Mary Kay Cabot joins Dan Labbe on Wednesday's Orange and Brown Talk Podcast to talk about whether the Browns still have a chance to get to the postseason even after Sunday's loss to the Bills.

Show notes

The Browns aren't mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, but the outlook is bleak after their loss to the Bills on Sunday to drop to 3-7. Assuming they don't make a run, what is there left for fans to watch as they play out the string?

It's one of the questions our Football Insider subscribers has on today's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Mary Kay and Dan Labbe discuss this question and more.

Cleveland Browns lose to Buffalo postgame: The Browns look poorly coached Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

This postgame Orange and Brown Talk Podcast breaks down Buffalo's 31-23 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Mary Kay Cabot checks in off the top to discuss with Doug Lesmerises what went wrong for the Browns and whether this teams someone to provide a kick in the pants.

Then (12:23), Dan Labbe, Ashley Bastock and Irie Harris join Doug to discuss the leadership issue and to discuss why the Browns keep starting hot on offense and then falling apart.

The last segment (30:41) makes a comparison to self-driving cars and asks why, after the Browns moved on from Baker Mayfield in pursuit of a Super Bowl-level quarterback, they wouldn't view their coaching situation the same way.

Because the view right now is that the Browns are not that well-coached.

Redrafting the 2018 draft: What if the Browns had taken Josh Allen? Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

In 2018, the Browns had a choice to make: Baker Mayfield or Josh Allen (and a few others). They chose Mayfield.

Five hears later, Allen is leading a contender in Buffalo and is a consistent MVP candidate. Mayfield is a bakcup for the Carolina Panthers and the Browns gave up the farm for Deshaun Watson.

We’re starting Buffalo week with a look back and we’re redrafting the 2018 NFL Draft. What if the Browns had taken Allen? How would he have developed here? What would this team look like without Nick Chubb? What if Lamar Jackson didn’t land in Baltimore?

Mary Kay Cabot, Doug Lesmerises, Ashley Bastock, Irie Harris and Dan Labbe take on all of those topics and more on our Wednesday Orange and Brown Talk.

Browns blown out by Miami postgame: The problems Deshaun Watson won't fix Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

On this postgame episode of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Dan Labbe and Ashley Bastock are in Miami to report on the Browns' 39-17 loss to Miami, and Doug Lesmerises and Irie Harris join them to go over everything that went wrong in this blowout loss that dropped the Browns to 3-6.

The Browns can't stop the run, and will that problem continue? How much did Mike McDaniel outcoach Kevin Stefanski? How much longer can defensive coordinator Joe Woods go on with the defense playing like this? Did Andrew Berry build a roster with fundamental problems? Do the Browns have any chance to get better before playing Buffalo and Tampa Bay the next two weeks? And how much should the return of Deshaun Watson in three weeks make things better?
