Does anyone truly believe we can beat the Browns?

[Blue64]

Baker Mayfield will put up the best numbers of his career against this secondary and their running game will be unstoppable

 

[Joe Realist]

Browns 38
Cowboys 34

 

[Aven8]

Chubb and Hunt will be tough.

 

[CarolinaFathead]

Yeah we can win but this game is a toss up. This is a good Browns team. The legacy of the past two decades shouldn’t cloud a fan’s mind. We are going to have to play well to win.

After the Rams game I readjusted expectations and I’m going week to week wanting to see improvement and watch players develop and the team get better. I went into Sunday’s game against SEA thinking we can win (and we could have) and I’m going into this game thinking we can win. But we have to play well and don’t turn the ball over. It would be nice if the defense could give us a couple short fields.

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

based on what we have seen thus far why would anyone in their right mind not see this as a game they could just as easily lose?

They could indeed. The question posed is CAN they win, not WILL they win. That is why it's a stupid question, designed I suspect to incite an argument.

No team would take Baker over Ryan right now. Ryan is a far superior passer. The Browns are not guaranteed to pick up Baker’s 5th year option at this point.

I disagree. Baker has energized and changed the browns , a team that was winless for 2 years . He is very talent and a gamer .

....of course, we almost beat Seachickens and Rams. We just beat ourselves.

 

[CWR]

Yeah, I actually believe we will beat the Browns and the Giants.

....of course, we almost beat Seachickens and Rams. We just beat ourselves.

No, we did not. Those games were not close as we are making it seem. Dare I say, the Browns are almost ready to sit with the adults while we’re still at the kids table..??

 

[Havic]

Who will turn the ball over more..Dak or Baker?

 

[panchucko]

Yes we can beat the Browns

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Who will turn the ball over more..Dak or Baker?

probably Dak. Not meant to be a shot at Dak, I’m Only saying this because our secondary won’t get another turnover til week 16 probably. And probably because we’ll be behind for majority of the game til Dak has to throw us back like the past 3 weeks

 

[Havic]

I think the turnover battle will determine the game tbh, no shot at at Dak intended but secure the damn ball.

Bet he doesn't do that to us. The secondary in the second half played a lot better. The TD to Metcalf, Wilson had all day to get him the ball. No secondary would have covered Metcalf. Look at last night's game how many times did the Chief's WR's expose the Ravens secondary deep when Mahomes had all day to throw it.

They matchup at our weaknesses.

-Our O-line is depleted. Collins isn’t going to be back til who knows, who knows what’s going on with Tyron. And they have Myles Garrett on the opposite end. After the Seahawks so called “atrocious” pass rush got pressure on Dak multiple times due to multiple holes opening (mostly because of Connor Williams and Joe Looney when he was in). Who knows what we’re in for with Myles Garrett. This may be a repeat of the Atlanta game back in 2017....

-Our defense as a whole. While Aldon Smith made huge strides forward last week, he alone cannot defeat an entire team. D-Law continues to be a no show, Jaylon is slow, our secondary is hot garbage. Need I go on? Even Diggs is not that great. Yes he’s a rookie so I’ll cut him some slack, but man. When a rookie who’s always 2 steps behind is your best corner, you’re in extremely bad shape. Jarvis Landry? Odell? They’re going to feast on this horrendous secondary. Baker isn’t the best QB, but he can light your defense up on occasion. Especially if our front 7 can’t get pressure on him? Yeah. I’m not sure on that. Everyone says to give the defense time, however, we’re running out of time here. These are supposed to be the “easier”
games. If we can’t show up and show out, we’re either done in the division, or one and done in the playoffs.

Their running game is off the charts. Hunt and Chubb are a dangerous combo. With Jaylon Snail Smith running out there, I’m not sure we’re going to be able to stop the run. Good lord.

I’m not sure how we win this. I’ve heard the Browns secondary isn’t that great, which is good for Dallas, however, we have a common enemy here: Kellen Moore, aka, Jekyll and Hyde. Unless we’re down, he’s Hyde. Screwing things up. Calling stupid playcalls.

Thoughts ?

This will be a very difficult game to win.....

 

[PAPPYDOG]

heck no, we got the red rocket, so we should use it.
We now have the panic boy who gets tunnel vision after getting pressured, so should be an upgrade. ;0

Only GM Jerry would hold 31 million of our Cap dollars hostage for inept Prescott.
Bye bye Byron we miss you back there!!

 

[plymkr]

Their run game scares the hell out of me. Our DL gets pushed off the ball at will and our LBs are terrible. Chubb and Hunt are both extremely talented backs and we have no one who can stop them.

Baker Mayfield doesn't quite have the arm to bomb our secondary like Russell Wilson did, but I can see us getting a 180-200 rushing yard gutting. It could look like the Vikings game last year, or the Rams every freaking time we play them.

And Myles Garrett versus Brandon Knight, lolololol.

Their run game and OBJ scares me. I think we should win but that doesn't mean we will.

Ha, if we lose than this board is going to go in full meltdown mode. The Dak, Dlaw, Zeke, Cooper, Jaylon, McCarthy, and Moore hate will be through the roof. I'll do some serious hating on DLaw, Zeke, Jaylon and Moore. I might mention Jerry too

 

[BHendri5]

We can beat any team

 

[Beast_from_East]

....of course, we almost beat Seachickens and Rams. We just beat ourselves.

We are also a fluke onside recovery away from being winless.

So yes, we are very capable of beating the Browns and we are also very capable of losing to the Browns.
