    Okay,

    it's time for Ghoolie............. yes, Ghoolie, to put some positive spin on Sunday's game.

    You circle-jerker's need to first calm down and realize that I have loved the Browns well before many of you were even fighting me for a spot on your Mom's fat titties. But I digress........

    I am not sure about this Ghool. How old are you? Lets put it this way. I well remember the firing of Paul Brown and the 1964 NFL title. Can you really predate me by much?

    My venom is directed that I want a viscious, relentless, bad ass attitude team NOW....... not in 10 years, not even next year. NOW.

    I agree, I want the same thing. But I am not willing to become a FRAK to get it.

    Regarding our SHIT players..... when you get down to it, probably 20 of the 32 NFL teams have shit talent, 8 have strong talent and then you have 4 teams which are SB contenders. SO first, lets not blow each other, okay? NOt all 32 teams are contending for teh SB, 4 or 5, thats it.

    Agree, to a point. Though I would say that there may be 8 solid SB contenders. (Pats, Jets, Rats, Squeels, Eagles, Packers, Falcons, Saints

    )

    The Browns schedule gives them probably 8 games with toss up talent differences, shit talent teams. Henne versus McCoy? We win that one. I don't believe however that we will win our share of those games, being 50/50, because we don't have playmakers, and most other shit teams have one or two.

    I just do not see us beating the Ravens or Steelers.

    They won't be favored, but that does not mean they cannot beat them in the right circumstances.

    So what do you have here? Four or 5 games remaining that the Browns will be competitive in, but have no real advantage to pull out. 5 games we have no chance of winning, save the any given Sunday, BS.

    Actually, on their schedule, I only see 4 games in which they would likely be decided underdogs...and those are the two against the Rats and the Shitts. Otherwise they play the Fins, Tits, Raiders, Seahawks, 49ers, DATs, Jags, Bengals, and Cards. I don't think the Browns should be counted out of any of those games. Maybe the DATs at best.

    Usually, all things equal the home team gets a 3 point advantage for home field. The oddsmakers evidently don't see it as strongly or we get 2 1/2

    Most likely this will be another toss up, without excitement and without individual performances that will make the headlines.

    The Browns are one of the worst teams in the NFL and will finish with a weaker schedule, about the same place they did last year.

    People, there is no mystery, anticipation or potential heroic, emotional impact to this team. Blah. That's what Lerner, Holmgren and Shurmur have delivered.

    Hell, given their schedule, it is quite possible that they could be in the running for a WC spot up until those last 5 games....unless they totally collapse. If they are in it, they could have a punchers chance. You never know.

    PS - spell checker my ass. I type sloppily, but you guys think sloppily so we are a good fit.

      I agree we'll make Henne look like Marino and DT look like Adrian Peterson. The defense wasn't able to really stop the Collins lead offense last week, only forcing 1 punt in the first half. I know they held them to field goals, but letting a team go right down the field like that is very unsettling. Still not sold on the offense either, seems like we have to fight for every yard and 1st down. With a lot of 3 and long plays that can go wither way.

      Prediction?

      Dolphins 28

      Browns 10

      McCoy 12/32 1 TD 1 Int

      Henne 23/30 2 TD 0 Int

      Hillis 73 3.1yp

      Thomas 112 6.0yp 2 TD

      28-10? Do you really think the Browns are a far worse team than last year? I'm not saying that we will win this Sunday, but we did beat the Dolphins in Miami last year 13-10. I expect another close game regardless as to who wins..

        I'm calling it now, this could be a trap game for the Browns. Call it the 'Daboll' factor. You KNOW he's going to want to come into Cleveland guns blazing.

        It is just too bad for him that his guns can only shoot 3 yard passes.

        He has gone down field repeatedly this year. He has not lacked balls. That still doesn't mean that we will be worth a damn on Sunday. I just hope for a good game and an entertaining time in your city while on our visit.

              expand that line of thinking and ask yourself if miami is any better than last year or not. neither are a complete team, but i dont see us being drastically better than last year...marginally perhaps, and alot younger....which equates to mistakes. they certainly are more veteran...

                  However, when I say a badass team, I am more refering to attitude, agressive play calling on both sides of the ball...... spirit, fight, emotion.

                  I think that stuff is missing and I for one, miss it.

                  Well bro with a complete off season or a coaching staff that's a year or more into the operation...the playbook wouldn't look so vanilla. Spirit...Fight...and Emotion are going to come and go with this young group until they find an identity that is theirs and no one else's. The biggest thing for them to do this season is to play fundamentally sound football. If they do the little things like maintain focus for an entire snap count...keep defender's arms down on the line...get out of the huddle and line up...maintain outside containment...so on and so fourth this team will get better and that playbook will open up. Talent is important...I agree, but I see a lot of talented players Sunday in and Sunday out not play up to potential and get owned by the less talented but more fundamentally sound player.

                    I understand, though I think it is possible that we may have some young players on this team that can exhibit that attitude. I think Ward and Haden may come close to being a Minniefield/Dixon like combo. These rookies on the D-Line Taylor and Sheard look like they may be badasses. Too soon to tell, but so far so good.

                    On offense, yes, we need more firepower, but clearly Payton Hillis is willing to run over, around, or through you.

                    Its a work in progress. WE do need a couple of smack you in your mouth linebackers. No one is going to mistake this bunch for Lawrence Taylor and Carl Banks. People are singing the praises of DQJ, but so far I think he has been lame. His next Butkus like tackle will be his first.

                              I think we can definitely get a win from the Dolphins.

                              Our defense is playing good despite the fact that they had one lapse in mental judgement versus the Bengals and the Colts are Manning-less. I think the keys to the game on the defensive side of the ball are locking down Marshall, hopefully Haden is put on him, stopping the running game and being mindful of Bush. Thomas is a dangerous RB and Bush is a dangerous everything.

                              The offense seems to being coming along more and more every week. The Dolphins D is depleted by injuries so it will be a good chance for McCoy and WRs to develop further chemistry. With Hillis being sick and probably not a 100% it will be a good shot for Hardesty to show us Brownies what he has to offer. I think the key here is Evan Moore, he creates mismatch problems as he is too athletic for most LBs and too big for DBs.

                              Never walk away from home ahead of your axe and sword. You can't feel a battle in your bones or forsee a fight. -The Havamal (Book of Viking Wisdom)

                                I'm worried about this game. The dolphins offense was on fire week 1. I'm not sure about last week but if they play like they did against the patriots I don't think we'll be able to win a shoot out yet.

                                Marshall is a pretty good wrong and bush makes some tough match ups on d.

                                Our run d sucks but pass d is decent. Hopefully we can prevent an air assault and prevent a shootout.
