Week 8:Cleveland Browns(2-4-1)

Teegre, I agree with all of this, but their offense is not legit. Their only realistic path to victory is through turnovers. We have the ability to minimize that risk.

We have helped a few illegit QB's look like the second coming of Tom Brady over the years.

True, true, and true.

Their offense is pretty bad. Their defense is keeping these games close/they are basically only scoring due to field position created by turnovers. And, the sloppy/WTF type of interceptions that Ben gave them in the last game can indeed be minimized.

But...

A good percentage of those turnovers are due to the Browns having a playmaking defense. Myles Garrett is causing a good number of errant throws, which that athletic secondary (specifically Denzel Ward) is adept at intercepting.

SUMMATION:
The Browns offense is Browning it up. But, that Browns defense is as good as advertised. Ergo, if one plays “mistake-free” football, the Browns offense simply cannot keep pace.

Roethlisberger had said before the first game against the Browns that the Browns probably have the best defense the steelers have in their schedule this year.Maybe the ravens have something to say about that, but Roethlisberger is not wrong

The Browns defense have been very often on the field this year because of their offense and also the long overtime they have played, but they have created 20 turnovers in 7 games right now and even though we are removing turnovers in week 1 ,it's 13 in 6 games, which is still very good.

If the steelers limit turnovers and they contain Myles Garrett, the steelers should win easily .... if that's not the case, the Browns have a chance to win ....

The last two games in defenses, we can hope that it is a thing of the past for the moment!

We will see.

true, we also probably single handedly got Blake Bortles a huge contract. The guy looks like pro bowler against Steelers and Blake Bortles against everyone else.
Steelers win big 34-17.

Todd Haley isn’t terrible.

Some of which wore Brown Orange.

[86WARD]

Gilbert is out for Sunday and Feiler will replace him.

Burnett supposedly will play and start.

[pczach]

Yep. They have acquired some real talent in the last few years.

[teegre]

I had mentioned something to that effect after week 5, when they’d won 4 of 5.

I expect a closer game than I prefer, but I'm also feeling low turnovers, and ultimately, a win. Just not a three TD win. The Browns might have more mettle than the Bengals -- I don't expect self inflicted implosion here, more of a going down swinging type game.
