I think he was flaming folks in NFL Gen/News, where everyone dies a hero's death.🤔

We’re about to get beat by 2 TDs next week.

What a fun post. 

If we get garrett back, I like our chances.

It’s true. Even with Garrett back it’s gonna be ugly trying to stop Henry AND AJ Brown. If they get in a rhythm... good luck.

Today was a very good day for our chances. That unexpected Falcons win was great.

 

Now to play well vs the Titans win or lose I want to see Baker play well vs a good defence. 

Titans don’t have a good defense though. Arguably the worst in football.

I feel that it's a moniker we might fight for.

We just made the Jaguars look like they had a competent offense with Mike Glennon as their QB and without their top two WRs.

The Browns need to really dig deep next week and play over their heads on defense or this is going to be bad. If Robinson gashed the front 7 like he did imagine what Henry is going to do. Especially if you factor in Ward not being there to cover AJ Brown.

We need Harrison to be healthy and Garrett to play to have a shot at winning. Garrett isn’t stopping Henry alone. He has 31 total tackles this year. Stopping the run isn’t his thing.

Challenge accepted.

 

Our defense will make yours look like the 85 bears.

Alright so:

Clear top two - Pitt and KC

Likely division winners - BUF and TEN/IND

Wildcard competitors - CLE, MIA, IND/TEN, BAL

Long Shots - OAK, NE

At 8-3, we have a one game edge on MIA and IND. We have either a 1 or 2 game edge on BAL depending on the outcome of the game Tuesday (assuming two games considering their roster mess).

IMO, if we win against TEN we are pretty much locked into the #5 seed. We aren't gonna catch Pitt, but the #5 seed is fine. We'd play one of BUF, TEN, or IND (likely TEN/IND if we win against TEN).

The most important thing, after MAKING the playoffs, is not falling to the #7 seed. I like our chances to upset BUF/TEN/IND and make it to the second round for the first time in... what, 25+ years? But KC/Pitt is a meat grinder. I don't see us making it through both of them, so if we want even a chance of making it deep, our best shot is to beat one of KC/Pitt and have the other get upset.

TL;DR - If we beat TEN, it is very, very likely that we make the playoffs as the #5 seed. We're hoping for BUF/TEN/IND in round one.
