Ooof....first time a team above .500 was beaten in back to back weeks by teams 8 games under .500, and at home. Mr Tomlin, who is slowly morphing into Marvin Lewis, might be in trouble if the Yinz lose out.

Kudos to Massillon, now that this has been bumped.

So the night after they won the state championship, we were at Mountaineer Casino and experienced a real life Uncle Rico. Dude must have been in his mid-40's wearing his high school Massillon jersey, sleeves pinned up like he was an offensive lineman to, of course, sport the "guns." Jersey was 2x's too tight, walking around with his shoulders pinned back and his chest thrust out like he just won the Ohio State Bench Press Competition. Quite a sight. #GloryDays

Well that was certainly a game. 

A lot more scoring than expected. 15 punts EXACTLY so it was a push.

No worries. You may have gotten me with one a few weeks ago. lol

Well, Lawrence practiced today so we'll see. Don't think he did much more than throw but add the plane trip and the fact this may be a rainy slop fest and the Jags are just asking for a season ending injury if they trot him out there.

I read that as sarcasm, meaning Herbert is way better than Mitch and they still only put up 6.

Bingo....with a much better offense. Steelers will likely try to lean on the run and the Pats D is #3 in the league in ypg given up on the ground. Will likely try to make Mitch beat them.

This feels like maybe tonight…if Steelers can get I side the 10



Good lord.

I made my comment about the punts because the Chargers only put up two FG's on the Pats defense and Herbert is just a tad better than Trubisky. This one could end 3-2 on a walkoff FG in the bottom of the 9th.

Over/under on 15 punts during tonight's game?

Ford gained like 3 yards here, after he was hellaciously slow on the cut back. Chubb would potentially have scored. Shit, even if Chubb didn’t take the cutback he would’ve likely gained 10+.


They are going to force feed Ford because they drafted him but would much rather see Pierre Strong getting most of the touches. Seems to have better burst to me.

So he arguably is the best Rb in the division 


Actually, stat-wise, I think he is....if that says anything.

Also, my gut says Lawrence plays Sunday. Showed up yesterday with no boot and said he was "feeling a lot better than he thought he would." If he practices today, he plays.

He looked 28 years old last week….I was surprised. I will guess that each week he “ages” a bit with the sorenesses from the games. In 4 weeks he should be his age and mobility.

Looked fresh last week though


I'm sure he will make mistakes but he's looked unlike any QB they've suited up this year, like a pro. His throws were decisive and he showed a pro arm like we probably haven't seen since Mayfield or Derek Anderson, velocity-wise. 

Like Al said, they need to make him more of a game manager, with heavier run support, than a gunslinger. Should've done that with Watson too and he might not have gotten injured.

DTR not listed either. Nice to know based on this season, we wont have to go to Walker if Flacco is decapitated during the game. 

I'm just hoping that Flacco's the one they are going with and I don't have to wince every time a QB drops back to pass, praying for no turnovers.

BR1986FB replied to "Cleveland Browns 2023 Season Thread" at 03:09 pm

Denzel Ward practiced today and is trending toward being back Sunday. This would be huge. Fingers crossed.

Norman Lear - 101


One of the most important men in television history. 

Great, great shows including "All in the Family", "Sanford & Son", "Maude" and "The Jeffersons", all of which would cause heart attacks in today's triggered cancel culture.

Said the same thing Sunday. The trickle down of the defense is crazy. Can go straight man on the sidelines with him. Dangerous without. That led to Takitaki getting singled up middle of field with Puka. He shouldve had more help, but they had to shade sidelines cause Newsome was struggling. Also effects the rush, and our LBs are more concerned in the passing game which means they dont go as aggressive on rushes and we dont get the pressure as much. 

He honestly may be the MVP of the league! lol

Emerson had a really bad game too.

I would be pretty stunned if Lawrence played. Even a lower ankle sprain would be smart to sit out 10 days. Any athlete knows you can come back way too quick on an ankle, and could skate by ok, but the chances of rolling it again with the weakened ligaments goes up tenfold and then you are just battling it for months on end. 

Oh, I agree and if by some chance he were to make it, a key component of his weaponry (his legs) would be hampered and he'd be a sitting duck like Flacco.

They really need Denzel Ward back in the worst way. His inability to go the last two weeks I believe was a major factor in these losses.
