On paper I think there is enough takent on this team to make a deep playoff run. In another universe we have 11 wins and looking for a first round bye. The last month has produced some of the worst football and coaching I think I have ever witnessed and that includes long stretches in 2010. However, on the bright side.

We have a Hall of Fame running back that can run inbetween the tackles, has exceptional vision, burst, speed, and power. He can catch and block. 

Outstanding young WRs (Incredible) that have shown incredible abilty in making big plays when given the chance. Ron Rivera throws poo at the wall whenever it seems like he is coaching for his job and I would be shocked if the young guys dont get plenty of playing time from this point forward.

The defense is awful. Several defensive players have Hall of Fame talent and even last week once Rivera took over the play calling they looked capable. Will the defense play up to their potential? I have no idea, but IF they do we can win 3 out of 4 99 out of 100 times.

I don’t know if this team will make the playoffs or not but I doubt they will go down without a fight. 

 

(But seriously  if we lose to Cleveland it’s over)

Im on the bus with you bro! Still have this child like belief that we will win out and make it count in the playoffs. Granted I thought we'd win the last 4 weeks. Lol. I try to be realistic but fail miserably. So fingers crossed until the final seconds of the Browns game ticks off. If we win Ill be planning our Superbowl trip on here. If we lose, probably see you guys in 8 months.

Let's just say I inadvertently scheduled a boat trip to Laos that ends at 5pm Sunday and I didn't freak out about it when I realized what I'd done

The homers who don't actually watch football don't realize the Browns with Mayfield at QB are a better team than the Lions and Giants....

Nice. I took a similar trip three years ago. Beautiful part of the world. Are you going to check out any of the Thai beaches or Cambodia?

Take care if you're in Phuket/Bangkok there are loads of uh...'interesting' 'women' abound and drunken westerners get more than they bargain for often enough.

Im a homer and do watch football and am fully aware the Browns are far from the worst team we've faced. I was also a 10 rr old boy when the 83' wolfpack entered the ncaa tournament. You can can listen to the know it alls, or maybe just once have a goddamn ounce of faith. Pretty sure that team was double digit dogs the whole tournament. I know Ron sucks but this is our last stand my friend. Crazier shitt has happened.

    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place. 
    • Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
    • So I was curious and remember seeing a tweet but here are Young’s numbers vs Strouds number since that time  Stroud since week 3 2025. Bryce since coming back off the bench and playing in Denver
