We're good enough to overcome it but eventually falling behind one of these teams is going to turn into a bigger mess than it should be.
I know people want to dismiss it. But the steelers in the second half were a very different team than the first quarter. The rust factor is real. And we encountered it in Houston just last year. That being said, the browns are a way better team to show up rusty against than the ravens. [Reply]

Mahomes will need to be magical like he is most of the time.
You think that the Browns look good tonight? No - the Steelers looked crappy tonight... [Reply]

I hope he keeps running his mouth off, our Defense will take it personal that he let our team down 2 yrs ago! [Reply]
BROWNS CONTROL THE CLOCK RUN GAME TOUGH PHYSICAL UPSET ALERT
I think I'll just turn off all NFL media for the week. I'd rather not listen to these dipshits spout nothing but buzzwords and do zero actual analysis for the game. [Reply]
I've never seen a Browns troll. That's awesome. "Hi, Browns troll!"
Now kill yourself by drinking an aids grease-fire!
Did I do that right this time? Only my second one.
Now, on to the Browns/Chiefs match-up . . .
This is a great match-up for us.
CLE has a great run game, a great DE, a bucket of confidence, and that's about it. While I'm a Baker fan of sorts, his weaknesses were on full display tonight, excepting the T/Os. He had trouble when he had to drop back and read the defense at times, he was oddly inaccurate a couple times, and it was obvious that they reined him in quite a bit.
Baker can't beat us by throwing the ball 40+ times. He's going to look like Ryan Tannehill. A good/really good PA passer that shrinks when forced to drop back and process the field. Baker will at best play a clean game, throw about 260-290 yards, and 2 TDs, tops. Chubbs or Hunt will get 1 on the ground. They might kick a FG in there. But that will be all they'll be able to do offensively. And that's only if they try to play us the way they played PIT, and it takes 12 possessions to score that much. If they try to play keep away, they'll only get 9-10 possessions, and you could cut 20% off those numbers.
And we don't have to talk about the defense. It's not good at all, outside of Garrett. Andy and Patrick will have the kind of day many of us have been lusting for since probably the Jets game. Just light that secondary up like the fourth of July.
Spags will stop the Chubb & Hunt show for the most part. What's going to help is that Stefanski was the OC for MIN last season, so Spags has already played Stenfaski's offense. And he beat Stefanski in that meeting.
And we all know what's going to happen when that defense has to face our offense. Heavy metal fisting.
