  • I thought we were excellent and that was my first win. Most of the Texan fans disappeared before full time and the game finished in an almost empty stadium with the exception of our support. Went to pre match bash on Saturday night and met lots of Texas based backers and then met them all again at the tailgate on Sunday. Been surprised at how quiet down town Houston has been but the welcome and hospitality I've received has been bang on. I can highly recommend Birra Porretti and the pubs on main street to anyone who passes this way as I'm eating and drinking like a Lord. Was surprised that even the Texans fans that I talked to were good sports even after we'd given them a battering. I fly to Cleveland on Wednesday so I'll be in a pub near you lot soon. Merry Christmas everybody!

    That's not a mentality that was often heard in a Browns' locker room before. Things are changing. In a good way!

    You’ve likely already found this out, but everything’s bigger in Texas. Go ahead and yank your trousers down, you’ll see.

    I took your advice and now I've been arrested for flashing! Hope they let me out in time for my flight north tomorrow. Worst bit was the lasses pointing and laughing.

    You're absolutely right. It's something that's not talked about as much, and that's "speeding up the game". We all love sacks and hits, but not giving the offense TIME to get to deeper routes has been a vital aspect of our 3rd down success. 

    Good points so far jiggs ....

    And also in the snack dept.    CLE  -at-  HOU,   snack. Grilled keilbassi on a bun .....  coming up soon .....  ummmm.

    Dang...scallops sound like the perfect pairing. How'd ya cook them? Just sear them briefly on each side with a little olive oil and salt/pepper?
