    If our D line doesnt own the day, then....well......damn

  • Well it appears our troubles may be over...

    "Yes. It starts Sunday," Dwayne Bowe said. "I can't wait to go out there and showcase my talent and be a ringleader for the guys and go out there and bring home a win. That's all I can ask for. If God's capable of having me out there playing, that's what I'm going to do."

  • Lets fucking hope so

  • All warm and fuzzy now!

    I hear ya and appreciate the sense of humor. Football is suddenly going to work like a light switch that turns on THIS Sunday afternoon. Phew! I couldn't believe how wonderful it all looked last year when we were sporting a 7-4 record prior to Josh Gordon's similar thought process laced with empty promises. Man, was our passing game ever fun to watch when Gordon came back and delivered on his promises. Our opponents adored watching him not remember the playbook, taking plays off, and dropping passes depicting just how dialed in he was. He punctuated all that with how important it was to show up for team meetings in preparation for the next opponent. Sometimes I wonder who our opponent is on Sundays.

    I couldn't help but notice Bowe back pocketed all accountability and any inevitable setbacks to God with this classic above: "If God's capable of having me out there playing, that's what I'm going to do."

    Thatta boy. We know how important it is for God to prioritize the football ahead for all the overpaid NFL Players robbing salary caps like gypsies. For example: Fat Albert Haynesworth, Phil Butneverfull Taylor, Shawn Lauvao-ouch, Ryan Leaf-mealone, Tequila Sunrise Stallworth (power-soaked Cleveland for 2 signing bonuses at the exchange value of 1 TD reception in 2 years). We've already seen guys past their primes coming here to cash paychecks while they learned how to answer how much pain they are feeling on a scale of 1-5 for their soft tissue injuries. Sometimes an empty inner chest is just empty regardless of how much football talent sits in that rear view mirror.

    I'll be rooting for all the guys that show me they want to play like a Brown because they're pretty easy to appreciate these days.

  • Unfortunately I am just as skeptical on Bowe as you Flugel. I see another NFL has been checking into the Browns Assisted Living Program. I'd love to be proven wrong.

  • I will be surprised to see him

  • Lol

  • Time to start turning the page and hop a plane to SoCal where one of the more "thrilling" final approaches awaits us. I swear you can see into building windows out the right side of the plane.

    Once on the ground we can finalize our game plan before heading to Belmont Park for a head-clearing ride on the Giant Dipper.

    As I said in the "Goal-line..." thread, I'm optimistic, but there are some adjustments I'd like to see. Here's my Game 4 Wish List:

    • Scratch MJ, activate Bibbs
      • Our latest attempt to find a FB is not doing significantly better than our 2014 attempts.
      • Let's try the guy that sparked several Pre-season drives with his legs at H-back.
    • Scratch Housler, Activate Bowe
      • With Bibbs active to fill out our 3TE sets, I don't think we'll miss Housler's zero YTD receptions.
      • Bowe knows SD... or at least he should after a lifetime in the AFCW; time to check out our $9mm-man.
    • Install Draughn as our #2 RB
      • Start Crow, but give the guy who has shown signs of field vision some touches early.
      • Based upon the early results distribute the touches accordingly.
      • Use Duke in passing situations. His PassPro, hands and open field running all warrant this use of him... running out of a set, not so much.
    • Stop acting like a TE presence is required every single play... This ain't Fantasy...
      • Barn is having a good year, but we don't have a TE that creates a significant match up issue.
      • In passing situations let's see some 4WR, or even 5WR, sets... let's flood secondaries with our quantity of good WR quality.
    Now as promised, here's your ride on the Dipper... a true classic...

    That's good news for our 32nd ranked Defense against the run. Maybe even better news is San Diego ranks 28th against the run.

    Right!....so, if we are the defense we claim to be, we should completely close the run down and sack Rivers about 12 times.....

    Absolutely! Sic em, sock em and sack em. Anyone object besides Steel heads?

    First, you are dangerously close to being sent to find a rake. At least you could edit out the video...

    Watching Duke run. He's not seeing holes. Way too eager to bounce outside. YTD he's carried 23 times for 68 yds... and had one for 20. Let him find success in space catching the ball, and then work him back into the backfield.

    But if Draughn can't go vs. SD, then it's all moot.
