We out here killing it on SOS, fam.

Is this for the full schedule or teams played to date

Either way it's truly special just how bad we are. We have a soft schedule and still just can't even look competitive lol

Like it'd be one thing if we had a brutal strength of schedule and were getting blown out and it'd be another if we had a pretty easy SOS and kept losing close hard fought games

But no. The Browns say fuck all of that. We are gonna play a candy ass schedule AND get blown the fuck out every week

I'd bet it calculates the full schedule SOS, but the strength of each team changes with each win/loss.

I'd bet it calculates the full schedule SOS, but the strength of each team changes with each win/loss.

Last year it varied a lot source to source and it was never actually specified. Some sites did it only on teams they have actually played (which makes sense if trying to determine how good/bad a team's competition has been) and some sites did it based on the team's full schedule (which makes sense for tanking purposes)

I ended up just setting up a spreadsheet and tracking it last year, but I won't do that until our bye week this year

Not sure. Got it from Tankathon.com which might be my favorite website this time of year.

The Niners are heads and shoulders better than the Browns. It is nothing but a fluke that they haven't won, not one, but two, games.

I think there is nothing to fear from them.

If we take a fucking RB #1 overall I'm throwing the paws

As much as I love Succotash Barkley, there is a special, all-purpose stud RB1 coming out every year.

No reason to think the Browns will be drafting higher than #8 in 2019. They can grab one next year.

Who do you see being the RB in 2018? Free agent? I don't want Crow back next year.

Between picks 41 and 89, there were 5 running backs taken: Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, Alvin Kamara, Kareem Hunt, and D'Onta Foreman. All rookies who'd have been capable of moderately to wildly outperforming Crowell this season. That doesn't always happen, but hopefully there's a similar crop in 2018 and we can land a winner without using a 1st, or at least someone who could competently split time with Duke.

I was all over Hunt and Mixon for the Browns. Nixon's off the field issue is what made me shy away from him, but then again without those issues he goes significantly higher.

There are a lot more than just Barkley/Guice/Chubb.

Bryce Love, Ronald Jones, Damien Harris, Rashaad Penny, Sony Michel.

There are options that we can legit draft in the 2nd-3rd. But Barkley is still the main top-tier, #1, creme de la creme RB to get. This weekend against a good UM defense will highlight his strengths/weaknesses even more.

He will go well with the QB they draft in 2020.

With Thomas down we've pretty much clinched 1st pick

If a QB brings it on and shows they're clear cut #1 overall?..................we will end up being the#2 pick lol

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the season debut of The Tank Enquirer!!

Another Osweiler type of move? Trade for Suh and a 2nd in the offseason then cut him and take the cap hit.
