posted by SportsAndLadyIt’s still the browns were talking about here. We are all expecting a W in Oakland and a Baker performance for the ages. Browns gonna brown and we’ll lose and baker will struggle, book it!
Not sure the level of your seriousness but I agree with you for the most part. Browns might just smash em but I feel the Raiders play a tough game (I don’t think they suck as much as everyone else) and cause BM some trouble.
I don’t think this game will be within 10 points

Hate to agree, but......yeah.
Hope we're wrong, though.

Agreed on the optimism for this week and going forward. Hopefully the tired, played out phrase of "the Browns will lose because, Browns", which I've probably used myself, will soon be "Browns will win because, Baker."
And as far as this game goes, with 10 days to prepare I'm expecting Baker to do well against a WORSE defense (Raiders ranked 20th with 3 sacks and 1 turnover) than the Jets (ranked 8th). Raiders have no pass rush and unless Baker has an uncharacteristic brain fart I don't see him turning into a turnover machine in this game against an unopportunistic team like Oakland.
This is like nothing I've seen since Kosar or Sipe. The kid is electric and his teammates all gravitate to him.

It’s one half. Take it easy.
Its not a tired played out phase if it keeps happening lol (see: week1, week 2).

You mean with Turd-Rod?
And if you want your most likely "because Browns" scenario, the Raiders kicker (Nugent) is out and they are auditioning kickers. In the past, my "because Browns" way of thinking would've had the Raiders signing Zane Gonzalez who would go on to kick a GW field goal on Sunday.

Doesn’t matter. Browns DID go Browns. Until I start seeing any different (not just one game), I refuse to believe we are going to Coast by a team on the road.

Well my prediction wasn't a "coast." It was a 4 point win. COA's predicting the blowout.

Season of dreams
I think they will win but I'm not seeing a beatdown.
Unless Baker shits down his leg, which I just don't see, all signs point to him gashing this Oakland defense. They are giving up 6.9 yards per play, get no pass rush and don't force turnovers.

Baker will make Oakland shit down their leg, than eat their shit that they just shat.
Oakland, through 3 games, has a very solid offense. I think 6th overall and 7th passing.
BUT...
Browns D has allowed 19 ppg so far. Their opponents have averaged 32 offensive ppg in 6 non Browns gms. Browns are 6th in the nfl on D allowing 5 yds/play so far. Their opponents have averaged 7 yds/play in 6 non Browns gms. That’s beyond ridiculous

Also don't want to get ahead with this, but so far the Steelers and Saints offenses have only been slowed down by one defense...

This is part of the reason (and I'm getting ahead of myself) why I think the Browns are going to beat Atlanta. They have a good offense but are soft as fuck as a team. If the term "finesse" were to be used to describe NFL teams, it would be Atlanta & New Orleans, to me. I think the Browns defense can bully Atlanta's O-Line....again, getting ahead of myself.

You predicted 3 tds by baker. If baker puts up 3 tds, with our defense, we will beat the opposing team by way more than 4 points.

Defense gives up 20, which is about their average, and a special teams botch accounts for the other 7.

And now see weeks 1, 2, and 4.
