D needs to step up in a major way.

THIS!

our D made browning look like joe Montana out there 

DTR is a true rookie though. Browning has been in the NFL for quite some time, has spent time on two, three different teams, practice squads, etc. 

That doesn't mean DTR isn't as competent or capable, but, he doesn't have the same weapons on offense that Browning has. Njoku can be a headache in the receiving game from the TE position but Chase and Higgins are a lot tougher to defend Vs. anything the Browns throw at them this Sunday.

I think Amari Cooper is also hobbled, so if he plays, he won't be at his best more than likely. We have a chance to win this Sunday. With or without Lawrence. Just have to figure out a way to attack their defense. 

It's the best in the NFL. You have to find some area of weakness and specifically attack it over and over again in hopes of chipping away at a blockade that eventually opens up the dam and allows everybody else to flood in offensively. 

Even the best defenses in the NFL can have a letdown or two. The 49ers included. I recall Burrow and the Bengals having their way with them in San Franciso not too long ago.
