Bolts223 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) First of all: I think they were over hyped to begin with. This was never an elite team like many people were claiming. That having been said - Baker has been disappointing. I was never crazy about giving Kitchens the Head Coaching job, I thought the Browns would've done much better to get someone established. (Like an Arians or McCarthy) I said they would go 8-8/9-7 before the season and I stand by that. They have one of the easier schedules in the league left. (Bengals X2, Steelers X2, Dolphins, Cardinals, Broncos) Only real tough games they have left are Seattle, Baltimore and New England.

JAF-N72EX Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They're the Browns. I'm convinced the team is just cursed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be VERY surprised if they swept the Steelers. Pitt is not a bad team at all. They are strong on the lines and well coached; I could definitely see them splitting against the Browns or even sweeping them. Bills are at least (or more) of a tough game as the Ravens at this point. The Browns have a bad O-line, aren't well coached and their QB is playing poorly right now. That's what's wrong with them.

Jameson_Neat Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I don't know, maybe if your LT sucks, then give him some help occasionally? No? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say they would sweep the Steelers. But Pittsburgh isn't really a good team either. They are 1-4 for a reason. (And yes I know it's largely because Ben is hurt, but he won't be back this year) If you do the math if they go 8-8 or 9-7 that means they go 6-5 or 7-4 from this point on. If you made me guess I would say they sweep the Bengals, beat the Dolphins, Cardinals and Broncos. They split the series with the Steelers. They go 1-1 against the Bills and Ravens, lose to the Patriots and Seahawks. That gets you 8-8. Edited October 8, 2019 by Bolts223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bengals X2, Steelers X2, Dolphins, Cardinals, Broncos) Only real tough games they have left are Seattle, Baltimore and New England. Bills' defense will definitely give us trouble, especially if our offense plays like it did today. Anyway, it's a mix of many things if you ask me. Our OL is trash, but Freddie and the staff aren't helping them. He's not calling plays that benefits the OL or Baker, which would be to play uptempo and allow Baker to get rid of the ball quickly. Baker looks shell shocked from this OL - even when he has time he's panicking and doesn't look settled. After last week I was hoping our offense finally got it together. We were getting rid of the ball quickly, OL did their job, Baker looked calm and in command, etc. But apparently that was a fluke or Baltimore's defense is just that bad. The defense's performance was discouraging as well. Our offense kept putting them in bad situations, but still. Our defense was looking very good the last few weeks but tonight San Francisco just sucked the soul out of them. Many Browns fans knew it might take time for our team to gel, but there's no way they should have looked as bad as they did today. Just an atrocious performance.

Just pointing out that the Steelers (and Bills) are tougher games than your list made them out to be. The Steelers are 1-4, but their only bad game was the banner game for the best team in the league. They lost by 4 to the 9ers, 2 to the Seahawks, in OT to the Ravens and crushed a bad Bengals team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dome Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They bought into the hype way too early. They have the pieces, but it isn't automatic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeotheLion Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The problem is Baker, offensive line and coaching. Equal blame across the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They are who we thought they were - a team on the rise, a team building up talent, but a team that still had to learn how to win consistently. The crowning was about two seasons too early. This might benefit them, as some egos needed to be humbled a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
