I also think the BROWNS have everyone a bit off because they're 2-2-1 and actually a possible 4-1 or 5-0 so what now if they win here are they a top 10 NFL team? And do you think the HBO series Hard Knocks kind of help this youngest team in the NFL mature sooner than anyone expected? And yes we all know here that the BROWNS could and should have beat the steelrz in game 1. GO BROWNS, big week beat the bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one admit I didn't think they had a snowball's chance in he11 of competing until 2019, gunshy from 1-31 I guess. But they do have a challenging schedule left, 6+ wins total would still be OVER the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chargers' toughest remaining game will be in Week 13 at the Steelers, where FPI gives Los Angeles a 35 percent chance to win.

Mark O Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I'd love to see an easy victory and a nice relaxing 4th quarter but the Chargers are good and are always going to be tough to beat as long as 17 in playing QB.

You're projecting playoffs based on current record. A lot of the power rankings are projecting what they think a team will do in the future. Like the Titans are less likely to make the playoffs than the Jaguars. Hey the Browns have the same record as the Vikings, we're obviously just as "powerful".

Browns 42 Chargers 13 B L O W O U T 3 -2 -1 LOL, now I have to give you some grief- how about your Super Stud Saquon helping the Giants to a stellar 1-5 record? You were a little late to the Baker party. It's not just about scoring points, it's also about preventing the other team from scoring points- and Denzel Ward stopped at least 6, and possibly 9 bu the Ravens with that interception and blocked field goal. Yeah, I watched most of the Eagles- Giants game, and here's my impression. They showed a clip of Barkley comparing him to Barry Sanders. OK, he's good, maybe very good, his 230 or so combined yards resulted in another loss. So question- riddle me this- how many Super Bowls was Barry a part of? Answer- none. Here's the G-Men's problems as I see them. They have no defense- Wentz took them apart- think the other Chubb or Ward would have helped out there? And as I opined before the draft Eli is as washed up as a beached whale, even worse than your whipping boy Brady. If it was Gettleman's idea (their GM's) one last hurrah with Eli, Saquon, and Beckham it officially blew up last night. OTOH, if his idea was to pull a Browns and go 3-13 or worse to snag Eli's replacement at the top of the 2019 draft- just might be perverted genius, but we'll see if those impatient New York fans won't want to run him out of town before April next year rolls around. Them Giants fans just might be wishing they had drafted Darnold and not Saquon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
