The Defense is trash ..

With that said, what do you mean by injured Browns team?
They had their elite RB back (Chubb) and their starting QB.
Clowney, Ward, and Peoples-Jones all ended up playing.
About the only big loss they had was their RT Conklin.
OBJ hasn't really been a big impact player since becoming a Brown, so not a big loss there.
Is rookie Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah considered a big loss?

Part of this loss is on the players. Turnovers and drops were huge. But there's also room for improvement in the playcalling. I'd like to see Taylor and Anarumo get a little more creative based on what the opponent is giving them.

If this team ends with 7 or more wins, there's no way Mike Brown moves on from Taylor or Anarumo. They'll be back with a (hopefully) bigger investment in OL to see if they can into the playoffs next year (if they don't this year).

I honestly think Taylor is safe now... 5 wins is more than the 4 ,all of last year... Some will laugh, but you know it's true...
