Gotta get over this Browns hangover from that joke of a loss this past Sunday. Hopefully the Browns have short term memory, because thats the type of loss that can set the tone for the rest of the season. BR was very confident the Browns can win this game (more confident than the Bengals game). Not sure if he still is after the disgrace this past Sunday. I can see the Browns winning, but honestly, I doubt they will. Colts do not want to be embarrassed again, and they are at home. I will take the Colts in a close win unfortunately. I see the Browns once again controlling the game, but not knowing how to close games out. Something idiotic will happen like a fumble on their own territory while trying to run some clock, or an unncessary pick 6.

Cleveland fans might as well start thinking about the draft if the Browns lose this one.

I'm taking the Browns in this one, but not confident about it. Maybe I just hope we dont look as pathetic as we did against the Bungals. Also the Colts don't have the big Dline that gave the browns oline fits which I think was a huge issue. Also I hope Shurmur gets his head out of his ass and calls better plays in the first quarter. If the Browns have any sembelance of pride, they wont lay down on the field again.

I think the Browns squeak this one out. Not too sure about a score though.

Browns need their DL to make things rough on Collins. Get pressure on him and watch the mistakes mount up.

Browns have had recent history of playing the Colts tough with Manning. So, without him i expect them to get blown out.

I learned a long time ago not to expect a win in any Browns game. So, until proven otherwise, Indy wins this game. I con't care if Manning is out. Hell, they could lose everyone they lost last year AND Manning, and the Browns would probably find a way to lose.

Can't welch on my earlier prediction. Staying with the Browns in this one.
I will say that Mathis & Freeney will probably be hopping around on their own "self made" pogo sticks with the wood they'll be getting at the thought of facing this O-Line. Prayers to Colt...

If Collins beats us then their is no doubt in my mind this team won't win many games this year and will have the #1 pick in the draft. We'll probably trade down out of it instead of drafting Andrew Luck.

If they are bad enough to be in a position to grab Luck you do it because IF they are THAT bad, McCoy probably wasn't THAT good.OQB;894462 wrote:If Collins beats us then their is no doubt in my mind this team won't win many games this year and will have the #1 pick in the draft.

McCoy HAS to get better at finding throwing lanes because there are too many balls being batted down. Might help if Shurmur used McCoy's strength and actually rolled him out more.

Yeah no kidding, the whole first quarter I was wondering where in the hell is the rollout, bootleg play? SMH.BR1986FB;894473 wrote: Might help if Shurmur used McCoy's strength and actually rolled him out more.

Even if McCoy turns out to be a Flacco or a Hasslebeck, would you rather have Hasselbeck or Peyton Manning?wes_mantooth;894481 wrote:Yep

You're asking the WRONG guy. He just went "six to midnight" when you said the word "Hasselbeck."Commander of Awesome;894495 wrote:Even if McCoy turns out to be a Flacco or a Hasslebeck, would you rather have Hasselbeck or Peyton Manning?

Hillis should have a big game. The Colts are not so good against the run. The Indy offense won't be nearly as bad though, and I hate picking against them at home, even without Peyton.

Didn't seem like much of a crowd in Cleveland for the opener. I was surprised by that. Thought it would give them a home-field advantage.
Any reason for the lack of support?

Actually I was there, and the stadium was full. Nice fail at trying to be a troll. We were loud for most of the game, and we were also loud while we were chanting USA! USA! USA! during the pregrame activities. Something that scumbag piece of shit Mendenhall would probably be highly against doing during 9/11.Non;894563 wrote:Didn't seem like much of a crowd in Cleveland for the opener.

It was about 50 percent full, if that, in the fourth quarter. No noise. And it was a tight game, season opener, Battle of Ohio.like_that;894585 wrote:Actually I was there, and the stadium was full.

I see, now you are changing your tone after posting complete bullshit. People started leaving 5 minutes left when it started to thunder and pour, that happens at every stadium, just like Heinz Field was about 10% full when the patriots were raping them last year. Other than that your troll post is a complete fail. It was a sold out full game. Glad to know you were more interested in watching the Browns game than you were watching your scumbag criminals get raped (pun intended) by the ravens.Non;894594 wrote:It was about 50 percent full, if that, in the fourth quarter.
