I wouldn't let his fantasy stats fool ya. Richardson is the best runner behind Peterson in the game. Combine that with our porous defensive and I think he's going to murder us.
LeSean McCoy would have something to say about that.

No way we lose this game. Jason Campbell?
They are one of two teams with a worse QB then we have...as their starter. Much less their backups!

Campbell shredded our glorified prevent D in the dome at the end of the Bears game last year when he stepped in for an injured Cutler. A nice long TD drive that brought the score to 21-14. He was 6/9 for 64yds and a TD. Nearly passed for more yards than Ponder (91) that game and on only 1 drive lol. He also finished with more TD's xD. Oh but back to the Browns, yeah they stink. This is our 1 chance at an easy stress free blow out.

I don't know the exact statistics but it looks like the Vikings have been struggling with the run thus far. Trent Richardson is a beast so I wouldn't be surprised if our Run D got gashed again. I think the Vikings can still take this one at home though. Then again the Vikings have a knack for shooting themselves in the foot so I wouldn't place a bet on either team.

OK..my (very few left) friend's in MN agree, somewhat..
Vikes 17 Browns 14.
AD 150 and 2 td's, Ponder 190 2 int's , ( BOTH NOT HIS FAULT
LOL
Campbell 270 1 td 1 int, Richardson 130 1 td and 1 FUMBLE at the 50....
Vikes win W/ FG 45yds in last 12 sec due to penalty!
Win is a win no matter how ugly ...( did you count every swing ?)

Campbell, Hoyer..whoever they start doesn't matter.
Until our purple plays up to their potential either wearing a helmet
or not it's still game we can lose if they repeat the same stupid BS
we have seen so far. Play and coach like you want to win..not as if it's a given
that you will, 6pts ahead with not enough time to get back the lead if your goal line
is crossed is the worst moment for a mental meltdown. IF YOU SEE A PROBLEM, and have
a T.O. to use...USE IT!

Yep. We totally got this. I was a little nervous about Campbell. I'm suddenly a bit relieved. Feels nice.
Their D worries me a bit. Doesn't matter, though. We're going to win.

And we think WE have it bad...
Brian Hoyer will be the 19th quarterback to start a game for the Browns since their returned as an expansion team in 1999. Sunday in Minnesota marks the Browns' 196th game in that time, counting one postseason game.
Here is the roll call, listed chronologically, with each quarterback’s won-loss record:
1. Ty Detmer, 0-2.
2. Tim Couch, 22-37.
3. Doug Pederson, 1-7.
4. Spergon Wynne, 0-1.
5. Kelly Holcomb, 4-8.
6. Jeff Garcia, 3-7.
7. Luke McCown, 0-4.
8. Trent Dilfer, 4-7.
9. Charlie Frye, 6-13.
10. Derek Anderson, 16-18.
11. Ken Dorsey, 0-3.
12. Brady Quinn, 1-2.
13. Bruce Gradkowski, 0-1.
14. Jake Delhomme, 2-2.
15. Seneca Wallace, 1-6.
16. Colt McCoy, 6-15.
17. Brandon Weeden, 5-12.
18. Thaddeus Lewis, 0-1.

I'm going against the grain and say that starting Hoyer will help the Browns. A QB with very little, if any, tape to scrutinize. This is the kind of situation that has given our defense fits in the past. However, it all hinges on Hoyer's ability and that is the big variable.

- Have struggled on offense, but could be due in large part to Weeden. If Weeden doesn't start, Campbell could throw a real wrench into things for a Viking defense that has yet to find it's footing.
I'm not convinced Weeden has been the major problem. He's been sacked 11 times in two games -- that's an 88-sack pace!
Jason Campbell is even more immobile than Weeden, so if our sack numbers don't improve this week, we could be in real trouble. We have GOT to get pressure on the QB.
EDIT: Wait...Hoyer is starting? Wow. Back to earlier scenario where "nobody" QB blows up and hands us our a$$.

Hope not, but I have the same bad feeling.
