Dawgs By Nature
During the season, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics.
The Browns are coming off a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets, which saw fan confidence drop by 8 percentage points up to 10%. It just barely missed getting back to single digits, although it’s still nothing to celebrate. As long as Dillon Gabriel is the quarterback, fans won’t have much to get excited about or look forward to. That’s not to say that Shedeur Sanders will do any better, but at least it brings eyeballs back to the product out of curiosity on how he would perform. The Baltimore Ravens have 75% confidence in the direction of their team from their fanbase, after winning three straight games.
We asked two other questions to fans this week, the first of which asked what fans thought of Tommy Rees’ playcalling last week. 18% of fans thought he did a solid job, while 57% thought the playcalling was a marginal improvement over Kevin Stefanski. Altogether, that means 75% of fans saw his debut as an upgrade. However, we only have a one game sample size, and it came against a bad Jets defense that just traded away its top two defensive players. The Ravens are clicking defensively, so we’ll see if those same playcalls work against Baltimore, or if the offense is right back to being stuck in mud.
Our other question asked who fans expect to win this weekend’s Browns vs. Ravens game. Despite it being a home game, only 7% of Browns fans think Cleveland will get the win, while 93% see the Ravens coming out on top.
