The Browns have won three straight games. While the Jaguars' playoff hopes are slim, they still have some life nonetheless. Can they recover from their three game losing streak to keep their miracle hopes alive?

Position-by-Position Breakdown
| Pos | Adv | Reason |
| QB |  |
The Jaguars have been known as a running football team for the past several years, but sooner or later they are going to need an upgrade at the quarterback position to put games away. Garrard is a threat to run, and if the Browns overpursue trying to sack him, he will try to take advantage of that with his feet. |
| RB |  |
This is a really tough ranking to make. Obviously Maurice Jones-Drew has proven himself as one of the league's best for several years now. Jerome Harrison has only had a string of two great games, but I'm evaluating the position this week based on the impact they'll have on each team's offense. In the snow/wind, both teams will be run-heavy and effective. |
| WR | |
The Jaguars are not strong at the receiver position, but the Browns are still amongst the bottom in the league in lack of consistent threats. WR Torry Holt and TE Marcedes Lewis, the team's second- and third-receivers, are out with injuries after playing every other game. All they have is Mike Sims-Walker, who has struggled as of late. Normally, the Jaguars have the edge. This week, it's even. |
| OL |  |
Jerome Harrison has given the offensive line and Lawrence Vickers the credit they deserve. The blocking they have had, especially considering the lack of threat that Derek Anderson provides, has made their blocking even more so impressive. The Jaguars struggle getting to the quarterback, so DA should be well protected in the pocket when he does pass. |
| DL | |
The Jaguars are ranked fairly well at stopping the run, and a reason for that is the big bulk up front in John Henderson (6'7", 335 pounds). Will we be seeing a guy like Corey Williams playing his final game as a member of the Browns? |
| LB | |
Matt Roth and David Bowens have combined for the clutch playmaking ability the Browns have needed. David Veikune was placed on injured reserve though, so it's confirmed that we'll have learned nothing about his abilities this season. |
| DB | |
As Ryan Kelsey pointed out this week, the Jaguars are ranked dead last in the league at defending the pass. How is that possible? Part of it has to do with the fact that Rashean Mathis being hurt throughout the season; he is OUT this week as well. |
| ST | |
Josh Scobee has struggled at kicks this season, only making 57.5% of his kicks. In the snow, I'd bank on Jacksonville going for it on fourth downs when in range for 40+ yarders. Jacksonville has yet to have a return go for a touchdown this season. Cribbs deserves to receive a new contract after the game. |
Four games in a row seems like an unfathomable concept after the way this team started the season (1-11). The weather conditions today are going to be blizzard-like, and I am going to absolutely love that as a fan. The wind is going to be gusting like crazy, and by the second half, there could be white-out conditions. It should be a run-heavy game, but both teams will take their shots down the field because it's also impossible to ignore both teams' defensive struggles in the secondary.
FINAL PREDICTION: Cleveland Browns 17, Jacksonville Jaguars 14.
CHRIS' RECORD IN PICKING BROWNS GAMES: 12-3
CHRIS' OVERALL NFL PREDICTIONS RECORD: 169-71

I was going to make a joke about Veikune being active and someone taking a picture just so we can all be assured that he is still alive.
Then I found this article on-line.
Has there ever been a 2nd round LB to notch 0 tackles in his rookie season? Ugh.

Still too early to call him a bust.

I don’t think we can call the WR’s busts yet, but I think Veikune is.
A LB, position change or not, has no excuse for being invisible for an entire season.

