Unfortunately, we're going to miss the Deshaun Watson show. No idea who the QB will be. They have DTR who is not good. They have Jameis that might put up 500 on us but also throw 5 INTs. They now have Bailey Zappe coming in too.

Regardless, Cleveland is not a very good team right now. They have their guys on defense, but the offense is putrid and is a really good opportunity for our struggling D to figure things out.

If Jameis lights us up, I swear lol

Huge bummer playing Winston instead of Watson or DTR. Both the later suck massively and would have given us a bye week. Thankfully cooper is out so perhaps we can rest Humphrey.

Chub being back hurts a lot too. They will certainly score over 20 points this week, but if we keep them under 30 I'll be happy

I expect Myles garret to dominate the right side of our line, proving my theory that DF simply won't work out against Watt Garret & Chris jones later in the year.

I also expect adarius or Hamilton to grab a first turnover against slingin Jamis

The Browns have yet to score 20 points on offense. Watch us be the first team to allow it.
If we are in a shootout with Jameis Winston.... something needs to happen with Orr. One of the times, I wish our BYE week was earlier. By Week 14, at that point Lamar & Derrick might just get into Orr's face about the defensive play. Lamar looked pissed about what was happening and how Tampa almost came back. Lamar can't keep having to go score for score every week, something needs to change if Jameis Winston and Bo Nix gets Lamar in a shootout over the next two games.

Thanks Cleveland........ you are so bad that we have Tom McCarthy & Jay Feely calling our game this week. We couldn't even get Spero Dedes at least, come on CBS.

Shawn Smith is the ref assigned to our game this week, the same ref who was the ref in the AFC Championship Game. There was a bunch of stuff before that game about how Smith favors the road team, how this was a sign the NFL was fixing the game for KC, etc. Plus he just did the game between the Jets & Steelers, which the home team won. Smith was also the ref during that controversial Colts game.... where the Browns won due to questionable penalties.

As long as we do our part and take care of business, refs won't matter. Just thought I point this out.

this year refs must be getting bonuses on the amount of flags they throw out per week and total for the year.

is there anyway we can get the strike refs back.

I always hate these games in the AFC North with a bad team. Sometimes we play down to the Browns level and the game is close.

Not having to play against Watson is a bonus as he lit us up last year.

Curious to see if the offense keeps on rolling or we turn this into an ugly divisional game.
