NCP: Browns Need to Strut into Heinz Field Chris Jericho Style.


Follow on twitter @northcoastposse

Two weeks ago in honor of WWE coming to Fox, Miles Garrett and the Browns made a full heel turn against the Steelers. Should we go face this Sunday in Pittsburgh or just hire Paul Heyman to manage the team and give them a Brock Lesnar type beating?

Big$: I'm an AEW guy, so I suggest strutting into Heinz field, chests out Chris Jericho style. The team is on a hot streak and needs to start acting like winners and ditch the victim mentality.

Seriously, would you wear Browns colors in the stands this weekend?

Big $: By and large, NFL stadiums are packed with people drinking to forget they have to be at work in 12 or 13 hours. Common sense is not something you're going to find in abundance. If you really feel the need to show your colors on enemy soil, you should probably be ready to throw some hands.

Is this the biggest Browns game in the past 20 years and how do you see it playing out?

Big $: This team needs to win out for the post season, so every game carries more weight than the past 10-15 Decembers. With that said, they are facing a Duck Hodges led team that they already dominated 2 weeks ago, I foresee a similar outcome to the Starrcade '86 esque game in Cleveland. Browns 24 Steelers 10

Browns finally got a home win versus the Bills. Did you see any signs of improvement? What is still concerning?

In a vacuum where progressive commercials and SI covers do not exist, I would say a simple eye test points to improvement from 2018-2019. Last year in Oct/Nov, teams like the Chargers, Chiefs , Steelers, and Texans were flat out curb stomping Baker and the Browns. The Browns have clearly been more competitive this year against winning teams (even if the score doesn't always reflect it.. With that said....

What is concerning is that these "moral victories" could of been actual wins if the coaching and strategy matched the jump in roster talent. Freddie continues to coach on the fly, both in terms of weekly prep and in game situations. If he doesn't commit to a heavy run first philosophy against Pittsburgh, it will be abundantly clear that his naivety + stubborn nature make him an awful fit for NFL head coach.

It’s a short week coming into a “rivalry” game with the Steelers Thursday. Is this an advantage to either team and how important is it that the Browns win this game against a Steeler team with no Big Ben, AB or Levon Bell?


Piggybacking on the last answer, having less time for Fred to install nonsense is a complete advantage to the Browns. Here is to hoping that the super short week neuters his ego so that he will be forced to rely on the teams strengths and talents (ie run first, down hill football)

If you’d like to add my prediction, I’m staying positive and hoping the Browns ride the victory wave. The CH-unt combo pays big dividends: Browns 28 Steelers 14

My son Owen and I went to the Seattle game two weeks ago. The good: It was a highly entertaining game with lots of drama. The bad: The Browns lost a winnable game.

So Question #1: What are your good and bad takeaways from that game?

Big $: The Seahawks game was incredibly disappointing, however when you rewind the clock to 2018, and examine how the Browns faired against quality opponents there is some room for optimism. The Browns were completely overmatched by the Chiefs,Chargers, Texans and Steelers last year. All things considered, they should of beat Seattle, who are a definitive playoff team. Therefore, I’m holding onto a kernel of hope that things are on an upswing.

Final question: What should we expect good and bad vs the Pats this Sunday?

Big $: As a native Clevelander and long time Browns fan, I’m a glutton for punishment. Therefore, I’m going out on a serious limb and risking devastating disappointment by expecting a Browns win. Baker ain’t afraid of no ghosts : Browns 31 Pats 20
