The Browns are definitely beating the Steelers because the Steelers are the 2nd prime example of hubris with the DNC being the prime prime example

I found an article written before Sunday's games on how the Browns could win the AFCN: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/heres-how-the-0-10-browns-can-win-the-afc-north-and-make-the-playoffs/ Since the Steelers lost against the Cowboys, it's still possible.

I'm not even sure if Hue is a good coach or not. Benching Kessler for McCown was such a bonehead desperate move.

WEEK 10 UPDATE Eliminated from the 0-16 Race NONE Week 10 0-16 Chase Commentary Browns schedule 5 October 9 1:00 p.m. New England Patriots  6 October 16 1:00 p.m. at Tennessee Titans 7 October 23 1:00 p.m. at Cincinnati Bengals 8 October 30 1:00 p.m. New York Jets 9 November 6 1:00 p.m. Dallas Cowboys 10 November 10 8:25 p.m. at Baltimore Ravens 11 November 20 1:00 p.m. Pittsburgh Steelers 12 November 27 1:00 p.m. New York Giants 13 Bye 14 December 11 1:00 p.m. Cincinnati Bengals 15 December 18 1:00 p.m. at Buffalo Bills 16 December 24 1:00 p.m. San Diego Chargers 17 January 1 1:00 p.m. at Pittsburgh Steelers Okay. The Browns now have 6 games to go. Let's take a deeper look at each of their opponents. Week 11 - Pittsburgh Steelers Current Record: 4-5 (2nd, AFC North) Last 5: 1-4 After riding high to start the season the Steelers look to be sputtering a bit, stringing together 4 losses in a row. However, they played the NFL-leading Cowboys down to the wire so I think their talent is beyond what their recent record has shown. They should be the favorites by a wide margin. Likelihood of Loss: Very High Week 12 - New York Giants Current Record: 6-3 (2nd, NFC East) Last 5: 4-1 2 games back from the division-leading Cowboys, the Giants need this win very badly as all their NFC East rivals have also beaten the Browns. The Giants defense is finally starting to gel and Eli has found some of that old magic. Still, the Giants have been known to drop very winnable games in November/December, so it's worth keeping an eye on. Likelihood of Loss: High Week 14 - Cincinnati Bengals Current Record: 3-5-1 (3rd, AFC North) Last 5: 1-3-1 Forget what I said about the Giants. For the Bengals this is an absolute must-win game. They are a game and a half back from the Ravens and a season that everyone was initially proclaiming as finally the one where Andy Dalton wins a playoff game is looking more and more like a season where the Bengals fail to make the playoffs. However, in these teams' first meeting back in September the Bengals needed a lot of luck to get past the Browns. I rate this the most likely game the Browns win. Likelihood of Loss: Moderate Week 15 - @Buffalo Bills Current Record: 4-5 (3rd, AFC East) Last 5: 2-3 The Bills confuse the hell out of me. They beat down the Patriots and then struggle against the Dolphins. Right now they're riding a 3 game losing streak. Historically, Browns/Bills games have been some absolutely horrifying affairs, but with only 3 weeks of the season left when this one rolls around I think people will be curious to watch and see if the Browns really manage perfection. Likelihood of Loss: High Week 16 - San Diego Chargers Current Record: 4-6 (4th, AFC North) Last 5: 3-2 The Chargers this offseason looked like they'd be a shambling zombie corpse, but have looked pretty good at times. And at other times they've blown multiple score leads or thrown back-to-back picks to lose games. I don't know which Chargers team shows up, but given that the rest of the AFC West currently has 7 wins, the Chargers could only be playing for pride at this point. I rank this the second most likely win for the Browns. Likelihood of Loss: Moderate Week 17 - @Pittsburgh Steelers Current Record: 4-5 (2nd, AFC North) Last 5: 1-4 The commentary from above should still apply somewhat here, and this will be amplified by Pittsburgh's likely need for a win here to claim either the divisional crown or a wild card spot. However, as this is the last game of the year I give the Browns a little more credit. Likelihood of Loss: High Upcoming Games: Steelers @ Browns

Joey Freshwater posted:Anyone posted this yet? Each and every player on the Browns would be a starter or in discussions to be the starter if they were at Alabama. The Browns special teamers would crush Alabama special teamers, and the Browns could clown on them at will. There are 52 players that played at Alabama currently on NFL rosters. The differences between the teams would become much more apparent the further down in the depth chart you get. You'd basically have Joe Haden and other CBs do man coverage against all of the Alabama wide receivers and stack the box. Alabama can't kick a field goal past 40 yards. Alabama wouldn't score.

My point being it would be Browns 49 - Alabama 0. It's almost impossible to handicap a team with such a huge gulf in talent. 27 points aint enough.

I would still love to see Alabama play the Browns. Like, I realize despite being the worst team in the NFL, they'd probably clown Alabama. But I do feel there's a part of me that thinks Alabama could keep up.

I don't know who wins head-to-head but a roster breakdown and comparison might be interesting. I don't know anything about this season's Browns but that 08 Lions squad was definitely less than the sum of its parts, even if you give equal weight to Calvin being there ( ). They went 7-9 the previous year with largely the same group!

Now I can look back and say that's a laughable overreaction, and a team should be strong enough to handle a bad call and still win. But there were some close loses that could have gone the other way.

I've run it a few times on WhatIfSports (using Reliant Stadium (they don't call it NRG for some reason) as the site, because of course this game should take place at the Super Bowl venue) and the 2016 Browns always seem to win big.

And that's why I argued earlier in this thread that going 0-16 takes a not-insignificant amount of (bad) luck. You could say that this is manifesting itself in the number of QB injuries that Cleveland has strung together this year.
