Now what could help, and is certainly possible, is Watson just stinking. He's not shown he's close to the guy he was prior to the scandal.

If he stinks Sunday, we have a chance. OL injuries could also help us immensely.

Could be an ugly, low scoring game if our D shows up.
Doubt Cleveland can win a high scoring game unless Deshaun Watson has the biggest resurrection since Jesus.
I think these teams are closer than that... but, you are right... On the Road, Dawg Pound. A bonafide top defense. Hard to get too excited.

Against Dallas a QB doesn't need to be GREAT, all he has to do is have guys blow coverage, miss tackles etc etc, and the QB looks all world

Cleveland excels in man coverage. Best in the league. They're going to make things difficult on the passing game. Garrett is going to line up all over the DL. Im sure they will try to isolate him on Guyton, Beebe or Steele all game.

Dallas will need some turnovers to have a chance. I don't like the matchup at all, especially on the road. The wild card is we have no idea what to expect from Deshaun Watson. Based on reports, it doesnt seem like he's back to his Texans form at all.

Wish we did this, we just keep our guy on one side and hope for the best

Sorry boys, but I'm not feeling it for Sunday.

1. Dallas was 2-4 last year when facing winning teams...before Packers in playoffs
2. Cleveland had 2nd best defense last year (DVOA rating)
3. The dog pound is loud and emotional & Browns were 8-1 at home last year
4. Guyton facing Myles Garrett in his very first game is too much
5. Dallas has lost 8 of it's last 11 games on grass
6. Cleveland has one of the most complete rosters in NFL
7. First game of season = sloppy. Cleveland can be damp and windy.
total epic fail of post this isn't last year..NEXT wont read past line 1 as you say last year 5 times.. epic fan fail..

so, we lose ugly???

so i'm keeping receipts bro and when we lose a close game ill call that a major win.. :facepalm: ,If we win im bringing the eggs to thor in your FACE,, this fan base is becoming an epic fail. Nothing but negativity and hate ..

by the way i remember a whole lot of the same chatter that was going to happen with the new york giants game 1 they were playoff team the year before we beat them 40-0 if memory serves me right?? then all the backtracking saying it was just the giants.lmao just liemit was just Tampa inthe Playoff game they were not good all of sudden but pregame we were losing.

To be honest....according to a couple of nuggets, they were open to adjusting his contract with more years and money. I am not sure what's happened...
They just gave him a bunch of guarantees this year and didn't add any years.

I don't really get why they did that but he was going to hold out so not a lot of leverage.

LOL.

The least surprising thing on this board would be the Cowboys losing a close game and you considering it a win.

The first game of the year never shows that. Especially after sitting most of the starters in preseason.
last year 40-0 beat down of the playoff NYG since we want to say last year all the time as if teams are all the same..

but i agree with you all teams go through this college is worse. So many hard to predict game 1s..Sorry, but if you think like 20-30 snaps from your starters in preseason helps in a 17 games season, you need to lay down that pipe.. that's fallacy, i believe KC plays their starters a lot and lost last year game 1 , huh SB caliber team uses PS to get ready and LOST!! it means nothing

we started 3-5 in 18 made changes finished 10-6 2nd round id say trying to make any predictions; good bad or indifferent is a useless waste OF TIME.,

watch the dang games!! it one at a time and it how you finish not how you start as the NYG 2 playoff runs saw SF start slow many seasons, Heck, Joe burrow and those bungles start slow yearly.

Just for fun Complete twist of the things,

We don’t know how Browns are this year, still it will be a good defense but Watson don’t know how he is, our LB corps shall be better and secondary should be fine meaning if pass rush gets home we can cause some disruption.
An early turn over makes a hell of difference and offense capitalize ( If) then we are in a different ballgame

Like he destroyed the Packers , Bills and Dolphins last season?

You're the same cat that guaranteed we were gonna beat the Packers.

Declaring things don't make them true
Like Myles Garrett destroyed the Texans?
