Week 9: -Bye-

Discussion in 'Cleveland Browns' started by Lyman, Nov 2, 2020.

  1. kenibals Home Town Favorite Browns

    I'd chalk up the 2 NY games,Tex and Jags making 4 W's

    After that.........?s.
    Philly is getting healthy and won't be a walk through. If we can do that we will start the second half with 3 W's.

    With that momentum we go to Tennessee and beat a team that is a genuine threat. Another W (4 in a row)

    Baltimore comes to Cleveland next. The only advantage is home field. We won't be favored, but with the confidence we built in 4 games, we could get this. I cannot project this as a W at this point.

    Then we get a two bottom dwellers: Giants / Jets. Gotta get those. 2 W's

    The Grand Finale: Pitt comes to Cleveland. This is the "judgement" game. Have we grown as a team enough to beat the Steelers, in a critical "Playoff Level" game, and enter our first playoff since ........... (memory fails).

    So 4 W's I'd project today. I place Eagles, Titans in the ? category, but critical to having a chance in the last two: our Divisional rivals: Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

    That means 11 wins, with Pitt & Balt left to decide. Hey give me that and I'll take it. Truth be told, I'd like the get the Pitt game more than the Balt game, cause it gives us momentum

    Pittsburgh May not need that game. But I’ve seen good Steelers teams win with their back up QB and some other starters sitting too the last game of the season

    Still a lot of growing for this team to do. Need a defense other than Garrett and Ward and it isn't sitting on the bench or IR.

    Bye Week +7

    Hopefully, the embedded spreadsheet will show how I came to that ^^^^^ conclusion.

    Role the dice that a good shitty team will get the number one overall pick.
     
  13. Lyman "Franchise Asshole" Browns Buckeyes

    One: "Good Shitty Team" is an oxymoron.
    Two: The Jets are currently 0-8. They still have the (Patriots (twice), Chargers, Dolphins, Raiders, Seahawks, Rams & Browns.

    They're a virtual lock to go 0-16. Lawrence won't know (when he has to declare) if a better team will trade up to the #1 pick.

    I think the Jets need so much more than a QB to even put that dumpster fire close to anything relevant. They would be better off trading down and getting picks.

    It's odd, but I look at the Bengals, who got the first pick last year, as a team that has real potential. Boyd is a good WR and Mixon(when healthy) is a good RB. AJ Green has had injuries but he's also quite good. They need a lot more but, I can see why Burrow could step in and put up some numbers. The Jets though. I think they're stuck for a while.

    The Bengals need to (a) improve their O-line then (b) fill in the gaps in their defense.

    I had some extra time (sheltering in place) and added the NFC tab to the spreadsheet.

    You guys heard that the NFL is thinking about adding an eighth team to each conference playoff this season wiping out the bye week altogether. Also it would help make up some of the lost revenue.

    Yep. Just waiting for it to become official.
