    Win for the playoffs.

    Edit - Game moved to SATURDAY NIGHT! 7:15 PM. Snow forecast at game time with temps near freezing.

    But you have to give them credit. It's retractable unlike other northern stadiums.

    O’Connell threw for 300 on colts today. That’s equivalent to about 415 from CJ

    We need this win. We need our defense to do what they did today against the Titans. We can do this!

    Minschew (14 TD / 9 INT) averages 210 yards per game.

    Stroud (21 TD / 5 INT) averages 274 yards per game, but In the 2 games without Tank he's only averaging 152 yards per game.

    It's really going to hurt if Brown and Woods are out next week too. On the plus side, we had 3 different tight ends catching passes today. I'm hoping we can make things work with shorter passes and targeting who we've got to work with. Stroud has the edge on the turnover battle. If we use two TE on plays like we did today, then that's one way to make some nice plays with less receivers.

    It's good that Singletary is getting most of the runs now. He averaged 5 yards per carry again today, and has been doing really well the past 8 games. I hope he does it again next week. Having our running game move the sticks is so much better than before. One thing I don't want to see next week is Pierce getting 8 or more carries again. He averaged 2 YDS per carry again today. On the bright side, Pierce and Singletary do not turn over the ball.

    We need to just play smart ball, and not make stupid penalties. We can't afford to be pushed backwards because someone keeps jumping offsides or gets caught holding. We can't afford to give them first downs or extra yards because our defenders grab hold of their receivers, grab someone by the face mask, or commit dirty hits. Today we really cleaned up the penalties that have haunted us in the past. Let's do that again.

    Beat the Colts and if Buffalo beats Miami, Cleveland gets the 2nd seed.

    Cleveland vs Texans rematch.
    Just getting to week 18 has felt like the playoffs. love it.

    No ****. OP can go ahead make this one the official one. Never knew why moderator had such a hard on for creating the "official" one a day or two before the game?

    As a wild card team, highest seed possible for the Browns is #5.

    Cleveland is locked into the 5-seed. Now there could be a Houston-Cleveland rematch if Houston wins the division which would require a Jaguars loss at Tennessee and a Houston road win at Indy. A more likely scenario though is facing the Buffalo-Miami winner on the road
