Browns are set for a huge step back this year. Negative point differential against a last place schedule put them in the playoffs last year. I can easily see a 8-9 win year for them. The overhype train is strong. [Reply]

Radio talk guys have them winning the Super Bowl-lol
Brown's back up players talking about getting revenge against us.
They are not coming into Arrowhead and winning as long as Mahomes is QB.
The crowd is going to be rabid-I can't wait! [Reply]
The Browns are a legit playoff team in 2021. But their defense has too many holes still for them to challenge a healthy Chiefs team. I fully believe that the Browns will probably win their division, but they're going to fall flat vs. the Chiefs in Week 1. [Reply]
It would be dissapointing not to score at least 35 on them. Baker is a below average hack who will flush away under pressure faster than Lamar Jackson's colon. A team goes as far as their QB takes them. Regardless, the best QB in that division is still Big Rape. That makes the Squealers as favorite to win that division. Brownies and Ratbirds should be breezy wins. [Reply]
Browns apparently think putting Clowney inside on pass downs is the ticket...going so far to say "we like that matchup, guards aren't athletes." [Reply]
I think we should make sure Thuney and Smith get their own personal copies of that quote. I bet Smith puts him on his ass more than once if Clowney even gets close to him. [Reply]
The Browns have made some nice moves. They have a lot of new faces on D and it’s surprising (though predictable) that there isn’t more talk about it taking some time for all those pieces to gel.
Getting Odell Beckham back looks great on paper, but that offense was a lot more effective without him last year.
Unless Myles Garrett goes off and has one of those unblockable games, I don’t see a way the Browns consistently slow the revamped Chiefs offense. I’m interested to see where the Browns line him up - right side or left side. Clowney has usually lined up on the left side of the D.
And yeah, people are sleeping on the Chiefs defense. The front is going to be nasty, spotlighted by Chris Jones, the LB group is faster and more athletic, and the secondary will again be an underrated strength.
In the end, I see KC winning something like 38-24 in a game that isn’t actually that close (something like 35-14 entering the 3rd Q). [Reply]
Have to admit I’m not as optimistic as most on this one. The Brown’s have a solid offensive line and two tough running backs. If they utilized their TE’s more I would be more concerned, but the running game is a key for Cleveland obviously.
I have really been impressed with our offensive line so far, but it is just been preseason. We seem to have the hardest time against teams that can effectively rush just 4 guys and get pressure. A major key to the game will be Smith and Niang on their first real test, and the Browns have a solid front four.
I think this will be a dog fight. I think we win, but I think it will be close and not a high scoring game. Maybe 24-17 or so. [Reply]

I know Mayfield is a guy CP loves to hate, but he's far from a below average hack. Raperberger is not anywhere near the best QB in that division; he may be the worst. It's not 2010 anymore.
I don't think the Browns have enough juice to beat KC, but both teams have a lot of new faces and we'll see. [Reply]
