[Official] Browns @ Texans

I’d prefer CJ but last week was among the most satisfying I’ve ever experienced as a houston pro football fan. Next man up let’s goooo

 

Hate to say it but I’m taking the browns here.

this isn’t an ordinary defense and Case threw a number of suspect throws last week. Some of the throws he made against the titans would be picked off by the browns defense. We need to win this game but it’s hard to see with Case starting unless he build up some great chemistry with Collins.

 

I love seeing the Texans play good D. I guess it's a throwback to the Original Doomsday Defense when I had to watch Dallas because we couldn't get the AFL on NBC because of the weak signal.

You know you're getting ancient when 75% of the world thinks snow on TV is a scene and not a weak signal.

 

Fortunately, Flacco can throw interceptions too. Even Watson threw 4 interceptions in 6 games with that good Browns offensive line. I'm hoping we win the battle when it comes to turnovers. Luckily Case has an extra target this week with Collins. Let's just hope we can get a rushing game going with their great defense.

 

Cleveland is a legit good team, even with subpar QB play.

The Texans might give Cleveland a run for their money, but I think the smart money will likely be on Cleveland winning this game.

I’ve been keeping an eye on Cleveland since the Texans own their #1 pick, and Cleveland without Watson is playing top notch overall team football. Reminds me of the typical Baltimore Raven teams who built Super Bowl contenders with lackluster QB play.

But by all means the Texans won’t be a walk in the park, but without Stroud the Texans are definitely the underdogs here.

 

Keenum Magic lives

 

If our D plays like last week and doesn't stink it up (Panthers, Falcons, Jets) we'll be good. 19-13 Texans.

 

This would be the biggest win of the season if we can get it without CJ. Browns are a really good team.

 

Browns on the road:

9/18 Steelers L 22-26

10/22 Colts W 39-38

10/29 Seahawks L 20-24

11/12 Ravens W 33-31

11/26 Broncos L 12-29

12-3 Rams L 19-36

184 points in 6 games or about 30 points a game.

It doesn't look like a defensive juggernaut to me, at least not on the road. Why does everyone think that's who they are?

I would be curious to know how many of those points were either scored by opposing defenses directly (pick 6 etc) or were set up by the opposing teams defense getting good field position

 

I'm sure there is some, but 30 per game seems to be more than just defensive scoring and short fields.

Let's see how the Texans compare:

9/10 Ravens L 9-25

9/24 Jaguars W 37-17

10/8 Falcons L 19-21

10/29 Panthers L 13-15

11/12 Bengals W 30-27

12-10 Jets L 6-30

12-17 Titans W 19-16

So 151 points in 7 games or about 21 points per game. Maybe WE have the superior Defense on the road.

 

So are the Steelers and Chargers gonna do us a little favor tonight or is that asking too much?

 

They've never given us any favors before.

I've seen this movie before. Team we're cheering against is down 14 only to make a comeback because the team we're cheering for starts making dumb decisions. Not falling for it, Skip. Nope, Skip.

 

Nah, tomorrow is essentially a must win. Sure, we could still make the playoffs if we lose, but if you win, you control your playoff destiny and get a better draft pick.

If we win, I'm not sure what happens, but I'd assume we jump to 5th or 6th seed.

Turnover battle will be key.

 

There are too many teams who can get to 9 wins to know. It would be down to tie breakers in the AFC with as many as 3 teams with worse records from the NFC still in.
