posted by Ironman92It sounds right but man nothing is really predictable. Crazy calls by refs, an injury….weird happenings every game.
Oh, I'm not predicting anything. This team should have 11 wins but they pissed away opportunities against KC, the Chargers, Baltimore & Pittsburgh. You have a QB who's acting a bit pissed off because they are getting too conservative in the 2nd half of games (i.e. Stefanski doesn't trust him)....so who knows what we'll see,
posted by like_thatIf they lost, that would have been the dagger in the season. This season has been very frustrating. There was 0 reason the game should have came down to the wire. Stef has a history of letting off the gas after a big halftime lead. This should have been a blow out. Lamar or not in the lineup, this was one of those games where it wasn’t Baltimore’s day until the Browns decided to try and make it their day.
A lot of “what ifs” this season. If the Browns take advantage of all those take aways 3 weeks ago against the ravens, they would be sitting pretty right now.
As Boogie said though, I will take a win in the NFL any day. The good news is the old browns would have definitely lost after that onside. I’m glad the defense dug deep and made plays.
I firmly believe that Stefanski going conservative is a lack of trust in Mayfield.
Yes, that INT yesterday looked horrific but it's sounding like Jarvis turned out instead of curling in which could've been a catch. Other than that, he (Mayfield) was solid yesterday and had a rhythm in the 1st half.
When every fan can tell you what Stefanski's going to do once they get a lead, you know they've become too predictable. He's done this since last year (Tenn, Dallas, playoff game against Pittsburgh) except now he has the defense to back it up.
Troy Hill & Kareem Hunt already ruled unlikely to play Saturday. Harrison Bryant and Ronnie Harrison progressing while Schwartz & Newsome remain in concussion protocols. They need Newsome.
Browns were lucky they didn't lose because they got jobbed by the refs on that onside kick. Video proof shows the ref warning the Rats player to get up to the line with his teammates. He doesn't and the ref still eats the flag.
Not sure if these are new cases...
I'm told #Browns personnel were informed this morning they'll have virtual meetings today due to CoVID-19 "positives." The team is still expected to practice later, at this time. This after the NFL had its highest number of player positives yesterday, since the pandemic started.

Covid issues sound like they are bad heading into Saturday

I saw Mayfield and his wife at some local charity deal with the kids getting their pics taken among a group. Watch it be him.
EDIT: One is supposedly a "significant" player so my bet's on Mayfield or Garrett.
Hearing #Browns have a *significant* number of COVID cases among players — including multiple key guys on offense. Stay tuned.

Defense in tact is a huge win. But down 3-lineman, 3 TEs (is Njoku back?), and our #1 WR. Sick.
Baltimore got like 78 different incidents of NFL catering to their Covid last year...Browns will just have to forfeit.
What are the odds of the list growing though? It’s just Tuesday.

If it were the Steelers or Ravens, the league would postpone the game.

Sure, because no team benefited more from Covid shuffling last year than PIT.
Or this year when Ben had to sit out the DET game. Could just be the difference in playoffs or not, no big deal.

As the Steelers would be a shitty 7-6 with everyone else but Covid made them use your favorite QB Mason Rudolph to tie the Lionz

A player isnt a majority of a unit. Its the same protocol they used last year...apparently because Conklin is out, but not due to Covid, it doesnt count. Same with the TEs. But the same way games were postponed last year for units...NOT single players...this sucks. Like Denver getting shafted with the QBs last season. Big Ben being a single player out is not comparable to what the league and Browns fans are complaining about.

What? Having a Wednesday-Monday back-to-back because of Baltimore's COVID issues ISN'T what everyone wants??? Or having your bye week moved to really early in the season because of Tennessee's issues?

The Browns had all of their receivers out last year against the Jets, and the game wasn't postponed.
And Steelers had to adjust everything last year.
Post should’ve just ended with the Ravens
The bye weeks are over….when would they play? This Covid thing seems to be gaining steam again around the league…..if Raiders were 3-10 they might move this one but Raiders still alive and NFL probably wants everyone tied with 2-3 weeks left, a Raiders win would go towards that.
