Yet Another 'Must Win'

OK, so most Browns fans have all but given up hope on the playoffs this season. Sure, it seems like a long shot, but it isn't completely out of the question (not yet, anyway).

Tonight, is another "must win" game for the Browns. So far this season, by my tally, the Browns are 2-5 in "must win" games. Of course, in my opinion, all games are must win. There should never be any game where it's "OK" to lose.

This notion of a "must win" game is ridiculous, frankly. Because, as we've seen with the Browns this year, having lost "must win" game after "must win" game, they keep getting another chance. Sure, the severity of the "must win" situation increases each and every time. So much so, that most people have no idea what we're play for anymore.

Tonight, the struggling Browns face the struggling Bills in Buffalo on Monday Night Football. Buffalo really need not worry ... just ask the Broncos, nothing soothes an ailing team like a game against the Browns.

Who can forget last year's game between these two franchises. On a cold day in December last year, Mother Nature decided to dump a blizzard on Cleveland Browns Stadium for the Browns-Bills game.

It wasn't high scoring, and it was difficult to see, but it was a fun game to watch. Jamal "Snow Plow" Lewis had 163 yards rushing.

Tonight's game, while no blizzard is expected, will be cold and snowy once again. Perfect football weather, if you ask me.

I expect Brady and the offense to play well again, but I don't expect them to get much help from the defense, yet again. I hope I'm wrong. I hope the Browns come out tonight and light it up against the Bills.

Go Browns!
