Maybe it's because I'm a Browns fan but...isn't that what football is supposed to look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week 5: NE @ TB Week 6: PHI @ CAR Week 7: KC @ OAK Week 10: SEA @ ARI Week 11: TEN @ PIT plus some other matchups have potential since they are with division rivals, have an elite team, etc. Seattle/Arizona will likely be terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I really like this matchup. This is what I want to see in the early regular season. As close to high stakes as you can get in week 2. Two teams that have will have their seasons considered disappointments if they don't make the playoffs but one of them will end up in a bad 0-2 hole after very disappointing week 1 efforts at home to divisional rivals. Early games don't matter much for a team like the Pats who will probably get a 1 seed anyway, but borderline playoff teams could point to this game as a reason they don't make the playoffs, and that bests games like Packers-Seahawks where it's probably just about seeding/home field. Plus with Watson in, there are enough exciting players of both sides of the ball for each team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I'm mostly excited because D'Onta Foreman looks like he's in line for a lot of touches. He really had a strong showing in the preseason, but only got one carry for four yards against the Jags. That one run was impressive in itself - he got met about a yard past the line, and bulled his way for the extra three. Given our OL issues, getting someone who can move the pile is critical for getting yards. Not the sexiest football on the planet, but effective.

If BOB watched the Bengals-Ravens game, Foreman should get a decent amount of touches. Flacco didn't complete a pass against us in the 2nd half because they were just running it down our throats. No Burfict either. We still have some decent run stuffers but Foreman should get his yards unless BOB doesn't feed him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the post game after the Jags, he was asked why he didn't give the ball to Foreman. His response? I don't know. I have to get better at that. I appreciate the honesty, but c'mon man. If you're serving as BOTH Head Coach and OC, then don't skimp on your OC duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
