Browns Thursday Night
Here's the problem with Thursday night games: They benefit the home team. A short week, with travel, puts the road team at a disadvantage. There have been five Thursday games this season. The home teams have won four of them. Now, the first one really doesn't count, because Miami and Pittsburgh played in week one, but in the two NFL network games, both played in which the road team was probably better, Kansas City and Cincinnati took it to what looked like tired Broncos and Ravens teams.
Basically, I don't see how the Browns win tonight.
*Derek Anderson should start tonight, regardless of whether Charlie Frye can go. This is not the start of a quarterback controversy, but rather, common sense. Putting a banged up Charlie Frye out there on four days rest in a game with no playoff implications makes no sense. Anderson is playing against a team which has never seen him. This might be a chance for Anderson to say to Romeo Crennel and Phil Savage that they don't need to go out and get a veteran QB for next season.

I think it is indeed the start of a QB controversy, if only because there isn't a quarterback on that roster who deserves to be handed the starting job, no questions asked.
There's a reason why Anderson has looked better than Frye. Anderson has been allowed to simply play.
Frye has been barked at by the likes of Romeo Crennel and Maurice Carthon all year, to the point where he is even more confused than when he was drafted.
If Crennel and Carthon were trying to teach you how to run an offense, you'd be ready to jam meat skewers into your eyeballs by now, too.
