Browns fans blame run defense for loss to Raiders, expecting Washington to demolish Cleveland in Week 5

Browns fans blame run defense for loss to Raiders, expecting Washington to demolish Cleveland in Week 5

Cleveland fans also don’t see a win against Washington this weekend.

Each week during season, Cleveland Browns fans vote in SB Nation Reacts to express their confidence level in the team or their thoughts on other topics.

After their loss to the Raiders in Week 4, the Browns’ confidence level crept up to 15%, an increase of 9 percentage points from the previous week. Fans are still frustrated with the team’s 1-3 start, but I think there is a shred of optimism that guys like Nick Chubb, David Njoku, and Jack Conklin are close to returning to the offense.

A lot of big names, both for the game and fantasy football, on the final injury report for Browns vs Commanders

The final injury report for the Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders turned out to be an interesting one for both teams. The Browns ruled out five players after Friday’s practice while labeling another five as questionable according to HC Kevin Stefanski.

While we hope Cleveland can make the necessary changes to win in Washington, injury concerns are a big deal.

The first injury report was loaded with 14 players not participating. Thursday we saw some changes with some of...

The Cleveland Browns are back on the road Sunday as they take on the Washington Commanders.

This is a matchup of teams trending in opposite directions as the Browns have lost two consecutive games while dealing with injuries, a defense that has not lived up to expectations, and an offense that can’t find any rhythm after the opening series of a game.

The Commanders are riding the high of a three-game winning streak with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels...

NFL rumors: Davante Adams hints at a trade to the AFC North

A trade to the Ravens could change the AFC North greatly

For the Cleveland Browns, winning in Week 5 really is the only thing that can be on their mind. The team and fans have little hope of making the playoffs but, if they are to have a shot, it starts with the players and coaching and not worrying about what is going on around them in the league.

Fans and media can keep up with what is going on in and around the NFL, especially the AFC North.

Last week, Cleveland lost to the Las Vegas Raiders despite both...

Injury concerns heading into Week 5 for Browns roster

The Cleveland Browns will head into Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season with the same concern that they’ve had since sometime last year: Injuries. Unlike 2023, the Browns have not been able to overcome injuries leading to some poor performances around the roster.

Against the Washington Commanders, things need to change for HC Kevin Stefanski’s bunch but injuries will not be one of them. While we await the official injury report later this afternoon, including the Commanders part, Stefanski provided updates after practice on Friday on what to expect for...

The history of former Cleveland Browns players used to be littered with guys who never found their way back into the league or had the occasional chance on a 53-man roster. That is no longer true as, now, the NFL is littered with former Browns all over the landscape including starting QBs Baker Mayfield and Jacoby Brissett along with Joe Flacco, who could start this week for the injured Anthony Richardson.

Quarterbacks are not the only players who have spent time in Cleveland and...

Browns fans can also use this as an open thread.

Week 5 of the NFL season kicks off tonight as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Atlanta Falcons.

It’s an intriguing game for Browns fans, in the sense that they get to reminisce about Baker Mayfield, who is lighting it up for the Buccaneers.
