Brown BLog Predicts
November 22, 2020: Browns vs Eagles
Gut feelings
Even with Myles Garrett out this week with Covid, most experts are predicting the Browns handle the Eagles today. My gut screamed at me to take a closer look.
A lot of Browns fans like to play the game of oversimplification. The Eagles lost to the Giants last week and the Giants are 3-7 therefore the Browns will win on Sunday.
Let's use that logic with the Browns:
- The Browns only have one win this season vs a quality team: The win over the Colts
- Without Myles Garrett, even though we played terrible teams all season, it can reasonably be argued that the Browns would be 3-6
Guess what folks, a deeper look at the Eagles shows they are not good, but also not near as bad as the record shows. They played the Ravens and Steelers tough and the Eagles have had every break go against them. Furthermore the Eagles have an incredibly tough schedule ahead of them and even in a terrible division, this game vs the Browns truly is a must win if the Eagles plan to win their division.
We got a sneak preview of the Browns defense without Myles Garrett during most of the second half vs the Raiders. Without Myles folks we are one of the worst defenses in the NFL.
Sorry to say, but notwithstanding that everyone sees the Browns winning today, my gut says this one is going to be a wake up call. And that wake up call is "pray that Myles Garrett recovers soon or this season is going down the toilet quick"
