      The offense can improve by getting some injured players back (Conner, Snell, Nix); catching the damn ball, and not fumbling the damn ball. I assume that’s doable.

      That said, I expect a battle royal with the Browns this Thursday. They have too many good players to continue stumbling and bumbling and they will be fired up for this game.

        Hoping Conner comes back and we get an improvement in the running game.

            Hell yeah. We aren’t losing again...


            until we do.


            Seriously tho, the Browns worry me more than the Rams.

            Atlanta just beat the breaks off of the Saints. Division games.. throw the records out the window.

            I think our D will feast on Baker.

              Browns just beat the bills. They are a team that talent wise can play with anybody. I can see us splitting with them as well.

                I'm not too worried about anyone. I still think the Pats are the only team we don't matchup against particularly well.

                I'm thinking we're going to have all close games down the stretch and hopefully we win them all. I'd rather see this team struggling to win and winning now to prepare them for the playoffs.

                  Does the entire offense need to improve? Yes, but I put a lot of that on the receivers. I thought Rudolph played really well yesterday - but his WR's killed him. 3 drops on 3rd down that would've kept drives alive. I just wonder how I'd feel about this offense if that didn't happen?

                  I agree with Flippy that the Pats are the team I feel we struggle to match up with the most. With that said, I also wonder how Minkah changes that. This defense has been completely different since he came on board.

                    I agree that we'll probably be in close games from here on out.

                    I'm just not sure we flip heads in all the rest of them.

                    I guess I'll take 10 - 6 and bringing home our 7th trophy?

                      We could win the next 6 games-I think we go 5-1 over the next 6.

                        Cleveland is favored to beat us by 2.5 pts.

                          We had no rush because we couldn’t cover guys and we had a newbie filling in for Davis who was out.

                          With Minkah back there I think it’s a different ballgame.

                          Still comes down to our O having to do something against that D and that worries me.

                          If we can’t t turnovers we will probably lose again.

                            Makes sense to me.

                            They come off a big win with Hunt coming back.

                            The betting public also knows that it's pretty hard to win a road game on Thursday.

                            I don't think the league should put division games on Thursday nights for that reason. Unless maybe both teams are coming off a bye or something.

                              That's not even the typical field goal advantage they give home teams. So Vegas isn't convinced the Browns have turned the corner.

                                Bills have beaten a bunch of “bad teams”

                                I think the winning percentage of all the teams they beat is .214.

                                It’s not their fault but I think they may be fools gold.

                                Still not taking the Browns lightly because as we saw this weekend, division foes find ways to win.

                                Saints and Miami beat 2 teams some thought were deep playoff teams.

                                No one is tanking this year or trying to lose games for high picks.
