Browns defense numbers look pretty good. I still say let the Packers TE Finley and Bostick work at WR some... especially since the main reason Bostick seems to not get on the field is because of his lack of blocking skills and WR don't need to be as good of blockers as TEs do.

Also something I think is note worthy.

3 of the 4 Browns CBs are listed under 5'10"
3 of the 4 Browns S are listed under 6'

Boykins 6' 2"
Nelson 6' 3"
Bostick 6' 3"
Finley 6' 5"

Might be able to throw some jump balls. Also just thought of this, I'm sure the Packers want to stick with their run game but those 4 spread out with Lacy back there would be interesting combo.

Or take one off and put Quarless in as a blocker.

Well if we make the Browns one dimensional this could be fun. We need to get pressure though.

At least we don't have to worry about Trent Richardson.

My only worry is covering TE Cameron over the middle, that guy can play football.

I dont know much about the browns these days - used to be a easy win ...

I agree with beast - be interesting if we can use your TEs more as WRs ... why not. Hope jones and #18 have a quick recovery.

Funny our D is only rated what #16; what I have seen this year is our D is the one saving our bacon in all these games (or attempting too) - Now not perfect; dont get me wrong (our corners and especially our safetys really need to watch some film) (I Still dont know why we got rid of woodson; at least he watched film and studied these QBs and maybe that would rub off on some of these younger guys).

... I digress ...

like to see bostick out there; he looked ' decent' in preaseason.

The D has held up. Unlike the O, they are not stat whores.

Alot of the stats against the D came in garbage time.

Packers' injuries so bad, game-day roster may come up short. Crazy.

Yeah it has been a huge shock to the team. It is really going to be a team by committee for a while.

No Problem - an easy win at home. The Packers offense comes to life similar to the Redskins game, even against a better defense - Rodgers has some new toys to play with. The young LBs do the job.

Packers 45 Browns 17

Hoping for Aaron to get the team to overcome the injury bug that has landed on them. Better teams have lost to weaker teams when they have so many players out.

Seeing what Fauria did against the Browns defense last week, I would love to see a monster game from Finley. Dreaming I know.

I'll say it again,

The Browns Defense will be the best defense The Packers have faced this year.

Anybody thinking this is going to be an easy win, is probably going to be dissapointed.

The Packers need to pressure Weeden into mistakes, like he always seems to do.

Shut down the run and make them one-dimensional.

That's the key to beating The Browns.

I hope Special teams have taken notice of The Browns returner, he is well above average.

Advice....DO NOT KCIK THE BALL TO HIM!!!!!

THIS COULD TURN INTO ONE OF THOSE UGLY GAMES THAT COULD TURN ON A PUNT OR KO RETURN.

Packers 23 - Browns 9

Regarding the theme of red zone efficiency. Now is as good a chance to change that up a bit. Last 3 weeks Browns are giving up a TD 71% of opponent red zone trips.

The Packers offense has operated pretty much as you wanted the last few weeks.

AND STILL YOU THROW OUT YOUR STUPID ASS SAYINGS!!!!

I'm gonna tell you right now, The Packers easiest road to success this weekend is to come out throwing the ball all over the park and jumping on a Browns team who will fold up and go quietly away if they find themselves down 14-21 points on the road.

You want to call it stat-whoring fine, just shows you 'rea 2 trick pony.

All you ever comment about is stat-whoring and T.O.P.

Neither that is true(stat whoring) or very relevant(T.O.P) to a Packer win from week to week.

2 rookie OLBr's, 1 Rookie (OT), 1 rookie DB all starting this week, add in 1 Rookie DE in the rotation and 9 other rookies who will play a big part on Special teams and filling in at times,

you get to use your FAVORITE TERM OF ALL TIME!!!!

How Many Times nerdman will you post it??????

[laughing] [laughing] [laughing] [laughing]

I guess I am inoculated to nerdmann. I never even notice it anymore. I still comment on it plenty because he is lurking somewhere around the board.

The offense has been operating pretty much as I wanted?

I think Tex is right. It's time for an easy win.

42-21.

Game essentially over before the fourth quarter. Prevent defense allows Cleveland to put up lots of yards and 2 touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Lacy for 150+ on 26 carries.
Rodgers hyper-efficient, 18-22 and 3 TDs.

It should be an "easy" win but that depends on the defense not falling apart against one of the worst QBs in the league. The Browns defense is pretty stout so I don't expect a really high score but the game shouldn't be in doubt. Weeden is terrible.

Be nice to help out the defense, by keeping them off the field.
