Their weak point is their QB and he isn't horrible. This is a loaded team talentwise. Most top to bottom talent in league in my opinion. They just don't always put it all together and they are more of a collection of individuals than a team at times. If Bears win this game it would be very large upset in my opinion. Anthony Herron was saying the same thing on the radio this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if true, that's almost 5 months of scheme development... Of course they have. I gotta sneak peek at one of them. Wanna see it? . Yeah, I don't believe it either.

Epyon Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This game will come down to the OL/DL battle for both teams.... and whichever team can run the ball is the one that wins it. We got Mario Edwards and likely getting Eddie Goldman back for this game... Browns run game gets shut down hard, and their pass rush has (thus far) underperformed this season, so I think we're going to be able to run the ball with monty and then pass with Fields. Meanwhile knowing their WR are banged up, and presuming that we can stuff the run game, I'm much more confident that we can hold up defensively vs a Mayfield led offense trying to pass downfield... Our Nickel is still garbage, but I don't think they've got the weapons healthy enough for that to matter. Bears edge this one 28-17, because I'm buying a Fields breakout game, but the game is much closer than the score would imply... I think we catch a big play TD to mooney or goodwin and a 40+ yrd run by Fields, and win the turnover battle by 1 That being said, if the Browns pass rush actually plays to potential, and their DL just dominates the LOS so we can't run, this game could get super ugly for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said -- and I agree 110% -- the worst thing we can do is overload his mind and make him play slow and not react to what he's seeing. Boy... this game is going to be EXTREMELY telling about just how good of an offensive coach Matt Nagy is. I. Can't. *******. Wait. I agree. I think this game will really give us an idea of Nagy's ability to coach the offense. If this team looks disorganized and the plays make no sense, I think it's time for him to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Goldman didn't practice today or yesterday after being limited on Wednesday. Shocking! Gipson is doubtful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our defense continues to ascend, Fields takes a step in the right direction with Nagy calling plays tailored to his strengths. Won't be pretty. Bears - 23 Browns - 20 I don't know what to think of this game. The Bears are still too much of a mystery, I guess. I do think Fields will play well--his box score from the last game sort of undermines what he actually did on the field. I can easily see it going down how you've described there, though. 12 hours ago, Epyon said: That being said, if the Browns pass rush actually plays to potential, and their DL just dominates the LOS so we can't run, this game could get super ugly for us.

The_Romen Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 My most pressing questions are if Nagy will utilize the PA and TE... A young QB's best friend. "Touchdown to checkdown", right? JUSTIN FIELDS!!! Let's hope Monty can get some inside runs because Myles and Clowney are beasts. Peters, stay healthy. Can Ifedi piece together another good game? DL has a tough test, but they're paid big money, so they need to show something. Roquan, do your thing. Anything from any other LB is extra. Hopefully the secondary shows up again and doesn't get exposed. Rooting for Desai is a good feeling. ----------------------------------------- How's Cleveland's ST this year? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
