majormayhem1 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2007 They go 16-0 and lose to either the Jags, Colts, or Browns in the playoffs. Then the Chargers beat the Vikings in the Super Bowl. Ha. The Chargers. I'm sure the Patriots would love to throttle the Chargers again. Well, I can't speak for them. But, I'd like to see L.T. eat some humble pie. With Romeo and Willie, the Browns are the most dangerous team in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2007 When mentioning the Browns, the aspect that scares me the most is, surprisingly, kick returner Josh Cribbs. The guy's been averaging 30.9 yards per kick return and has 43 returns of 20+ yards and 7 returns of 40+ yards! He also averages 10.1 yards per punt return and has 3 runs of 20+ yards there too. In the playoffs, field position can make or break a game and that's what makes the Browns the most dangerous team in regards to beating the Patriots, IMO (and possibly going deep into the playoffs).

Will get the Steelers path to the Super Bowl once one of those teams deal with the Pats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RyechnaiaSobaka Report post Posted December 22, 2007 The Browns' defense is horrible. I don't see how they are going to be able to stop New England. According to Football Outsiders, as of Week 17, they have the 30th ranked defense in the NFL and the 31st ranked pass defense. I like the Browns a lot. I just don't like their chances at stopping a team with a sick passing offense like New England's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't like their chances at stopping a team with a sick passing offense like New England's. The Browns wont have a shot and its not even their defense that would do them in.. Theres two former Ravens that will prove why the Ravens let them go finally after a whole year of "OMG WHY'D THE RAVENS DUMP THEM?". How could the Browns feel confident about going into NE with Derek Anderson as their QB, who just got picked apart by a mediocre at best Bengals defense? Do they honestly think Jamal will get anywhere close to 100 yards rushing? Those are the two cornerstones of the Browns offense which has scored enough points to negate most of the problems they have on defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2007 They have been doing these hypothetical matchups on ESPN with Parcells and Berman putting their top 5 teams ever vs. the Patriots from this year. I found it odd that they mentioned the 1989 49ers rather than the 1984 team. I mention the 1984 team because they have come the closest to going undefeated of anyone in a 16 game season till this year (they were 15-1 and the 1 loss was by 3 to the Steelers). Also had a better differential than the 1989 team. They also beat the piss out of a much better Super Bowl opponent in the Dolphins with Marino (who were 14-2) than either the 85 Bears or the 89 Niners. I'm not necessarily saying the 84 Niners would beat the Patriots, but if you want to do such a dream match scenario I'd put them on the short list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2007 Also the 1985 Bears. Is it just me or are the 1993 Cowboys not remotely in the same league with the 72 Dolphins, 78 Steelers, and 85 Bears? That team was just 12-4 with a +147 differential, really just a standard team that won the Super Bowl. The 1992 Cowboys were 13-3 and had a +166, so why not that team instead? After all they beat a better Niners team on the road in the NFC title game and utterly maimed the Bills in the Super Bowl. I will say this, if the Patriots do go 16-0 and win the Super Bowl they would have to be considered the best team ever. Right now their differential on the season is +312, which is insane. I think the 1999 Rams had a +284. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoenixrising 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2007 Berman did mention that it was Parcells' personal best teams of all time. They picked the '89 Niners over the '84 team because the '89 team had Jerry Rice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
