Forget wildcards, this is the division title we are talking about. Currently, the Cleveland Browns are in the drivers' seat. I am positive this will not last. The Browns are like your eight-year-old kid. They like to sit on your lap and steer, and may even back the car out of the driveway on their own sometimes. But once on the road, it doesn't end well. Much like Cleveland "driving" this division. The Browns are the cruel joke to the city of Cleveland and they always deliver.

Got their asses handed to them and their fans are still talking shit.
Can't stand when teams get blown out and their fans get defensive about it and immediately start talking shit. You lost, you can't talk shit after you just got dominated.

And not to mention, the Browns have as many playoff wins as the bengals do in the last 20 years. Let's not act like they're the NE patriots.

Not to mention Bengals fans are non existent when their team sucks.

And they still won't stfu, http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11855014/jeremy-hill-cincinnati-bengals-stands-cleveland-browns-comments

I hope this means they are still thinking about that game and not their upcoming game against the Saints.

Browns released their FB. This is a position that shouldn't be hard to figure out, but they never seem to figure it out. A legit blocking FB would be huge for Shanny's offense, especially with Mack out.

Maybe they are getting rid of the FB spot because they are moving toward a more wide open offense for Johnny.....

Watt is on the cover of SI this week. Hopefully that's good karma for the browns.

13. Cleveland Browns (6-3, LW: 18)
I need to keep repeating this because it is not being said enough: After one more game, a 6-3 first-place team will be adding the most productive receiver in the entire NFL over the 2013 season. No playoff contender is making an addition like Josh Gordon. Not even close.

At least this power ranking has the Browns above shitsburgh. Peter king had shitsburgh #11 ahead of the browns #15.

Most power rankings I've seen have the Browns between 11-14 (didn't see King's) with Baltimore in front of them.

I did get on ESPN.com earlier to see where they rank overall offensively and defensively and I think they are 15th (defense) and 17th (offense), or vice versa. They do have the best statistical defense in the division. Run defense still blows though.

ESPN's power rankings are now out. They have the Browns at 11 and are the highest AFC North team.

Saw this coming from a mile away. Its a good thing he added the bullshit about not complaining about it though.

"I was told I'd be the feature back"

Lol. You were. Then two rookies played better then you and now you're sharing carries. Get over it Tate.

With his contract, doubt he's here next year honestly.

Hoping the Browns run defense shows up, in a big way, this Sunday. I expect them to pound Foster a lot with Mallett starting.

I'd heard Clowney may finally decide to show up and play this week?

Over/under: 15 plays for Clowney before his pu$$y flares up and he has to sit out a few weeks?

Yeah, he is kind of a vag when it comes to, you know, actually "playing." Seems like he wants to get paid but doesn't want to actually earn it.

Highest I've seen them in the power rankings....

http://www.si.com/nfl/2014/11/12/nfl-power-rankings-week-11-new-england-patriots?xid=nl_siextra

Sounding like no Gipson and possibly no McDonald on Sunday. McDonald is the head scratcher as Pettine said it was "precautionary" but I don't think he's practiced all week.

Where do you see that about McDonald? I can't find anything about him probably being out...

I'm not sure the Texans have enough receiver depth to get deep on the Browns secondary even without Gipson....but bet they try it early.
