Well what if that 'nightmare matchup' occurs when losing means the end of the season?
The coaches have had 4 years to figure this out, and we're getting further away if anything.
The contenders don't just routinely get stomped by a team they know they have to face at least twice a year. We've got to be far better here.
You have a point there. It's a long season and all, but the Browns aren't starting a backup QB for 65% of the season this year, so our games against them MIGHT be more than "Whatever, who cares, moving on." The fact that we helped them get their first home opener win in 19 years may indicate that they aren't the same ol' Browns, even though we managed to stiff against the same ol Browns, too....hmm.
