Last night is called the longest night of the year, well it sure felt that way to Browns fans. After all the team went through the last eight days, I thought they had a chance. 18 players out with Covid, five starters on offense and five starters on defense. Starting the team’s third string quarterback who had one walk through to get ready and still didn’t know if he was going to start till game day. Your starting left guard starting at left tackle for the first time, (BTW, Bitonio had a 91.5 grade according to Pro Football Focus). A secondary with special teams’ players making contributions. And still the Browns had an opportunity to win. Let’s get to it.

Positives. The entire Browns team. Yes, there were moments during the game you were scratching your head, but the effort was off the charts. QB Nick Mullens did what he was supposed to do, play smart with no mistakes. In the fourth quarter he engineered a 14 play, 80 yard, eight-minute drive for the go ahead score. On that drive, Mullens was three for three on third down and one for one on fourth down. The Browns third string QB did that. Have you ever heard of Chris Streveier or Jake Browning? They are the third string QB’s for the Ravens and the Bengals. The patched up offensive line allowed no sacks. Alex Van Pelt kept running the ball and it paid off. The defense got two turnovers. DE Myles Garrett and S John Johnson both played the last defensive series hurt. LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah should be defensive rookie of the year. S Jovante Moffitt was all over the field. Finally, the crowd was fantastic.

Negatives. I’ll start with the offense, not for this game, but for the entire season. The defense again held an opponent to less than 17 points and the offense didn’t do its part. All the offense has to do is score 17 points or more. If they had in this game, the Steelers game and the first Baltimore game the Browns would have 10 wins. Including last night, the Browns are averaging 4.2 points a game in the fourth quarter. Last year they averaged 7.9 points a game in the fourth quarter. In one score games, the Browns are 4-5 this year. Last year they were 7-2. The offense has under achieved all year. To get to at least 17 points a game, you have to have a guy who can kick field goals. Chase McLaughlin has missed six of his last eleven field goals. I expect kicker tryouts this week, but let’s face facts, this late in the season the choices are slim.

Injuries. DE Takk McKinley is done for the season with an Achillies tear. S John Johson, III is day to day with a hamstring injury and DE Myles Garrett has a groin injury, status unknown. As for Covis activations, the Browns could get back CB Troy Hill, DT Malik McDowell, DE Ifeadi Odenigbo, WR Jarvis Landry, TE Austin Hooper, LT Jedrick Wills, QB Baker Mayfield and QB Case Keenum. They would have to have no symptoms and test negative. Also, CB Greg Newsome is still in concussion protocol.

What’s left. Surprisingly the Browns are still in the playoff hunt, however winning the division is their best hope. According to ESPN, the Browns have a 16.8% chance to make the playoffs and 13.4% chance to win the division. Here are the remaining games for the AFC North:

Steelers – @ KC, CLE, @ Balt, Cincinnati – Balt, KC, @ CLE, Ravens – @ Cin, LA Rams, Pitt, Browns – @ GB, @ Pitt, Cin.

The ideal situation would be for the Browns to win their last three games but winning in Green Bay seems like a daunting task. However, get some guys back this week and it’s possible. First the team needs to put last night behind them and use it as motivation for this week. As for the division, beat Pittsburg and Cincinnati and they can win the AFC North if things fall the right way. The amazing thing about this season, it seems no one wants to win the AFC North and that helps any team in the division. A team needs to step up and take charge the last three weeks of the season, hopefully it’s the Browns Everyone stay safe and Go Browns.

It’s victory Monday and every Browns fan should be happy, not booing the team in the first minute of the game. The Browns just beat the best team (by record) in the AFC North and are still in the playoff hunt. Because of the results of week 14, the Browns are now second in the division and jumped from eleventh to eighth in the AFC playoff standings. Let’s get to it.

Positives. After a slow start, the offense in the first half started to show signs of life. Three drives, 17 points. Even after the interception by QB Baker Mayfield, the defense held the Ravens to a field goal. Then DE Myles Garrett made the game changing play I’ve been waiting for, strip sack, fumble, recovery and a defensive touchdown. Even the referees helped the Browns. Weird right? Mayfield, TE Austin Hooper, WR Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR Jarvis Landry and the offensive line were the stars on offense. You didn’t hear RT James Hudson’s name mentioned at all. Good job by the rookie. The story of the game though was the defense. Garrett, DE Jadeveon Clowney, DE Takk McKinley, LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, CB Denzel Ward, CB Troy Hill, S John Johnson, III and S Grant Delpit were outstanding. The defense held the Ravens to four or fewer plays on eight of their thirteen offensive possessions. The Ravens were one of twelve on third down conversions. The Browns defense had four sacks and caused two fumbles. Incredible. I think the Browns have a new punter and WR JoJo Natson is such a smart player.

