Would hope he was a little deeper than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hope he was a little deeper than that. Maybe it's because they've had the difficult task of playing the NFC South this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Imagine how pissed we would be at the experts if we were Browns fans. They have a better record, and have beaten two legitimate teams, while we have only beaten one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 We have beaten 2 legitimate teams, Miami at home and Detroit on the road... Just speaking from the perspective of a "browns fan".... I'm personally fine with it, but I'm biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 We have beaten 2 legitimate teams, Miami at home and Detroit on the road... Yeah, lets be honestly here, the Phins are the real deal. They didn't look good when we beat them, but that was one week after they handed to the Pats. I'd imagine, as well, that Broncos fans are pretty darn relieved to leave last Sunday's game with a W. BTW, if we beat the Browns it is crazy to think that everyone of the Broncos home games so far this year have been against teams with a winning record.

bananathumb Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 This seems to be pretty optimistic on the part of "experts". I worry about the Browns. They seem to have our number every year. Pettine will be very focused for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibs Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Tougher??? The Bills have had one of the softest schedules thus far in the entire NFL You might want to start questioning the value of your source for that information. 2 ways to look at it.... Browns opponents have won 47.5 games, Bills 60 games. Browns have played 4 easybeat teams(JAX1, OAK1, TB2, TEN2), Bills have played 2 easybeat teams (NYJ2x2). Either way the Browns have had the far easier schedule so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 @BuffaloBillsPR Game predictions are starting to filter in and @PSchrags is picking #Bills fans to make the difference. Check it out: http://bufbills.co/ZdjaSd Cleveland at Buffalo: Find me a Bills or Browns fan who wouldn't have answered "Where do I sign?" if I told them back in April that the two teams would be playing in a game with huge playoff implications for both teams in Week 13. The numbers are astounding, really. Buffalo hasn't been to the playoffs since 1999, when Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie were the quarterbacks and the Music City Miracle did them in. The Browns, of course, have not won a playoff game since 1995. Both squads are in the hunt. I like the Bills, back at the Ralph, riding high on the emotion of a big win in Detroit and a home crowd that will be downright craving something to bring them out of their houses and together again. The Pick: Bills 23, Browns 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
