Not a Kamara game and that’s good and bad. Ingram is out…that’s good 
 

I fully expect a heavy dose of Taysom Hill running into a stacked box and pushing piles.  Not exactly something we should look forward to given our front problems.

We need to sell out on Taysom Hill and tackle him.

Exactly what I was thinking. He plays angry for a QB.

Saints are in the same situation as the Browns...a tiny chance of making the playoffs. Might as well pull out all the stops Saturday

Johnson's got a thigh injury.  Bruised thigh I believe.  Wouldn't it be nice if players wore thigh pads?   Just a thought.....

Oh god how old fashioned is that ?  Thigh pads, I had them in my first uniform in fifth grade.  Along with hip pads, knee pads and a single bar helmet. 

Old fashioned but they did serve a purpose  ..... even if a bunch of 5th and 6th graders pads kept falling out.  Oh and high top shoes, my first spikes were in high school with a  "Lou Groza style" square toed high top kicking shoe.  

Then true or not starting in high school,  college and for sure pros players thought that they could run slightly cut time off their 40 and 100 yard times.  Then came taping everything  like shoes, pads, similar reasons.

Now  would the pads actually work now ?   Yes or no ?    My guess is yes.  So will they ?

I hate that....unless it's white....but we would never have scheduled ourselves to wear white for a December game.  We'll be solid brown no doubt.

I really liked the white 1946 throwback from last year.

Me too!  It's gonna be a who has the better fundamentals day with the blocking, tacking and ball security.  And since you live somewhere in the vicinity of the NE Patriots - you probably remember the day the Browns beat NE with heavy doses of Peyton Hillis.  Brian Baldinger did a great feature after the game called Smashing Pumpkins that turned out to be a clinic on how to run the ball down the esophagus of a defense (and not just any defense - a Bill Belichick Defense).  They were supposed to be good against the run too. All his replays showed a hat on a hat where everyone in the box got blocked in a great version of smash-mouth football.  The beneficiary of the victory over a Tom Brady led football team was... Colt McCoy.  

Let's confuse the Holiday here a little with a return to that Smashing Pumpkins mentality and break out the bright orange uniforms.  You want ugly folks?  We got it covered!  Adding meatball to spaghetti, if there is a blizzard - orange might be the easiest color to see out there. Stay tuned...

I'm as old school as anybody, but I actually prefer it when the Browns wear the brown tops. Yeah, I realize the Browns were dominant in white from 1946-64.

The main reason is to me they look better, & I hate seeing division rivals wear their home colors in our stadium.

This is a big game for CLE. Show us you still care, kick the Saints' a$$.

I like the brown tops....with white numbers.  I hate the solid, no stripe, brown pants.