Negatives. The second half offense. On the two touchdown drives in the first half, the offense moved the ball so you know it can be done. When the running game wasn’t working, the Browns did short five-to-six-yard passes on first down. Very smart. In the second half, nothing was working and when it did, the Browns kicker missed a field goal. The Browns have scored one touchdown in the last eight fourth quarters and been outscored in the fourth quarter 105 to 52. How in the hell is this team still in the playoff hunt? How do they have seven wins? Head coach Kevin Stefanski needs to go for the throat like he did in the first half last year when he knew the defense was bad and had to pile on points. Please keep WR JoJo Natson as the punt returner. Thank you. When you know, the other team is going to attempt an onside kick, watch the kicker and the ball, please. Thank you.

Scoreboard Watching Week 15. The Browns play the Raiders who are a mess right now, but QB Derek Carr seems to have some his best games versus the Browns. Beat the Raiders and root for the Chiefs over the Chargers Thursday night, the Patriots over the Colts Saturday night, the Titans over the Steelers, the Panthers over the Bills, the Broncos over the Bengals and the Packers over the Ravens. If all that can happen, brace yourselves, the Browns will be in first place in the AFC North with three games to play. The Browns haven’t won two games in a row since September, December would be a nice time to start. Everybody stay safe and Go Browns.

Usually this time of year, Browns fans are well versed in every NFL mock draft available. However now it’s time to scoreboard watch. Prior to the first game against the Ravens, the Brown’s playoff chances improved due to key losses by the Colts, Chargers and Steelers. Then the Browns laid an egg and wasted an opportunity. During the bye week, the Browns playoff chances were again helped by loses by the Ravens, Bengals, Raiders, Broncos and Bills. The Browns now go into week 14 at 6-6 with five games to go and are still in the playoff hunt. Hard to believe this time last year the Browns were 9-3.

Currently the Browns are the eleventh seed in the AFC and only the top seven make the playoffs. So, what need to happen week 14? First and foremost, the Browns have to win on Sunday against the Ravens. Just like the Browns, there’s something wrong with the Ravens, who have not played well at times which means the Browns have a chance for a victory. For the Browns to climb to the seventh seed after this weekend the Steelers need to lose to the Vikings Thursday night. Then on Sunday the Browns need Kansas City to beat the Raiders, Denver to beat the Lions, the Giants to beat the Chargers, the 49ers to beat the Bengals and Tampa to beat the Bills. That’s a lot to hope for, but this NFL season has been unusual to say the least. Hell, Monday night a starting NFL quarterback won a game going 2 of 3 for 19 yards.

Because three of the Browns last five games are AFC North games, they still have a slight chance to win the division. For that to happen, the Browns need to win the remaining divisional games and for New England to win the AFC East, the Chiefs to win the AFC West and turmoil in the AFC South. Has your head exploded yet? Bottom line, the Browns need to come out of the bye week with their hair on fire and win some damn games, it’s crunch time. If they don’t, I’ll be looking at mock drafts till the end of the year. Everybody stay safe and Go Browns.

On a day where loses by teams like the Chargers, the Colts and the Steelers would have helped the Browns in their playoff chase, they go into Baltimore and leave their offense in Cleveland. Or maybe they left it in Cincinnati because they’ve scored 30 points over their last three games. On the defensive side of the ball, the Browns play their best game as a unit and their best game against Lamar Jackson. What a waste. It’s been 48 hors, so let’s get to it.

Positives. The defense. That’s it. According to Pro Football Focus, four of the top five grades went to defensive players. Safety Grant Delpit (91.5), LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (88.1), S John Johnson, III (77.8) and CB Greg Newsome, II (77.7). Newsome and JOK make the 2021 NFL draft for the Browns a big success. Both are studs. The Browns took what the Bengals and the Dolphins did to the Ravens and combined them. Now please do it for four quarters.

