Chargers open as a 1.5 point favorite over the Browns

The Browns are playing tough this year. The team better take this game seriously.

I think they will. Point spread down to 1. If we play smart and don't come out with one of our heads are in a funk game, we should win as we are the better team. But we know how that goes...

Mayfield is one of those mobile QBs that always seem to make our defense shit the bed. This game is one that I'm really sad about us missing Bosa for. Hyde is no slouch either.

Browns have been riding emotional highs/lows, OT with and are due a fuck-off-effort game.
I can see mayfield making plays early but getting flustered after a sack or pick.
james rebounds on the stat sheet
rivers is being extra careful with the ball
I see a low scoring W for the bolts

I live near Cleveburg. The Browns are a very competitive team. There is a lot of talent on that defense and Williams is a good DC and they have a pass rush far better than Oakland. Mayfield gives them legitimate QB play now. Higgins is a key WR for them and he is out now with a knee. Landry is a good WR. They have two talented backs but a suspect OL and special teams. Hue Jackson has proven to be a substandard HC. Chargers are traveling cross country, just won a big game for them (Raiders is always big), and are banged up on the OL. This will be a close game hopefully not determined by our kicker who will remain nameless. Is there a thread on him?

White will be missed.

Lots of players. Good to see both Okung and Barks getting limited work. Hope nothing serious with Jatavis as I think Kyzir misses this and the Tenn/London game. Kyzir and Joey week 9. Look out for us in November and beyond.

Sturgis with a bad quad? Not good.

This is an intresting game, and we should win. I kind of see comparissons in Mayfield as up and coming QB like Mahones, but Mahones has better skilled positions with Hunt, Hill, & Kelece versus the -Browns Hyde, Landry, Njoku.

Mayfield is less of a threat to run and more of a risky with the ball 3 INT, and 3 fumbles in 2 starts and playing half game against the Jets. Hopefuly we can add to his turnover total. They only have one deep threat in Calloway (rookie) but he has had some big time drops (29 targets only 13 receptions). We need to contain them running the ball they are second in the league in rushing.

The Browns on defense have a good front 7, but teams have moved the ball on them they are 27th ranked their best player in the defensive backfield is a rookie CB Denzel Ward who has been good and is super quick (3 INT), but the rest of the secondary is suspect and I think one of our recievers are going to have a big game if they key on Allen so one of the Williams(Mike or Tyrell) should have a big game, and I have a feeling despite being underwhelming this season Tyrell may have a break out game.

The Browns special teams are worse than ours,they already cut their kicker after week 2.

Bottom line the Browns are good, but they have short-comings and Hue Jackson doesn't seem like head coach material, but the only way we lose this is a game is if we come out flat and turn-over the ball.
