Here is the potential problem. If we go to Cleveland and go through the motions we can definitely lose this game. AND....it is possible that the next game in Dallas is a loss....Possible. Dallas will be up to play their best game.
So, if the Pack doesn't take care of business this Sun. we could potentially be looking at 2-2. Just what the Lions would love to see. If you are a very good team....you have to play with much aggression and take no prisoners!
Let the Browns know from the get go that they have no shot!!!!

Get Jacobs the ball out in the flat. Would like to see JJ get about 6 or 7 passes in the flat. Have Love get the ball out of his hands quickly....Lets GO!!!!!

I'm pretty sure Micah will be geeked up to play his ex-team.
As for CLE, I agree -- they have real NFL players on their roster, and I hear any team can win on any given Sunday. With all the early season flowers GB has gotten lately, it could be very easy for GB to have a letdown game, just as its likely teams are going to look at them as a SB caliber team and give them their best shot every week. They have to bring your A game every game.

I think the defenses are both very good, but GB's offense is better and I don't know if you can trust Flacco. He's thrown 3 picks already and his ANY/A is half of Jordan Love's. The first team to 20 wins this game. Hint: it should be the Packers.

Through two games, the Browns have run Cover 1 46% of the time. Romeo, Golden, Wicks etc gonna have some opportunities on the perimeter if that keeps up on Sunday.

Based on how the Browns have been getting pressure and limiting yards, I expect this to be tighter than 8.5 or 9, but I'll be happy to be wrong.

Does the injury designation for Reed mean he's not on IR? That's interesting.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

If the Packers do not win by 14 its a bad day. If the Browns score more than 10, its a bad day.

I’ve stopped betting on the point spread ever since the Queens fucked my 8-teams parlay a couple of years ago.

Just win, baby!

Not yet. The Packers roster isn't at 53 even with Reed still on it. No urgency in signing anyone. They are probably waiting on their IR returns instead of signing someone only to cut them after two weeks of being inactive.

Big game from Wicks. You heard it here first....unless you already heard it somewhere.

The Northern Flickers in my trees were calling "Wick Wick Wick" this past week . . . so you're second on the list of where I heard it first.

This looks like another game in which the Packers will have to pass to open up the run game, or go back to the origins of the west coast offense, which used short passes to running backs and tight ends as their running game.

This means the offensive line needs to pass block well, to keep Love clean. We don't want dirty Love. Not on the football field, anyway.

"Dude Wipes" sponsors the new Browns uniforms.

This has me laughing

Tucker Kraft's knee injury suffered at practice today doesn't appear to be a long-term issue, per source. He'll be added to the injury report.