Negatives. The Offense. That’s it. Only LG Joel Bitonio graded in the top five with PFF at 89.5. If the defense is going to put eight and nine players in the box, how about we try a screen pass or a designed roll out. And when your injured quarterback throws you the ball, freaking catch it. It’s time for head coach Kevin Stefanski to let OC Alex Van Pelt call plays. Breaking News: The Browns still have 12 men on the field. It’s also time to find a new punter, sorry Jamie, you’re a nice story, but damn.

As for the state of the team. They are 6-6 and can still make the playoffs. The wildcard is their only hope. No one will be fired in the off-season. For all the Baker haters, he’s still the guy. Aaron Rogers is not coming to Cleveland. Russell Wilson is not coming to Cleveland. I know all the kitchen table GM’s think it’s possible, but that’s not how the NFL works. That’s not how this front office works. Mayfield didn’t forget how to play football, he’s hurt. Apparently, an injured Mayfield is a better option than a healthy Keenum. I really didn’t want to see Case Keenum against that defense. Finally. the Browns aren’t going to blow it up and start over. Are you insane? Do really want to start over with another retread NFL QB or a rookie? Do you not remember Doug Peterson, Trent Dilfer, Jake Delhomme, Jason Campbell, Cody Kessler, Kevin Hogan and DeShone Kizer?

Let’s hope this coaching staff takes the bye week to look at themselves and the state of the team. The talent is still there and like I said, the playoffs are still in sight. Use the bye week appropriately or it’s bye-bye playoffs. Everyone stay safe and Go Browns.

Victory Monday, I think. On an ugly nasty day, the Browns won in an ugly nasty way. Should QB Baker Mayfield played yesterday? Yes. Should he have continued to play after the latest injury? Probably not. Apparently, an injured Mayfield is better than a healthy Case Keenum. One thing that’s obvious though, an injured Mayfield is not good for the Browns offense, which hasn’t scored more than 17 points in five of the last six games. So, let’s get to it.

Positives. When the offense was clicking, like the first touchdown drive, it really is a thing of beauty. Head coach Kevin Stefanski showed why he was coach of the year last year on that drive. I don’t know who WR Jaris Landry was supposed to throw the ball to, but I’m glad he didn’t. Highest graded players on offense according to Pro Football Focus were, LG Joel Bitonio (90.9), RB Nick Chubb (83.8), RB D’Ernest Johnson (79.1), C J.C. Tretter (78.1), TE David Njoku (75.7) and RG Wyatt Teller (72.5). On defense the highest graded players were CB Denzel Ward (85.9), S Ronnie Harrison (79.9), CB Greedy Williams (79.7) and DE Myles Garrett (75.5). The Browns defense did what it needed to do in the first half to slow down the Lions. Ward is playing his way back into a contract extension and LB Malcolm Smith makes plays when he’s on the field.

Negatives. Throwing from inside the ten-yard line instead of running the ball with that guy named Chubb was not the brightest idea. Of course, your injured QB overthrew a wide-open Jarvis Landry and it ended up being an interception. Both of Mayfield’s interceptions were bad. Ten penalties, it’s freaking week 11 and the Browns are still committing stupid penalties. Brace yourself folks, it too late in the season for this to get any better. On defense, the Browns continue to not make adjustments at half time. After three weeks of very good play by safety John Johnson, III, he regressed during this game. The lack of consistency on this team is maddening. Who kidnaped our kicker and replaced him? Finally, whoever thought former player LaVar Arrington would be a good fit in the booth must have pictures on someone. How in god’s name do mispronounce Jim Browns name?

Yes, the Browns won yesterday and yes, it’s victory Monday. If your happy about the victory, like I am, then do yourself a favor, stay off Browns twitter for the day. I’m sure Bills fans, Packer fans and Titan fans would have like to have won ugly yesterday. Now the Browns go to Baltimore and play the luckiest team in the league. Hopefully the team will clean up some things this week and Stefanski will keep it simple next week. Also, it looks like RB Kareem Hunt and RT Jack Conklin will be back this week. Everyone stay safe and Go Browns.

It’s been 48 hours and I’ve calmed down enough to write about a Sunday embarrassment. That’s the only word I can use. To follow a total team win with a total team loss is an embarrassment. There was only one positive to Sunday’s game, the first drive. Then the football yoda, Bill Belichick saw enough and made the adjustments that needed to be made, after one drive. Think about that, defensive adjustments after one drive. The Browns failed to counter with adjustments in the passing game after the Patriots took away the run. Did head coach Kevin Stefanski abandon the run too soon? Yes he did, but to not adjust the passing game to compensate is ridiculous. On defense the fault belongs to not only defensive coordinator Joe Woods, but also the players. Wood’s defense is too passive and too predicable. As for the players, the talent is there, it’s the effort I question. DT Malik once told the media, the NFL is not a 9-5 job, implying the commitment with of some his teammates might not be 100%. But on a positive note, those Halloween costumes looked great.

