Hodge? Dude had 2 big catches near the goal lines to give them first and goal within the 5 on 2 of their TDs.

I acknowledge what you are saying but you also have to realize Baker Dozen isn't going to get the amount of time he got use to having in this last game. He will have Cam, a beast in himself and all world DPOY Mr.WATT to deal with NOW. Combine those two with Tuitt and Alalua and finally we have our front four for them to face with them losing an OL to boot.


I'm not predicting a walk over because that is why they play the game but I see a 12 + point win here.





Salute the nation

Sorry this offensive coaching staff will find a way to **** it up no question. Jesus the Ravens were almost down to putting the Raven Mascot in there. I take nothing for granted. They will play it safe on defense and the usual bullshit on offense. Not even a doubt in my mind.
 
If they lose Chubbs and Hunt also,,,,then I will make plans for round two...

Hell--they can keep Mayfield in there...but without those two studs on offense their done....
 
If Baker ends up testing positive along with several others the next 4 days or so.. I can see them moving all the games to the following weekend. The SB can be moved several weeks down the calendar if need be.

trot out their practice squad players. If NO can play w/o their RBs, half of the 9ers out and were forced to play, along with the Ravens, they have extended rosters for this case. The Steelers have been inconvienced enough this year. Line-up and play!

Also have a young kid who dominated opposite Watt coming back to eat again. Highsmith put it on them good
 
Just saw that Stefanski calls all the plays for Cleveland. That actually works to our disadvantage, as it introduces an element of surprise for them.

Won't happen. They can not postpone a game for players to get healthy and back. They will have to play with who they have.
 
They're playing this game no matter what. No moving this **** unless there is a full scale outbreak among both teams. They made the saints play with no RBs sunday
 
I love twitter, LOL, Browns fans bitching that Tomlin hasn't tested positive or being held out because of close contact, and the Steelers Dline. hahaha

I seen them.....how stupid can they be? By their thought process, the entire browns team had close contact and should not play...

Explain. You have a person with totally different tendencies calling the plays.

You have a person that they do not want calling the plays. He will likely follow the script the HC gives him on zoom meetings. Wildcard, Maybe? Advantage Browns? Doubt it.

Any type of change at this time of the season is not good...especially as it relates to players comfortability with play calls coming in from the sideline..
 
Definitely not an advantage for the Browns. Maybe a couple surprises but it is a decided disadvantage to lose your playcaller. A surprise here and there is not a sustainable strategy for an entire game. If switching play callers for a playoff game was an advantage, wouldn’t everyone do it?

This is exactly what I thought would happen, they did NOT have that **** under control in Cleveland. It wouldn’t surprise me to see a few cases on the Steelers because of the contact with the Browns players/stadium

Eh, Denver had to play with a WR under center. Agree, this will be an interesting week.

and BAL got to kick the can down the road several times. Once due to threat of "Wildcat Player Strike". The Rog is all over the board and no telling what the ****** will do. That said, it is the playoffs so I think they will play come hell or high water. Moving it monkeys up the entire playoff schedule. I do wonder, however, if the Clowns will get fined for this.
 
The NFL is going to do anything they can to not move the game based on what they’ve shown so far.

There's not a game changing surprise coming. They have to still call the plays practiced and NO new OC is going to be able to instill enough of a surprise to change outcome. YES, maybe a play or two but this late in the season......... not happening. Plus his newity to calling plays NFL style will be a hindrance not a plus factor in the overall scheme.

"newity" lmao

DIC, you kill me with your vernacular
 
They wont move the game. Cleveland isn’t a market that they obsess over. If this was Baltimore or Washington, new york, Boston, Chicago, La, Dallas, Atlanta or another of tge leagues huge combined markets or favorites they’d care perhaps, but we are both middling tv markets with fanbases that watch regardless of what the nfl does.

They have one single off week scheduled the week before the super bowl and they aren’t going to blow that contingency on us... let Brady or Mahomes get it and they will push games back... Browns outbreaks that potentially derail our postseason as well? Yeah they dont give a ****...
 
As for the advantages... the Coaches can still watch remotely and call in with observations... not to the sideline, but they can still contact the team

I ALWAYS get nervous when a player or coach is out... as was said previously, you just don’t know what tge backup is going to do... Ive seen way too many future stars sit on a bench because of lack of opportunities or coaching biases... so maybe the guy behind joey porter is james Harrison... or its ben behind maddox... maybe that third string nobody is willie parker or Antonio Brown ... it doesn’t happen often, but it happens....
