The Gipper Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 The Browns are in competition with a number of teams for a playoff spot, each of whom have either 3 or 4 losses thus far. . Let's look at the remaining schedules for them and their competition. (I am not including Pitts and KC): Browns: At JAX; At Tenn; Home Ravens ; At Giants; At Jets; Home Pittsburgh. Four Road games, 3 vs. playoff contenders Ravens: At Steelers; Home Cowboys; At Browns; Home Jags; Home Giants; At Bengals.....3 Road games, 2 vs. playoff contenders Colts: Home Titans; At Houston; At Raiders; Home Houston; At Pittsburgh; Home JAX...3 Road games, 3 vs playoff contenders Titans: At Indy; Home Browns; At JAX; Home Lions; At Packers; Home HOuston.....3 Road games, 3 vs. playoff contenders RAiders: At Atlanta; At NY Jets; Home Colts; Home Chargers; Home Miami; At Denver.....3 Road games; 2 against playoff contenders Dolphins: At NY Jets; Home Bengals; Home Chiefs; Home Pats; At Raiders; At Bills.....3 Road games. 3 vs. playoff contenders Bills: Home Chargers; At 49ers; Home Steelers; At Denver; At Patriots; Home Dolphins .....3 road games, 2 against playoff contenders. Note: I did not include the 6 loss Pats and Broncos in playoff contenders....not that those would be easy games... On the face of this, I stick with the theory that the Browns have the toughest schedule....4 road and 3 playoff contenders. I can only hope that those 3 "easy" road games turn out to be just that....sure wins. Easiest then would be Raiders....only 2 more games against playoff contenders....both of them at home. Though, the Bills also have the same....2 games vs. contenders, both at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted November 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Here is something else to consider: Ravens play at Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving night. If they lose and If the Browns were to beat the Jags on Sunday then, they would open up a full 2 game lead over the RFs....... Should we...God forbid, be pulling for the Steelers to pull that off?

The Gipper Posted November 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Current standings here: Bills 8-3 inside track to AFCE title Titans 8-3 inside track on AFCS title Browns 8-3 which for now put us on top of the WC race Dolphins 7-4 We do not play them, but for now we do own the edge also in conference record. Colts 7-4....plus we have the head to head advantage on them. Ravens 6-4....play Steelers on Tuesday.....we could end up with 2 game lead....but we do have to play them again. ...plus they beat us once. Raiders 6-5. we now have 2 game lead.....or 1 game as they have tiebreak on us. IMHO...the Browns still have the toughest remaining schedule: Tits/Rats/Squibs.

I hope the Browns loss to them won't be a factor in the long run. Play the "what if" game where we beat the Giants and Jets. Looking at the schedules- who else has a shot at 10-6? Browns beat one of the other teams- Titans, Ratbirds, or Steelers- 11-5 is a lock playoff berth this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Steelers aren't playing for a perfect record, they might not even play starters in the last week of the season. Then again they might push the Ravens game to a week 18? If the Ravens drop another game to the Steelers they could go on a slide. Unfortunately with the defense the Browns trot out on the field.... if any of those teams decide to show up and play.... it will be ugly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A winning season that is still at least a LB, TE and Safety away from playoffs next year. I mean CB injuries and Sendejo---really? He will account for at least two of those 4 losses just on his own.😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills: At 49ers; Home Steelers; At Denver; At Patriots; Home Dolphins .....3 road games, 2 against playoff contenders....3 if you include Pats. Note: I think we have to add the Pats to the list of playoff contenders. They are 5-6, and just one game behind Ravens/Raiders...so they are still in position. On the face of this, I stick with the theory that the Browns have the toughest schedule...But now maybe Dolphins are also facing an equally tough schedule. Easiest now would be the Ravens....3 of last 5 at home....only 1 game vs. a contender: Browns. Good that we have that now 2 game lead.

I think the Dolphins now have the toughest schedule, all things considered. All 4 of their games are against playoff contenders. Titans probably have the easiest....with only the Packers as a playoff team. Hope you don't mind my edit Gip...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