I’m still on board with QB Baker Mayfield and Kevin Stefanski. To put the blame on one person is silly. But if Mayfield is hurt, rest him against the Lions and start Case Keenum. It appeared to me, his plant foot was bothering him. Now add a knee injury to the shoulder injury and the foot injury and it’s time to take bench for a game. Rest up and get ready for the stretch run. Hopefully RB Nick Chubb will be ready to go this Sunday. By the way, has anyone seen WR Rashard Higgins? He seems to have disappeared. I’ll say it again, no one is getting fired right now. However during the off-season, that’s a different matter.

It’s very apparent that the 2021 NFL season is a season of parody. Three weeks ago, the Bengals were the flavor of the month. Two losses later, nope. It wasn’t too long ago that the Los Angels Rams were the number one team in the league. Last time I checked, nope. Two weeks ago the Bills lost to the Jags 9-6 and the Cowboys trailed the Broncos 30-0 going into the fourth quarter at home. This past week the vaunted Ravens with MVP Lamar Jackson lost to the Dolphins, Tampa got embarrassed by the Washington Football Team and the Steelers tied the winless Lions at home. Insert your own joke about kissing your sister and Pittsburg. My point is, the Browns can still make the playoffs with seven games to go, however I hope to see a better team effort this weekend or the Loins may get their first win. And please, on defense get off the damn field on third down and on offense no more wildcat plays to the fullback. Is that asking for too much? Everyone stay safe and Go Browns.

Victory Monday and after a week like that, it was a well deserved win. Apparently having an all-pro wide receiver on your team running whatever routes he wants is a problem. Not only for the offense, but also for the defense. Let’s look at the positives and the negatives.

Positives. Quarterback Baker Mayfield. He was 14 of 21 (67%) for 218 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions and a QBR of 132.6. Under pressure, Mayfield had a QBR grade of 94.3. He is now 6-1 versus the Bengals. Other Pro Football Focus grades for the offense, RG Wyatt Teller 93.8, WR Donovan Peoples-Jones 91.8, QB Baker Mayfield 89.9, TE Harrison Bryant 80.7, TE David Njoku 78.9, RB Nick Chubb 75.5, LG Joel Bitonio 72.1, LT Jedrick Wills 71.1 and C J.C. Tretter 70.4. The Browns Sunday became the first NFL team since 2012 to have a defensive touchdown of 60 yards or more, a touchdown pass for 60 yards or more and a touchdown run for 60 yards or more. On defense the highest graded players according to PFF were, CB Denzel Ward 93.1, John Johnson, III 85.8, LB Anthony Walker 77.5,Myles Garrett 75.7, LB Elijah Lee 74.3, DT Sheldon Day 73.6 and Ronnie Harrison 70.6. The Browns defense showed what they could do when they finally have a healthy secondary. CB Greg Newsome, Ward, Johnson and CB Troy Hill balled out. Imagine this defense when they get LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah back from injury. The Browns defense have held two teams to 15 and 16 points in back-to-back weeks and in the second half, gave up only 99 yards in total offense. Outstanding job by defensive coordinator Joe Woods on the game plan.

Negatives. Ten freaking penalties. Gentlemen don’t line up offsides, please. The coaching staff needs to put an end to this crap this week, inexcusable. I’m not the conspiracy theory type a guy, but you’re letting someone at the home office call a roughing the passer play? Really? Then you don’t call a helmet-to-helmet penalty, but still tell the wide receiver who got hit to go to the sidelines to get checked for a concussion? The NFL referees have it in for the Cleveland Browns. If the only other negative is your kicker missed a field goal, that’s a pretty positive performance.

Injuries and IR. CB Greedy Williams (shoulder) and DE Takk McKinley (groin) are both day to day. RT Jack Conklin was placed on IR Saturday with an elbow injury. RB Kareem Hunt and LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah are eligible to come off the IR this week, but head coach Kevin Stefanski told the local media today he’ll have more information on both Wednesday.

