Week 16 - AFC Championship Preview: Oakland Raiders @ Cleveland Browns

• Sage

  

  Will Chazz Frye return in a Favre-to-Lambeuesque storyline? Will Jerome Harrison break the single season rushing record? Will a Coach be fired on the field via their replacement running out of the tunnel and hitting them with a chair? Will JaMarcus Russel rise from the ashes like a phoenix? Will the team that wins this game carry a psychological edge into their inevitable showdown in the AFC playoffs?
  
  These are the questions that are searing my soul.
  
  I think Browns win 52-45 in a shootout.

  Browns are the hottest team in football.
  
  Browns 38
  Raiders 13

  Russell made his return yesterday and led the Raiders to a game winning touchdown. I know he got the wind knocked out of him but his championship winning replacement threw a pass to a dirt spot 10 yards down the field. JaMarcus then had to save the team and his coach from punching any coaches or QB's.
  
  After this performance, the Brownies should look out because there is no doubt that JAMARCUS RUSSELL IS BACK...
  
  
  
  
  ....to holding the clipboard.

  I don't really know how this game will go but I'm going to say:
  
  Raiders 28
  Browns 24

  bigdaddy is a fucking hater.
  
  You best respect the the team of this decade, which is your 2009 Cleveland Browns.
  
  The talent assembled on this team is godly and we will no doubt win our 3rd game in a row as our goal to be the #1 team in the NFL gets a step closer.

  ^lol I'm not a hater. I have been impressed with Cleveland in the last two weeks.

  Raiders return for Red Right 88.

  Big Daddy has the logo of the biggest fraud in all of pro sports beside his name.
  
  Enjoying your stolen property, Daddy?
  
  I'm sure you are. Please give my worst to Mr. Modell and ask him when he's going to hurry up and die, already. We're getting impatient.
  
  On topic: If the pattern holds, Cleveland's defense will play very well in this game and the offense will struggle again.
• Mulva

  

  The Raiders have actually been better than expected this year. I'll take the Browns at home, but I could see the Browns D being the slumpbuster Darren McFadden needs to put a solid finish to a really disappointing season for him.
• Non

  

  Michael Bush had one of his best games against the Broncos.
  
  133 yards on 18 carries.
  
  And the Raiders have two pretty good young receivers in Louis Murphy and some guy Chaz Schilens who kind of looks like TO

  lol They weren't stolen. I would have moved also if I owned the best team in a town that offered to build every other team a new arena but my own. I don't care if Modell is alive or not. He hasn't owned the Ravens in a few years.

  I would have said the Browns have a good chance in this one, but with DA back there I can see him throwing about 4 INT's against the Raiders' secondary...
• The Kaptain

  Yeah, Quinn has been lighting it up lately. DA leads the Browns to a 28-14 victory.

  Anderson: 6 games, 681 YDS, 42.9% Comp, 2 TD, 9 INT, 36.2 rating
  Quinn: 10 games, 1339 YDS, 53.1% Comp, 8 TD, 7 INT, 67.2 rating
  
  Anderson has more INT's in 5 1/2 games than Quinn has in 8 1/2.
  
  Quinn certainly hasn't been "lighting it up", but if you can look at those stats and defend Anderson, then there is no sense arguing with you. The guy is terrible. Quinn hasn't been great his year, but he's a hell of a lot better than Anderson.

  I want him to suffer a long painful death..... I am evil like that.
  
  GO Browns beat the Raiders.

  i agree. this hurts, losing quinn for the year. i lost all my respect for DA when we played the bengals in 07 we had to win and we had the afc north and a playoff spot and dude throws 5 ints. what a joke. i would rather see ratliff at qb than this joke
• Ironman92

  

  Raiders have beaten the 10-4 Eagles, 9-5 Bengals, the 8-7 Broncos in Denver and the defending champion Steelers.....in all honesty they don't look to have a prayer vs the Browns.
• LeagueMVP

  

  DA shows everyone on Sunday that he wasn't a pro bowler for nothing. 22 of 33 for 310 yards and 3 tds 0 int. more importantly leading the Browns to an "impressive" victory 35-14.
• LeagueMVP

  

  i believe and write this because Oakland will be looking for Harrison to run past them and top his previous performance.

  But...he was a pro bowler for nothing.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Anderson will go 5-18 for 60 yards and 3 picks in the first half and will give way to Ratliff in the second half. Raiders win 31-3.
• Footwedge

  Will not watch this pig with no brains calling signals under center.

  It's cute when you post things like this.
  
  DA will be lucky to get 150 yards passing, let alone 0 interceptions and 3 TD's.

  I am excited to see my Browns go for a 3 game win streak!
