Game Thoughts During Bye Week

Browns149

Phil Dawson 2-2 fg.

D Bone

Trent had another solid #3 worthy rushing day: 5 rushes, for 2yds for an impressive 0.4avg. Cue Katy Perry's 'The one that got away' lol

Mark O

Last 27 carries for 59 yards...

He sucks..

Will Trent be in the league in 2 years?

Canton Mike

Few people wanted Trent more than I did at draft time, but I was WRONG! When I got a call that they had traded him to the Colts for a 1st, my immediate reaction then was disbelief that they got more than a 3rd rounder for him. Colts' Fans must be PISSED!

This FO did one hell of a job on that one.

just proves that any bum can play behind a stacked OLine and put up some points and stats..............alabama.

good luck finding one cohesive OL like that of alabama in the NFL.

i heard miami's is pretty good though.

D Bone

LMAO I heard they're cohesive too.

Are the cincy trolls coming back this week

LBC mike

think so. think so.

The Panthers are legit. Quite a defense. Great win for them going into candlestink and winning..

Tour2ma

Yup... Panthers are on quite a roll.

Big news of day (besides BLT beating Cinci for us us) was TY Hilton leaving Indy game with a groin pull. Should improve our other 1st round pick...

So should the beat down put on them by the Rams!

If the saints get home field they are in the Super Bowl. And Dallas sucks

Browns gained some ground yesterday and they didn't even play

Bengals lost = +1 in Division

Jaguars won = WC positioning improvement (Titan loss)

Charger loss = WC position improvement

Indy loss potentially gives us better positioning on the 1st and 3rd/4th (don't remember which round the other pick is) Draft picks we got from them.

If the Bucs can upset the Dolphins tonight we can gain some more headway in the WC positioning.

We're currently the #9 seed, so we moved up a spot or two this weekend after the dust has settled.

We got the 4th from Indy. The 3rd is from the Steelers. Man, that could be useful.

The Colts showed two things yesterday. First off, even though QB is the most important position on the field you have to have a RB to at least keep the defense honest. The Colts, not unlike the Browns, have no run game to speak of. I really hope Browns coaches give Fozzy Bear and Obie more looks and have McGahee for a change of pace and tough yards. Secondly, it's amazing how the loss/addition of a WR can impcat an offense. Again, Colts losing Wayne has looked to be a huge blow to them. Conversely, us getting Gordon back was a huge step forward. You can also look at the Pats with Gronk in there. I still think the Colts are a lock for the playoffs because that division is super weak this year, but that first round pick could end up being a low 20's one.

Pittsburgh doesn't reward medocrity with ticket sales

Translation: Yes, Steeler fans are major fair weather fans.

Yeah, the Steelers third round pick could be pretty high... for Shamarko "Whiff" Thomas. He got ankled yesterday really bad. That might get us a pretty serious RB next year, exactly where they should be drafted these days. Another excellent trade by this brass, along with the trade they DIDN'T make (Flash). Tashaun Gipson is quite a bit better than Whiff.

I'm probably out on a limb here, but I think Luck is overrated. I know numbers don't tell everything but he wasn't in RG3 or Wilson's class at all last year and his numbers this year are so-so. He definitely comes up big when it matters most... but you'd like to see the guy do better in just about every other measure (completion %, ratio, etc.). Can he carry a team struggling to run the ball, like a Rodgers, Manning, Stafford, Brady, etc.? Sure didn't look like it yesterday. He throws a lot of picks, too. Even post-injury, I think I'd still take RG3.

Chances of the Eagles letting Foles go pretty much got extinguished yesterday. More likely he signs an extension for starter money. He's ripping it up.

We need right side OL first pick, then QB.
