The media sure loves to crown the Browns prematurely. Let's wait a little longer and see what happens. The team has talent, no doubt about it.

He's got some big egos starting to buy into team football. They look as close to real as i can recall in the last 20+ years, maybe longer.

Good Ol, running the football...

Put + 300 yards on the Cowboys running last week @ Dallas.

Who'd have thunk it?

But I thought Covid made winning impossible this season? New coaches and system, so much to teach his players, he must need OTAs and rookie camps and preseason games...

So no teams are going to win this season? Everyone is going 0-16? Team dynamics are at play with every team, the Vikings had a huge overhaul on defense: No Hunter or Pierce, rookies starting in the secondary/injuries, Barr is out, etc. and its showing. The offense looks pretty damn good.

The NFL doesn't believe in excuses, a HC's job is tenuous. But there are reasons the D is stinking so far and that is COVID for Minnesota. Z has one shitty start to a season on D and the rotten tomatoes are flying already. And there are plenty of reasons why. Honestly, the Vikings should be 2-2 right now.

As to the original article, I agree that Stefanski has done a nice job corralling all of the egos in Cleveland this year and getting them to buy in to his culture. I think he will definitely prove to be a great hire for them and should have been their original choice instead of the disaster that was Freddie Kitchens.

As for Zimmer, let's see how prepared he gets this team for Seattle. Can he throw enough at Wilson to keep him off balance? Same with Kubiak. Can he put enough wrinkles in the game plan in order to match points with the high powered Seahawks offense? Not expecting an upset because Seattle is the better team, but if the Vikings continue to show improvement and have a competitive effort Sunday Night, Zimmer might get some of the critics off of his back.