It was a great team win Sunday. The defense is finally playing up to its talent and the offense played like it was 2020. Great game plans on both side of the ball. Next up, the Patriots. Everyone stay safe and Go Browns.

This is head coach Kevin Stefanski’s standard answer when asked by the Cleveland media about the Browns lack of execution. He says it when they lose and he says it when they win. Yes coach, everyone has to do a better job. So far the 2021 Cleveland Browns aren’t doing their jobs. From catching the football, to blocking and to tackling, the 2021 Cleveland Browns are having a season of missed opportunities. The Browns have led going into the fourth quarter in three of their four losses. Last year this team knew how to close games. Sometimes recovering an onside kick was necessary to secure the win, but they still closed out the game. So who’s to blame for this pile of average? There’s plenty of blame to go around.

Let’s start with the head coach. The Browns lead the NFL in penalties. The last time they did that, Freddie Kitchens was the head coach. If you’re a Browns head coach, the person you don’t want to be compared to is Freddie Kitchens. Penalties are placed at the foot of the head coach, it shows lack of attention to detail. A key third down and your wide receiver has a false start? What a freaking joke. Last year the whole team fed off of Stefanski’s calm, cool demeanor, this year there’s a sense of stressful nervousness. As for the play calling, yes wide receivers, tight ends and running backs were dropping routine passes, but the play calling in the second quarter was horrendous. I know Kevin Stefanski can be an offensive genius, he proved it with the first offensive possession in the second half. It was a nice mix of passing and running plays. Finally you have to keep running the ball, don’t give up on the run.

Next up, QB Baker Mayfield. Yes he had some high passes, but my problem was he’s not seeing the whole field. He’s missing wide open receivers while trying to force the ball into uncatchable situations. Where the hell was TE David Njoku for three quarters yesterday? He’s the ninth highest graded TE in the NFL. For weeks, everyone was saying the Browns missed having Jarvis Landry on the field. Now their saying the team really misses Donovan Peoples-Jones. Last time I looked, Njoku has been there every game. He can be a nightmare for a defense.

On a day where the defense held their opponent to 15 points and lost, quarterbacks like Trevor Siemian, Cooper Rush and Mike White were winning NFL games. Hell, even Geno Smith won yesterday. The Browns have scored 41 points their last three games. That’s a little over 13 points a game. This offense has become boring and inconsistent. All a defense has to do is put seven or guys in the box to take away the run and dare the Browns to throw the ball. What the hell happened to the offense that was used in the first game against Kansas City? Or the offense that was lighting up scoreboards in 2020? Opposing defenses were afraid of that offense. I think Kevin Stefanski was so worried about other teams figuring last years offense, he lost his creativity. Where are the trick plays? I could have sworn the Browns drafted a wide receiver with world class speed.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling for anyone to be fired and I still think Stefanski is the coach that can lead this team to the promise land. I also still have faith in QB Baker Mayfield. My advise to Kevin Stefanski, not that he cares what a self-employed accountant thinks, relax, don’t overthink things. This team was built to score a ton of points, get the lead and then run the ball to hold onto the lead. That way, the opposing team is in panic mode and making mistakes. The Browns can still make the playoffs, but they’re going to have to score more than 13 points a game. The whole team needs do a better job. I still think this is the most talented Browns roster I’ve seen. Let’s relax and refocus, because right now the team looks like they’re disoriented. Everyone stay safe and Go Browns.

It’s Victory Friday. VICTORY FRIDAY. The Browns were in “must win” territory last night and came through. No QB1, no RB1, no RB2, no RT 1, no WR3 and no potential defensive rookie of the year. No problem. Well not quite. I know all Browns fans were sweating a river after the last Bronco touchdown, I was. But at 4-3, I’m feeling much better this morning. So, lets get to it.

Positives. QB Case Keenum, RB D’Ernest Johnson, RT (right tackle?) Blake Hance, LT Jedrick Wills, LB Mack Wilson, CB Troy Hill, LB Anthony Walker, S John Johnson, III, offensive line coach Bill Callahan and running back coach Stump Mitchell. Good teams have backups who can step-up and coaches who know how to coach. That game felt like the score should’ve been 28-14 Browns. Keenum doesn’t have the arm he used to have, but did what was needed to win the game. The offensive line was great and opened wholes for D’Ernest Johnson all night. Speaking of Johnson, there are a lot of GM’s in the NFL looking at their third string running backs and are scratching their heads. On defense, even though the Broncos had two touchdown drives, they were long, time consuming drives. The Browns defense made them earn every yard. Good to see LB Mack Wilson have his best game both on defense and special teams. According to Pro Football Focus, he was the fifth rated defender and number one rated special teamer. Both CB Troy Hill and S John Johnson, III had good games. Glad to see the Browns line Johnson closer to the line of scrimmage on certain plays. The special teams coverage units are fantastic and the punt return unit came real close to a blocked punt. Final positive, the crowed. I had forgotten how that crowd buzz sounded on television.

