ya we do, just hope we don't get the outbreak that is happening with browns. I kinda feel for them but since the steelers laid down last year in week 17 to let them in playoffs I don't feel bad. but it still sucks for all these teams
 
It does...but it could happen to anyone. But we have 3 RBs on the covid list, so we haven't escaped it either. Just gotta cross those fingers.

Not much of a break since the Raiders own the tiebreaker with us, after this game they play

DEN
@IND
LAC

Browns play

@GB
@PIT
CIN

None of that is easy, not sure if own the tiebreaker with CLE.

should we root for browns or raiders? I assumed raiders browns still had better record than us.

I guess Raiders since it brings both teams at 7-7. However there are some situations where the Browns winning the division could really help us if the Ravens drop back to the wildcard where we own the tiebreaker with them. So, hard to tell.
 
Agree it’s hard to tell but I don’t think either of those 2 teams is winning out. Browns will get to 7 losses and Raiders to 8 just don’t know how it will shake out for us.

I know the Raiders have the tie breaker, but they are 6-7. They lose one more after beating the Browns we jump them. Browns are 7-6, we need them to lose twice to jump them. So, they lose to the Raiders, we only need them to lose one more, with games against Green Bay, Pitt, Cincy.
Raiders have Denver, Colts, Chargers. They lose one of those we're set.
Of course, this all assumes we win out.

Browns announce Kevin Stefanski tested positive for COVID-19

The Browns won a playoff game without head coach Kevin Stefanski last season.

Baker Mayfield tests positive for COVID-19

With 12 players on their COVID-19 lists, the Browns already had a full-blown crisis.

So, needing the Raiders to beat Cleveland this weekend, Miami gets a break. Both Stefanski and Mayfield should be out.

Not really. Easier path was for the Browns to win. Now the Raiders go up to 7-7 and Browns fall to 7-7. It's just made it murkier.

Bengals winning the division could do the same.
 
Who is Baker's backup?

I wouldn't be surprised if he plays better than Bake.

A Raiders loss would essentially eliminate them. So there's that, 6-8.
Browns win, they are 8-6 with three to go. They would have to lose two of their last three for us to pass them. Will LAC at 8-5, we probably aren't passing them. Buffalo has CAR, ATL, NYJ, and NE. Probably are winning 3. That's 10 wins.
With only one spot remaining, we have to jump a lot of teams. I'm still say the Browns need to lose to Raiders. It pulls them back to the pack instead of separating them.
 
If we run the table…which I think is required, I am not worried about Cleveland as I think their schedule will take care of them….Packers, Steelers and Bengals after this one. Same thing with the Raiders and the Steelers.

What we really need is too catch New England and bypass the Colts!
