2020 Browns

posted by BR1986FB

Not really pleased with how the league handled this considering all of the favors they did Baltimore but the Browns screwed themselves by joining Goodson in the hot tub.

I agree with the first part until “but” because I don’t know what you are talking about.  Could you school me on your Goodson comment?

But I was smh-ing last night and all day today about how this was handled in relation to the Covid and how other teams got breaks. 

And as a Browns fan, it makes perfect sense for 2020.

Supposedly the WR corps got the contact tracing BS from joining Goodson, who is positive, in a hot tub. Better hope their tests continue to come back negative because they will need "all hands on deck" for Pittsburgh. Stefanski said "Wyatt Teller should be back in time for the playoffs 'if' we make it." Well, Sunday's the playoffs. Time for Teller to nut up or shut up.

As far as "perfect sense for 2020" I've been saying all along this has an eerie 2007 all over again feel to it. They were cruising along, fans were happy, then this. I went "oh shit" when Chucky shit down his leg against Miami last night. Had this bad feeling we'd be sitting where we are, as fans.

I get all of the issues. Losing to the Jets was dumb af. The game plan was just trash. There isn’t a whole lot to say, that was terrible. 

I have 0 confidence the Browns will be making the playoffs.  Fuck the NFL.

Yep. Fix is in. Jerome Boger will be the head ref for this one. Very strange things happen when he refs Browns games.

For one he’s terrible 

Can I ask WTF Chubb only had 11 carries?

This football stuff just seems bought off or fishy way too often.

Go Bengals!

Without a receiver threat, the jets were just overloading the line. It took the browns too long to adjust and get Chubb the ball on screens.

The thing I noticed most was no play action. I saw it once. If Stefanski was planning on having Baker sling it all over the yard 53x's at least get him out of the pocket.

The no play action makes NO sense! It’s where Baker thrives.

I thought Stefanski would have a plan ready or adjust quickly.

I assume the receiving corps will be back this Sunday.

No clue on the receivers. Not sure if any of them will test positive, having been exposed to Goodson. Teller & Wills need to sack up and play though. Last time the Browns faced the Steelers there was no Chubb or Teller.

Sounds like they will all be back except Goodson. Teller, Harrison & Wills should return too.

So if Browns lose they can still get in if the Colts lose.

Colts aren’t losing but JVille at least locked up the 1 so they can try if they want.

I didn’t realize the Dolphins winning or losing doesn’t affect the Browns chances

I just tried to cut & paste a Twitter post that the Steelers will be sitting key starters. If the Browns can't beat Rudolph they don't deserve to be in.

Yup. Would be a terrible end do a promising season.

Agreed but I think they win. I actually think the Browns can beat the Steelers at full strength the following week in the playoffs.

If they do play again the next week, the Steelers will have the advantage of seeing how the Browns game plan, while the Browns will not get the chance to see how Steelers game plan with Ben.

Yeah, but with a week rest, which Ben shows up? If it's the one we saw prior to the Colts game, they're in trouble. All conjecture though as the Browns need to TCB on Sunday.