Negatives. I had a few small problems with the play calling early in the game. If your QB doesn’t have the arm to throw long passes, don’t have him throw long passes. Early in the game, Keenum tried to force the ball to OBJ on a long pass that could have been intercepted. TE David Njoku was open and I mean open in the middle of the field. In the second half, the play calling really improved. Nice half-time adjustments. On defense, the Browns are going to need to be more consistent. In the first half, they did a great job of making up for the loss of LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. In the second half, you saw how important JOK is to this defense. Yes the officiating was bad, again, however the players need to stop criticizing the referees. NFL referees have long memories. If it’s October, then Denzel Ward has a hamstring injury. Incredibly kicker Chase McLaughlin missed a field goal. It wasn’t his fault the kick got blocked, but DT Andrew Billings has to do a better job of protecting the rush lanes. Missed Shelby Harris by a mile. On the positive side, McLaughlin made his next kick, an extra point attempt. In the past a Browns kicker would miss that because they were still thinking about the block.

This was an important team win. Now the players can take some time off and rest up. The coaches can do some self scouting to improve schemes on both side of the ball. It’s time to get some more players back from injury. As for QB Baker Mayfield, he can play with his injury and he wants to start against the Steelers. If it was serious, the team would ‘ve already put him on IR and scheduled his surgery. I expect him to play. Enjoy the break, everyone stay safe and Go Browns.

Because of the short game week, I’m waiving my 48 hour rule for better or worse. The Browns are currently 3-3 and are tied with the Steelers for last place in the AFC North. Personally, I had them at 4-2 at this point. First of all, the season isn’t over. No one is getting traded or fired. There’s still eleven games left and time to simplify and fix the problems. All I know is the Browns need to beat the brakes off of the Broncos on Thursday night and go into the mini bye to heal up and self scout. My main problem with yesterday was how flat the team was. No fire, no anger that they let one get away in Los Angles, flat. Note to head coach Kevin Stefanski, either kick the field goal on fourth and four or draw up a better play. Four sacks on four fourth down plays. Really? The Cardinals loaded the line of scrimmage to stop the run. Why not run a bubble screen? Or a jet sweep? Wear the defense down early by having them go east and west, then start to pound them up the middle in the third quarter. Makes sense to me.

As for the defense, safety John Johnson, III told the local media he’s playing a position he’s not used to playing. How about playing him closer to the line of scrimmage and not in coverage? That’s how the Rams used him. Arizona had a new center and during the game he had trouble snapping the ball. I saw one pressure up the middle by DT Malik McDowell and it turned into a sack. The Browns have the talent to rush the quarterback up the middle. You don’t have to blitz, just pressure up the middle. I know the players are learning a new system, but the Cardinals put the ball on the ground four times Sunday, three from bad snaps.

The only thing I’ll say about the officiating, does anyone know when QB Kyler Murray was released for the hospital after that devastating roughing the passer call? Thoughts and prayers. Note to Denzel Ward, stop using your hands so much, the referees are going to call it every time. Every damn time.

The injuries are starting to pile up. RB Kareem Hunt will probably by put on IR this week because of a calf injury. LB Jeramiah Owusu-Koramoah will more than likely join him, with a high ankle sprain. Four to six weeks recovery time on both injuries. As for any players returning for the Broncos game, possibly RT Jack Conklin, but don’t bet the house. Hopefully they’ll get WR Jarvis Landry back.

Now the Denver game becomes a must win. Denver started fast by beating up on bad teams. Since then, the good teams have been boat racing them. They have a great run defense and a terrible offense. The Browns defense will be without JOK but will have everyone else. I know the Browns defense have allowed 84 points in the last two games, but the Broncos are a team this defense can feast on.

Thanks for letting me rant, I feel much better now. Not really, but it’s time to move on to the next game. Everyone stay safe and Go Browns.
