2021 Season Predictions

[sportscoach]

Id put the NFC West, NFC North, and AFC West ahead of the Browns’ division.

I guess we will see at the end of the season...

Individual prediction only.

Felton scores more TDs than Kareem Hunt, developing an insane three headed RB monster.

 

[Douglar]

Chubb gets to 999 yards rushing, and then the team rests him for the remainder of the season, and Chubb still doesn’t complain.

And by the way if you guys are not reading the realbrownsfans.com articles, your are missing some high quality stuff.

I thought this was an interesting question--

I thought this was an interesting question--

Well, they will have more success going against Smith and Niang than they would going against Brown and Thuney.

I think people are just using the word rookie to try and paint a picture where these guys are bad. I expect Humphrey to be one of the better day-one rookie centers in recent memory.

If I'm figuring out how to beat Niang and Smith, I'm making them move and adjust. They're big boys, but not the most agile. A nice Clowney stunt should do the trick. Occupy Humphrey so that Smith is on an island with Clowney and that's a recipe for pass rush wins.

I expect Andy Reid to run right often. Make that side of the Browns D-Line stay home and defend the run so that they can't attack freely in pass situations.

Record: 12-5. Losses to the Chiefs, Cardinals, Ravens once, Packers, and one of Chargers/Steelers/Patriots/Raiders.

Individual stats: Baker will have his first 4000 yard, 30 TD, <10 INT season. The Browns will field at least two 1000 yard receivers... and one of them will be Donovan Peoples-Jones. Nick Chubb will have 1200 yards on the ground, and Kareem Hunt will again top 1000 yards from scrimmage.

End of the year awards:
NFL DPOY - Myles Garrett, who will finish top five in the league in sacks and will lead the league in forced fumbles.
NFL DROY - JOK, who will lead all rookies in TFLs and will be among the top ten in sacks.
Browns OROY - Demetric Felton, who shows that his great preseason is no fluke.
Browns OPOY - Baker Mayfield, who turns in his finest individual season as a pro and sets himself up for a massive extension.

Pro Bowlers:
Baker Mayfield
Nick Chubb
Joel Bitonio
Wyatt Teller
Myles Garrett
Denzel Ward
John Johnson III

Final game: AFC Championship Game, vs. Chiefs... which serves as both a revenge game for their Week 1 loss and a tune-up to face Green Bay in the Super Bowl, their actual final game of the year.

Who will they beat to get there?: Ravens (wild card round), Colts (divisional round), Chiefs (AFC Championship Game)

Welp, we’re at about the halfway point.

Could still potentially have a couple 1000 yard receivers, but doesn’t seem likely, nor does it seem likely that Baker has the statistically good season I thought he might.

Chubb could still get 1200 on the ground, and Hunt could probably still top 1000 scrimmage yards, but it’s an uphill battle for both.

At least I was accurate in predicting our losses (although I fell short by one so far, as they lost to both the Steelers AND the Chargers, not just one or the other).
