Browns vs. Saints: Cleveland’s x-factor on offense

Browns vs. Saints: Cleveland’s x-factor on offense

Elijah Moore could be an integral part of the Browns’ offense on Sunday

The Cleveland Browns are coming out of the bye week refreshed and looking to get their third win of the season this weekend against an underwhelming Saints team.

New Orleans has just fired its head coach, traded away one of its top defensive players, and continues to have the worst overall defense in the league. If the Browns’ offense can get off to a fast and efficient start like they did against Baltimore in week 8 then the Cleveland faithful might be in for a great weekend....

Browns season: Best case, worst case the rest of 2024

Browns season: Best case, worst case the rest of 2024

Andrew Berry, Kevin Stefanski might care about winning but what is best for the Browns future?

The 2024 Cleveland Browns season was supposed to be about building on the 2023 playoff appearance. The Browns brought back most of their starters, revamped their offense to fit what Deshaun Watson does best and made a couple of moves in the offseason to upgrade the roster.

Failure ensued.

Coming out of their bye week, Cleveland GM Andrew Berry and HC Kevin Stefanski both talked about the goal of winning games. Whether that is because they believe that is best for the team or...

NFL Power Rankings: Browns slip to 27th heading into Week 11, not viewed as a contender

NFL Power Rankings: Browns slip to 27th heading into Week 11, not viewed as a contender

Cleveland’s 2024 season is deemed a waste.

Here is a summary of how the Cleveland Browns are viewed across mainstream media outlets in NFL Power Rankings heading into Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season.

CBS Sports - No. 23 (up 1 spot)

They simply have too many injuries to overcome this season. Now they have to stew in the mess that is the Deshaun Watson situation for a few years. Good luck.

ESPN - No. 27 (down 2 spots)

Non-QB MVP: Edge rusher Myles Garrett

The Browns’ defense has regressed from its elite standing last...

Last week, the Browns were on the bye, but fan confidence tanked right back to being minimal, as fans had their spirits sucked out of them with a bad loss to the Chargers. With a bye week to reflect, there probably isn’t a big reason...

Browns 53-man roster literally 3 players short

Browns 53-man roster literally 3 players short

10 days later, Browns roster is still short of players after IR, trade and release moves

Likely much to do about nothing in the long run but, currently as of Wednesday night of Week 11, the Cleveland Browns 53-man roster is three players short. While the Browns had a bye week last week, GM Andrew Berry traded away DE Za’Darius Smith and released DT Quinton Jefferson.

While Smith’s debut with his new team was delayed, Jefferson sacked for Cleveland QB Joe Flacco in Week 10.

Not only did those two moves leave the Browns roster thin on the defensive line,...

Browns Roster: 7 players who see more action after the Bye

There are a number of players who could end up getting on the field more often in week 11 and beyond

The Cleveland Browns have a record of 2-7 heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Saints, and the team will most likely begin to take a look at what they have on the bottom third of their roster regarding its long-term outlook.

In addition to giving more playing time to its depth pieces on the active roster, they could even begin to activate some of their more prospective practice squad options as well over the second half of the year....

NFL QB futures: 14 teams have certainty at the most important position

Patrick Mahomes leads the list but the Browns look to the NFL draft, NFL free agency for their next answer

As the Cleveland Browns prepare to play out the rest of the games in the 2024 NFL season, the questions around the quarterback position are back. For a few fleeting moments, Browns fans thought things were squared away with Baker Mayfield and, shortly after the shock wore off, when the trade was made for Deshaun Watson.

As we have already started our look at a few quarterbacks in the upcoming NFL draft, including placing three in different categories, and [what...

Browns failures, blame game: First to go could surprise

Browns failures, blame game: First to go could surprise

Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry have been talked about but Paul DePodesta’s future is also up in the air

Usually, when an NFL team crumbles and isn’t very good, the first head-to-roll is one of the coaches. Or two.

The 2-7-0 Las Vegas Raiders have already let go of three of their offensive assistant coaches. The New Orleans Saints and New York Jets have fired their head coaches after disappointing starts.

There are at least five other coaches on the hot seat this season.

The Cleveland Browns, sitting at 2-7-0 themselves, will most certainly be firing some folks when the...

Dawg Pound Discourse: How many wins does Kevin Stefanski need to save his job?

At 2-7, the Browns have been one of the league’s biggest disappointments

The Cleveland Browns returned from their bye week to practice in Berea yesterday afternoon. Their opponent on Sunday appears to be rejuvenated after a big divisional win after firing their head coach days earlier.

The New Orleans Saints beat the Falcons after firing head coach Dennis Allen on the strength of two touchdown passes from Derek Carr to Marquez Valdes -Scantling. The Browns will need their defense to step up and their offense to fix the issues that have plagued them all year in order to win.

Monday Night Football, Week 10: Dolphins vs. Rams open thread

Browns fans can also use this as an open thread.

Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season concludes tonight with the Miami Dolphins taking on the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. The Dolphins have been a mess this season. They are 2-6, with both of their victories coming against arguably the worst teams in football (Jaguars and Patriots). Then, with Tua back the past two games, they have lost two close games to the Cardinals and Bills. Their offense is potent again, but not many more weeks can they afford to not finish games?

The Rams, meanwhile, started...
