I think we beat Cleveland

I know it is not popular right now, but I think we stand an excellent chance of beating Cleveland this week.

First we had a great day rushing with from Goodson who gives us two consecutive 100 yard rushing days. We will be going against a Cleveland team that ranks 21st against the run.

Our QB play was bad, but not as bad as I expected. I think Clausen will be back under center and I look for him to be accurate enough especially if we can actually run play action off of a decent running game.

I think this situation is tailor made for Fox Ball (I may not like it but it is what it is). I think we control the game with our run game which will allow us to play action pass which will help our QB and by controlling the clock allow the Defense (who have played decently) not to get gassed by the 3rd quarter.

I predict a Carolina victory (Car - 16 Cleveland - 10).

So we get win number 2, and that is straight from Nostra-dumbass, so take it for what it is worth. :)

Without reading your post, aside from the title, I don't agree and don't understand this line of thinking. I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

Why? Because Cleveland's defense has bottled up some of the best offenses in the league this year. Our offense sucks against bad defenses and we're top 5 in the league in giveaways if I'm not mistaken.

If Colt plays, their offense has looked great with him in there. Even if they end up playing Seneca or Jake, they are still gonna look good against our defense.

So no... we won't beat Cleveland.

Doubt we hold them to 10, they put up 20 against the Jets and 34 against the Pats recently. Last 4 games have scored 20+ in each.

I will admit that I may be a big homer when it comes to this pick. I think this could be a big trap game for them. If we can just get some early success. I like our chances.

the Browns are 3-7 coming off 2 losses......I don't think this qualifies as a trap game.

Browns will beat us. They have actually been playing good football recently.

we will be lucky to score.... their D is pretty tight.

I will admit to not watching much of Cleveland games. Mainly because they are f'ing Cleveland but our defense is ranked 14th overall (I think) and I am pretty sure Cleveland is ranked 23 overall.

Stats mean nothing in the end, but that was what I was going by.

Duly noted... Browns lost some really close games and beat N.O. and N. E. This game will be a good boost in confidence for them...

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      He has been a starter most of his career.  Why does anyone thing he would willing come here to be our 3rd TE?

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.
