Can someone explain all the hype I've seen the Browns getting in here? They beat the fukking Bears :heh:

They still aint got no QB and their star running back is not coming back this year. They aint doing shyt in the playoffs even if they make it
They haven't collapsed despite every chance to.

9-5 playing Watson with a broken shoulder, DTR, PJ Walker and the corpse of Joe Flacco at QB is impressive as hell.

Ravens playing @ SF and vs Miami, they play Texans(maybe Stroud is back?) and Jets... both teams could be 11-5 heading to week 18

There's a massive different between not collapsing and being an actual threat. The way people are talking about this is that they see them as some kind of threat. Good Luck beating any of the top 4 at their houses without Chubb or Watson while starting the corpse of Joe Flacco

Browns will be a potential super bowl favorite next year, but for now they'll be more of an annoyance than anything else to the actual big dogs.

I don't think they'll make a huge run but they've got the #1 defense in the NFL and defense travels.

They've gotta win the AFCN to get a playoff game at home where they're 7-1. If they get past that game, who knows? Would it shock me if you told me in a month they were playing in the AFCCG? Not really.
It would absolutely shock me :heh:

Which AFC contender can't they play with?

They split with the Ravens already, beat the Colts, beat the Bengals, play the Texans this week. I think Miami and Chiefs are better than them but not by much.
Listen if I'm wrong I'm wrong but over the past few years we've seen in the playoffs if you don't have a good starting QB or offense you're food. Ask the Steelers fans

-Mike Tomlin and Bill Belicheck both need fresh starts elsewhere. Beli has a few more years left he can get a team over the hill with the right pieces.
-Dak lost himself the MVP race with his performance against Buffalo
-Speaking of Buffalo, they are the 2nd best team in the NFL right now (Behind SF)
-Baker Mayfield has played himself into a 2nd contract in TB. Be on the lookout for those Progressive commercials next season
-Only reason Arthur Smith won't be fired today is because his daddy is a Billionaire buddy of Arthur Blank.
-Justin Fields and the Bears need to mutually part ways. That ship has sailed and honestly getting tiresome with the storyline.
-The hype around Ben Johnson is giving me vibes that he'll be a bust as a HC

The bears were never keep fields once they realized they could get Caleb or Maye. It wouldn’t even make sense financially to do so unless fields was like a top ten qb

Nah. He's not even the MVP on his own team.
I see more and more how this probably not as true as many believe: tyreek is great but it’s not a huge gap as we saw yesterday. Tua still got pulled at the end of the 3rd which just one weapon so I feel like it’s been more of. Force feed to tyreek while tua would probably be fine going forward without him. They elevate each other but tua made waddle look like one of the best receivers in the nfl yesterday.

Payton is a good coach

He did the impossible in getting the Saints a SB.


He's getting Denver on the right track. They were looking like the Saints did before Payton got there :francis:

Trust me, breh, I know that experience firsthand :blessed:

His arrogant-ass obsession with the "Random #s" tho :jordanfacepalm:

Wasted several years here and kept him and Brees from possibly getting another SB :snoop: (that and the :trash: "Defense")

And he fukked up by not only bouncin on us :dry:, but recommended to Loomis that dumb-ass Stinky should be the next HC :hhh:

Now look at the mess my Saints are in because of him :smh:

The heights
I learned a lot of Bear fans are ride or die for Justin Fields. They’re like in a abusive relationship
Most bear fans know just has his flaws but we also know that Luke getsy is the number one problem with the offense don’t get me wrong there are some super Justin fields Stan’s but most of those people are Ohio state fans not bear fans you see on line like twitter

Yeah they need to reset the clock on the QB. Fields has shown sparks but not enough where you can just pass on one of these guys coming out.
