Ticket prices are kinda sucking balls. I am not having any luck at finding anything relatively cheap....must be a hot ticket.

Very odd. You'd think the ticket prices would be at a deep discount considering they only have three fans? ;)

If I'm not mistaken they blacked out a game this season ready. I assume ticket prices are up because a lot of Cleveland fans in the area (and in Cleveland) are purchasing. Last game I went to in cincy was two years ago when the bengals were making a playoff push. It was probably 55/45 bengals to browns fans.

You Are mistaken.... The only one in question so far was the game against the Jets. And 100 percent of tickets were sold.

Well good for the bengals "fans" then. It only took making it to the playoffs 3 of 4 seasons for people to finally start showing up.

Don't lump the damn bandwagon fans into those of us who have been fans of the team through thick and thin. I have gone to games in the bad seasons and the good seasons. The only reason why ive been to more lately is that i can afford to now do to my job.

Who said I lumped you into that group? As a whole though, that fan base is known for their bandwagonism/ fair weatherism.

Anyway, not that I really gaf about power rankings, nor have the Browns done anything to be ranked highly, but is anyone sick of ESPN having the Ravens' dick in their mouth? The ravens have looked awful all year, they looked awful this past sunday, and probably should have lost after giving up a hailmary, yet they still had the ravens move three spots up the rankings ahead of the Browns, who didn't play this past sunday.

A Browns fan I work with is waiting til Saturday to buy tickets in hopes they will drop the day before. Not sure if there's any hope in that or not.

Several people at my school go to 2 or 3 games a year and I can't believe how expensive they are.....and being 45 miles from Cincy they are Who Dey crazies when the Bengals are playoff worthy and jerseys amuck, but when they aren't you never hear a word and about 5 people continue to wear the memorabilia.

Yeah, I pretty much blew off the part about Crappo. He's a game manager who hit a hot streak at the right time and cashed in. As a Browns fan, this pleases me greatly knowing we'll be facing him for the next 5 or so years. He's kinda like Andy Dalton....whenever your team faces him, you know you have a decent chance to win.

Too bad you'd take any game manager over what you've had or have in Cleveland for 10yrs

I don't agree that flacco or Dalton are game managers. They both are too streaky for that. I really don't care for either honestly.

I meant it in the sense dalton doesn't really win games for the bengals. Last year the bengals won numerous games where dalton threw well below 300 yards.

Not really. During that time period, game managers really wouldn't have done much with the lack of talent (this team had) around them.

Dalton has no excuse but he shits in his hat against the good defenses. He'll feast on mediocre pass defenses but put him up against a good pass D and old Scut Farkas shits the bed.

Did I miss a joke or something or is it just a typo is the thread title saying Week 10 instead of Week 11?

As for the game I see it being pretty low scoring. I like the Browns to win 23-20.
