  • It's going to be a major clash. I'm fascinated by the new DC and new defense - they seem to be everywhere, with rare exceptions. His defense just seems to be brilliant and versatile.

    It's tragic to not get to watch Chubb all the rest of the season. dammit.

    With the way the defensive line has been playing, and the secondary and linebackers, I think our #1 pass defense, so far, will shut them down a lot, which means Jackson will have to scramble a good bit ...if he can. The ratbird wr's group is not up to par at this time...

    The ratbirds will confuse browns qb with surprise blitzs and cover short and intermediate a good bit, knowing that he doesn't throw accurately well often on long throws.

    It's going to be a hell of a clash. I hate the ratbirds like the squealers, so I look for the offensive line to dominate, and the ratbird offensive line to have a tough time trying to stop Garrett and others.

    I kept wondering why Tenn kept stupidly trying to run wide on the Browns defense. Owusu and our secondary are far too blazing fast to allow that to work much.

       Jackson scrambling for points seems to be the deciding factor. I finally calmed down and got myself a 10' stick with a felt square on the end so I don't have to watch the qb play, I'm good, as I sit in my power sofa chair rehabbing from knee replacement surgery.

    Did you really do this? That’s a big ass stick man. You could totally pretend you were jousting the tv. Grab a couple coconut halves, bang ‘em together like Monty Python’s Holy Grail, rock the sofa chair, pick up the stick and BAM! 

    Then make your wife throw flowers on you, or whatever they do when you win a joust.

    That the same one you had to get a waiver on to get into the A.F.? If so, hope it works a whole lot better for you.

    LOL. No, I didn't really do that. I thought of it though, when I was in the hospital for a few days after the surgery. The surgeon told my Wife and friends that my knee was way, way worse than the xrays and CAT scan showed. I said that to my occupational therapist gals who hated that trade, too, and were huge Browns fans, too. They LOL. I heard that the Browns secondary was the top one in the nfl so far - if this defense can keep dominating, WOW.

  • Things in this matchup that have given the Browns trouble in the past include: Mark Andrews, Lamar Jackson escaping the pocket and countless should-be tacklers, well prepared defense to exploit Cleveland's vulnerabilities on offense.  1 new guy that could be a challenge is WR Zay Flowers.

    The Browns can win this game at home if the offense isn't careless with the football...

    Well then I think you may appreciate this youtube video (as will all on the BB).

  • A "generational" in football terms is about once every 10 years.

    A bit early to be calling these guys the next Legion. 

    edit: But I know that's boring and doesn't drive clicks and views.  So....... yeah.  

  • This looks good.  Center hobbled, Tackle likely out. 
     

    No Humphrey.

    WR depth is going to be questionable 

    Ojabo and Oweh are key pass rushers.

    The   generational   used to be once every   25-30 years  i like to say in the 1950s, 1960s, maybe  1970s  like the Cleveland BROWNS,  Detroit,  in the 1950s the Cowboys,  49ers in the 1960s,  Steelers 1970s.   All give and take subject to revisions.  The  generational quarterbacks  for one like Aikman, Montana,  etc.

    Lately like the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s-today much more frequently maybe 10 years (+/-) years.  The old dynasties are pretty much gone.  It's the  "worst to first"  era now,  almost too many to list with plenty of revisions.   The NE Patriots for but one, just look at TB, Brady in SB Champs, gone and gone.

    All subject to discussion.

    I was thinking of the 1985 Bears Defense with a just good enough offense with QB Jim McMahon (82.6 rating). Some guy named Payton helped some.

    EDIT: BTW DE Richard Dent had 17 sacks and 7 forced fumbles that year. Sound familiar?

  • I hope we don't get BLACKED OUT by the Pittsburgh Steelers game,  happens all the time if they're on at the same time.

    I'm going to have to check that.

    https://www.wkbn.com/sports/why-the-cleveland-browns-wont-be-on-tv-in-youngstown-this-week/

    Due to the NFL contract with CBS, WKBN must show the 1 p.m. game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Houston Texans this Sunday, October 1, and cannot show the 1 p.m. game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.

    Under the NFL/CBS contract terms, both the Steelers and Browns claim Youngstown as a “secondary” home market.

    The team that plays “away” automatically becomes the mandatory team. If they are both away or both at home, CBS would be able to pick whichever game is believed to deliver the largest audience.

    Airing the Steelers game and not the Browns game is ultimately fulfilling that contract and was not a decision made on any level at WKBN.

  • I guess Njoku blew himself up at his fire pit and has burns on his arms and face? Jesus man. I think he'll play but not sure. Wtf is wrong with our dudes. Lol

    Dumb shit prolly used gasoline which is a huge no-no in outdoor cooking. Damn fumes ignite just like it's really fumes in autos that ignite, not liquid pure gas.

  • On NFL.com Watson is listed as questionable with a right shoulder.   Can we please not let him QB draw up the middle?  He doesn't know how to get down and avoid the hit.  Instead he wants to do a Nick Chubb impersonation.

    CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It’s been quite a busy few months for Browns legend Joe Thomas. After being enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August, he has another ceremony to look forward to. At halftime of Sunday’s matchup with Baltimore, Thomas will be enshrined in the Browns Ring of Honor.

    Another accolade for Joe!

    He will be enshrined in the Browns Ring of Honor during halftime of Sunday's game. Come celebrate with us!

    During the ceremony, Thomas will be given a Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence. The ring is made of 14-carat gold with a total diamond weight of 1.75 carats. The ring will also carry a special engraving, the number 369, which happens to be his Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement number.

    Thomas become one of the league’s best offensive tackles during his 11-year career in Cleveland, and set the NFL record for most consecutive snaps played (10,363). Among his accolades are 10 Pro Bowl selections, eight All-Pro selections, and a spot on the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade Team. Thomas also allowed only 30 sacks during his career, and rarely committed a penalty.
