Cleveland Browns 2023 Edition

[McMurphy]

Honestly how is this defense of the Browns the #1 defense in the NFL? Looking at it today, I think it stinks.

 

[Wildcat97]

Has nothing to do with the defense looking like a junior high team.

I agree, just needed the offense to keep scoring because D is trash on road

 

[clarkgriswold]

Nope Thornhill Newsome Hickman been toasted.

The entire defense sucks.

Has been absolutely shredded on road games normally. It makes zero sense

The field has the same dimensions on the road. lol

 

[cjb5656]

Yep I told you a loss.defense is awful on the road.

You are correct, Brian. D has been a no show on the road all year. Browns will be blown out.

 

[jackson03]

Oomph.

 

[Wildcat97]

Horse @#$% defense. Rooting for you rest of way CJ if this holds

 

[y2h]

Well that's the season.

 

[cjb5656]

JOK is the only guy who showed up.

This is why you don't have a "bye" week going into the playoffs.

Nothing to do with it. Now if you can help Schwartz figure out why the D is the best in the league at home, but the worst in the road, you’ll have something.

 

[clarkgriswold]

Carolina picked that midget Young over Stroud!

 

[Wildcat97]

Preaching to choir. I know. Has been maddening. Good luck CJ, unless Flacco can keep pulling out rabbits

 

[McMurphy]

Even if Houston wins this game, they will be done next game. They are nothing special

 

[Wildcat97]

Fire Kevin stefanski tonight.should played last week.Resting players don't work

Shutup man. Defense on road isn't a new thing

 

[oldline70]

Guess I'm rooting for the Lions after tonight. That probably doesn't end well either.

This one could get ugly, fast.

Has everything to do with it. Needed the reps.

 

[eaglesfan216]

Are they going to throw a flag on the Texans defense for anything at all? I mean seriously

 

[Wildcat97]

Has everything to do with it. Needed the reps.

Had reps all year on D on road, never mattered

 

[y2h]

Even if Houston wins this game, they will be done next game. They are nothing special

Exactly. They are garbage and the Browns blow this golden opportunity.

This is going to get really bad. Myles and line absent, CJ being CJ, road defense as usual, and line can't give Flacco any time

 

[jackson03]

Well, there are statistically worse spots to be in.

Game rests on the opening series of the second half more or less. Calling Mr. Schwartz...

 

[cjb5656]

Exactly. They are garbage and the Browns blow this golden opportunity.

What golden opportunity? You seriously thought a team that hasn’t played D on the road all year was going to string together three road wins to get to Vegas? Myles’ sack total the second half of the season has been MIA, like every season. The only thing missing is the inevitable Flacco picks.

 

[oldline70]

With a bad head coach. Stefanski is not the coach

I'm not sure what the problem is, but somthing is missing. You come as far as Cleveland has this season, with all the adversity they've had, to lay this egg today?

 

[cjb5656]

Well, there are statistically worse spots to be in.

Correct. Ten points is not a death sentence. It only feels like it because the Browns feel like they are barely hanging on and Houston feels like they are ready to explode.

 

[Wildcat97]

I'm not sure what the problem is, but somthing is missing. You come as far as Cleveland has this season, with all the adversity they've had, to lay this egg today?

There is no o line left. D has been like this on road all year. It is truly that simple

 

[cjb5656]

Again, look at the D home/road splits this year. That is the story. Everyone forgot about it because they pounded Houston’s back ups a few weeks ago.

 

[eaglesfan216]

Only way we win this game is if there’s a turnover on the first drive and we score quickly off of it. Momentum is completely shot. 10 points feels insurmountable.

Problem is the Texans don’t turn the ball over

 

[cjb5656]

There is no o line left. D has been like this on road all year. It is truly that simple

Yep. Can’t run the ball. Hard to sell play action when you can’t run.

 

[cjb5656]

Even if Houston wins this game, they will be done next game. They are nothing special

I don’t know. I would trade rosters with them in a heartbeat. Draft assets, too. They have a bright future that’s started already.

And, maybe the biggest factor, they don't have the Haslams as owners.
