PlayoffsPlease Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Every week there are numerous posts about how each game is not very important because it is only one of sixteen games. These posters don’t really grasp the concept. Every loss is a nail in the coffin. Realistically a team only can afford six losses. If the Browns lose tonight nine of the sixteen afc teams will be halfway or more to elimination .

SF Bills Fan Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 We should always root for an NFC team over and AFC team in a game like this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to know if the Browns will be in contention for a playoff spot yet. They've been pretty mediocre.