This. And if there’s a coaching change there’s a very good chance he won’t even make the team next year, eliminating the small chance he has not to be a bust (which is why blaming “cuts” that happen by different regimes, a la Bell/Rucker, is flawed).
www.lowbrowsophisticate.com
Nearly a zero percent chance of cutting a second rounder in year two. And even if he were cut, at least we didn’t gut the 2010 draft to get him (like Phil gutted the 2009 draft to get Bell and Rucker).
Dawgs By Nature -- where Hitler, apparently, 'did some good things'.
Calling the loss of a 3rd “gutting” is laughable. You’re embarrassing yourself.
www.lowbrowsophisticate.com
We gave up the 69th pick in 2009 for the 111th pick in 2008, and took a player who barely saw the field before being cut. Massive Fail, Phil.
Dawgs By Nature -- where Hitler, apparently, 'did some good things'.
That is a small fraction as detrimental as wiffing on a Second Round pick. We all know you love Mangini and hate Savage, so why repeat nonsense to me over and over? We’ve been through your idiocy before. I responded to Bernie. I made a valid prediction about the current team and issues going forward. You bring up 4th rounders from 3 years ago. Get a life.
www.lowbrowsophisticate.com
Using multiple picks to acquire a player who never saw the field is a fail no matter how you slice it. So is drafting a bust in round 2. Guess what, both failed!
Though only one has a chance to develop into a starter for the Browns.
Dawgs By Nature -- where Hitler, apparently, 'did some good things'.
kwoog, you don’t have to be an asshole every time. golan was responding to me pointing out that it is early to call veikune a bust, and I offered my opinion like we allow you to.
I wasn’t intentionally being an asshole, I actually did miss that you had commented in this exchange. Your comment was totally valid, my bad.
Nonetheless, golan plays the asshole card once out of every three posts (“Phil”), so the selectivity is noted. (Without contrition, I might add)
www.lowbrowsophisticate.com
Not if there’s a regime change. He’s the 8th best player at a position where he’s never played a meaningful down in his life, with zero pro film for a new regime to look at.
www.lowbrowsophisticate.com
If we have a new regime that cuts a second rounder without looking at film, then we have the wrong new regime.
Dawgs By Nature -- where Hitler, apparently, 'did some good things'.
How much two year old, college, defensive end at Hawaii film on the 8th best LB on the 32nd ranked Defense in football do you think a regime should look at?
Apologize for the diction.
www.lowbrowsophisticate.com
And we’ll see about your “zero percent” prediction. If there is a coaching change, which is highly likely, then odds are he’s cut. Bookmark it.
www.lowbrowsophisticate.com
Is it already time for kwoog to start busting out the personal attacks? I believe it is.
Always knew you were illiterate.
^ Not a complete sentence, Phil.
Dawgs By Nature -- where Hitler, apparently, 'did some good things'.
If you stick to making points, I’ll never say a word. You’re the one that is constantly derisive. I have no problem talking with you about football. Give the “Phil” bullshit a rest, and leave all the other stupid, non-football insults alone, and we’ll just end up agreeing to disagree.

kwoog, you were the one that started the hostility here
Calling the loss of a 3rd "gutting" is laughable. You’re embarrassing yourself.
so i think you need to climb off your high horse
I am pissed I am being forced to watch the we don’t care about the end of the season Colts. I would rather watch the Ravens than this preseason game.
Seriously the Colts and the Bills deserve to be on TV? What a joke!

When I said I wanted to win out instead of getting a better draft pick after the Steelers game, I didn’t think we would actually do it.
I really feel like Harrison can be our starting RB next year. Idk where Davis falls into this, but it’d be nice to also get a RB in maybe the 4th round.
we’d be in the playoffs already. None of the teams fighting for that spot are better than this team.

Because I think they are trying to be too smart/clever for their own good.
They won’t play hard last week, but they keep Manning, Wayne and Clark in this week to get some reception records. They just seem overconfident in their abilities.

but if OSU built there team like florida, they would lose to big ten teams in crappy weather and would never make a championship game to begin with.
I guess we’ll see, that seems to be UM’s plan. Also I don’t think Florida would lose in the big 10 because of the weather. They have had good teams, with good players and their speed is an advantage.

i’m not saying they would, they have been a fantastic team for the last few years. the problem is a pass happy team built on speed is in serious trouble in bad weather, which is common in the big ten.
SEC teams never play ANWYWHERE with crappy weather. Ever.

This is how you win in the North.

I feel bad for Houston. Really wanted to see them make the playoffs.

Also, if they won Steelers couldn’t go to the playoffs right?

I believe they needed NY, Bal and Pitt to lose. Maybe. I’ve sort of lost track of the playoff scenarios beyond if Bal and NY win, they’re in.

This is Browns football . . . nice to see it when we didn’t think we would this year!

Will Pittsburgh go to the playoffs? Great God, I hate to see that! I would like to think we staked their heart.

They’re in if the Jets or Ravens lose, I believe. Now that the Texans lost.

Then again, the Texans may not lose. Didn’t see the comeback!

Yeah, I tell you, their fourth quarter defense this year is an iron curtain.
Too bad they left the curtain wide open.

oh well we still won

Got to admit though, all things being equal, I’d love to see that done all next year. Albeit, with Quinn managing the game. If he never passed it more than 20-25 times a game and we ran the ball like this, I’d be all in favor of that.

don’t see that often from Cleveland coaches not named Mike Brown

Henne had an eye injury, then Pat White nearly got his head caved in and was down for about 10 minutes. Thigpin is in for the ’Fins now.

I missed the last quarter… had to take my sister from the airport. But what a turnaround the second half of the season! 5-11 is nothing to brag about, but at one point I thought we’d go 0-16. We should’ve beaten Cincy at home and Detroit. This could actually be a 7 win team.
I hope Mangini gets 1 more year.
God Bless the Texans!
Only time I’ll ever say this: Go Raiders!

While Mangini can rub people off the wrong way, I love the discipline he’s instilled.
And dare I say it… Daboll has actually grown into the OC role well…
i hope mangini isn’t rubbing people off, much less doing it the wrong way.
