I get that it's probably annoying to have people constantly criticizing your success - and I only responded because the quote I posted was super obnoxious. I'm just saying that by all metrics the Browns record far outpaces their actual performance on the season. The Steelers are very much in the same boat. It's great that the Browns are in playoff contention. As a team that also has had an extreme lack of success I root for you and think you have a very good chance of punching that playoff ticket. I'm just calling it like it is. When people criticize your schedule and performance again good teams, it isn't them being a-holes, it's them calling out the truth of the schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaks for acknowledging that lol And yes, more so with national media. Everytime the Browns win a game all that comes with it is "welllllllll they oooonly beat the Eagles or Texans" or whoever else they want to throw in that week. Green bay is 1-2 against sub .500 teams and 6-1 against losing teams. Baltimore/Tampa/Seattle all have losing records against winning teams but are either 5-0 or 5-1 against losing teams. Why do the Browns get singled out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't wrong about those teams Ravens I think HAVE been hit just as heavily as the Browns have with the "they beat the bad teams but fail against good teams" narrative. That said, they are 2-3 against those good teams and put up a much better fight in them As for the NFC teams, I think the NFC is so weak that its hard to complain because there are so few teams to compare them to. I don't think anyone is super overhyping either of those teams - its just that there isn't a whole tier of better teams above them in their conference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying its a cakewalk, but to act like this is some super difficult schedule down the stretch is a pretty bold take. It's below average difficulty 49ers and Broncos are dangerous. Cross-country flights to Trap City. You know the Pats would love to play AFC East spoiler. Even the Chargers are a tough out, they've been in most of their games right til the bitter end. Sure hope the Bills-Steelers game is aired in my area, that should be a good one. Pretty wild the Bills-Dolphins game is in January...the Dolphins are not accustomed to playing in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the colts being 10-6 along with the browns Yeah but a tie-breaker win only matters if there's only 2 teams involved. I could see some combination where 3 or 4 of the Ravens/Colts/Browns/Raiders/Titans all finish 10-6 and at that point head-to-head wouldn't really matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo has already played through the toughest stretch of their season, and is 7-3. That's with a boatload of injuries. I'd be interested to see where of SoS ranks among the league. It's not unfathomable to think Buffalo could win only 9 games, but to only win 1 of the remaining 6 is a bit...extreme. I'm thinking Buffalo finishes with 11 or 12 wins.

As a Bills fan- I feel your pain. We went through the same thing last season. But, to be honest, there is truth to it (for both the 2019 Bills and 2020 Browns). We both benefitted from a cake walk of schedule, but, at the end of the day, getting a win is all that matters, and if it takes having an easy schedule to change the culture in that locker room- then so be it. The next step is beating legit teams consistently, which I think is possible for y'all if Mayfield can take the next step. Oh, and just so you don't feel I'm trying to rain on your parade- I'm pretty sure y'all would beat my Bills in a H2H in the playoffs. That's a matchup nightmare for us.

I'm just happy the Browns are beating bad teams because that's something they never did in the past. They got whooped by the Ravens/Steelers but they should beat the Raiders if it wasn't for multiple dropped TD passes by Landry/Hooper that killed drives. Oh well, we'll find out in the next 6 weeks when they have to play TEN, BAL and PIT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I didn't buy into the Jets carrying over their limited success to end the year last year to this year, because they still lost to trash teams even when they were winning. I think y'all are pretty good. You're just tough to gauge as you haven't beaten many good teams, but you're clearly a fringe top-10 team with potential to be more. I'd personally have you in the 10-15 range, but that's just my uneducated opinion. Edited November 25, 2020 by WizeGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
