Cleveland Browns 2023 Season Thread

Interesting news coming from Browns practice....sounds like James Hudson will play RT and Dawand Jones will slide back to his college position of LT for the Rats game. Would love to see them both ball out and make Wills and Conklin expendable.

I’m surprised how little recognition Cleveland got in the power rankings this week. From the several I saw they were in that #11-14 range. IMO, they’re better than Jacksonville, Dallas, and maybe San Francisco if Purdy remains a turnover machine. Maybe/probably Cincinnati until the bengals stop looking like shit against them. I guess this Sunday will tell.

This will continue until Watson gets more consistent. They have a SB caliber defense but the offense hasn't shown a lot of explosiveness.

This week will be a big test. Ideally Browns fans would like to see them win both of the next two division games but even if they were to lose them, with the upcoming schedule, I can still see 10-11 wins (expecting a loss to Cincy). I think 11 is the number to get in to the playoffs with all of their tiebreakers.

I dont really see a missed throw here. He looks good, once the playbook is opened up and its not bubble screens/backup QB gameplan.

In the two games that he's actually played more than 5 plays, he's trending upward and has shown that's he can still do the things he did in Houston. This week may be the game where they need him to put the offense on his back and really ball out.

You're right on this. It may be Bitonio at LT. Shitty week for the O-Line to get banged up. Especially with a QB just starting to feel better.

Fucking dumb

Fucking dumb

Team focus seems bad

Too many men on the field on a punt. Clowns. Then a hold on 4th and 2. Can’t get out of their own way.

Stefanski back to his shit play calling? They passed up trying a 60 yarder to throw a Hail Mary with Walker that didn’t even get there. After 3 straight shit plays. 

New punt returner hands the Ravens a gift.

Browns have been better team. Again. Can they finally capitalize and pull out a win?

I wish I had tickets to the seat next to you.  You’re a joy to listen to.  Why has no NFL team picked you up - what, with all that coaching expertise you have.

Well that doesn’t have anything to do with coaching… but good one

After all that they somehow pull it out. Just let me complain during the game Boogie… and this was a take one. Nothing I said was a stretch.

The missed xp doesn’t come back to haunt!

Lamar is Josh Allen….just turnover machines when it matters 

Good W for the Browns 

Deshaun was protected in the 2nd half and was the guy they wanted when they signed him.

Except they beat one of the top 3 teams in the league.
