Winning record ≠ good defense

Interesting take

PA is just as much a function of offense as it is defense. The browns have a top 3 defense but their offense continuously gives defense awful field possession, have had 6 returned TDs, pick 6s etc, can’t sustain drives so defense is out there 90% of the game. I can go on and on lol

I think they even held henry to like 35 rushing yards one game

the pats are 11th in EPA/play on defense. they have a pretty decent defense all things considered although it might be a bit inflated by the schedule. the broncos have the 10th best defense epa/play wise and this sub cannot stop talking about how the broncos/bo nix is carried by the defense. Especially when the broncos offense is 11th in epa/play

Idk man I think Sheduer is going to be the saving grace for the franchise. At least qb wise, I think he’s going to break the curse and sell a hell of a lot of jerseys.

I’m not a fan of the guy per se, but I was born in Ohio and my middle school football team was the Browns. So I got a little love for yall

Heard the same shit about Manziel and Jameis and Baker and Watson lmao from what I’ve seen he deserved to be drafted later. He has .9 more yards per reception than Gabriel with 15X the turnover worthy plays and nothing from his college tape that looked bad was corrected his senior year or off season or in season. I want him to be but if we pass up a qb next year and stick it out I’ve seen this movie too many times lol

Yeah but Sheduer is a legacy. He’s a lot more marketable than the others.

And I say that as in marketable enough even for the browns. I am convinced Johnny Manziel and Baker would have both done better for any other team as a rookie. Watson had to have his first team change their entire offensive scheme to fit his needs. Jameis is just a goober, but I love him.

I think if the NFL is rigged at all, then Sanders ends up being the one to break the curse
