin will get pressure up the middle which should disrupt Stafford fairly often. Also, the Haden-Johnson matchup should be fun to watch. If Weeden plays solid, we win handly. If he plays okay, we win a close one. If he turns the ball over, we lose a close one...

Nails Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I say pray for rain - I still like to think that dome teams have trouble in inclement weather...

jrb12711 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Defense has an opportunity to get to Stafford, but so does Detroit against Weeden. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Lions gets 5-6 sacks in this game. I hope Norv rides with Willis early and we can get some success in the run game. The Lions are currently 22nd in the league in run defense so I'm hoping a long week will have McGahee ready to carry the load. As much as we hate Weeden, he's gotten objectively better in each of his three games this season. Norv's a smart guy and I hope he gets some quick passes in to get Weeden to see the field more quickly. Get Benji on some tunnel screens and Gordon on a quick slant. As for Megatron, you just have to do the best to contain him as possible. Safety help, whatever it takes because that guy is nearly impossible to stop one on one.

Slamfire44 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 If Johnson does play coming off injury he will probably be less than 100% which should be a plus for our defense. That being said he is still a threat to impact the outcome of the game. Weeden will be the key in this one and I just don't have the same confidence as when Hoyer is running the offense. Our defense will keep us in the game, but Weeds needs to limit his mistakes. That's if Suh doesn't stomp a mud hole in ass first.

D Bone Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Although the Statue of Liberty under center scares the hell out of me, I have some faith that Norv & Chud can game plan their way around his slow twitch brain fibers. He's going to have to be much more than a "game manager" due to our total lack of a running game, but that being said, I believe he can make a couple/several big plays down field, but ultimately it will be his mistakes, or lack thereof that determine if we win. If at the end of the game his stats read 2 sacks and no picks or fumbles, then we win the game........ I just fear the line will look more like 6/3/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbus Brownie Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 tough one. Cousins, Greco, and Shwartz will get manhandled. Still think we have a great chance to win If Weeden doesnt shoot us in the foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I never like a game against the Lions. Our all-time record is horrible aganist them. Yea, the Browns have only a .222 win pct. vs. the Lions. The only team they are worse against is the Broncos at .202. And now they are not much better vs. the Ravens at .241.

Bammer Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 A win against Buffalo who had a rookie QB in for a half ? A win yes, but with an offense capable of throwing up points, and Weeden at the helm and an anemic running game, I fear the worst... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballpeen Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I really don't expect to go home a winner this week. As I said earlier, we always lose to the Lions and we do have some issues. That said, I won't blame Weeden unless he deserves the blame. I just fear that if we lose, many are going to blame him no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaplesBrowns420 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I don't know why, because I have pretty much always felt strongly about Weeden sucking, but I think he might come out guns blazing Sunday. If he would just stop thinking, he could be pretty good. It is like watching Phil Mickelson play golf. Granted Phil is arguably one of the most talented players ever, but the same rules apply, if he starts thinking, he's done. You can see the steam from the decrepit little gerbil inside their head running way too fast for them. The less they think, the better they do. U.Jiminez is another one that goes to that school. Quit thinking Brandon, just fucking play! Please learn that in the next couple of days. I think if he plays well, we will destroy Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
