Ray Reed Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Flacco being a “statue” doesn’t really matter in Stefanski’s offense because he’s constantly getting the ball out quickly to well schemed-open guys. He’s running boots. He’s hitting quick crossers. It’s him from 2014. I wouldn’t be so sure we’d have a ton of hits and sacks on him. Stefanski would be playing quick ball in the pass game all day in addition to the power run game. We’d most likely rush 3-4 all game and force him to consistently nickel and dime us for 10-12 play drives all game long.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Well we won't have to put down Flacco ourselves. He sunk Cleveland for us. Thank you, Joe Flacco! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontTazeMeBro Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 So with Buffalo playing on Monday I think Saturday is a safe assumption for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMcFife Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 So our opponent is most likely Houston but possibly the Steelers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalvadorsDeli Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Lot of folks exaggerated the threat of the Browns because they were too aware of the catastrophic psychic damage/baggage that would have come with going one and done against a Flacco-led Browns team. But he was turning the ball over/throwing up ducks against bad teams during their hot streak too and as we saw last night all it took was a couple of hits to get him back into his classic Captain Checkdown MO. He would have been completely annihilated by our defense. Stroud is going to be a big challenge and I don't think this will be a game we'll be able to win without Lamar and the offense bringing their A game, but we also match up extremely well against that defense. Should be a fun game (yes I'm burying the Steelers). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a fun game (yes I'm burying the Steelers). Definitely the bold would have been unbearable, particularly from toxic components of our own fanbase. I also still think the Browns were a high variance opponent, which you don't want to see as a "favorite". That was my logic for preferring to not face them, even though I certainly wouldn't have picked an upset with even odds. Yesterday they had the outcome where the two awful Flacco throws were as costly as possible and the defense had a complete stinker. Then again I would have said the Texans were not a super high variance opponent because even with Stroud they haven't had that many dominant performances on either side of the ball. Certainly feel differently now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I'm not quite burying the Steelers as a possibility yet. If only because of the bad/cold weather aspect. Not that Buffalo isn't acclimated to it but I think Pittsburgh matches up a bit better if it's a run-game slugfest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I think we would blow the Steelers out. Texans will be a tough out but that’s what happens when you’re in the final 4 of the conference, you’re going to play good and/or hot teams. Hopefully the boys bring their A game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've done it before and now it's time to close this thing out. 3 hours ago, santiagomn8 said: To be fair January Joe should have scared anyone. The Browns' dysfunction and rot is so dense that it has a gravitational pull, and anything pulled close enough is either inherently awful or becomes so after exposure. January Joe was no exception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
