With bye weeks, home and road games, etc there would be thousands of possibilities and ultimately the guy writing the checks can get whatever result he wants.

This Browns team doesn't scare me with or without Desean.

Re: Deshaun Watson will play vs Saints, suspended vs all other NFC South Rivals!
The 11 game suspension also makes it less likely that the Browns will get another qb. Clearly Watson > Garrapalo > Brissett. Had the suspension been a full season, the Browns may have sprung for Garrapalo. But with 11 games, the rest of our division gets Brisset and we get Watson, who when he left the league was an mvp caliber qb. The browns with an mvp caliber qb do scare me. Myles Garret is good. They have the most depth at RB in the league. They have decent receivers. Sleeping on the Browns is like sleeping around Bill Cosby or Roger Goodell. You may wake up in a nightmare.

I'm just saying I don't think it's that big of a disadvantage that he is playing. Our secondary is going to feast this year + he's not the most accurate |

Probably so. I take bako’s point as being it’s just another example of the league having an issue outside of the Saints control that ends up working against them. It’s funny that seemingly 9 times out of 10 it falls that way for them. Can’t remember this sort of thing happening to other teams as much.

Yeah. People don't seem to remember that he was only able to win four games in 16 starts the last season playing.
