I'm back drinking the Kool-aid again. I went with 3-1. AlexM, I wanted to report that I am back on my meds again... I promise to be "positive" and keep taking 'em :-)
We beat a team barely better than we are catching them on a short week with half their starting defense out. I'm happy we won but my Kool-Aid is still in the cupboard. We should beat Cleveland, 60/40 on the Lions in their favor, and 0 chance we beat Minny unless they have clinched and don't need a win for any reason and then bag the game.
The Lions still have playoff hopes. Cincy did not. BIG difference.

Good decision old chap! I really think thats better for all... To add, im going with 2-2
I went with 2-2 also, with the Browns obviously being our final win. Although, part of me feels that surely the Browns can't go 0-16, right? With their final three opponents being the Ravens, Bears, then Steelers, we are their best hope for a win this year so I could see them fighting hard and squeaking out a win over us. Won't be surprised if we go 1-3.

Maybe I am being naive, but if the Bears just continue to call plays like last Sunday, I think we could win another 1 or 2 games out of the 3 remaining. I'm going to be pretty disappointed if they regress and start that conservative playcalling crap again. Play to win, not to "keep from losing" because when you go down that road you lose.
I don't have enough faith in this coaching staff. I know they can win all of these games but most likely they will only win one or even zero of the games left. I know they will revert back to being really stupid.
The NFCN teams all have a reason to play (currently). The Browns might be highly motivated no to go 0-16. I am sure it would not do anyone's carrer a favor. I have less than no idea what the playoff picture looks like, I assume Vikings could be fighting for a 1st round by? Lions have to have wild card hopes.
Being optimistic about the Bears after last week we could easily go 3-1, however we are at @ both Detroit and Minnesota, which means 2-2 is more realistic.
That being said, Fox will have a special gameplan for the Browns, it will be called in a way so that we play for a 2-0 result, one safety only. No passing allowed, running only straight lines, pen them back with the punt and hope the defence get a score. Trubisky will be orderd to kneel on any pass plays called, in all leading to a dismal and embarissing 12-0 loss and allowing the Browns to get rid of that pesky 0 on their record.
