And the best part is, we know Kevin Stefanski won’t be added to the heap tomorrow. Even better, one of Berry’s assistants is being interviews for a GM opening. Unbelievable turn around.

I TOLD YOU THE RAVENS GAME WASNT A MUST WIN!!!!!!!!! JETS GAME WASNT A MUST WIN!!

PLAYOFFS BABY!!! WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!

Are the Steelers locked into the 3 seed if they lose? I know the number of scenarios for seeding today is INSANE. With a win, depending on how other teams finish, we can be anywhere from 5th to 7th, with 7th being the most likely, and then 6th.

Btw, if you haven’t seen it, Fitzmagic is out this week with COVID, so that definitely hurts the Dolphins.

So, Harrison Bryant and Malcolm Smith are the 2 that tested positive. Bryant was in isolation, so should be no close contacts. No word on smith yet. Any close contacts identified today or after are automatically out for Sunday. As of now, the players we know we won’t have on Sunday are:

Andrew Sendejo
Harrison Bryant
Malcom Smith

Everybody e…[Read more]

One of the players was a close contact previously and was already in isolation, so they shouldn’t have any additional close contacts. I saw a tweet where the receivers are expected back, so my guess is…Harrison Bryant? Or the LB that missed besides goodson. I don’t remember if it was Takitaki or a backup.

Damn report button and my fat fingers. Whoops.

Anywho, to play devils advocate, you could have said the same thing about Carson Went the last couple years. Not saying Allen is Wentz, but to say a more physically gifted QB will always be better is ludicrous. That’s like saying Roethlisberfer will always be better than Brees. Doesn’t make any…[Read more]

Another player and a coach tested positive today. Facility is closed for tracing.

No word on who it is yet. Probably DLine coach. Or Bill Callahan. And Bakers probably the player.

I’m just assuming we’re fucked.

For context, we’re tied for 3rd in the league in rushing attempts.

Definitely was not happy seeing him abandon the run today. I’m hoping that was because we had a rookie at RG and our third string LT playing. Hopefully it’s not a trend moving forward.

I hate to be the *pushes up glasses* “well, actually…” guy, but, the Browns can still make the playoffs with a loss next week IF…

A. Colts lose to Jaguars

Or

B.all of these happen:
1. Titans lose to Packers tonight
2. Titans lose to Texans next week
3. Ravens beat Bengals next week

I don’t see either of those scenarios happening. We ne…[Read more]

That was a soft call on Mayfield, but there WAS helmet to helmet contact from the defender. But, yeah, the Refs had a bad day all around. Doesn’t change the fact that was an obvious fumble.

Refs. They took 6 away from the Browns by calling that obvious fumble and incomplete pass.

Here’s “the Tennesse thing”:

Tennessee and Indy are currently tied at 10-4, but Tennessee holds the tiebreaker over Indy, and nothing can change that in the next two weeks. If Tennessee goes 12-4, they win the division. If the Colts lose today, the Titans would only need to go 11-5 to win the division.

This all becomes relevant when you c…[Read more]

Pretty much agree with all of this. Tavierre Thomas is one that won’t jump out to most, but he’s been a really good special teamed and he’ll come cheap.

The problem with resigning any of these guys for 2021 is they’ll all have Super Bowl rings, and those will drive their prices up.

A Browns win and a Titans loss doesn’t guarantee playoffs for the Browns. Titans would need to lose this week and next week. For the Browns to get in over them at 11-5.

Our clinching scenarios are a Browns win and a Colts loss, or a Browns win and Raven or Dolphins loss or tie.

Miami has the Raiders on Saturday, that’ll be the one to wat…[Read more]

So, here is my dream scenario. I’m not actively rooting for this to happen, because if it were to play out this way (highly unlikely), the Steelers game for the Browns would be the difference between making and missing the playoffs. BUT, in a perfect world:

-Browns win out and go 12-4
-Colts win out and go 12-4
-Titans go 2-0 or 1-1, and f…[Read more]

So, you can go check the espn playoff machine if you don’t believe me. If the Browns , Titans, Colts, Ravens, and Dolphins all finish 11-5:

Titans win AFC via better division record than Colts. Colts, Browns, Ravens, and Dolphins are left for the 3 wildcard spots.

Wildcard Tiebreaker #1:
In three or more team tie, first only the best team f…[Read more]

As usual, you’re absolutely wrong. In that scenario:

The Titans win the AFC south.
The Dolphins win the 5th seed via tiebreakers
The Ravens win the 6th seed via tiebreaker with the Colts.
The Browns win the 7th seed via head to head tiebreaker over the Colts.

The only way the above keeps the Browns o it of the playoffs is if the Colts go 1…[Read more]
