Would hope he was a little deeper than that.
dollars 2 donuts Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 I don't know what evidence there is for Florio to say the Browns are the better team other than a one game advantage in the standing. Would hope he was a little deeper than that. Maybe it's because they've had the difficult task of playing the NFC South this year?
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Maybe it's because they've had the difficult task of playing the NFC South this year? Bills schedule has been a lot tougher than Browns for sure.
Dorkington Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Imagine how pissed we would be at the experts if we were Browns fans. They have a better record, and have beaten two legitimate teams, while we have only beaten one.
blargo Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Imagine how pissed we would be at the experts if we were Browns fans. They have a better record, and have beaten two legitimate teams, while we have only beaten one. We have beaten 2 legitimate teams, Miami at home and Detroit on the road...

They have a better record, and have beaten two legitimate teams, while we have only beaten one. All the power ratings I have seen point to the Bills as the better team clearly.
Dorkington Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 We have beaten 2 legitimate teams, Miami at home and Detroit on the road... Just speaking from the perspective of a "browns fan".... I'm personally fine with it, but I'm biased.
dollars 2 donuts Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 We have beaten 2 legitimate teams, Miami at home and Detroit on the road... Yeah, lets be honestly here, the Phins are the real deal. They didn't look good when we beat them, but that was one week after they handed to the Pats. I'd imagine, as well, that Broncos fans are pretty darn relieved to leave last Sunday's game with a W. BTW, if we beat the Browns it is crazy to think that everyone of the Broncos home games so far this year have been against teams with a winning record.
Last Guy on the Bench Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Imagine how pissed we would be at the experts if we were Browns fans. They have a better record, and have beaten two legitimate teams, while we have only beaten one. I would say both Detroit and Miami are "legitimate" teams.
bananathumb Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 This seems to be pretty optimistic on the part of "experts". I worry about the Browns. They seem to have our number every year. Pettine will be very focused for this one.
Very wide right Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Bills schedule has been a lot tougher than Browns for sure. Tougher??? The Bills have had one of the softest schedules thus far in the entire NFL

Deranged Rhino Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Tougher??? The Bills have had one of the softest schedules thus far in the entire NFL Facts clearly are not your friend.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Tougher??? The Bills have had one of the softest schedules thus far in the entire NFL The Bills schedule according to SRS over at PFR is +1.4 the Browns -3.7. Yes a 5 point plus edge supports Bills schedule being tougher!!!

Dibs Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Tougher??? The Bills have had one of the softest schedules thus far in the entire NFL You might want to start questioning the value of your source for that information. 2 ways to look at it.... Browns opponents have won 47.5 games, Bills 60 games. Browns have played 4 easybeat teams(JAX1, OAK1, TB2, TEN2), Bills have played 2 easybeat teams (NYJ2x2). Either way the Browns have had the far easier schedule so far this season.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 @BuffaloBillsPR Game predictions are starting to filter in and @PSchrags is picking #Bills fans to make the difference. Check it out: http://bufbills.co/ZdjaSd Cleveland at Buffalo: Find me a Bills or Browns fan who wouldn't have answered "Where do I sign?" if I told them back in April that the two teams would be playing in a game with huge playoff implications for both teams in Week 13. The numbers are astounding, really. Buffalo hasn't been to the playoffs since 1999, when Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie were the quarterbacks and the Music City Miracle did them in. The Browns, of course, have not won a playoff game since 1995. Both squads are in the hunt. I like the Bills, back at the Ralph, riding high on the emotion of a big win in Detroit and a home crowd that will be downright craving something to bring them out of their houses and together again. The Pick: Bills 23, Browns 16
