Wake me up when the Browns actually DO something other than being crowned prematurely by the media.

They are struggling mightily this year, but you cant take away the success they had last year. Dominant playoff win vs Pitt and then almost stole one at KC. This year is weird, a lot of injuries and a lot of drama

Injuries, Covid and some coaching issues as well as some player issues. They had success last year. It is going to be a roller coaster.

Clearly the honeymoon is over for Stefanski and we will now see his coaching skills through adversity.  They are 5-5 in a division with all team with 5+ wins and they haven't played the Ravens yet.

Their offense has been decimated by injury at the skill position - top 2 Rb's have missed significant time and they are built as a run first pound team which brought them to the playoffs last year.  Of course, the Wr has not been great either with OBJ continuing to be a team cancer - good riddance - and Laundry injured and People-Drew not stepping up beyond 3rd WR.  They have two good TE's and a very good OL.  Also, Mayfield has been playing hurt since before we played them and after watching him vs us I opined on here that he did not look good vs us at all.  Then after they won it was reported that Baker was injured a few weeks earlier.  His shoulder was injured and then it was separated (non-throwing) but he has not been near 100% with his complement of skill players since last year.  

Such is the life of an NFL coach and now is where we will see if Stefanski steps up through adversity.  Lord knows, Zimmer has sure seen more then his share!  Ironically, it might come down to if Case still has that horseshoe!
