[Zod]

What do you expect from this game? What are your biggest concerns? Where are the Browns dangerous?

At some point, Baker Mayfield will be seen smoking a cigarette on the sidelines

Our run D

My fear is that this game is similar to last years game against Washington. Where they simply ran the ball down our throats. 

For all the talk about Burns sack numbers/finishing plays, he’ll need to show that he isn’t a liability against the run

Biggest concerns: Run defense and the kicker…Panthers will need to score a lot of points to win.

Chubb and Hunt can wear out our thin d line. Linebackers are going to really have to shoot the gaps well because I dont know if our dline can get off the blocks quick enough. The only way we win is if we get up early and start making them have to pass more than run. In that case we may have a field day.

The after sex cigarette? Or the stress cigarette?

If this is a close game going into the 4th, they will win. Their run O will absolutely own our thin run defense in the 4th. We have to get up early and hold that lead. I am absolutely terrified of what Chubb and Hunt will do to this run defense.

Myles Garrett worries me the most here. We're going to have to keep a TE or RB on him for at least a chip on every play.

We're going to have to somehow get a lead early and take them out of the run game, if possible.

i don't think our run D is going to be as bad as people think. our ends may have actually improved against the run as a unit.

with any luck we jump out to a nice lead early and force the browns to try to air it out and take away their only real strong point.

If the offense misfires and we end up having to play them in a phone booth I think we're screwed.  Chubb and Hunt remind me of the prime Double Trouble days.

Gonna buy some

I’m buy some black and milfs to smoke wear Baker’s new “off the leash” shirt in his honor.  I feel that’s more his speed 

 

Edit - I had a stroke writing this.  I’m gonna smoke some black and milds to smoke and wear Baker’s new “off the leash” shirt.

The goal would be to put Brisset in a position where he has to use his arm to win. However, the panthers have made mediocre QBs look all-pro before so I hope next Sunday won’t be another case of that.

Definitely.  With Brissett playing, they’ll be running Chubb hard.  If our run D is the same as it was against Dallas last year, it could be a long day.  A healthy CMC and hyped up QB makes me optimistic.  Having CMC makes a world of difference for this team

[OceanPanther]

Biggest concerns.  Defense.   Run defense, Defensive end ,  Linebackers are not elite , hoping for average gives us less than an average season ,  Defensive backs are good, but like  CMC I worry about their health. 

Coaching,   Even though Rhule brought in a new staff,  we all know who the head coach is.  Can they make adjustments at half time. Last season, our first halves were decent..  but we lost the 3rd quarters a billion to zero..

Offense.  CMC's health.

Special teams.   Did changing coaches help
