GETTING BLOWN AWAY ON A BROWNS SUNDAY

By STEVE KING

We always say here at Browns Daily Dose, that you’re going to read something here that is interesting and thought-provoking that you’re not going to read anywhere else.

And here is the most perfect — and bizarre — example of that to date.

So here goes:

There is no power here where I live because of high winds. The power grid here is like the Browns defense in that it is a sieve. It is filled with jokes, so we lose our power a lot. And when it goes out, it does so for a long time. This is just another example of that, and poor timing — in fact, it is the perfect storm of bad timing. Why? Because there is a Browns game with the Houston Texans at FirstEnergy Stadium that, as of this writing, hasn’t started yet because of a weather delay but is expected to start within minutes.

And with that, then, I have been called away to a mini-emergency here because of the power problem and as such I am filing my game-after story before the game even begins.

If the Browns end up beating the Texans, then good for them. At 6-3, they would have already matched last season’s win total and will remain in the thick of the hunt for an AFC wild-card playoff spot. They should beat the Texans, who came in with a miserable 2-6 record and have already fired their head coach. You have to beat teams like the Texans, get fat on them, especially at home and in typical bad Cleveland weather games with the wind and rain and plummeting temperatures, if you want to be in the Super Bowl tournament.

And if the Browns end up falling to the Texans, extending their losing streak to two — both at home — and dropping them to a pedestrian record of 5-4 with seven games left, then they don’t belong in the postseason.

OK, gotta go.
