Westside Steve Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Pretty common occurrence in the NFL that wants there is absolutely nothing to play for and the weather gets cold injury after injury seems to pop up and the only guys taking the field are the ones hoping to keep their spot on the team or impress the coaches for next season. Just wondering if we win another game and which players decide it's time for an early off season. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canton Dawg Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I’m sticking to my prediction of 7-10. I think we can beat the Ratbirds, because they’re down to their 3rd string QB. But when you think about it, the Browns have already made Flacco, Mariota, and Zappe look like first ballot HOF’ers. I also think we can beat the Big Ben free Stoolers.

D Bone Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I said 6-11 on Dutch's thread and unfortunately I'm right on schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say the hallmark of the soon to be over Joe Woods tenure has been giving inexperienced and confused young QBs confidence but also giving journeyman QBs another contract after inspiring performances. Andy Dalton can’t wait. Aside from the Center and LB positions being a mess in injuries we had a lot of starters on the field Sunday…and we still couldn’t do much to get out of our own way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Mayfield, I keep an eye how Jarvis Landry is doing. He’s another one of the former Browns that I hope he does well…just not against Cleveland. I also like what I see out of Chris Olave, who I thought was the best WR in last year’s class. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had a remarkable year. I’ve watched a lot of Saints football having both Kamara and Hill on my fantasy roster. Dalton has been awful, but Olave has absolutely balled out. Really All of the top WRs last year have stepped into some bad situations Drake London and Garret Wilson come to mind. This is going to special class for WRs when all is said and done and their QB and team situations improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickers Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I though we would be 4-13 based on Lack of coaching on defense... So I say we'll be 6-11 or -7-10... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob806 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I think they win the next 2 at home. I can't write what I think about the last 2, but I'm not optimistic. Washington is real tough defensively, and our record in Pittsburgh is pitiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I had the Browns at 7-10, I guess I'd stay with that, but 6-11 looks pretty possible too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Well I had Cincinnati winning the division but this might be difficult: 1. Browns record? (8-9) 9-7-1 ...... but why not, they finish 3-1 and go 8-9. Sunday, Dec. 18 Browns vs Ravens Saturday, Dec. 24 Browns vs Saints Sunday, Jan. 1 Browns at Commanders Sunday, Jan. 8 Browns at Steelers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Right now we're in no-man's-land. There are 13 teams with the same record as us or worse. I'm to the point where I'm hoping for high positioning in round 2. Trouble is, we could win any or all of the upcoming games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find myself watching YouTube highlights of Browns yesteryear a lot. Love watching the games from the 70s when I was a kid. 26 teams. Seemed every team had a QB & a defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him putting himself in harms way, diving head-first past the sticks more than once. Doing anything and everything to get first downs and scores, more so than most others on the team. Looked highly motivated to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
