It's that time of season where the Brown Log looks to drive up it's won loss record in predicting the outcome of Browns games. If we'd only predict the team to lose every week we'd be 7-2 right now, but as good Clevelanders, optimism must win out from time to time, hence our 5-4 record year to date.
In our last loss against the Ravens, Coach Pat Shurmur showed his inexperience by his slow decision making at key moments in the game, which resulted in several very bad play calls in key moments. Shurmur is cutting his teeth in this his first head coaching assignment at any level and it shows. Shurmur has also shown the ability in the past to grow from the school of hard knocks so I don't expect to see confusion on the field against the Cowboys when it comes to play calling. However I wouldn't be surprised to see some other issue rear it's ugly head today.
Fact is that the Cowboys are at home, against a Browns team that will have an injured Joe Haden, perhaps on the field, but maybe not.
BL Predicts:
Cowboys 21
Browns 13
