The Cleveland Browns Have Been Eliminated From Playoff Contention

Hopefully this will make Clev sit Joe Haden and some hurt CBs.

We can't be mathematically eliminated if we win today.

 

If we lose and the Saints win, we are eliminated and the Saints are division champs.  Best we could finish in that case would be 6-9-1 while the worst they could finish is 7-9. 

[Davidson Deac II]

probably, but in their situation with manziel as a starter they're more likely to go for it on fourth downs and open up the playbook to see what they've got out of the guys on their roster. that could go in our favor if they fug up, but if not it could cause us problems. caged animal and all that

 

Or the could try to keep the play book simple because they have a rookie qb starting his second game and they don't want to risk damaging his confidence.

I had a dream last night that the Saints lost and we won! I hope this dream comes true cause I haven't fuged Kate Upton in real life yet...

7-7 Browns eliminated. 5-9 Falcons control own destiny, that is funny

[Goondal]

I was listening to something talking about the Dolphins are a good team to bet against because traditionally teams that are fighting for playoffs have a big letdown the week after elimination. Hopefully that works out here as well

Cleveland should just stay home then

That's actually not true, even if the falcons beat the saints and panthers, as long as the saints win week 17 against tampa, they get in over atlanta b/c they're a game up right now. 

You sure?

I guess there is a chance Johnny football comes out and lights it up after his embarrassment last week.

 

I feel like we are going to eat him alive though.

[Jangler]

pretty sure that happened in 1999. 

 

 

their record since coming back into the league, per wiki: 77–163 record through the 2013 season

[Goondal]

That's actually not true, even if the falcons beat the saints and panthers, as long as the saints win week 17 against tampa, they get in over atlanta b/c they're a game up right now. 

 

If the Falcons win out then both the Saints and Panthers have another loss.  Meaning the Falcons are 7-9 along with the Saints and we are 6-9-1.  Falcons will have the tiebreak over the Saints by virtue of the sweep.

 

Edit: Never mind, someone beat me to it

I guess there is a chance Johnny football comes out and lights it up after his embarrassment last week.

 

It is very likely.  He may even reach 100 yards
