Icecube Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Kind of surprising. I guess Indy has a better D than Dallas. But Browns are at home. I would favor Cleveland on this one. Browns already proved they can get it done sans Chubb, or at least vs Dallas any how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hx214 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Well.... if they don’t trade for a starting linebacker and someone wakes up at safety.... id have a tough time favoring them in any matchup. This offense better be prepared to put up 35+ a game to win if they leave it as is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SdBacker80 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 This is a bad matchup for the Browns. Philip Rivers is the ultimate dink and dunker and then he throws that shot put looking touch pass (Reminiscent of Bernie) in stride to WRs. He can carve this secondary up with a controlled passing attack and just keep chains moving and keep us off the field. We need to tighten coverage And make him go downfield where Father Time is catching up a bit there. On the other side I’ve watched maybe 5 quarters of four games- their Defense is playing extremely well right now. Leonard might be banged up though. You can make the argument we will be the best offense they’ve faced. But they will be physical with our Oline and I expect lots of guys shooting gaps and trying to disrupt the zone. This is a Baker OBJ Landry game with a sprinkle of Hunt in the screen game. Anyone remember the scrimmages last year with the Colts? Things got pretty chippy between the teams. This game should be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickers Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 I would go up tempo on offense against their defense... And if wre lucky and we should get up on them... for goodness sake don't take our foot off the gas... Keep that pressure on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LBs generally are very green and the secondary is perpetually an injury mess. The upside is that this schedule, that looked kind of tough I suppose going into the season, now looks weak beyond a handful of games.

Nero Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 I think we have a good efficient offense that runs great and can make big plays (OBJ, Landry) but our Defense is average at best, so Indy has a more round team. Maybe if Rivers goes batshit crazy and gives us some INTs we get this game, but I like Reich as a coach and I think they're a serious team, so I'm expecting a tough game that won't be decided till the 4th quarter. Time of possession will be key, and if we can get it either by screens, short yardage passes or runs (I believe we have the players to get that), then we have a good chance.

jiggins7919 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 This game is impossible for me to predict. We're really banged up at key positions and Rivers has been known to absolutely embarrass bad secondaries. Indy's defense is also no joke and we're going in without Chubb and possibly Hunt. Yikes.

nickers Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 I actually like the Browns in this matchup... However.. I would give the Colts the edge in coaching... And QB.. But I think when it comes t over all impactful talent.. Id give the edge overall to Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiamat63 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Indy receivers don't scare me. But their duo of Doyle and Cox matched up against our backers and safeties.... ? Is a concern. And until further notice, they still have the best Oline in the NFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runyon27 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 The Colts are a solid team on both sides of the ball. Definitely the best team we played since week 1. I still don't have a lot of confidence in the Browns defense but I think they have slowly gotten better each week. Even giving up 38 last week, they did a lot of that playing soft and rushing 4 and dropped about 4 picks in the process. So slowly better but still lots of work to do. If the Browns can win this Sunday I think it dramatically changes the expectations for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
