It sure seems that way after they were able to defeat a capable opponent (the Seahawks) in overtime yesterday. Right now this offense is firing on all cylinders and just can't be stopped. I still have a lot of concerns about the defense, but kudos to them for making the stops when they counted yesterday. I figured we were sunk when Seattle won the coin toss in overtime, but low and behold the Browns got a rare spot of the ball call overturned and then made a huge stop on 4th down.
If the Ravens are able to beat the Steelers tonight, that would put the Browns in a three-way tie for first place of the AFC North. It would also set up a huge matchup between us and Pittsburg next week. And after the beatdown they gave us in Week 1, you better believe we've got payback on our minds.
Just to show you how well the team is playing now, this is the first time since 2001 that the team has won three games straight. And we should be 6-2, had the Raiders not pulled that cheap tactic in the closing seconds of the game against us in Week 3. I don't want to get too overconfident, but this team is looking like it really is for real. Now let's just hope they don't have to give interviews saying they're "for real" over and over again (like a certain Canadian wrestler were supposed to forget ever existed) in order to prove it to the rest of the country.
