Dawg Pound Discourse: Should the Browns tank or compete for the rest of the year?

Dawg Pound Discourse: Should the Browns tank or compete for the rest of the year?

The path the Browns choose for the remainder of the season could have consequences and opportunities.

After falling to 1-5, the Cleveland Browns show no signs of wavering from their plans coming into the season as the team prepares to host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Kevin Stefanski reiterated on Monday that he is sticking with Deshaun Watson at quarterback believing that he gives the Browns the best chance to win football games.

Just six games in, the offense is operating at historically bad levels according to most statistical categories and advanced metrics. Nationally, the reaction on Monday had many...

Monday Night Football, Week 6: Bills vs. Jets open thread

Browns fans can also use this as an open thread.

Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season concludes tonight with Monday Night Football as the Buffalo Bills face the New York Jets. The Bills started as hot as a team could be at 3-0, but have now lost to two straight playoff contenders in the Ravens and Texans. The Jets are coming off the heels of having fired their head coach, which figures to mean that Aaron Rodgers is the ride-or-die now after a relatively mediocre start to the season.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Bills are 2.5 point favorites...

Browns offense is unwatchable

Browns offense is unwatchable

There is plenty of blame to go around in Cleveland, but it starts and ends with the play of quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Longtime fans of the Cleveland Browns have seen their share of bad offenses over the years.

But none may have been as bad or as unwatchable as we are all witnessing this season.

Consider that:

  • The Browns have not hit 20 points for six consecutive games, and are the first team to achieve that since the 2014 Jacksonville Jaguars.
  • The Browns have yet to hit 300 total yards of offense this season.
  • The offense is...

Cleveland opens as home underdogs in Week 7 Battle of Ohio against the Bengals

Cleveland opens as home underdogs in Week 7 Battle of Ohio against the Bengals

Will Nick Chubb’s return during the week move the line?

The Cleveland Browns opened as 4.5-point home underdogs against the Cincinnati Bengals ahead of their Week 7 match-up, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under on the game is currently 44.5.

The Browns (1-5) are coming off of a 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. For much of the game, both teams had moments where they shot themselves in the foot, and Cleveland’s offensive struggles continued as they didn’t even manage a single offensive touchdown. The reason the Browns stayed in the game until the fourth quarter was because DE **Myles...

2025 NFL draft: Browns position goes up after Week 6 loss to Eagles

2025 NFL draft: Browns position goes up after Week 6 loss to Eagles

NFL draft stock watch is what Browns fans are mostly left with

The last time the Cleveland Browns had the top overall pick in the NFL draft, QB Baker Mayfield was the somewhat surprise selection. Mayfield helped Cleveland fans unlock the beer fridges and helped the Browns return to the playoffs a few years later.

The 2024 season is trending similarly to the 2017 season except Cleveland was able to pull off a victory already. Currently, the Browns are tied with five other teams with just one victory this season. Two of those teams had their bye weeks this week...

Sunday Night Football, Week 6: Bengals vs. Giants open thread

Browns fans can also use this as an open thread.

Tonight on Sunday Night Football, the Cincinnati Bengals (1-4) take on the New York Giants (2-3). This game also serves as a preview for the Browns’ opponent in Week 7, as they host Cincinnati. The Bengals’ record is very disappointing for them, but it tells a different story than what Cleveland has faced. The Bengals’ offense has come alive in recent weeks, as they went toe-to-toe to the Chiefs, lost a shootout to the Commanders, and then were stunned by the Ravens’ comeback last week in another shootout.

The Giants,...

Browns vs Eagles: Grading the Browns in another loss

Browns vs Eagles: Grading the Browns in another loss

The Browns struggle to find points as familiar issues plague the offense.

The Cleveland Browns fell to 1-5 after another loss on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, 20-16. The Browns became the first team since the 2014 season to fail to score more than 20 points in each of their first six games.

It was a familiar story of poor offensive line play, dropped footballs, untimely penalties, coverage miscues, and erratic quarterback play. After the game, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Deshaun Watson will remain the team’s starting quarterback next week.

Cleveland is in for a tumultuous week ahead as...

Brownies and Frownies from Browns Week 6 loss to Eagles: Not a lot to love, more to hate

Brownies and Frownies from Browns Week 6 loss to Eagles: Not a lot to love, more to hate

Each loss becomes a wooden stake to the Browns 2024 season

The Cleveland Browns are facing some grim realities without scoring very many points with this anemic offense. On many social media platforms, more and more season ticket holders have their seats listed for sale. Many of these ads have listed all of the remaining games instead of just a few. Ouch.

The Philadelphia Eagles are a very good team. Good teams usually find ways to defeat the weaker clubs and then power onto the next opponent.

Before this game, the only Cleveland players that were showing up in the...

Browns sticking with Deshaun Watson is stubborn, forced, stupid or sunk-cost fallacy

Browns sticking with Deshaun Watson is stubborn, forced, stupid or sunk-cost fallacy

Browns offense is horrible and sticking with a struggling QB is a sign of something or multiple things

Cleveland Browns fans read the above title and are either saying “All of the above” or “Let me add a couple of words to that.” In the end, QB Deshaun Watson has been at the helm of the worst offense in at least the last decade and, despite playing better in the second half of Week 6, has not been a good quarterback this year.

With Sunday afternoon games going on and a couple of primetime games left in Week 6, Watson...
